PRESIDENTS PLEA
FOR THE RED CROSS
Urges Importance of "RoII
Call" in Letter Written
Prior to Illness.

President Wilson appealed to the
people of the country for support Of
the third Red Cross roll call. which is
to be held from November 2 to II. in
a letter written before his illness and
made public yesterday. The appeal
follows:
LAS President Of the United States
and as president of the American Red
Cross, I recommend and urge a gen
erous response to the third Red Cross
roll call. which opens on November
the I'd with the observance of Red
Cross Sunday and appropriately closes
on November the 18th, the hrst an
nfversary of the signing of the armis-
tice.
Twenty Millions Join During War.
Twenty million adults Joined the
Red Cross during the war, prompted
by patriot desire to render service
to their country and to the cause for
which the United States was engaged
in war. Our patriotism should stand
the test of peace as we'll As the test of
war, and 1t is an intelligently patri-
otto program which the Red Cross
proposes, a continuance of service to
our soldiers and sailors who look to
IT for many things, and a transference
the experience and methods which 1t
acquired during the war.
TT is on membership more than
money contributions that the stress
of the present campaign is laid. for
the Red Cross seeks to associate the
the land. especially In those COM
munities where neither ofncial nor un-
ofiicial provision has been made for
ADEQUATE public health and social
service
Duty Of American People.
TT is in the spirit Of democracy
that the people should undertake
their own welfare activities, and the
National Red Cross wisely intends
to exert upon community action a
ence and to place the energies OF the
organization behind all sound public
health and welfare agencies.
The American Red Cross does not
purpose indefinite prolongation Of its
relief work abroad. a policy which
own people and tend to undermine
the seh-relianee Of the peoples re-
lieved, but there is a necessary work
OF completion to be performed before
the American Red Cross can honor
