NOT ABOUT THE WAR

In addition to serving our enlisted forces, it is
assisting in the work of civil relief among our allies
whose soil is being devastated by the fighting.
Thus the Red Cross is helping to interpret the
constructive spirit of our Republic which holds
sacred human life and the ideals it seeks =.
AS time goes on the scope of the work of the
Red Cross in Europe will increase in order that the
organization may meet the demands that will be-
made upon it. 1t must receive the full and hearty
support Of the American people. 1t is only through
such an agency that we can be assured relief and
necessary minstration to our young men forming
our military force.
1t is my sincere desire that adequate funds
will be secured for the work of the Red Cross.
