The patriotism of the members
of Congress seems to be guaged
by the value they are to the food
gamblers in delaying all the bills
having for their purpose regula-

war. Food gamblers look upon
the war as a providential vista
tion that permits them to accum-
ulate millions in their nefarious

When you make your contribu-
ton to the Red Cross the money
does not go into the hands of
some irresponsible organization
to be dissipated, but it is put in
the hands of the greatest and
most systematic relief society
the world has ever know.
Woodrow Wilson is president Of
the National Red Cross, and the
society has the recognition of
Congress as an important branch
of war preparedness. The $1O0,
900, 900 to be raised by the Red
Cross by the donations this
week from the people in the
United States is all to be expend-
ed in relieving the distress of
sick and wounded soldiers in the
war. You cannot tell how soon
your son or brother may be of
this class. and the little you give
will come back many fold by the
kindly ministrations given your
own flesh and blood.

When you bought a Liberty
bond you were just lending to
the government out of your

you donate to the Red Cross it

cause. 1t is your mite given to
relieve the distress of some SOL
dier boy who has gone to the
front to fight your battle.

In This Sign, Conquer.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
Sixteen hundred years ago an
enemy host threatened Gaul. pre-
cursor of modern France. The
first Constantine, surnamed the
Great, led his armies to the de-
fense. Three times he was vic
torious, and it was in this cam
paign, as Eusebius and other his
torians record, that he saw in
the sky a luminous cross, with
the Greek words which have been
rendered into English: In This
Sign, Conquer. "
After sixteen hundred years
there blazes in the heavens a
cross as luminous as that which
struck awe to the heart of Con-
stantine, a cross fiery, flaming
and red-red with the blood of
millions who have died for free
dom, red with the glow of the
inferno wherein the liberty of
the liberty of the world is being
forged.
The Red Cross must be the
symbol in which America goes
forth to conquer. All other
forms of conquest we have re-
nounced. Ours is the task not
merely to supply millions of men
and mountains Of foodstuffs,
ships and the weapons of war
fare; we must rebuild cities and
hearten war worn peoples, pour
oil on their wounds and bind
them up, kneel by the dying and
receive from their lips the SIM
ple testament of faith in which
we are to rise, fight forward and
finally rest on our arms victor
ious. The hardness of our en-
trance into the war must be the
measure of our effort. Let us
give our money without stint.
The Red Cross has appealed to
America for $100,000,000. There
ought not to be an American who
will not give something. A dol
lar from each of US would suf-
fee. 1t must be more than that
wherever possible.
To give money is so little! Can
you shut your eyes upon the
shining Red Cross.

1t does not require any more
loyalty and patriotism to invest

does to invest in a railroad bond.
1t is good business investment,
absolutely safe, and the best in
vestment any person can make.
But it take patriotism and loyal
ty, and of the true blue brand, to
let loose Of your money for a cold
donation to the Red Cross, when
there will be no coupons to clip
and the principal is never return
ed. Now is the time to show
your patriotism by subscribing to
the Red Cross fund.

The Germans continue to take
their toll of merchant vessels
without regard to the flag they
are flying. But there will come
the day of retribution, and too
late the people of Germany will
awaken to the realization that
they were not fighting for prin-
ciple; the cost in blood and treas
ure was made to satisfy the
vaunting ambitions of a war-mad

Will Winslow Do Her Share?

This is Red Cross week, and
people all over the country are
giving of their substance to raise
the 500, 100000 that has been
asked to put the Red Cross ac-
lively into the service to take
care Of the soldiers who have to
fight our battles that liberty may
not perish. 1t is time for people
$ to arouse themselves to a full un-
derstanding of what this war
means in sacrifices they will have
to make to bring it to a success
full end. The war we are now
in is the greatest struggle the
world has ever known, and the
like of it will probably never be
witnessed again. While it lasts
the people will have to continue
giving even to the extent of per-
sonal sacrifice, and let US start
now doing our full duty. The
Winslow Chapter has been given
her proportion of $4,000 to be
raised, and it should be the pa
triotic duty of every person to
come forward with his subscrip-
tion of $5, $40 or S25.
To hold back because you do
not approve of the entrance
of the United States into the
war only demonstrates you do
not have the correct idea of loyal
ty and patriotism. Look the
truth squarely in the face. The
United States is in the war, and
when it closes we are either the
victors or the vanquished. If
we fail in our mission where is
your pride of country? What be-
comes of your opinionated theory
that you did not approve the war?
Will you feel a pride in the fad
ing glory Of the Stars and Stripes
that stands for liberty of thought
and action?
We of the men who are not
called to shoulder gun must put
up our money to care for those
who are compelled to go, and we
should be glad to have that priv
ilege. Ninety per cent of the
men in Winslow can easily give
five dollars each to this Red
Cross fund and not miss the
amount from their daily life, and
they should do it, and do it cheer
fully. Let Winslow show her
colors to the rest of the state that
she can always be depended on
to do her full share in every pa
triotic duty she is called upon to
perform.
