 "The Latin Protective League No. of Clifton has requested me to state to you as chairman of the American Red Cross, in charge of its affairs here, that every one of us, man, wo- man. and child, is affected by the great war which reaches across the sea and is taking our boys, money and ma terials. And as we are now fighting for our own right and safety as well as for the rights of mankind, and the peace of the world, we desire to do all we can in the struggle in which our country is taking so important a part.
 There are few around us who are not anti-Americans, but are negligent Americans. They have not rendered any service to the American Red Cross, but have scoffed at our en. deavor. and considered the festivfty given by the Latin Protective League as great joke.
 'The function given by the Latin Protective League of Clifton in the Princess theatre on the evening of the 23rd of February, for the ex. elusive benefit of the American Red Cross was complete success, which filled the hearts of the members of this organization to their entire satis- faction. We wish to thank both the American and Spano-Americans for their generosity shown on that oc. casion..
 The Princess theatre on that night was beautifully decorated with bunt- ing and roses, all the stands were attended by black-eyed Senoritas and matrons attired in smart Red Cross costumes. The active and vivacious Senoritas moved around the hall and among all the male attendants, soiici- ting buyers for their wares, all at nominal prices. The tamales and en- chiladas were most excellent and served with neatness and prompt titude by Red Cross ladies.

 We do not look upon this work as duty or an obligation, though of course it was, and very sacred one; but our feeling towards it, that it is a privilege, that as long as the mem- bers of this league work and make what sacrifices they can, we can hold up our heads and look the world in the face. satisfied that we have done our "bit' now that America is fight ing for a righteous peace.
