President Wilson would never have
called for such an army had he the

We have been assured by the allied
leaders that our strength must be
thrown into the fray before victory
can ever be hoped for. And with the
calling of this immense force, the com

Editor States-Graphic: To-day the
American Red Cross is one of the
modern miracles. 1t has modified
America for action in the world

sary comforts Of life; to renew them
in body and mind if they are crippled;
to aid the stricken countries to recover
from the devastation which they have
witnessed and with his knowledge the
efficiency of the armies is increased
a hundred fold. This is a message
then of the Red Cross: For our coun-
try's sake, for our boys sake, most of
all for our own sake you need to join
and be one of US in the great task )fI
humanity which President Wilson has
outlined as the scope of the Red Cross
service. Are you doing enough ?
When you meet in the streets those
fine fellows in khaki, in the pride and
hope of their strong youth, which each
one of them is ready and proud to
give for his country, don't you feel
surging up within you the insistsnt
