RED CROSS WAR DRIVE TO BE
PUSHED PUBLICLY UNTIL AFTER
LIBERTY BOND CAMPAIGN.


AT THIS time when Red Cross
Chapters are organizing for the Sc.
cond war fund drive, when committees
are being formed and plans laid, when
conferences are being held all over
the division and the Importance of
preparedness is being impressed up
on chapters, great care should be
taken not to encroach in any way on
The time set for the Liberty loan
campaign
The Red Cross war fund drive was
postponed for two weeks, from May
~, in order that the great mass of
publicity necessary to launch it sue
cessfully would not have to be pres
ented to the newspapers at a time
when the Liberty loan rightfully holds
first place in the mind of the public
The Liberty loan now holds the CEN
ter of the stage and everything else
must step aside for it.
1t must do more. The Liberty loan
campaign should be vital issue with
every Red Cross member. He must
talk Liberty loan now just as he must
talk Red Cross later on, and he should
40 everything in his power to assist
the loan committees in their work
/. This does not mean that prepare
tons for the war fund drive must
stop. Because the work must be done
quietly it is all the more necessary
that it be done thoroughly, so that
as soon as the Liberty loan campaign
is successfully completed, the pre-
fected organization for the Red Cross
lrive will be ready to concentrate all
It's resources on the publicity upon
which it depends largly for results
For the next few weeks Red Cross
news except that which is necessary
for the information of chapters or
members, must remain in the back
ground The Liberty bond has prior
rights which must be respected April
belongs to the loan campaign, but
May is Red Cross month Organize
now, and be ready by the first of May
to throw the full strength of your
chapter and all it's branches into the
drive for funds to carry on the work
of humanity in our own country and |
the countries of our allies.

ENLIST NOW YOUR
COUNTRY NEEDS YOU

The Naval Reserve Force is still
open to enlistments. There are many
young men in the state that still be-
lieve that they are not able to enlist

animation and securing statement

he is not in the current quota and is
at liberty to enlist now Army or

Another important advantage d the
looseness is that combined with the
arrangement of the buttons on the
side, the trousers may be easily slip
ped off in the water.
The Is buttons across the top Of
the trousers are said to represent
the 13 original states.
One explanation of the three white
stripes bordering the collar is that
they commemorate three great Eng
lish naval victories: The destruction
of the Spanish Armada in 1888, the
battle of Trafalgar in 1905, in which
the Spaniards again were defeated,
and the battle of the Nile, whre, in
1898, the British and French fleets
came to grips.
The black tie, precribed by regula-
ton for American bluejackets, ap-
parently was handed down from the
British navy. 1t was worn by the

son after the death of the great naval
hero.
The bit of white undershirt show
ing at the neck is associated with a
famous American leader, Admiral
Farragut. After his death the sail in
which his body was lowered to the
water was divided among his sailors,
with the request that the pieces be
worn across their chests. This estab-
lished the custom of wearing white
dicky, which is now replaced by the
portion of the undershirt.
