 '"The trustees were led to make this large contribution to the first cam paign because the Red Cross, reorgan- nized on war basis, was only in its infancy; because its subscribing membership was but 26o, 900; and be- cause of the seemingly impossible sum which it was necessary to raise. Ob- viously, the trustees of the foundation are not in a position to renew contri- buttons of this size or anything ap- preaching it, nor is such gift neces- sary even if it were possible, for to- day the Red Cross has record of achievement which is unprecedented; it's membership is 23.00o.ooo and as result of it's wise and efficient man. agement, it has won the complete con- fidence and is entitled to the fullest support of the American people.
 The contribution which the founda- tion has voted to make is considerably in excess of the amount which its re- sources for the current year would justify and is made possible only by a gift from the founder to cover the ex- cess amount. As chairman of the board of trustees of the foundation. take pleasure in reporting to the corpora tion team for inclusion in it's receipts a pledge from the foundation of $3,G90,- 010t

dier knows that the Red Cross is stand ing back of his family; will see that the standard of the home will be kept up and that the children will be sent to school, and if they are sick they will be given medical attention and every aid that can possibly be given will be gladly furnished by the home service section, he can then give his thoughts and attention to winning the war and estab- fishing democracy. So, then this is the message of the home service section of the Red Cross: "Go ahead, soldier; do your best to help whip the Kaiser; don't worry about wife. sister. mother or the see that their allotments and allowances are paid and will do all we can to serve the ones you left behind while you serve us at the front"
 Like the '. M. c. A, the home serv- ice encourages and brightens the sol- diers life.
 If this world does not learn useful ness from this catastrophe of war, every drop of blood and every agony suffered by those who are making the world a better place to live in will have been in vain.
 To give, and to give freely. is the duty of every patriotic American citizen and to support within every means in our power the wonderful work that is being done by the Red Cross.
 How much this work means Is only realized by those giving their service at the front If you but knew what they know; if you but saw the pain and hor- TOT and the suffering, you would fore- : go every pleasure and give-give-give

 The five large hospitals operated by the American Red Cross and the many convalescent homes it is establishing for wounded or sick soldiers, are, like the many institutions for the civilian sick it maintains or aids in Europe, supple mentary to and entirely distinct from the American army and navy fields and base hospitals here and abroad.

WOMEN OF AMERICA

We are thrilled to read of the heroic endurance of the women of England and France, of their sacrifices cheer fully borne and of their untiring labor in every line of work. But it is not alone our sisters across the sea who are inspired by such ardent patriotism, the women of America have linked themselves with this determined effort to win the war, and are working shoul- der to. shoulder with their men in every phase of war work.
 Red Cross activities afford many il- lustrations of this splendid spirit in American women, but none more touch ing than that of Mrs. Anne Galloway. sister of the late Senator Joseph Johnston. This estimable woman, al- though she has passed the three-score- and-ten mark, being now 97 years of age, and handicapped by the physical disability of blindness, is inspired with the desire to have part in this great movement and has been knitting wash cloths for hospital use. There have been many generous gifts turned into the Birmingham chapter of the Red Cross, and innumerable instances of self-sacrificing devoted work, but none of these have meant more or have il- lustrated more touchingly the true spirit of the Red Cross than Mrs. Cal loway's wash cloths.
