Mr.. Dawson expressed doubt If more
than per cent Of Americans realize
that we are today not only fighting for
the principles upon which our repub-

istence."
Love for Mankind Broadens.
People Of England and France were
slow to change their ideals early in the

their affection and regard fot mankind
had immeasurably increased. They
seem to be without malice or design.
envy or jealousy. without sordid ambi-
tion-to be living on a higher and bet

that through the Red Cross we cannot
only render a service to the people OF
our allies-to those who are today
fighting for us-but we can bring force
fully to our own people a sense both OF
their obligation and OF their oppor
tunity: and / am optimistic enough tC
believe that the men and women Of thii
country will. in a not far distant day
rejoice In sacrifices-in real sacrifices
and demand that the Red Cross shal

our allies our heartfelt appreciation o
what they have done for US. and express
such appreciation by every possible al,
and support within their power to send.
