Dawson, chairman of the American
Red Cross, who has just completed a
five weeks inspection trip of the Red
Cross in England, France and Italy,
has sent the following cablegram call
ing upon Red Cross members
throughout the United States to sup
port the forthcoming United War
Work Campaign.
Having spent nearly five weeks
among our men along the back of the
lines in England, France and Italy, I
have had opportunity to observe the
work of the seven war relief organiZa-
tions. Certainly every chapter of the
American, Red Cross within the United
States and indeed in all other parts OF
the world and all citizens of the Unit
ed States, would contribute to the
work of these organizations If they
could appreciate its importance.
Our nearly two million men are far
from home, in strange lands, and need
as men never needed before. just the
things that these organizations sup
ply. / am. therefore, confident the
entire Red Cross, conscious of its OBJ
legation. will cooperate with enthusi-
asm and zeal In the coming cam
