Early in the participation of the United States in the world war, the American Red Cross perceived the value of mobilizing the school children of the country and the Junior Red Cross was organized. Before the war ended nine million children were en. rolled and helped in the war fund and membership campaigns, in chap ter production of relief supplies and manufacturing furniture for the ref ugees whose homes and household goods were destroyed.
 Children everywhere in the United States responded to the call to serv- ice sounded by President Wilson as head of the American Red Cross. This photograph is that of an en- thusiatic young Japanese member of the Junior Red Cross of Spokane.

President Pleads to q. s..
to Back Trusting Europe

MECHANICS HALL. BOSTON, Feb
ruary 25--The text of President Will
sons address here yesterday afternoon
follows:
Gov Coolidge, Mr.. Mayor, fellow
citizens: ! wonder if you are half
as glad to see me as I am to see
you. 1t warns my heart to see a
great body Of my fellow citizens
again, because in some respects
during the recent months have
been very lonely indeed without
your comradeship and counsel and
/ tried at every step Of the work
which fell to me to recall what
was sure would be your counsel
with regard to the great matters
which were under consideration
do not want you to think that
have not been appreciative OF the
extraordinarily generous reception
which was given to me on the
other side in saying that 1t makes
me very happy to get home again.
/ do not mean to say that I was not
very deeply touched by the cries
that came from the great crowds
on the other side But ] want to
say to, you in all honesty that felt
them to be call of greeting 10 you
rather than to ma
No Mistaking "Tone.7
I did not feel that the greeting
was personal I had in my heart
the overcrowning pride Of being
YOUR representative and Of receiv-
he rlo nf
where who felt that your hearts
beat with theirs in the cause of lib
erty. There was no mistaking the
tone in the voices of those great
crowds. 1t was not tone of mere
greeting; it was not a tone of mere
generous welcome; it was the call
ing of comrade to comrade, the
cry that comes from men who say:
I'VE have waited for this day when
the friends of liberty should come
across the sea and shake hands
with us, to see that q new world
was constructed upon . new basis
and foundation OF Justice and
right"
/ can't ten you the Inspiration
that came from the sentiments that
come out Of those simple voices OF
the crowd. And the proudest thing
I have to report to you Is that this
great country Of ours is trusted
throughout the world.
l have not come to report the pro
ceedings or the results OF the pro-
ceedings of the peace conference;
that would be premature. I can say
that l have received very happy i'm
pressions from this conference; the
impression that while there are many
differences of judgment, while there
are some divergences of object. there
is nevertheless a common spirit and
neceS-
sity of setting up new standards OF
right in the world.

Grounds for Pride.

I have had so many grounds for

I'd be the most stuck-up man in the
world. And 1t has been an in6nite
pleasure to me to see those gallant
soldiers of ours, of whom the Con-
stitution of the United States made
me the proud commander. You may
be proud of the 2Sth Division, but
] commanded the 26th Division and
see what they did under my direc-
ton. And everybody praises the
American soldier with the feeling
that in prafsing him he is subtract

A Wonderful Thing.

was there ever so wonderful
thing seen before? Was there ever
SO moving thing? Was there ever
any fact that so bound the nation
that had won that esteem forever
to deserve it?
/ would not have you understand
that the great men who represent
the other nations there IN CONFER
ence are disesteemed by those who
know them. Quite the contrary.
But YOU understand that the ma
tions of Europe have again and
again cIashed with one another in
competitive interest It is impos-
sible for men to forget those sharp
issues that were drawn between
them in times past 1t is irnpossi-
BILE for men to believe that all am
bitlons have all of sudden been
foregone. They remember territory
that was coveted; they remember
rights that il was attempted to ex-
tort; they remember political am
bitions which it was attempted to
realize--and, while they believe
that men have come into a different
temper, they cannot forget these
things, and so they do not resort
10 one another for a dispassionate
view of the matters in controversy.
They resort to that nation which
has won the enviable distinction Of
being regarded as the friend of
mankind.
whenever it is desired to send a
small force of soldiers to occupy a
piece of territory where it is
thought nobody else Will be well
come, they ask for American SOL
diers. And where other soldiers
would be looked upon with suspicion
and perhaps met with resistance,
the American soldier is welcomed
with acclaim.

Hearing Whole Case.

what we are doing is to hear the
whole case; hear 1t from the mouths
of the men most interested; hear it
from those who are officially COM
missioned to state it; to hear the
rival claims: hear the claims that
affect new nationalities, that affect
new areas of the world, that affect
new commercial and economic con-
nections that have been established
by the great world war through
which we have gone. And I have
been struck by the moderateness OF
those who have represented ma
tional claims. I can testify that
have nowhere seen the gleam of
passion. I have seen earnestness,
/ have seen tears come to the eyes
Of men who plead for down-trodden
people whom they were privileged
to speak for; but they were not the
tears of anguish-they were the
tears of ardent hope.
And I don't see how any man can
fail to have been subdued by these
pleas, subdued to this feeling that
he was not there to assert an indi-
viduaI judgment of his own, but to
try to assist the case of humanity
