To countless civilians at home and
in the lands of our allies across the
seas, the flag of the Red Cross is
the only symbol in the world. The
achievements of the army of the Red
Cross are matter of record. Dur
ing the week of May 20 to 81 a sec
ond war fund of one hundred million
dollars wifi be raised. Comprehen-
sive plans have been outlined and a
thorough organization perfected. Men
of affairs in every city, town, village
and hamlet throughout the country
will devote themselves to the raising
of the fund.
Not sentiment alone, but realiZa-
ton of the importance of the Ameri-
can Red Cross as a necessary factor
in the winning of the war has caused
the leading men in every community
to volunteer their support and so
assure the continuance of that serv-
ice which has thus far been render
ed in the preservation of life, the
pursuit of happiness and the safe
guarding of liberty. Americans every
where are proud of the efficiency
energy, courage and self-sacrifice
constantly being shown by our Red
Cross executives, our Red Cross
nurses, our Red Cross stretcher bear
ers, our Red Cross doctors, our Red
Cross ambulance drivers ministers
of mercy who mother the children
and comfort the feeble, the helpless
and the manned in Belgium, France
and italy
Now new emergencies confront us
and we must be prepared to stand
behind our own boys as they face
the deadly fire of the enemy. Our
future safety lies in their hands
Let us not forget our obligation to
them.
