PRESIDENT URGES
ALL JOIN RED CROSS
PROCLAMATION ASKS ALL AMER
icANS TO ENROLL DURING
CHRISTMAS WEEK.
IMMEDIATE NEEDS UNBOUNDED
Must Not Forget That Our Soldiers
and Sailors Are Still Under Or
ders-Peopes Of Saddened
Lands Must Have Aid.

Washington, d. president Will
son calls on every American to join
the American Red Cross during Christ
mas roll call week. December 16 to
23. His proclamation. prepared be-
fore the president departed for Eu-
rope, follows:
To the American People:
One year ago, 22.O0OOOO Americans,
by enrolling as members of the Red
Cross at Christmas time, sent to the
men who we're 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 gov
eminent in the determination 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 homes
which they represented The friends
of the American Red Cross in Italy,
Belgium 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 can
comments, and we ought to be very
proud that we have been permitted to
be of service to those whose suffering
and whose glory are the heritage of
humanity.
Now, by Gods grace, the Red Cross
Christmas message of 1918 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. We must
prove conclusively to an attentive
world that America is permanently
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 up
on the program of the associated gov
ernments, but there is immediate need
today for every heartening word and
for every helpful service. We must
not forget that our soldiers and our
sailors are still under orders and still
have duties of the highest consequence
and that the Red Cross Christian mem
bership means a great deal to them.
The people of the saddened lands,
moreover, returning home today where
there are no homes, must have the as
surance that the hearts of our peopIe
are with them in the dark and doubt
full days ahead. Let us, so far as we
can, help them back to faith in mercy
and in future happiness.
AS president of the Red Cross, con
scious in this great hour of the value
of such a message from the American
people, | should be glad if every Am
erican 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 which il
stands in greatest need.

WILL BE HOME
BY NEXT SUMMER
NATIONAL GUARD AND NATIONAL
ARMY BACK IN FOUR MONTHS
AFTER PEACE DECLARED.
GENERAL MARCH TELLS US
Pershinq Names Units-Total Of 5325
Officers and 125,515 Men Listed to
Return to America Soon-Our
Men 20 Miles From Rhine.

Washington.-Eight of the 10 diyi-
sions comprising the American third
army, now approaching the Rhine,
either are national guard or national
army troops, and there is every reason
to believe that they will be on Ameri-
can soil again by midsummer.
General March, chief of staff an
nounced today that he anticipated no
difficulty in getting these units home
within four months after peace has
been established formally by procla-
nation. President Wilson, in his re-
cent address to congress, said the sts-
sions of the conference probably
would be concluded by spring, and
based on this estimate of the time.
General March's statement was &C
copied to mean that these forces
would return during the summer
Four Divisions in Germany.
wo national guard divisions, the
32d and AID, and two of the national
army. the seth and 90th. now are in
the front line of Major General Dick
mans army of occupation, which was
within 20 miles of the Rhine Sunday
according to General Pershings re-
port.
The 2Sth and 33d national guard and
the 18th national army are in the sec
ond line, constituting the reserve
which is occupying Luxembourg and
rail centers in France, including
Montmedy, Longuyon, Etain and st.
Mihiel The first, third, fourth and
fifth regiments comprise the remain
der of the advancing army, while the
second and seventh divisions are with
the reserve.
The estimate as to the possibility
that all except regular divisions will
have been withdrawn from France by
midsummer is based on General
Marhc's reply to a question as to steps
necessary to obtain an extension OF
the enlistment period for men in the
army of occupation.
General Cites Law.
THE law about the men who were
raised in the national army is that
they must be discharged four months
after the declaration OF peace he
said. THAT, l think, also was ex
tended to include men who made vol
untary enlistments in the regular
army. | will not have any difficulty
in bringing back from France the so
called national army divisions in foui
months after the declaration of peace
1t is entirely possible that we viii
have to ask congress for some modifi
cation of the la VITO provide a longe
period for the units which will re
main in Europe"
A total of 1925 officers and 1855
men, General March said, have beer
specifically assigned for early return
by General Pershing. Included in tn,
additional units reported today ar
1926 officers and 29,3S1 men, the lare
est organizations mentioned being tn
field artillery brigades of the eight
(regular) and 92d Irrational army ne
gro) divisions and the 345th and 346tl
infantry regiments from the S7th Una
tional army division. The remair
der of the list consists largely of me
tor repair units and auxiliary div
sional troops.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Reconstruction and unemployment
problems continue to engage the at
tention of business leaders and eco
nomists Markets generally are, of
course, in an unsettled condition, but
there have been no important declines
as yet except in a few items most
directly affected by peace conditions.
and on the other hand, certain mer-
chandise has actually advanced under
the culminative influences of past and
present costs and conditions. OF
course it is inevitable that both prices
and wages must come down, but the
best thought of the nation is working,
with optimism and confidence, to bring
this about gradually, and the world
foodstuffs situation helps to impart
present stability.
Building operations and the lumber
business are showing marked improve
ment, generally and locally. A large
fall wheat acreage has been planted
in this section and growing conditions
thus far have been very favorable.
Provisions.
Butter-Creamery is unchanged at
so cents. Carton butter is permitted
again in Pacific Northwest states at
not more than 1 cent above prints.
Butterfat is up 1 cent to Ga cents,
which indicates that butter market is
strong and due to advance. Coast
markets are up cents. Storage but
ter unchanged at 5O@55 cents.
Quotations practically I'M
changed at 5000 cents, but market
is, of course, gradually moving up from
I Low 1nxyn1c on anGf nlrrC hQ CiC
Young Americas are practically off
the market.
Practically no fresh local
ranch eggs are coming in and at the
present level few are selling anyway.
SO quotations are largely nominal at
$21@22, with sales reported above
those figures. Storage quotations now
range from $14@16. Storage holdings
are smaller than last year and being
depleted fast.
Poultry-Chickens were cleaned up
pretty well Thanksgiving, necessitat-
ing a 1-cent advance on hens to stock
up the market again. Other poultry
unchanged.
Fresh Meats-Both live stock and
dressed quotations are unchanged
from a week ago. Receipts at the
union stockyards for the week ended
December 4 were 1913 cattle, 122
calves, 1901 hogs and 81 sheep. The
administration removed the permit
system on hog shipments December T.
Lard and Cured Meats-There are
further slight advances this week in
hams and bacon. Lard is unchanged
Hides and Wopl-Wool is off 10
about 25@35 cents and full wool pelts
to 5000 cents, under announcement
of further heavy releases to civilian
trade after January l. No changes in
hides.
