President S reclamation
for Red Cross Week

nouncing the appointment OF the Red
Cross war council was as follows:
Il have today created within the
Red Cross war council, to which Will
be intrusted the duty Of responding TO
the extraordinary demands which the
present war will make upon the SER
vices of the Red Cross, both in the
field and in civilian relief, greatest ef-
ficiency and energy to the relief work
which this war will entail will be to
concentrate it in the hands OF sin
gle experienced organization which
has been recognized by law and by in
ternational convention as the public In
strumentality for such purposes.
Indeed. such concentration Of adj
ministrative action in this matter
seems to me absolutely necessary. and
hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute whether great
sums or small to the alienation of the
suffering and distress which must in
evitably arise out of this fight for hui
mainly and democracy to contribute
to the Red Cross. 1t will be one of the
first and most necessary tasks of the
work to be done, and done upon
great scale. l hope that the response
to their efforts will be demonstra
ton of the generosity of America and
the power of genuine practical sympa-
thy among our people that Will COM
mand the admiration of the whole

account of lack of power, the stations

all reached their destination.
