Many Troops Will Return Home
During Next Summer.

Eight of the 13 divisions cor-3r'9
ing the American third army, now ap-
preaching the Rhine, either are nation
al guard or national army troops, and
there is every reason to believe that
they will be on American soil again
by midsummer.
General March, chief Of staff, an
nounced the other day he anticipated
no difficulty in getting these units
home within four months after peace
has been established formally by proc
lamation. President Wilson, in his re-
cent address to Congress said the ses-
sions of the conference probably would
be concluded by spring, and based on
his estimate of the time, General
March's statement was accepted to
mean that these forces would return
during the summer.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
ROLL CALL MESSAGE
The White House,
Washington, D. G.
Nov. 26, 1918.
To the. American People:

To the. American People:
One year ago twenty-five million
Americans, enrolling as members of
the Red Cross at Christmas time, sent
to the men who were fighting our
battles overseas stimulating mes
sage of cheer and good will. They
made it clear that our people were Of
their own free choice united with their
government in the determination not
only to wage war with the instru-
ments Of destruction, but also by every
means in their power to repair the
ravages Of the invader and sustain
and renew the spirit of the army and
Of the homes which they represented.
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 cantonments, and we ought
to be very proud that we have been
permitted to be of service to those
whose sufferings and whose glory
| are the heritage Of humanity.
Now, by Gods grace, the Red Cross
Christmas message of 1918 is to be
message of peace as well as mes
sage of good will. But peace does
not mean that we can fold our hands
1t means further sacrifice. Our men,
bership must hold together and be in
creased for the great tasks to come.
We must prove conclusively to an
attentive world that America is per-
smanently aroused to the nea1s Of the
new era, our old Indifference gone for
4 ever.
j The. exact nature of the future
i service of the Red Cross will de-
pend upon the programme of the as
. sociated governments, but there is I'M
, mediate need today for every heart
ening word and for every helpful SER
/, vice. We must not forget that our SOL
, dierS and our sailors are still under
orders and still have duties to perform
of the highest consequence, and that
the Red Cross christmas membership
|. means a great deal to them. The peO-
: pie of the saddened lands, moreover,
r returning home today where there are
3 no homes must have the assurance that
: the hearts Of our people are with
;, them in the dark and doubtful days
!, ahead. !, Let us, so far as we can, help
Il them back to- faith in mercy and IN
e future happiness.
r AS President of the Red Cross, con-
s seious in this great hour of the value
e cf such message from the American
$ people, / should be glad if every Amer
>. ican would join the Red Cross for 1919
e and thus send forth to the whole hu-
[. man family the Christmas greeting
= for which it waits and for which II
$ stands in greatest need.
