now is just the enthusiastic support
of the people. Let every citizen
speak out what is in his heart, and
by such expression create a great
common spirit of public pride in
honor of our dead, and in hope for
our future as city.

take the trouble to express it's in
terest, all the rest will take care of
itself.
"But let US think now, let us feel

It is not what we do tomorrow that
counts, but what we are willing to do
today, while the spirit of our service
and sacrifice is upon our hearts,
moving us to deeds of aspiration.

which may contribute to the health
and happiness of men, women and
children. Such plans, when developed
will, it is believed, provide both for
world relief and for home community
service, and thus constitute a chan
mel for the continued and useful ex-
preston by Red Cross workers and
members of those qualities of SYM
pathy and love which our whole
people have poured out so unstintedly
during the war.
For the completion Of its War
work and for the institution of its
peace program, the Red Cross is,
fortunately, in healthy financial
condition. Abundant occasion for
the use of large funds of money and
great quantities of garments and
other supplies will continue to arise,
but it is believed that there will be
no further need for intensive cam
paigns for funds. The work of sup
plementing governmental activities,
which the Red Cross will be called up
on to do in all parts of the world.
will be upon great scale, but it will
call for human service rather than
for large expenditures.
"What the American Red Cross
needs now is not so much contri-
buttons of money as the continued
devotion and loyalty of its members.
This is peculiarly true at this moment
of transition from war to peace.
Annual membership involves the
payment of only one dollar. The
moneys thus received not only defray
all the administrative expenses of the
organization, but leave substantial
balance, which, together with all
funds subscribed directly for relief,
are devoted solely to that purpose.
'The roll call of the nations is thus
to be called at Christmas time, that
through enrolment in their Red
Cross, the American people may send
message to our soldiers still over
seas and to the peoples of the world
that we are not merely content with
seeing our arms united with our Allies
in victory, but that our abiding pur-
pose is that the love, the sympathy
and the intelligence of all America
shall be re-dedicated to the perm
anent service Of mankind"

OUR WAR MEMORIAL

constitute st. Paurs tribute to the
memory of our dead in freedoms
sacrifice. 1t should therefore typify
in some large and changeless manner
the spirit in which these men served
and died, and the civic impulse which
prompted their sacrifice. This means
that the memorial shall not be a
| fiashy and sensational thing of tenn
porary grandeur, symbolizing a mil
itary victory, or expressing boastful
pride in the power of arms, but
rather that it shall assume such
form as shall speak of the spiritual
dedication of America to the great
purposes of human progress and hap
| piness In other words it must not
be temporary in its meaning, but per-
manent, so that in another century
it shall breathe the aspirations of
American idealism.
"But it is more than a memorial
to our dead; it is likewise memorial
of education upon the part of the
living to the cause of humanity for
which the dead have served and
suffered. Therefore it should typify
the daily struggle of men towards the
projections which form the inspira-
ton of our citizenship.
Because this memorial is to ex-
press the Spirit of st. Paul, it must
be fashioned through the earnest,
careful processes of civic magma
ton. To this end the view of every
citizen and organization must be Sc
cured, that the memorial shall flower
up as it were from the affection and
hope of all, the people.
"But today is the time, now is the
happy moment for sowing the seed.
Tomorrow, when we have turned
from the thought of war to new prob
lens of peace, the enthusiasm may
be deadened, and the first splendid
impulse of doing may be slackened.
cit is my hope that within the
next month this project may have
received such form and shape from
the public spirit of our people that
we may proceed with all the pre-
liminary details for its completion.
| "There is no citizen who will not
want to be part of this great task.
Every child will want to know that
he helped to make it. Every citizen
will wish to see his own effort in
corporated in the final achievement.
System and management are es-
sential in such matter, but for the
time being what we want is the eager
and earnest impulse of civic pride
We will not ask what the cost is to
be. Whatever is needed we can
give and we will give. And what
better time to think of this than in
this Christmas season when we face
the truth that in giving alone is the
chief joy and power of human life

The following written by Mayor
L. G. Hodgson of st. Paul as an ed
itoriaf in one of the st. Paul papers
applies to Ely as well as to other
places at present working on just
such a proposition. Substitute Ely
for st. Paul in reading the article.
Mayor Hodgson says:
'That st. Paul will with deep graf
itude and earnest enthusiasm pay
tribute to the soldier boys who have
given their lives to the cause Of hu-
mainly in this great war goes with
out saying.
'"The movement for great public
memorial has already been started.
Necessarily this project thus far is
largely tentative. 1t will be many
months before the final arrangements
are completed which will realize the
outward expression of the sentiment
and love of our people.
''It is perfectly proper that SO vast
an undertaking should have the adj
vantage of time and matured thought
in it's working out. When we seek
to do the thing which shall constitute
the abiding symbol of our civic
pride, we cannot move within the
tides of impulse and emotion, but re-
quire the balancing influence of his
toric perspective.
"Shall we, then, forego all i'm

orial project, and leave it to the con.
sideration of future days?

building tomorrow.

awakened interest, and in the white
glow of the fervor Of this moment
create the spirit out of which will
spring the completed memorial.
"This means that at this time
every citizen, every organization, in
st. Paul should give the best thought
the best intelligence to the propo-
sition, should earnestly consider il
and evolve the most careful judge
ment concerning it.
ga few central points of import
ance seem to me to emphasize them
selves at this time:
First, every citizen of st. Paul
should be represented in the Mem
orial when it is finally a completed
thing.
Second, in the consideration OF
the various ideas proposed let us not
become so established in favor Of
any one project that we shall engen
der any bitterness to last after the
memorial is completed.
'Third, let us, in deciding upor
the form of our memorial consider
the purposes for which such al

Henry P. Davidson, Chairman of
the War Council of the Red Cross, has
issued to the 1852 Chapters and the
100000 members of the Am
erican Red Cross, the following state
ment outlining the future policy of
the American Red Cross:
s'The whole American people will
be invited this week to enroll as men,
bers of the Red Cross. It is conf
dentially believed that there need be
no further campaigns for Red Cross
funds, but, instead, an annual Roll
Call will constitute the foundation
of the Red Cross. The people should
therefore, know as definitely as pos
sible the plans of this, their national
humanitarian society.
"Since the armistice was signed, |
have had an opportunity to confer
in Paris with the heads of all Am
erican Red Cross commissions in
Europe, and later in Washington
with the President of the United
Safes, the War Council of the Red
Cross, the managers of the fourteen
Red Cross Divisions in the United
States, and with the heads of our de-
partments at National headquarters
/ am, therefore, able to speak now
with knowledge and assurance in
saying that the benefcient work OF
the American Red Cross is to go for.
ward on a greater scale-not alone
as heretofore, for purposes of relief
of war, but as an agency of peace
and permanent human service.
"Since Americas entry into the
war, the purpose of our Red Gross
has been primarily to aid our army
and navy in the care of our owr
men under arms; and, secondly, te
extend relief to the soldiers, sailors
and civilians Of those nations which
were fighting our battles along with
their own. With the funds which
have been so generously contrib
uted by the American people, thi'
war work of the Red Cross will con
tinue and be completed with all pos
sible sympathy and energy.
"Wherever our soldiers and sailors
may be, the Red Cross will stay witt

them until they are demobilized.
Nothing which we may do will be
left undone, either for the men in
the war zone, for those returning,
for those in the camps and hospitals,
or for their families at home to whom
will continue to be devoted the min
istrations of the Red Cross ser
vice. In this latter effort $4,000
trained Red Cross workers are now
engaged at $500 different places
throughout the land.
''The problems of reconstruction,
involving feeding and caring for the
distressed civilian populations of
Europe, are of such magnitude that,
necessarily, they must be met very
largely by the governments of our
Allies, with whom our own govern
ment will cooperate.
"The great task of fighting tuber-
culosis, promoting child welfare and
caring for refugees, with which the
American Red Cross has concerned
itself so effectively in France, Italy
and Belgium, will at an early date
be assumed by the governments, the
Red Cross organizations, and the re-
lief societies of those countries which
now that they are released from the
terrific burden Of waging war, nat
urally desire to take care, as far as
they can, of their own people.
"The war program of the AM
erican Red Cross will thus steadily
and rapidly merge itself into a peace
program. The wake of the war,
will, however, reveal the prevalence
of disease and give rise to epidemics
and emergencies which in all parts
of the world will call for unlimited
voluntary effort, the cutting of red
tape and the manifestation of those
qualities Of human sympathy which
government action cannot display.
Here will be the opportunity for
the American Red Cross. But even
our Red Cross must not act and can
not act most effectively alone; we
must labor in cooperation with the
National Red Cross and relief associ-
atoms of other nations, to the end
that not alone the heart of America
but the heart Of all mankind may be

modified on behalf of suffering hui
manity.
While, therefore, the plans of the
American Red Cross in this direction
cannot be formulated specifically,
in advance of the general relief pro-
gram of the Allied governments; the
American Red Cross is nevertheless
planning to develop its permanent or
ganization in this country upon a
scale never before contemplated in
time of peace.
"The COMMISSIONS which are now
conducting the activities of the Am
erican Red Cross in foreign countries
as well as the temporary war organ
ization in this country, will as mat
ter of course ultimately merge their
energies with those of the permanent
organization of the Red Cross.
"With the War has developed the
striking and important fact that
many men and women. some of whom
had with great success devoted their
lives entirely to business, came into
the Red Cross organization at the
outset of the war simply that they
might serve their country, but have
realized such a satisfaction to them
selves in the opportunity to serve
| mankind that they now desire to be-
come part of the permanent peace
organization of the American Red
| Cross.
"There may, therefore, be perfect
confidence that the peace activities
of the Red Cross will be conducted
under able and inspiring leadership
The Chapters will maintain their or

the new demands to be made upon
them. Local committees will indeed
