I RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Is SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

4 OF all the observances of
Christmas the American people
4 have known the one this year
4 will be most In keeping with the.
4 true spirit Of the day. Self Gen.
4 tered exchanging Of gifts will be
4 little In evidence because our
4 resources are pledged to much
4 more important use.
4 The Red Cross Christmas Roll
4 Call is conceived In the new =
4 light. When the American man,
4 woman or child pays the nomi-
4 nal membership dues the action
4 far transcends an ordinary con-
4 tribution. Wherever people are
4 starving, wherever they are sick,
4 wherever they lack shelter, the
4 Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
4 will stand for renewed hope and
4 the promise of efficacious relief.
4 How necessary, then, that the
4 answer Of the American people
4 should be overwhelming. The
X amount Of money raised is sec
4 ondary. The world will measure
4 our humanitarian purpose by the
4 number of names enrolled. II
4 the word goes out that FORTY
4 MILLION Americans have Joined
4 the Red Cross or a greater num-
4 Der all mankind will be revived
4 by the practical proof Of our
4 Idealism.
4 Those who have been on the
4 firing line know that the work
4 of the Red Cross will not end
4 with the proclaiming Of peace.
4 In many respects the demands
4 upon the Red Cross will in
4 crease as new fields of relief are
4 opened. The readjustment Pc
4 riod will present many opportu-
4 mites for sharing our abundance
4 with our world neighbors, who
4 are at rock bottom In every hu-
4 man respect.
4 Every American will be think
4 ing along this line because the
4 needs In Europe and Asia will
4 stand forth with insistent call to
4 his and her sympathy. In the
k-Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
4 the aim Is to place the entire
4 American people on record as
4 approving the Red Cross spirit.
4 Such approval will make every
4 dollar expended abroad have a
4 sacred significance to the bene-

RED CROSS NOTES.

The war Is over, but the devastation.
misery and deprivation. caused by the
war still prevail in large sections Of
Europe.
Urgent calls have been received from
our Foreign Commissions for clothing
for the civilian population Of number
of the stricken countries. We have
been asked whether the >women who
have been producing such remark
able quantity Of Of surgical dressings
and hospital supplies and garments for
the last year can speed up the produc-
tion of Refugee Garments. We have
answered that We believed that the
women would respond to the cry for
help from their sisters and brothers
abroad as they have responded to the
call for help from the Army and Navy
in winning the war, II the influenza sit
uation would permit.
The National Superintendent of Gar
ments, Miss Taft, has just returned
from the other side, where she went for
the purpose Of making a study of the
garment requirements. She reports that
the garments we have sent over there
meet the needs remarkably well.
The garments that we can send by
February first may be the means Of saw
ing thousands of lives. Garments that
cannot be sent within that time will ar
rive too late to help out this winter.
If these refugees lived in our own
town we can be sure their distress
would be relieved. They live 5000 miles
from us; but shall we allow the mere
fact of distance come between them
and US?
The Mountain Division has not failed
in anything important that it has un-
dertaken in this war. They feel sure
that they are not going to fail to ans
wer this call and they depend on the
Chapters to back them up and to make
this a great and entire success.
The whole American people will be
invited, in the week preceding Christmas
to enroll as members of the Red Cross.
1t should not be necessary to urge this
enrolment. When the Christmas Roll
is called every person in the United
States should respond. All that is need
ed is "heart and a dollar" And
where there's heart there need be nc
doubt Of the dollar. The people now
know the Red Cross-THEIR Red Cross.
Their trust. their judgment, their moral.
monetary and physical support has
been vindicated- They will need no ur-
ging to join. They will be proud tc
wear the button emblematic of their
membership. in good standing. Where
ever our soldiers and sailors may be, Tx
Red Cross will stay with them until
they are demobolized. Nothing which
can be done will be left undone either
for the men in the war zone. for those
returning, for those In the camps and
hospitals. or for their families at home.
Fifty thousand trained Red Cross work.
ers are now engaged in Home Service
work thruout the land.
1t is confidently believed there need
be no further campaigns for Red Cross
funds. but instead the Annual Roll Call
will constitute the foundation of the
Red Cross. You have the heart; have
the dollar ready. You must be wearing
the 1919 Red Cross button when the boys
come home.
