FOR RED CROSS DRIVE

Named in the Other Places.

The recent effective work of the Amer
lean Red Cross society in Italy, following
the sudden attack upon Italy by the
Austro-German armies, and the more re-
cent aid rendered by this society to Hall
fax, calls very wildly to the attention of
the American people the fact that the
organization, though national in its in
ception, is international in practice.
Commencing on Dec. IL and continuing
to Dec. "a, the American Red Cross is to
conduct an energetic campaign through
the length and breadth of the United
States for the enrolment of every pos
sible member, young or old, The nation
al war council has delegated this work
to Theodore S. Vail of said council, and
like everything Mr.. Vail undertakes, the
work will be thorough. II is expected
that great, new enrolment will be
made during this Christmas membership
campaign week and that the American
Red Cross will start the new year with |
practically every home represented in its |
membership and, in most cases, most Of |
the members of the home also enrolled
