 The Red Cross Must Carry On! Behind every battle line of Europe stood that inspiring figure the Red Cross nurse. Hers has been service of complete devotion to humanity. In Flanders field are the graves of five Army nurses who died in the per- ofrmance of their duty. The boche was making an air raid over hospital crowded with wounded and she'll shocked men. One of these called a nurse to his bedside. Very quietly she took his hand, sat down by the side of his cot and began to sing a song to soothe him to sleep. Then out of the air bomb fell. The song ceased. The nurse sleeps forever. The wounded soldier escaped.
 Can you not buy Red Cross mem- bership Christmas week in honor of this nurse? Is such supreme sacri- flee worth one of your dollars?
 Americans are practical idealists- their vision of service is big one. And Americas reputation is that she finishes what she undertakes and the Red Cross, one of the big, fine ex- pressions of the American people, much finish what she has undertaken.

And when the crisis is over the good -neghbor helps the one who needs it to take his place once more in the world around him, and, often without his knowing much about the transaction.

Italy, Ser bia, Armenia, Palestine, Poland and Russia depends on the welfare of the children, the Red Cross has gone into those countries as your messenger to restore these little ones to their child hood. to bring them back to health, happiness and sanity too. One of the glowing chapters in the History of the World War will be that dealing with the work of the American Red Cross in behalf of the children of the Allied Nations. Won't you help write : that history with your dollars?
 America does nothing by halves.
 If Americans talk they also DO.
 The Red Cross Christmas Member ship is not made for money.
 It is rather the unfurling of moral and spiritual banners. The Roll Call gives notice to the world that Ameri- cans will rise to the emergencies of peace as they met the emergencies of war.
 The Roll Call gives notice to the world that for every soldier and Sailor who has offered his life: for every
