Acting on the direct request from
President Wilson, all of the auxiliaries

the welfare OF the American heroes
who have left their homes and so gal.

our battles in desolated France and
Belgium, that our land of America
shall be forever free from an invasion

This campaign, which will begin

Loan was finished. Because of the
repeated calls that would have been
made had not these war activities

the plan adopted.
There will be no O,ner call on the
generosity of the people unless il be
an appeal from the Red Cross. the
only organization devoting itself to
war relief activities not embraced in
the approaching campaign
The organization which it is now
the privilege Of the citizens of Mis-

Mems Christian Association, the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, the Knights of Columbus. the
Jewish Welfare Board, the War
Camp Community Service, the Saliva

Association. Thus it will be seen
that the loyal Protestant. Catholic,

come back safely to you When victory
is finally won and right and justice
is again triumphant.
The purchase of bonds was a bust
ness transaction. Now you have the
privilege of giving, and the loyal and
patriotic citizen will consider it
privilege. The boy on the sea, in
the air, or in the trenches, is facing
the foe not for the paltry $50 per
month he receives. but because he is
a patriot. He is fighting your battles,
is offering his body to be wounded and
manned, is risking his life itself every
dey, that America shall ever be free.
He is giving his all. Can there be
found a man in all Missouri so UNI
grateful and so lacking I'm patriotism
that he will not give from his plenty
that the bodily and spiritual welfare
of the flower of Aemrican manhood
shall not have every care that gen.
erous public can bestow?
