humane service to which we are called.
The cause and the occasion impel me to
call upon each and every citizen to do his
utmost in making this movement a great
manifestation Of the patriotism Of our
people.
Vermont will not only furnish her full
quota to the fighting forces Of the United
States, and bear her full financial share,
but her people who remain at home will
stand behind and provide for the care
and comfort of the nations defenders to
the very best Of their ability.
The American Red. Cross is the official
agent under the war department, desig,
mated by our federal government to stand
between the people Of tho United States
and their army and navy in time of war
The duty now confronting us is to thor
oughly mobilize the generous impulses OF
Vermont behind this great service. For
this purpose a Statewide membership
campaign will be undertaken by national
and State Red Cross organizations on May
Is next. i hope that. large number o.
our citizens will become active members
of the Red Cross. ,..
