The Red Cross Drive F!
Are You Really In 1t,
Heart and Soul !?

the cantccn squad If she would cell up his
mother in Philadelphia and tell her TO go
TO the station It's almost supcrfiuous TO
say that the ranteen worker complied
with request like that, but we will sry
that she did, and add that the next day she
heard that the mother had those few
minutes with her soldier son.
And why were these little incidents
possible?
BECAUSE OF THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS.
Are YOU getting cards and letters of
thanks from over seas and from camps
and cantonments IN our own country, be-
cause you We sent socks and sweaters and
cigarettes, candy. books and other things
TO soldiers and sailors? And are YOU not
enjoying those cards and letters more than
any nlisSlves you ever received beloreF
Well, then, recall that it was the
American Red Cross that made YOU think
of sending these things. that made you
kind and true and helpful. because il
suggested that YOU do these things.
Are YOU working day and night to make
hospital garments and surgical dressings,
and are you knitting and sewing every
possible minute Of time you can put into
these things, Just TO serve your country
in the time of need?
Remember it WAS the Amcncan Red
Cross that started you in this merciful
mission, that taught you how to do these
things, and that gave YOU impetus and
inspiration for your work.
Then let's every one of us burn hole
in our pockets, pinch and save, and do
without the coveted thing to help with
the money the Red Cross needs needs,
not wants One hundred million dollars
is the sum that must be raised by the
greatest allevisting power in the world
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.

that his huge dimensions would be a
great asset to the government in con-
servation of ammunition. He claims
he could just walk out in No Mans

military service claimed he was af-
flicted with growing disease" Per
sons who have seen him agree with
