PROCLAMATION BY
PRESIDENT FOR BIG
RED CROSS DRIVE.

w dSHlHSlOAl, ~. ~, meg u
President Wilson has issued
proclamation designating the
week beginning May 20, as Red
Cross week, and calling upon the
American people to contribute
generously TO the second $780,
600 900 war fund Of the American
Red Cross for the alienation of
suffering among the American
troops in France and their de-
pendents at home and among the
fighting forces and civilian popu-
lations Of the allied countries.
The proclamation follows:
'Inasmuoh as sthe war fund of
1917, so generously contributed by
the American people to the Amer
lean Red Cross for the admins
tration of relief at home and
abroad, has been practically ex-
hausted by appropriations for the
welfare of the men in our 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
the war;
And, inasmuch as the Ameri-
can Red Cross has been recog-
nized by law and international
conventions as the public instru-
mentality for war relief;
"And, inasmuch as the year of
our own participation in the war
has brought unprecedented de-
mands upon the patriotism and
liberality of our people, and made
evident the necessity of concen-
trating the work of relief in one
main organization which can re-
spond effectively and universally
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 Ameri-
can Red Cross with our own
army and navy, with the govern
ments of our allies, and with for
eign relief organizations have re-
suited in the discovery Of new OPP
portunities Of helpfulness under
conditions which translate oppor-
tunity into duty;
And, inasmuch as the Red
Cross war council and it's COM
missioners in>Europe have faith
fully and economically admins
tered the peoples trust:
Now, therefore, by virtue of
my authority as president of the
United States and president of the
American Red Cross, !, Woodrow
Wilson, do hereby proclaim the
week beginning, Nay 20, 1918, as
Red Cross week; during which
the people of the United States
will be called upon again to give
generously to the continuation of
the important work of relieving
distress, restoring the waste of
war, and assisting in maintaining
the morale of our own troops and
the troops and peoples of our al
lies by this manifestation of eff
fort and sacrifice on the part OF
those who, though not privileged
to bear arms, are of one spirit,
purpose and determination with
our warriors.
in witness whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done in the District of Column
bia, this fourth day of May, in
the year of Our Lord, one thous-
and nine hundred and eighteen,
and of the independence of the
United States of America, one hun
dred and forty-second.
