IT is YOUR DUTY AS A GOOD AMERl.
CAN TO HELPlTHE RED CROSS.

What has the American Red Cross
been doing since the war began? A
year ago the American people were ap-
pealed to for 500, 200, 600 to maintain
the American Red Cross as q relief
agency in the worldawar. The Ameri-
can people answered this appeal by
turning into thei Red Cross treasury
more than $110,000,00O This week a
nationwide campaign is on for the
raising of another $780, 900. This
relief agency is financed by the con-
tributions of the people. e 1t is not a
government agency, but it is endorsed
by the government and it is doing now
upon q vast scale a work that sup
plements and helps in a hundred WAYS
the rescue and !relief work that must
be performed IN connection with the
activities Of the great war. We, the
people back home, must sustain it. We
must not fix our thought upon what
this service costs. We must turn at
tention instead to the vast and varied
work of benevolenceswhich it is render
ing to a war torn world.
In every city and county division in
the United States, the Campaign for
the restoration of the depleted MAN.
tenance fund. began Monday. The
American people are thoroughly arous-
ed to the significance of this war, and.
being so, they are alive to the signif-
canoe of this Red Cross call. This re-
lief agency works along the side lines.
works in the rear of the fighting front,
reaches out helping hand to the
women and the babes, to the manned
and to those made homeless. 1t is not
power for destruction but a power
for restoration; nonetheless it is inter-
locked with the activities of the war.
The after results of the relief work
which the American Red Cross is rem
derlng in many Gdeyasted war regions
will be Unreasonable.
President Wilson, in his great speech
in New York Saturday night, declared
that the United Statea, with the Ameri-
can Red Cross as;une of its cementing
agencies, will be.the.heart center of a
great world system made up of manv
nations and peoples cemented by a
great and controlling friendship. It IS
only another way of presenting the
grand millennial peace idea. The mil
lenial peace will never begin until the
hideous war system of Hohenzollernism
is crushed, and Hohenzolernism along
with it. 1t was not choice, it was an
unavoidable obligation that the United
States got into the world war and FIGHT
to the finish for world freedom. But
even as we fight, we restore. That is
the meaning of the Red Cross. 1t is
rendering helpful aid in many foreign
countries and performing a large SER
vice in the home region. The funds
for the maintenance of Red Cross work
are managed through the Red Cross
War Council, which consists of
seven members. all appointed by the
President, who is also president OF the
American Red Cross Association.

izing unit it is assured that Germany
has fulfilled the arinistice terms.
Decentralization plans, however, are
all made. In fact, they were mapped
out along with mobilization plans by the
general staff.
First in Service, First Out
On the whole the rehabilitation win
follow the selective system. Men long
est overseas and those most needed in
industry win be the first returned.
The shipping problem win offer some
difficulties.
Britain plans to withdraw her trans.
ports from the American service to take
care Of her Australian, Canadian and
Indian troops. Hence. the process Of
return will be slowed up Immediately.
Still another phase OF rehabilitation
which spells a year to two years for.
eign service for many troops is the
need for police duty abroad.
Feed Men Into Industry
One phase OF the Rehabilitation calls
for return Of men to this country for
sending them to camps and feeding
them back into industry as industry
adjusts itself.
Secretary Baker has given the plain
warning that it VIII be many months
before the last man is out of khaki
and back at a productive task.
The general staff plans are so adj
justed that there viii be no sudden
Cutting OF the labor market with a
resultant hard times era.
