CORDIAL ENDORSEMENT
BY THE RED CROSS
OF THE NOBLE PURPOSE THAT CAN Be CARRIED OUT BY THE
SUCCESS OF THE WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

Atlanta, Oct. 28-At the American
Red Cross council meeting held in
Washington, Oct. 25th, the following
official minutes were adopted: "The
war council of the American Red
Cross urges the utmost cooperation
from chapters and members through,
out the country with the United War
Work Campaign during the week of
Nov. l Ito Is, which is to be held in
support of the seven recreational or
ganizations endorsed by the national
government. These organizations arc
OF inestimable Importance and every
American citizen should support their
campaign generously and whole
heartedly. In line with the above ap-
peal, the war council calls the atten-
tion of the Red Cross chapters, work,
ers and members to the statement of
Assistant Secretary of War Keppel,
in which he says, 1T is natural that
the organizations responsible for pro-
viding recreational facilities to troops
merge their campaigns inasmuch as
they are engaged in a common pro-
gram of service. Balancing this unit
ed drive in the fall for these organiza-
tions a Red Cross drive will be had in
the spring. In order to eliminate con-
fusion the war council will not au-
thorize campaign for Red Cross
funds either directly or indirectly
during the United War Work Cam
paign. That campaign is for specific
purposes and is entitled to present its
appeal to the American people and to
have that appeal receive complete and
generous support. The response to the
Red Cross appeal last spring was ap-
proximately one hundred and seventy,
eight million dollars. The demands
on the Red Cross are enormous, much
larger than was anticipated and these
demands are increasing. Nevertheless
there are sufficient funds on hand to
finance all requirements for the i'm
mediate present. While it is impos-
sible to estimate the opportunities
and obligations which will confront
the Red Cross in the new year, it will
be necessary to have a campaign for
funds in the spring. 1t is also felt by
the war council that this appeal be
regarded as essentially for relief and
should be made on distinctive occas-
ions. The Red Cross is chartered by
Congress as national agency for re-
lief and is responsible to the national
government for financial administra-
tion. The membership numbers near
ly thirty million Americans. The war
council feels that the public should be
free to make its response to the Red
Cross appeal directly and exclusively
and not through the war chest or in
combination with other appeals for
funds" Department of Publicity,

state to another.
On the trip to Ocala, via Orlando,
with the trucks taken out of the
freight car with no adjustments
whatever the trucks came along just
as one perfect unit, with not
moments delay, except for gasoline
and oil, and without ever changing
gears, except when starting.

Washington, Oct. 28.-Germany's
rejoinder to President Wilson's last
note was rather unexpected here and
pending receipt of the official text
through the Swiss legation, comment
is withheld. Generally, however, the
note is not regarded as one requiring
an answer. The diplomatic situation
is just where it was when President
Wilson informed the German govern
ment that it's request for an armistice
and peace had been Transmitted to the
allied governments. The next step
expected was the submission of terms
of armistice to Germany.
