GET THE RED CROSS HABIT

The United States has now been at
war for more than year. But up to
the present time the Red Cross has
made but one national appeal for help
its $10O.0OO,000 drive in the summer
Of 1917. Now 1t is about to make an
other appeal-its second And upon
the heels Of the Third Liberty
Loan. For. great as are the re-
sponsibilittes and the opportunities of
the institution whose blazing symbol
Is recognized by civilized nations the
world over az symbol Of peace and
Of comfort, its expenditures are but a
small fraction of those required for
our governmental expense for the con-
duct Of the war;
Organization Of Service.
The Red Cross has never permitted
Itself to encroach upon the functions
or the necessities Of the government,
although there are many times when
1t might justify itself in so doing In
the single important instance Of trans
portation 1t has refused to burden the
army or navy with the carriage Of it's
vast supplies Of stores. even though
these were destined for the relief and
the lives Of the soldiers and the sailors
themselves. On the contrary, after 1t
had huilded and fully equipped great

war department found itself so press

compelled to take the Red Cross plant
for army needs Dawson and his fell
lows Of the Red Cross gladly moved
out and quickly assembled and builded
another dispatching depot for their
own needs. The spirit Of the organi-
zation is that of service. And have
seen enough Of its workings to con-
vince me that it Is something little
more than mere service-pcrhaps serv-
Ice plus efficiency would best describe
It,
1t seems to me that the time has
come when there should be an even
larger national appreciation of the Red
Cross. Today it has only begun to

pie. Continued fighting and extended
casualty lists will force 1t far beneath
the skin. 1t cannot be embarrassed

afford to have 1t embarrassed, to be
compelled to turn any Of its energies
from the saving Of human life to mere
| grubbing for cold cash.

make? He had clicked Il bullet in his

blood and pain and hunger and all, a
chap might as well "go west" without

dressing in place, the bleeding was
