President ". r. Foster Brings From
Battle Front Authentic Informal
ton Of Suffering-Red Cross
Only Agency to Help

w. T. Foster, president of Reed
College, Portland, has come and
gone. Twenty-Five hundred Pullm an
people have heard his message, au-
thentic, virle, compelling. Twenty
five hundred people have become
awakened, are better Americans,
more patriotic, determined at last to
! bear their full share of the great bur
den of sacrifice that must be borne
by America before the war for the
survival of democracy and the sup
preston of autocracy can be won.
President Foster is truly a man
with message. That message
touches the heart strings of every
nearer, tanning into flames the fires
of patriotism and determination
which have been permitted to
shoulder in the breast of an Amer
lea that is slow to awaken to the
real seriousness of the situation.
Wednesday morning the speaker
addressed the Students of the State
College during the chapel hour. At
noon he appeared before the cham
Der of commerce and in the afternoon
addressed the students of the high
school. Wednesday evening he was
scheduled to address a mass meeting
at the Methodist church. Long be-
fore the time set for the address the
church was filled to. capacity, with
hordes yet to be taken care of. 1t
was evident th2t the church was all
too small for the throngs and adj
journment was taken to the college
auditorium, where fully 1000 people
heard the address that stirred them
to a decision to act.
The address was profusely illus
trated with lantern views of devas-
ttated France, telling a story which
caused the immense audience to
weep and shudder with the thought
Of it. He related conditions as
lIty actually tAlSl III the ueAdS-
tated area, telling of destroyed
towns and cities, stricken and op-
pressed women and children, worn
out and diseased French citizens
returned from behind the German
lines after three years of slavery for
the kaiser. He told of the fuel short
age in France and forecasted the ter
rible suffering from cold that is
bound to come this winter. Finally
he pointed out, in a convincing, de-
teTmined manner, that the solution
Of all these problems, the alternating
OF all this suffering, the saving of
France and her people and the wei
fare OF our own soldiers, is depend
ent, wholly and unequiyocally, upon
the people Of the United States. and
in large part through that great hui
manitaran institution. the American
Red Cross.
Too many Of us look upon the
war as a moving picture" he said.

OVER 1000 MEMBERS
JOIN THE RED CROSS
Drive in Pullman Is Progressing Well
and VIII BE Completed This
Week

Pullman's big Red Cross member
ship drive started last Friday, when
a corps Of pretty girls, who yolun-
teered their services, were stationed
in the post office and all the bust
ness houses to sell membership GER
tificates. They continued the good
work all day Saturday and were as
sisted by number of business men.
AS a result of this work over 500
members were secured.
The student drive at the State Col
lege was conducted by the Women's
War league and brought in over 175
student members. DR.. McCully was
in charge of the drive among the fac
ulty members and had not reported
up to yesterday noon.
Yesterday morning 10 teams of
business men called at all the houses
in town. which were not already dec
grated with a Red Cross membership
flag. Up to 400 O'Clock seven teams
had turned in the names of 81 mem
bers.
There is little doubt that when the
complete returns are tabulated the
total will aggregate about 1900 mems
bers. and returns from the country
districts and auxiliaries will bring
the membership Of the Pullman or
ganization to 1000 or better.

the farmers asked the assistance OF

q have also pointed out a solu-

bring this about we will have to have
a steamer or two from the emergency

here at the government price, at the
same time limiting the use OF the
bars as much as possible by having
the farmers in localities where 1t IS
feasible and possible change to the

does not prove entirely satisfactory

VIVID WORD PICTURES OF WAR
STIR PULLMAN TO REALIZE NEEDS

I'VE get an occasional thrill then

to the situation, and the sooner we
awaken the sooner will our soldiers

General Perishing and said:
How can the American Red Cross
be of the greatest help during the

by helping sustain the morale of

hesitatingly replied.
DR.. Foster told how, under Major
Grayson Mp. Murphy, the Red
Cross was sustaining not only our
own troops, but the French. He
spoke of hospitals, of canteen sta
tions, of hostels for desolate chill
dren, of villages outside the devas-
tated area where not a single able
bodied man remained. He mentioned
city of 5000 people where there
was only one doctor, an old man, too
old to practice his profession.
He was travelling with "a French
officer, who said This is the vii
