need all the help and encouragement
and aid the folks at home can possi-

Cross, instead of confining itself to CIV

have been hurt or are sick, is giving
them Christmas trees and comfort kits
and doing everything possible to make
Christmas enjoyable for them. Not

to a Christmas tree. The Red Cross
has gone into the Santa Claus business
wholesale, as 1t goes into everything
1t undertakes.
And that is why every man. every
woman, every child, owes 1t to him
self and to the soldiers and sailors to
become a member of the Red Cross. A
campaign is being carried on to enlist
100000 new members of the Amer
lean Red Cross, which will make 1t five
times as large and ten times as rich
and powerful as any other Red Cross
in the world.
1t Is because of the millions and mil
lions Of American boys who are going
over to France that the whole Amer
lean people has got to join the Red
Cross In helping care for them. A few
hundred thousand can be looked after
by the present membership; but multi
ply them by ten or twenty or twenty
five, and it takes nation to back them
properly
1t has been great sport this year to
fix up the Christmas packets, and write
the little personal note that goes with
each one, and picture to ones self the
pleasure with which the unknown SOL
dier in France will hail the gift from
the home land. For there has been no
real fighting-only trench raid or so,

II the French line should break Mt any
point-Pershing will hurl his boys into

that means. There will be fighting

Chickamauga, and Gettysburg, and
wherever Americans have fought,
They will be pitted against a foe who,
