APPEAL FOR RED CROSS
Issued by Harry P. Dawson,
Chairman of War Council.
Believes Present Drive Will Create
Organization Representative
Of Entire People.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Henry P. Da-
the American Red Cross has issued
this call on the eve of great Christ
mas membership campaign of the or.
ganization:
ITO the 100000 members working
Loyalty with us today-stand by the
colors."
"To the ten or fifteen million men,
mas evc--fall in"
Mr.. Dawson, who was called upol
by President Wilson to serve the Red
Cross after the country went to war.
told in his statement something OF
what he had learned about the organ
ization and of its wonderful expan-
sion to meet war conditions.
10 Modern Miracle.
To-day the American Red Cross is
one of the modern miracles" he said.
1T has accomplished the impossible
in its national organization with VOL
unteer workers; in the Junior Red
Cross for child, en-; in it's chapter ad-
ministration covering the whole OF
the United States map. 1t has mobo-
lized America for action in the world
emergency. 1t stands behind the
American army and navy with sup
plies and with personnel for every
cali which they may make upon it.
1t works with President Wilson's ap-
proval in the task of preparing our
people for mutual service to those
among US who may suffer because of
changes which the war has brought.
IF the Red Cross is not as demo-
cratic as you would like to make it;
that is probably because you are on
the outside looking in. My expert
ence is. that no one has the right to
criticize who is not in the work up to
his neck. l believe we shall obtain
a membership of 2O,OOO,OOO, in which
all social lines are flung to the winds
and an organization representative OF
the entire people will be created"
