Dear Billy"
I feel sure that your are taking
extraordinary interest in the cover
subscription" of the Third Liberty
Loan. :.
However, the matter of the sale
of Bonds is so yitally important ito
me and to others in the service,
I'm sure you not object to hearing
a soldiers view of it, which must
be necessarily somewhat different
from that of civilian.
From my knowledge Of affairs
let me tell you plainly, if shortly,
that the Third Liberty loan MUST
be a success. Bonds must be
bought, others must be bought
later, and all for your own, your
families, and your fellow Country
mems ultimate protection.
Being in service with the Medical
Department may | tell you that a
$4,000 Bond will purchase sufficient
bandages for first aid to 500 sold
iers.
1t will supply dressings and
equipment for 200 operation.
1t will save so men from Lock
jaw.
One $4,000 Bond feeds and
clothes a soldier for 8 months.
Three $4,000 Bonds will keep a
soldier in France for one year, and
that where they must be kept
if you don't want the Germans
over here.
The facts I've laid forth are
absolutely true. Some have saved
money for the "proverbial" Rainy
Day." This is the "Rainy day"

aims and purposes than the Red
Cross Society. Millions of dollars
are being given and millions OF
lives are being saved by the
doctors and nurses under the dlrec'
ton of the society. Every mem
bership fee, every stitch in every
garment is an effort in freedoms
name. Just now the battle raging
on the western front is fierce,
critical one. Thousands of men
are being wounded, and at no
time during the great war hast here
been such need of activity by the
Red Cross organizations. A member

contribution may save a soldiers
life or ameliorate suffering.
The local chaper-The Highland
Red Cross-has taken another
important step, one that will bring
comfort to the hearts of the boys
over there and inspire them with
confidence. 1t is the the appoint
ment of a Home Service Committee
-sop ething that all well-organjzed
enthusiastic chapters have, and
which says to the men who have
left Highland for service that this
branch of the Red Cross is con-
! cerned about his family affairs;
that it stands ready--is designed,
in fact-to render any and all
needed assistance, give informa-
ton, advice, helpful service or
money aid if necessary.
This important committee has
been selected with view to meet
ing various possible wants of
families left behind, the sugges-
ton of the parent society being
followed in placing on the com
mittee names of we'll known hui
ness and professional men, all of
| whom will hold themselves in
readiness to give counsel and ser
vice. Any member of a soldier 8
family may feel free to approach
the Chairman of this committee at
any hour and is assured of a
patient, sympathetic, private inter
view.
