RED CROSS NOTES.

Secretary Baker issued the follow
ing message last night in behalf OF
the American Red Cross war fund
campaign:
Every battlefield Of France speaks
eloquent testimony of the merciful
work Of the Red Cross. If the voice
Of the American expeditionary force
could be heard there would be no
doubt concerning the response OF the
/ United States to the second war fund
campaign. The terrors of battles are
decreased and the horrors it entails
are minimized by this greatest of re-
! lief agencies. No support which the
American people give to 1t Will be
misconceived nor misdirected."
Harvey D. Gibson. general manager
of the American Red Cross. has an
nounced that on advice from the
Postmaster General it is impractical
to accept war savings certificates or
thrift stamps as contributions in the
present drive. 1t was at one time be-
lieved that the certificates and stamps
might be used for this purpose The
ruling, however, does not apply to
liberty bonds, which will be gladly
accepted" Mr.. Gibson says.
