of the American fighters in
France.
Second. The campaign for
subscriptions does not start until
Thursday morning; and until
that time members of the vari-
Gus teams are urged to refrain
from solicitations.
Third. The money contributed
by Americans to their Red Cross
will be quite as deadly to the
Germans as sort-nosed bullets
because 1t will keep the lighting
armies of the Allies in condition.
Fourth. In the Harrisburg
district the total contributions
should total "a dollar n head
for every man. woman and child
in the city; and this applies as
we'll to Dauphin county.
Fifth. No organization other
than the Red Cross exists which
will aid in bringing Americans
back from France sound in body
and mind. The American Red
Cross wilr assist in saving the
soldiers from the Land of Mem
ory and will bring them back in
stead to the land of the free and
the home OF the brave.
Sixth. If Harrisburg were to
contribute the interest from its
Liberty Loan bonds for only the
first year the total would be
140,000-an investment that
would bring dividend in victory.
