Red Cross Seals Aid
Christmas Roll. Call

Adoption of the national plan by
which Red Cross Christmas Seals
will be given this year as premiums
with Red Cross memberships instead
Of being placed on sale in separate
campaign is striking evidence OF the
spirit of cooperation which has been
so large a factor in the winning OF
the war. It will be the first time
since the organization of the Wis
consin Anri-Tuberculosis Association
ten years ago tina there has been no
Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale IN
Wisconsin. This year the state
association puts aside its annual cam,
paign to assist in making monster
success of the combined campaign
to be conducted just before the
holiday season by the American Red
Cross and the National Tuberculosis
Association, and be known as the
Christmas Roll call.
This union Of forces for the 1918
campaign does not mean the per
manent abandonment of the annual
Christmas Seal Sale by which up to
the present time the educational
campaign against tuberculosis IN
Wisconsin has been financed. 1t is a
win the-war measure adopted tor
the period of the war only and
animated by the loyal desire of the
two national organizations and their
local branches to centralize effort,
to economic the time of workers,
and to minimize as far as possible
the number of financial demands
made on the public.
The cooperativ Christmas Cam
paign is official recognition OF the
anti-tuberculosis campaign as war
work which must of necessity have
been undertaken by the Red Cross
were it not for the fact that it is
already being done by the establish
ed anti tuberculosis associations.
Under the agreement by which the
anti tuberculosis agencies combine
their Christmas campaign with the
Christmas Roll Call Of the Red Cross,
the Red Cross has assumed the re-
sponsibility of financing the anti
tuberculosis work for the coming
year and has appropriated 81, 100000
for this purpose. This appropriation
will be made directly to the National
tuberculosis Association.
Each state association receives its
apportionment from the national
association, being guaranteed a sum
equal to the gross seal sale of last
year.

s. AT. C.. Demo
bilizes This Week

The River Falls Normal unit of
the S. A. T. G. is demobilizing this
week in accordance with orders re-
ceived from the War Department.
This is general order which affects
all the S. A. T. G.. units. 1t is per-
haps to be regretted that the exper-
iment of military training in col
leges should not be given a years
trial. 1t is now proposed to offer in
colleges a modified form of this plan
known as the Reserve Officers
Training Corps. The local school
has applied for such military train
ing, and will no doubt be given an
opportunity to carry on such work
for the War Department, inasmuch
as the barracks for the school have
been practically completed. The
men in the r. O. T. C. are not mem
bers of the regular army. but are
members Of the reserve corps.
Most of the boys who have been
in the S. A. T. C. will remain in
school, taking up the regular
courses. A large number of them
have signifed their intention of en-
tering the agriculture course. 1t is
expected that the regular depart
mants Of the school will reopen
with full enrollments following the
holidays.
