THE CLIMAX TO VICTORY.

During the week before Christmas
the entire American people will have
the privilege of answering the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call. The re-
Spouse should roar through the land
with a unanimity that will stimulate
to the uttermost the hopes of men in
all parts of The earth. 1t will there
fore be the climax Of American ideal
ism and will usher in Christmas with
a Red Cross membership approximate
ing the census figures. What the Red
Cross wants is the approval Of the
American people of the Red Cross pol
icy, and such approval will have the
highest significance in the eyes of suf-
fering people everywhere. President
Wilson leads the response and passes
along the message, Il summon you to
the comradeship."

So great is the faith of the American
Red Cross in the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red

the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number of people in their jul

tributing Member at $500, Sustaining

INDIGNANT at the Polish Government.

1t is reported from Berlin by
the Associated Press tt at
the socialist and bourgeois news
papers there express Indignation
over the action of the Polish gov
ernment in ordering elections to
the Polish Parlla ment in the dis
~tricts of Allenstein, Posen,
Oppeln. Beuthen, Kattowitz,
Flatow and Danzig. The papers
say that this Implies annexation
of great parts of German eastern
provinces IN defiance of inter
national law and they sccuse the
Poles of nationa]istic o~verzeal
and greed for land. They
declare that the Poles are
attempting to bring about an
accomplished fact before the
peace conference can meet.
The papers condemn the
inactivity of the Berlin govern
ment. They also are indignant
toward the Poles for alleging
that the breach of relations with
Germany was due partly to a
German alliance with the bolshe
wiki They remind the Poles
that German troops in the East
recently have been attacked re
pealediy by the polsbeviki and
that Bo1sheviki ambassador
Joffe has been expelled from
Germany.

WHAT BOYS SAY -
ABOUT RED CROSS

Since the soldiers overseas have
been informed by their officers that
the American Red Cross will play San
ia Claus this Christmas for all the
boys in khaki who have no relatives
in the United States, Red Cross Head
quarters at Washington has been re-
ceiving hundreds of appeals. Incl
dentally the men at the front have
taken this time to express their ap-
probation for the work done by the
Red Cross "Over There"
Following are a few excerpts taken
at random from letters inclosing

done SO much for us over here, and you
don't know just how We appreciate 1t

An Italian thus addresses his Christ
mas appeal:

state that the Red Cross Medical Or

have reached V~ladivostok after weeks
OF the most desperate fighting against
the pro-German forces.
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight

majority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the Bolsheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the

steadfastly refused to recognize the

plight was brought to the attention of

work was directed by Charles X. Mo

Red Cross chapter at Hardin. Ameri-

temporary relief for both soldiers and
