Proclamation of Red
Cross Week

Inasmuch as the war fund OF 1917. SO
generously contributed by the American
people to the American Red Cross for the
administration of relief at home and
abroad, has been practically exhausted by
appropriations for the welfare OF the men
in oar military and naval forces, and for
those dependent upon them, and for the
yet more urgent necessities OF our allies,
military and civilian. who have long borne
the brunt of war;
And inasmuch as the American Red
Cross has been recognized by law and in
ternational convention as the public in
strumentaiity for war relief;
And inasmuch as tine year OF our own
participation in the war has brought an
precedented demands upon the patriotism
and Iiberarity of our people and made evi.
dent the necessity of concentrating the
work of relief in one main organization
which can respond effectively and univer-
sally to the needs Of humanity under stress
OF war;
And inasmuch as the duration of the
war and the closer and closer cooperation
of the American Red Gross with our own
army and navy with the governments of
our allies. and with foreign reIieI organi-
zations, have resulted in the discovery of
new opportunities of heIpfuness under
conditions which translate opportunity
into duty;
And inasmuch as the American Red
Cross war council and its commissioners
in Europe have faithfully and economically
administered the peoples trust;
Now. therefore, by virtue of my au-
thority as President of the United States
and President of the Red Cross. I. Wood
row Wilson, do hereby proclaim the week
beginning May 20, 1918. as Red Cross
Week. during which the people of the

flee on the part of those, who, though not
privileged to bear arms. are of one spirit
