The Red Cross Society

III al age chargeu with Delng
selfish. sordid, and commercial there
has grown up an developed the
greatest organization for unselfish
service the world has ever seen
the American Red Cross. The
growth of the Red Cross Society is
evid snce not to be controverted
that the spirit of service is strong
in the hearts of the people Of today.
The work of the society demon
strates that there are thousands
who are willing to devote their SER
vices to humanity, and the support
given them by voluntary contribu-
tions shows that there are hundreds
Of thousands more who are willing
to devote a portion of their means
to the alleviation Of suffering.
The activities Of the Red Cross
always have been generously sup
ported by the American public, but
only since .sour own" soldiers be-
gan to take a place in the trenches
alongside our allies has this sup
port become bountiful. It is the
suffering and comfort of the men
from "our own neighborhoods'' as
well as the physical needs of our
allies for which the Red Cross must
now mobilize. The result-a great
er and more imperative duty now
confronts the givers in America.
| No appeal to the generosity of
the American people has ever been
unanswered. Let one part of the
world be visited by some calamity
like the Mount Pelee and Italian
earthquake, China floods, the Johns
town flood, the San Francisco earth
quake or any greater or lesser
calamity, and the response from the
Nation is immediate and generous
to a degree. The services of the
American Red Cross Society to both
sides in the Boer War and in other
wars was liberal and sacrificing
Fresher in our minds is the work
the American unit has been doing
in Europe in the last three years

and duty we owe our own soldier.

LONDON, April 26.-From specially

round for believing that the days of

No statement of the kind can of
course be predicted definitely, but it
is believed TO be certain that Austria

which bind her to a continuation of
the war. from which she can expect no
solid gain.
clear distinction is drawn between
the secret move by Austria in the di-
rectioh of freedom from German shac-
kles and the illusory peace moves, !
which Berlin is generally ready to fos-
ter with the object Of opening up di-
ycrgencics between the allies. There is
no danger, for instance, of Italy ac-
cepting proposals from Austria with
ont the fullest consultation and agree

London agreement. The terms and

RED CROSS THEATRICAL
DAY is POSTPONED

A. L. Castle received by this morn
ing's mail a letter from the American
Red Cross stating that Red Cross
Theatrical Day, which was to have
been observed throughout the country
on October 26, had been postponed to
December Z. The postponement was
made by Henry P. Davidson. chair
man of the Red Cross War Council,
and A. L. Erlanger, national chairman
for Theater Day, SO that attention
might not be diverted from the
Liberty Loan. -.
Many theaters will devote the en-.
tire receipts for the day, and many
actors rnI contribute their entire
salaries for the day. to the Red Cross
War Relief Fund. A number OF theat-
ers are planning special. performances,
and the additional time will doubtless
mean that many more will make like
plans. AS the letter had just been
received, Mr.. Castle had not had time
to confer with local theater managers,
but he feels sure that they. will enter
heartily into the plans. -.
