Christmas Men,
bership Drive.

A nationwide Christmas member
ship drive has been planned by the
Red Cross War Council. The building
up of the Red Cross membership to
Is, 100000 in the United States is the
goal of the campaign. This means the
addition of approximately 100000
names to the present muster roll
The drive is to start December II and
continue increasingly up to Christmas
Eve.
General features of the membership
campaign were worked out and an
proved at a conference at the NaEtE
al Headquarters of the Red CQ4ss
today in which representatives of each
of the Red Cross Divisions of the
continental United States participated.
A national Christmas membership
drive committee has been appointed by
the War Council to have general
charge of planning and later conduct
ing the whole campaign. Theodore
N. Vail, President of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
has accepted the chairmanship, and
DR.. H. N. MacCracken, President of
Vassar College, will be executive sec
retary. Other members of the COM
mittee are:
His Eminence, James Cardinal Glib
bons; Bishop William Lawrence, Bos-
ton; DR.. Henry van Dyke, Former
Minister to the Netherlands, Prince
ton, N. j.. John w. Britton, San Fran
cisco; Benjamin Gratz, st. Louis; B.
Ban Johnson, Chicago; Hervey Lind
ley, eSattle; John Mitchell, New York
City.
"Make it Red Cross Christmas
is to be the recruiting slogan. Every
one taking out membership in the
Red Cross during the drive period
will be known as a "Christmas mem
ber." The effort practically will be
limited to securing annual members,
paying dues of one dollar; or two dol
lars in the case of subscribing or
magazine members.
During Red Cross week in June, the
$100, 100000 mark set by the War
Council was oversubscribed and gave
assurance of a national interest in the
Red Cross work which should make
the Christmas membership drive fully
as successful.
| Division me!nLer9hir Christmas
drive committees aTe to !, selected
by the DivNion managers Of the Red
Cross, these committees to work un-
der the general direction of the ma
tional committee. Each of the 5000
or so Red Cross Chapters also will
appoint committee to cooperate un.
der the guidance of the respective
Division committees. The Division
committeeman will communicate not
later than November 13, with the
chairmen of all the chapters, in order
to map out the campaign on local
lines.
AS this is the country's first Christ.
mas in the world war, it is felt that
the people will be thinking of service
rather than festivities, and that minds
generally will be turned to the battle
fields of Europe, and especially to our
own soldiers and sailors. It is be-
lieved therefore, that the country will
be in a frame Of mind at Christmas
time to give expression to all it's anx-
iety and hope, by showing and renew
ing evidence Of it Support of the
Red Cross.

Perhaps to dream that it was but a

And then when we awake again to

For what is there to hope in wars

Dear God, to know not whether we

For one who lives or one who died
today?
To stay at home, and look and look

Across the trampled grass Of

ASKED FOR BY THE RED
CROSS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY.
REPORT WILL BE MADE BY MAR
TINSBURG CHAPTER IN FEW
DAYS.
RED CROSS BOUND TO PROVE A
VIAL FACTOR IN THE
WAR.

Red Cross Week is at an end and
the $1OOOOO,OO0 has been raised. Mar
tlnsburg, as usual did her share in
contributing a portion of the amount
The ladies are not quite ready to
state the amount raised by them, for
they are yet waiting for a number o;
contributions which were promised,
but so far have not been received.
1t has been an active week for the
ladies and they have workd indefa-
tlgably in order that every dollar
could be raised would go into the
fund. The people Of Martinsburg, as
well as the entire country have re-
spondcd nObly to the task of raising
the immense sum required. The call
was one of the most stupendous and
appealing in the history of the world
and America has again demonstrated
by contributions that she is in this
war to see it through to success
full issue.
TO demonstrate how the money will
raised will be spent a dispatch from
France relative to the American Red
Cross officials landing in that coun-
try few days ago, states they have
been presented with a notable gif;
in the way Of one Of the main build
ings on the Place de la ConcOrde for
the use Of the Red Cross. The build
ing was presented by American
friends Of the Red Cross. One of
the commission said: "It has been
good fortune to finance all our ex
pcnses of administration through the
generosity Of American friends, so
that everything realized during Red
Cross Week in America will go into
the actual work pertaining to the
American Army and Navy, and not
penny will be usel for administration
charges. This insures the funds go
ing to important relief projects in
France and Belgium, as we'll as to-
along lines approved by American
general headquarters.
The Red Cross through the gener
Osity Of the American public is bound
to be vital factor in the war Thou
sands Of wounded Americans are sure
to be helped You'll you cOntri-
butCI to the cause--will have much
to be thankful for in the days to
come. Now, do not stop here. There
is yet much that you can do. The
ladies are thankful for all that you
have done, and appreciate it very
highly. If you are not member Of
the Red Cross you should be. Head
quarters are always open. Pay the
place visit and see what the ladies
are doing. You will want to assist.
