The United States has now been at
war for more than a year. But up to
the present time the Red Cross has
made but one national appeal for help
its $100,O00000 drive in the summer
of 1917. Now it is about to make an
other appeal-its second. And upon
the heels of the Third Liberty
Loan. For, great as are the re-
sponsibilities and the opportunities Of
the institution whose blazing symbol
Is recognized by civilized nations the
world over as symbol of peace and
of comfort, its expenditures are but a
small fraction of those required for
our governmental expense for the con-
duct Of the war.
Organization Of Service.
The Red Cross has never permitted
itself to encroach upon the functions
or the necessities of the government,
although there are many times when
1t might justify itself in so doing. In
the single important instance of trans
portation 1t has refused to burden the
army or navy with the carriage of its
vast supplies of stores, even though
these were destined for the relief and
the lives of the soldiers and the sailors
themselves. On the contrary, after it
had builded and fully equipped great

That is why suggest the Red Cross

1t seems to me that the time has

larger national appreciation of the Red
Cross. Today it has only begun to
touch the surface of the American peo-
pie. Continued fighting and extended
casualty lists will force it far beneath
the skin. 1t cannot be embarrassed
for lack of funds. You and cannot
afford to have it embarrassed, to be

grubbing for cold cash.

Typical Red Cross Case

Cross workers did in two days: They
thoroughly cleaned and transferred to
new buildings outside the city the en-
tire $50 children. Red Cross doctors
attended the sick; nurses were secured
for the babies. Suitable food was pro-

 "A sample of the fashion after which bloated landlords treat the wives of soldiers has been brought to our attention from Upper Langenau in Siiesia. One of the hired men of pr. Mueller's agricultural estate has been for long time at the front. His wife, who had worked alongside her husband before the war after the usual custom, remained in the ranks of the field hands and accordingly re- tanned her farm cottage. October this woman got the fllowiong letter: The undersigned bailfff of the estate hereby gives you notice as Of this date to the field service for Jan | uary l, 1918. On that day you are to glve up your house. The work which you are doing on the farm does moi 1 compensate the farm for the loss
