The time has come when the people OF
America, who are unable to bear arms
against the enemies of Right and Freedom,
are again to be gwen the opportunity OF
cause Tor which We fight.
To the American Red Cross has been
delegated the work Of aiding, sustaining
and comforting our men engaged in actual
warfare, their families at home and the
civilian population in devastated districts.
Its work Of mercy in rescuing and caring
for the wounded, in relieving distress, in
building up the shattered, in carrying cheer
and comfort to those who bear the heavy
burdens Of the war and in sustaining
morals, is of so great Importance to the
success of our arms that as mere mill
tary necessity it ranks but little below men
and munitions; while as an exemplffication
of civilized Christian spirit that has not
been crushed by the INDUSTRIOUS evils of war.
1t is the highest expression of humanity.
Kansas must and will respond in a more
than generous spirit to the call for the sec
ond Red Cross War fund. To facilitate the
work of enrolling subscriptions and in ac-
cordance with the designation of the Presi-
governor, do hereby proclaim the week
beginning Nay NED e SR 1sss; as MEEK
in the state of Kansas, and call upon all
Kansas people to show by their co-opera-
