THE PRESIDENT APPEAL.

i - f. + . s
To the American People:
: Another winter closes around the
great European struggle and, with
the cold. there cones greater need
among soldiers IN the fghting line
and in the hospitals. and still more
among, the women and children in
ruined homes or in exile.
This country. at peace, blessed with

sympathy with suffering humanity
among the Delligerent nations has
been the American Red Cross. This
organization Of our countrymen has
brought relief to every nation in the
great war.
It's skilled workers have cared for
the wounded of every army have
gone forth through the desolate
Siberian plains to bring help to thou
sands of prisoners, have fought dis
ease in pestiIence-ridden Serbia, and
! have brought hope to countless nom
combatants, women and children.
Wherever these Red Cross men and
women 60, they are carrying the mes
sage that Americans cannot rest
without seeking to relieve such SUI
lfering.
Organized, persistent ~orl1, like
that conducted by our Ane~ioan Red
Cross, requires a great deal Of money.
Since the beginning of the war
money has come to us from men and
women in all walks of life. We have
received checks in five figures and
pennies wrapped insmudged en-
veTopes.
But now our funds are we'll ,nign
exhausted We find ourselves at the
point where activities must be seri-
ously curtailed and we must turn
away from the heart-breaking ap-
peals brought by every european
mail unless by your contribution you
help us to continue.
1t is for you to decide whether the

will allow it's national relief organiza-
ton to keep up its work or withdraw
