PLANS FOR DRIVE BEGUN
CAMPAIGN WILL DETERMINE THE
FUTURE OF RED CROSS.
Reasons for Maintainlne Organization
at Present High Efficiency.
Are Given.

Plans for the nationwide Red Cross
campaign, opening Monday, November
3 and closing Armistice Day, Novem-
her II, are being begun in every city,
town and county by Red Cross work
ers. The primary object Of the cam
paign, which will be known as the
Third Red Cross Roll Call, will )e
to enroll members for 1920. Twenty
million members will be sought
throughout the country, and in the
Southwestern Division of the Red
Cross, comprising tie states of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas, the quota has been set at
100000 members.
1t Is the consensus of opinion that
the coming drive is the most important
ever undertaken by the Red Cross, in
asmuch as the results will determine
to d large extent the possibilities Of
future Red Cross endeavor.

upon the fact that all tie nations in
the League agree to do one of two
things, first to submit their differences
to arbitration, in which case they
agree to abide by the decision rem
dered, or, if unwilling to arbitrate, to
have their case discussed by the Coun-
Gil Of the League, in which case six
months is granted for discussion.
Three months must elapse following
the result of this last step in arbitra-
ton before the nation concerned can
declare war.

The president took advantage of
questions propounded by the San Fran
cisco Labor Council to give the infer
ence that he believes Ireland can bring
her case before the League of Nations
for settlement when 4, the League is
actually in existence.
Shan Tung, he declared, will be re-
turned to China. Japan, he said, had
given her solemn pledge to that effect.
And with the League of Nations In
force, said the president, we can, If
occasion arises, stand forth and say,

your mind as to Why the Red Cross
is conducting drive? II so, perhaps
the following brief outline will answer
your query.
The Red Cross, first of all, must
take care of the wounded and disabled
soldiers in the hospitals. Thousands
of men are still in the hospitals,
abroad in the Army of Occupation, in
the camps awaiting discharge AMI in
service on the border. The Red Cross
must continue to care for these men
until the last man is home.
The safety of America hinges ON The
checkinggnf disease and Bo'shevism
abroad The Red Cross must complete
its obligations 70 foreign countries.
Red Cross relief commissions have
m their way into the hearts CT these
SUFFERING peoples and have II hand the
means FL the solution of heir prob
lens
The Red Cross must answer the call
of the American people. The toll Of
the influenza epidemic, the health con-
ditfons revealed by the draft, alarm.
ing statistics concerning infant mortal
ity, have added to the growing reali-
cation that public welfare depends
on public health. The American pco-
pie are becoming aroused to the urgent
need of health knowledge. They have
realized the value of Red Cross Home
Service for its activities have reached
communities where no other social
agency is at work. They are earning
to appreciate that the future of Amer
lea depends on the training for cit
izenship of the coming generations.
America is turning to the Red Cross
for help in solving these community
problems.
One of the best reasons for the
maintenance of the Red Cross at it,
present high state of reorganization
and efficiency is 70 be found IN the
prompt relief measures ,aken during
the recent storm that swept the TIE. s
coast.
The Red Cross, one of whose objects
is to minimize suffering after just
such disaster, had machinery in
readiness that was put into instant
operation. Those LEI. dependent by
injury and death were lot Compelled
TO rely upon haphazard islIrovfses
organization to collect funds and DIS
tribute inefficiently ann wastefully the
means of relief. On the first receipt
Ct the news of the disaster, relief
trains were made up at Laredo and
San Antonio, Tex, trained disaster re-
lief officials left st. Louis to take
charge of the disbursement of supplies,
while at Galveston a government YES
sci WAS hurriedly impressed into serv-
ice to carry relief supplies.
The duty OF liberal all-the-year-
round support Of the Red Cross Is
made plain.
