YOUR RED CROSS.
An Army .Nithont a Gun e.
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the VfolIantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service Of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days. the Red Cross surpasses it immeasurably not
only in the range and variety Of its effort, but in
efficiency and effectiveness.
: The Red Cross is. we may say, the arms Of the
mothers Of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army uithout a gnm that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner Of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys 60
forth to war with spirit of hopefuness because we
know that this great agency Of humanity presses
close behind them; that it's work is not incidental
but the intelligent directed effort Of one Of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to it's
funds, s,-again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again andyet again! For this is war for
the defense of civilization, and we of great, free,
splendid, glorious America have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross selldly supporting our soldiers. ~

Plans Will Be Made

Postmaster August Huckestein, who
acted as chairman of the committee of
100 in the last Red Cross drive, has
called another meeting of that organ
ization for tomorrow night at the Com
mercial club auditorium at 8 o 'cloek,

arily, the needs of soldiers families.

near future to provide a steady me,ns

meeting tnIBGrrow.
Mr.. Huekestein stated today that the
local Red Cross had spent over $25 900
IN. the pas' few months, and at the
present rate, the funds of the organ
ization will be exhausted in six weeks
at the latest. The Red Cross has no
means of income except from member.
ships and this is proving insufficient
for the needs. A steady income that
may be depended on will be required if
the work is to continue.
The larger part of the amount spent
by the local Red Cross has gone to
making supplies for the allies. With
the United States actively engaged on
the western front, the work of the
various auxiliaries must be increased,
and more money is needed. Mr.. Huck-
estein is asking members of the com
mittee of 100 to be present at the meet
ing tomorrow.

New Attack Opened
Upon Chicago Packers

Chicago, Feb. 25.- Reading letters
from Swift and company to show that
packers had prior knowledge of price
fixing by the food administration,
Francis J. Heney today opened new
attack here on the alleged packing
combine. Heney presented his evil
dence, taking from the Swift stock
yards office, before Commissioner
James II. Edwards.
"The letters deal also with the
packers activities in connection with
government contracts and with at
tempts to influence various bureaus
and departments, D. said Heney.
That Swift and company's public at
titude in May, 1917, favoring govern
ment price control was gallery play"
and "the only proper thing to do,"
was the declaration of Louis F. Swift
in a letter to his brother, Charles H.
who was in Washington at that time.
Heney charged that packers had been
products to their own de-
partments in violation of the food ad-
. regulations.
