from national headquarters OF the League

dent Of the League In Vermont.
THE League to Enforce Peace" says
the letter, lis, as you know. cooperating
with the agencies Of the government in its
projects looking towards the winning Of
the war. We are already being called on
more and more frequently and for more
important service than we expected. and
1t has become quite clear that our USE
fulness to the government viii be limited
only by the power and resources OF our
organization throughout the country
There will be important service for your
organization constantly throughout the
war and in the period between the ending
of the war and the final decision on ques-
tons of peace in which the elimination Of
the work for which the league was or
ganized must come.
THE League to Enforce Peace has pledg-
ed its best service to the American Red
Cross. The director of the Red Cross
Speakers Bureau has asked as a con-
tribution Of great value to the plan UNI
der way the immediate securing of lists
of men and women who can. and will.
speak before audiences Of varying kinds
and numbers. during the week of Decem-
Der H. Will you send, by the earliest pos
sible mail, list of avilable speakers in
your State to the director OF the nearest
district Red Cross Speakers Bureau Dist
enclosed). The Red Cross will send spe-
cific request for service and a supply Of
special Red Cross literature to such names.
ut seems specially fitting that the
league should give its heartiest co-opera-
ton to the Red Cross, of whose central
committee our president. Mr.. Taft. ia
chairman. The success of this campaign
viii be another long step toward the win
ming of the war. We believe-and we have
SO assured the Red Crdgs-that every Off
cial Of the league will be glad to do this
definite thing at once, and to give his
best influence and efforts to carry this
campaign through to success
The letter contains reminder that more
than 1000 members of the league through
out the country, In answer to an appeal
from Secretary McAdoo. made public
speeches for the Liberty Loan during the
