THE GREAT RED CROSS MAR
 DRIVE .

On Monday the goth of May, will begin the great Red Cross War Dr.vs for the purpose of raising one hundred millions of dollars and th: whole Nation is going to be stirred to it's utmost depths and the patriotic peopel will no doubt re- $ ond as never before, for now we nave our own brave boys in the trenches fighting for the War sGaiust War and the cause has. be- come personal in millions of homes. The specific purpose of this Drive is to raise $100,OOO,0O0.O0 to be uspi 10 recruit and train 5000 nurses and furnish millions more of dressings, bandages and hospital sup lies and the innumerable other tr.isgs that come under the Red Cross objects.
 Innumerable tales have been cir culated' about the Red Cross. Some are due to idle gossip; others are believed to have originated in ma iicious propaganda. What more vile slander than a deliberate at- tempt to injure the worlds great est work of mercy?.
 Suffice it to say that all the stor- 'es about the sale of goods by the Red Cross, about poison in sweaters $n1 similar stories when traced down have been found to be base less riImors.
 The eyes of all Americans are now turned to the soldiers who are lover there" bleeding and dying; and to our soldiers in the cantonments who will soon go to :oin other Americans on the fight ing line.
 When the Liberty Loan campaign was at its height We all said that arguments about the war should cease: that all other questions were incidental to this: Help the boys at the front!
 So just as in the Liberty. Loan campaign We have now the same rIason for giving as we had for lending-we must help, help to our utmost, the boys at the front.
 The bullets and guns bought w''r. Liberty Bond money are our forced tribute to the god of war. The bandages and anesthetics Dough. with our Red Cross contri- buttons are the free-will offering OF our love.
 Mrs. W. c. Blanchard, chairman of the local Red Cross branch has appointed Mayor Howard Ashley chairman of the committee who will have charge of the Drive in Skag- way and on Monday next the ac- tual work of raising Skagway's quota will commence and il should meet with the most enthusiastic support that has even been given thcss movements in Skagway and "A: will be saying much for Skag- way has never refused to give with oren heart and hand for this cause and now that we have our own boys in the trenches there is no doubt but that we will more than subscribe the amount apportioned to Us.
