was held criminally liable for those
actions.

MAKE IT A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
PRESIDENT ASKS BIG RESPONSE TO RED CROSS CALL

In view of the fact that Wahpeton
will have a Red Cross drive next week
we quote from the Presidents mes
sage in regard to the need Of the con-
tinuance Of this good work.
TO the American People,
One year ago $4,000 600 Americans,
by enrolling as members of the Red
Cross at Christmas time, sent to the
men who are fighting our battles over
seas, a stimulating message Of cheer
and good Will. They made it clear
That our people We're of their own
free choice united with their govern
rnent in the determination not only to
wage war with the instruments OF
destruction, but also by every means
in their power to repay the ravages OF
the invader and sustain and rene"
the spirit Of the army and of,the home
which they represented.

MORALE IS RECALLED

"The friends of the American Red
Cross. in Italy. Belgium and France
have told, and will tell again, the
story of how the Red Cross workers
restored morale in the hospitals, in
the camps, and at the cantonnents,
and we ought to be very proud that
we have been permitted to be Of SER
vice to those whose suherings and
whose glory are the heritage of hu-
manity.
"Now, by Gods grace. the Red
Cross Christmas message of 1918 is to
be message of peace as we'll as a
message of good will. But peace does
not mean that we can fold our hands.
