Z:DCR0SS DOES
NOT PARTICIPATE

The Barnes County Chapter, A. R.
c. received the following message
from Norther Division Headquarters
A. R. C. They desire that it be given
he utmost publicity.
"The Red Cross, while urging the
most cordial support and cooperation
on the part Of all it's members, does
not participate in the United War
Fund campaign next week. 1t is quite
evident that there has been q misun-
derstanding in many nlaces on this
point. The Red Cross is amply equip
ped with funds with which to take
care of the needs until the late spring
of next year, at which time a cam
paign for funds for it's relief work
may be necessary.
It is but fair to the orGanizat ;ons
in the United War Fund that the pub
lie should understand that contribu-
tons next week are exclusively for
their work. 1t is also but fair to the
public that the people should know
that provision for the peeds of the
Red Cross during the coming year is
not taken care Of during this cam
paign. The Red Cross does not au-
thorize anyone to carry on next week
a campaign for funds in it's name for
it's work, but it does urge the utmost
possible generosity toward the United
War Work campaign for the sever
recreational organizations whose bud
gets have been approved by the ra-
t;onal government"

MANY mem ARE
STILL NEEDED

November 8, 1918.
The constantly changing status of
men approved for Y. NJ C. A. work
overseas makes it impossible for our
list Of names to be absolutely correct
on any given date. Therefore, when
letters are addressed to the entire
list, we know that the letter will reach
some men to whom it does not at that
moment apply.
Dear Sir: This message is to as
sure you that the changing military
conditions overseas promises a larger
and even more important work for the
Y. M. c.. A. We are in receipt of a
most urgent cable to send at least
5000 men as soon as possible. The
situation in France is critical for lack
of men. Don't let anyone persuade
you that the need for men is one whit
less than when all military fronts
we're active. We are doing every
thing possible to secure your passport
and will Immediately notify you when
it is received. (Some men will get
their "call" before they have received
this letter. Meanwhile, remain at
your accustomed duties, and in addi-
ton, do whatever you can to prepare
yourself for the big service ahead.
Sincerely yours,
WAR personnel BOARD.
P. S.-Will you search out another
man of outstandinf qualifications
health, ability, personality, proven
christian characteristic might be Sc
cured for service in France until the
boys come home. Send US his name.

The cessation of hostihties is going
to make great change in this land
of ours and much hard work in recon-
struction is in sight for the admins
tration. 1t is going to take long
time to get things back to normal
condition. The government is up
against the task Of getting back home
over two million men who are in for
elgn lands. 1t is estimated it will
take fifteen months at least to bring
these back. In the meantime many
men VII probably be sent overseas to
DO police duty in these war ridden
countries until matters are adjusted
and the European countries have got
back to normal conditions. Admins
traitor Hoover says we have got to
make many sacrifices yet in the way
of conservation in order to save the
starving millions of these foreign
lands. It seems to be the duty of
America to iced most of the world.
Much shipping that has been used for
transportation of munitions and war
material will be released and can be
used for merchandise traffic which
should have a big effect soon in re-
lieving the stringency along merchan-
disc lines. The government is al.
ready cutting out many ship contracts
overtime and Sunday work is cut out
and in these lines many men will be
released that can go into other chan
nels of trade. Railroads will be re
leased from shipping munitions ane
war building materials and this agar
should make a big improvement il
freighting soon. The great thing tx
do now is to have the peace conference
over and all the terms adjusted an(
signed, then the work Of reconstruc
ton can begin in earnest.
