Pleads for Red Cross.

Omaha, June Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: l am surprised and grieved
at the seeming indifference of hun
dreds of men on the streets of Omaha
who do not wear Red Cross button.
They should realize the great impor-
tance of supporting the Red Cross. We
are told that the wounded in France,
both allies and prisoners, are suffer-
ing for bandages and the Red Cross
cannot meet the demands. Surely
there are but few men but who could
give 81 to the Red Cross. The people
do not seem to realize that the gov
ernment depends on the Red Cross to
take care of the wounded. Let any
man remember that 81 will supply
handages for one or more poor fellows
who has been hurt while fighting for
the rights Of those who stay at home.
Now it is high time that these hun
dreds of men that we see on the
streets were buying and wearing Red
Cross buttons.
Say, Mr.. Reader, when you retire
on your comfortable bed, would you
not feel more comfortable to know
that you had given relief to one or two
wounded who have been fighting for
you? Think it over.
