STRICKEN EUROPE
NEEDS OUR HELP
American Red Cross Answering
Appeal on Wonderful Scale
Finest Peace Work
in History.
Now Red Cross Asks You and
Me to Do Our Part for
Those "0ver There
So We Must Join.

In war-torn Europe today there are
millions Of mothers and babies at the
point of death from actual starvation.
Winter is at hand Yet they are rag
ged and homeless. They are diseased
tuberculosis, dysentery, skin anec-
tons, fevers are rayaging them. They
are widowed and orphaned and broken
with grief.
In order to protect America and save
the liberties for which the allies nave
been battling three years, our own
lads are over there now. fighting and
dying so that you and and our wives
and our daughters and babies may not
suffer unspeakable cruelties at the
hands of enemy snvages.
Now then: The people OF America
through their Red Cross, have under
taken to right the hideous wrongs the
Teutons have done to noncombatants
in Europe, so far rs It is possible to do
so. 1t means building thousands OF
homes, providing food, clothing and
care for millions, conducting hundreds
Of hospitals on large scale and thou
sands of medical dispensaries. 1t Is
the biggest peace job the world has
ever seen.
But that isn't all-not by long shot
The American Red Cross has colos-
sal war labor TO perform. 1t must es-
tablish and operate hundreds of large
military hospitals of various kinds for
our own armies and those of our al
lies. 1t must provide necessities and
comforts for the fighting men and for
the noble women who are nursing the
wounded. In short, IT must do every
thing possible TO take some OF the
curse out Of war.
This work is already well under
way. Our Red Cross is helping AL
the stricken people on q great scale.
our Red Cross must not fan down
on the Job You and ! are RESPONSE
bic for the success Of the enterprise,
OF course we can't 90 over there, and
actually build houses and feed
the hungry and clothe the naked and
nurse the sick. But we can back up
the great machine already in the field
and at work.
What can we do--you and /?
Well first OF all we must be mem
bers OF the Red Cross. At this writ
ing the organization needs millions
more OF us on its muster rolls. We
compose the army at home support
ing the army in the field-both peace
full armies At home here we form
chapters and circles that furnish cloth
ing and hospital supplies for soldiers
and civilians In Europe. We must
provide funds. We must show direct,
intimate, personal interest in what the
Red Cross field organization is doing.
We must knit and sew and save and
give.
Right now the Red Cross Is cam
paigning for 100000 members. Fiji
teen million members by Christ
mas Eve is the slogan. One years
membership costs one dollar. BY pay
ing an additional dollar the member
gets the Red Cross Magazine for a
year.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to be wearing a Red
Cross pin on Christmas Day Every
father should make each Of his chill
dren a Christmas gift of Red Cross
membership - and explain to the
youngsters the meaning of the present.

WHAT THE PUBLISHER GIVES.

What does the publisher offer free
besides his definite services on specified
lines of thought? He gives America
free such an education as it never
could have gained in any other way.
God knows America needs education
these days. Without our newspapers
and national periodicals we shall be yet
longer only an aggregation of racial
groups and not indeed nation. The
welding of America, the unification of
America, the exaltation of America in
any noble and lofty purpose that
comes about not through any edict in
Washington, but through the unpaid
pages of the periodicals of America.
No industry in the world has done so
much as they have done No industry
in America so much deserves the thanks
Of this country and the support of this
country and the understanding of this
country. Emerson Hough in Leslie's.

WILL III: help
The RED CROSS?
Organization Right Now Keeping
Millions Of Destitute Men,
Women and Children
Alive in Europe.
All Americans at Home Must
Back Up This Great Work
EffeCtually-Ioin the Red
Cross Today,

The American Red Cross has on its
hands one of the worlds greatest and
grimmest jobs In order 10 do the
work, the organization must have at
once fifteen million members. 1t now
has five million on the rolls and is
campaigning to secure the ten million
additional members by Christmas eve.
Every man, woman and child In this
community ought to belong to the Red
Cross. Being member doesn't mean
that one is expected to go to Europe
carry wounded soldiers off the battle
fields and nurse them in the hospitals.
Ii doesn't mean that one need go TO
the devastated areas of France or Bel
GUM, or Poland, or Serbia, and give
personal care TO the starving, freezing,
naked, homeless women and children
there.
But it does mean that those of us
who stay comfortably at home will do
as much as we can In every way TO
back up the organization already at
work over there"
II does mean that the men among
ms will contribute our bit to help our
brothers fighting the cause Of liberty
ia Europe.
1t does mean that the mothers
among us will knit and sew for the
wretched mothers of Europe and their
pitiful babies
1t does mean that our young women
viii show practical sympathy for the
young women along the western
front and in Serbia who have suffered
unspeakable cruelties at the hands of
bestial enemy soldiers
It does mean that our children be
made to understand the curse upon
the children of Europe, and be taught
to make some sort of sacrifice for the
cause of humanity
1t does mean that each Of us win do
what he can individually to supply
plenty Of comforts for our soldiers
fighting the enemy and necessities for
Che wounded in hospitals.
Stricken Europe is crying to heaven
for relief, and Providence is answering
that prayer through the instrumental
lily of the American Red Cross.
Now if it had unlimited funds but
only comparatively few members. the
Red Cross would be unable to do the
work before it. The first great need
is for millions of members-the sup
port of the folks "back home"
Do you know why our lads in the
army and navy are acquitting them
selves so creditably-why they are
amazing the allies by their bravery, in
telligence and enthusiasm? 1t is be-
cause those lads are thinking always
of their mothers and dads and sisters
and sweethearts and kid brothers.
The same thing goes for the Red
Cross When all the dads and moth
ers and sisters and sweethearts and
kid brothers in America show their in
terest and sympathy for Red Cross
work. as members of the Red Cross
and as working members. why the Red
Cross will cover itself with glory for
ever more.
A years membership in the Red
Cross costs just one dollar. If one
wishes to read the Red Cross Maya
zine for year he pays another dol
