TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:


TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:
One year ago twenty-five
million Americans, by enrolling
as members of the Red Cross at
Christmas time, sent to the men
who were fighting our battles
overseas a stimulating message
of cheer and good will. They
made it clear that our people
were Of their own free choice
united with their government in
the determination not only to
wage war with the instruments
Of destruction, but also by every
means in their power to repair
the ravages of the invader and
sustain and renew the spirit of
the army and of the homes
which they represented. The
friends of the American Red
Cross in Italy, Belgium an d
France have told, and will tell
again, the story of how the Red
Cross workers restored morale in
the hospitals, in the camps and
at the cantonments, and we
ought to be very proud that we
have been permitted to be Of
service to those whose suffer-
ings and whose glory are the
heritage of humanity.
Now, by Gods grace the Red
Cross Christmas message of 1918
is to be a message of good will.
But peace does not mean that we
can fold our hands. 1t means
further sacrifice. Our member
ship must hold together and be
increased for the great task to
come. We must prove con-
clusively to an attentive world
t h at America is permanently
aroused to the needs of the new
era, our old Indifference gone
forever.
The exact nature of the fu-
ture service of the Red Cross
will depend upon the programme
of the associated governments,
but there is immediate need to-
day for every heartening word
and for every helpful service.
We must not forget that our SOL
diers and our sailors are still
under orders and still have duties
to perform of the highest conse-
quence, and that the Red Cross
Christmas membership means a
great deal to them. The peo-
pie of the saddened lands, more
over, returning home today where
there are no homes must have
the assurance that the hearts of
our people are with them in the
dark and doubtful days ahead,
Let us, so far as we can, help
them back to faith in mercy and
in future happiness.
As president of the Red Cross,
conscious in this great hour of
the value Of such a message
from the American people, |
should be glad if every Ameri-
can would join the Red Cross for
1919, and thus send forth to the
whole human family the Christ
mas greetings for which it waits
and for which it stands in great
est need.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.

MEN TOLD TO SEE
RED CROSS FIELD
DIRECTOR FOR AID

No better advice could be given to
soldiers il camp or about to leave
Tor camp this this:
Tell your troubles to the Red
Cross field director"
In every camp and cantonment
there is an official Red Cross rep
i, sentative whose sole business it
is to cater to the needs of enlisted
men. II a soldier is worried about
his family back home this Red Cross
mar Will see that the problem is
solved satisfactorily. If the soldier
or sailor is sick in camp and can
not write to this relatives or family,
the Red Cross man will attend to i
for him. In short, the Red Cross
bureau OF military relief is organ
lied TO help enlisted men in every
way and the Red Cross is eager to
have the men use this service.
The Red Cross field director can
be found at Red Cross headquarters
inside the camp or cantonment. No
matter what the soldier or sailors
problem may be, he will do well to
consult this representative. One
reason the American people recent
ly gave $170,000,0 900 to the Red
Cross was to continue this service
and enlisted men should avail,
themselves of it freely.
The families of soldiers and sail
ors also should appeal TO their 10
cal Red Cross chapters for help in
