THE PRESIDENTS REQ
CROSS PROCLAMATION

Washington, December 12.-Pres-
ident Wilson, as president of the
American Red Cross, has issued the
following proclamation, asking every
American to enroll in the Red Cross
during the Christmas Roll Call week,
December 10th to 23rd:
THE WHITE HOUSE
Washington, d. c., Nov. 26, 1913.
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
One year ago twenty-five million
Americans, by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas time,
sent to the men who were fighting
our battles overseas a stimulating
message of cheer and good will They
made it clear that our people were
of their own free choice united with
their government in the determina-
ton not only to wage war with the
instruments of destruction, but also
by every means in their power to
repair the ravages of the invader
and sustain and renew the spirit of
the army and of The homes which
they represented. The friends of the
American Red Cross in Italy, Bel
gium and France have told, and will
tell again, the story of how the Red
Cross workers restored morale in the
hospitals, in the camps, and at the
cantonments, and we ought to be
very proud that we have been per-
mitted to be of service to those
whose sufferings and whose glory are
the heritage of humanity.
Now, by Gods grace, the Red Cross
Christmas message of 1913 is to be a
message of peace as well as a mes
sage of good will. But peace does not
mean that we can fold our hands.
1t means further sacrifice. Our mem
bership must hold together and be
increased for the great tasks to come.
We must prove conclusively to an
attentive world that America is per-
manently aroused to the needs of the
new era, our old Indifference gone
forever.
The exact nature of the future SER
vice of the Red Cross will depend
upon the programme or the associa-
ted governments, but there is imme-
diate need today for every hearten-
ing word and for every helpful SER
vice. We must not forget that our
soldiers and our sailors are still un
der orders and still have duties to
perform of the highest consequence,
and that the Red Gross Christmas
membership means a great deal tf
them. The people of the saddened
lands, moreover, returning home to-
day where there are no homes must
have the assurance that the hearts
of our people are with them in the
dark and doubtful days ahead. Let
us, so far as we can, help them back
to faith in mercy and in future hap
piness
AS President of the Red Cross, con-
scious in this great hour of the value
of such message from the Ameri-
can people should be glad if every
American would join the Red Cross
for 1919, and thus send forth to the
whole human family the Christmas
greeting for which it waits and for
whicl i stands in greatest need.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Allies Protest Against Huns Carrying
War Materials Over L;mbnrg Line.

Amsterdam, Aug. 2l--E"oaomic
d::1ic titles, the contro irrsy with Ger
r1anv over the sinking OF tie Dutch
steamer Koningin Rcgcntcs, and the
controversy over the German use OF
thc Limburg railway are placing Hol-
land once more on the rink of war.
Germany seems bent on eventually
forcing the nation into the arms of
the Entente so that she can occupy
its eastern frantier and exploit its
commercial advantages.
Hope of reaching an agreement
with Germany over the food situation
and the concessions permitting the
Huns use of the railway through
Dutch Limburg into Belgium had just
begun to mollify the situation when
the sinking Of the Koningin Rcgcntes
created a crisis which has not yet been
weathered.
A misunderstanding has now arisen
between Holland and the Allies, as 10
the use of the LimburG railway, which
puts the little nation between two
fires.
Holland had agreed that Germany
would be permitted to transport moth
ing but nonmiltary goods over the
Limburg railway. Foreign Minister
Loudon understood this to mean that
all goods other than arms, ammuni-
ton, airplanes, military equipment,
etc, could be carried over the road,
and entered into an agreement with
Germany to this effect.
The Allied Governments have now
made representatives to the Dutch
Government protesting against the
transit Of such articles as timber,
ores, barbcd wire, hay AID straw,
which, there is reason to believe, are
intended for military purposes. #
Holland keep her agreement with Ger
many, therefore. she displcascs the
Allies; if she dosn't she displcascs
Germany.
Even if no military supplies were
transported across Dutch Linlburg,
the use of the route for direct com
munication with Antwerp greatly re-
lieves the strain on the German rail
ways farther south, which can be used
for the moving of troops and military
supplies. 1t is clear. Therefore, FIAT,
unwillingly and perhaps rhwittingly,
the Dutch have enabled the Garnans
to win an important victory.
Holland is now almost completely
shut off by sea from the rest Of the
world and relies on Germany for
much of her industrial supplies. ex-
porting vegetables and other food
stuffs in exchange. The economic
agreement under which these exchan-
res were made expired last April and
las not ben renewed, SO the Dutch
nay have to turn to the Allies 10"
supplies through the war zone.
This situation coupled with the crisis
'vcr the torpcdoing Of Dutch ships
md the railway controversy, repre-
cnts powder mine which may at
my time blow IN and force Hoi'1nG
nto the way on the side Of the En-
entc.
