YOUR RED CROSS
An Army WithOMf a Gun
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the VlaIIantea

The Red Cross is the greatest instrument Of
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service Of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days, the Red Cross surpasSeS it immeaSurably not
only in the range and variety of its effort, but in
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is, we may say, the arms of the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them The Red
Cross is an army SOithOGt gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache Where the
flag Of the stars goes there the banner Of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys 20
forth to war with spirit Of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency of humanity presses
close behind them that its work is not incidental,
but the intelligent directed effort of one of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds, again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again For this is war for
the defense of civilization, and we of great free,
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.
