PRESIDENT URGES COUNTRYMEN JOIN RED CROSS IN IMPRESSIVE
 NUMBERS DURING ANNUAL ROLL

WASHINGTON. Nov. Il (by As sociated Press )-President Wilson urges his fellow countrymen" to join the Red Cross "in impressive numbers" during the fourth annual roll call to be held during the fort night beginning today, Armistice day.
 ''The American Red Cross," said the president, deserves a hearty re- 5ponse to it's fourth invitation to annual membership, which will be issued during the fortnight beginning with Armistice day.
 Under the stimulus of war and through the cooperation of our peo- pie. this organization grew into i'm ,GEnse size, enlarged it's range of activity, served not only our fighting forces but also civilians involved in the hardships of war in our own na- lon and Tn the nations associated with us in a great common enter prise, and gave to the world an ex- ample of effective mercy through CO., 0riinated effort
 Since the cessation of hostilities tha organization has faced a dual duty: First, to fulfill obligations created by the war, and, secondly, to adapt it's experience and machin- cry to the needs of peace.
 Ut is, today, still assisting gov ernmental agencies in the care and cheer of our disabled soldiers and sailors, in replacing those able to work in civilian occupations, and in counselling and aiding the, families of former combatants; and it is still assisting, with diminished resources, the process of rehabilitation in some of the more prostrated countries of former associates.

obligations, the Red Cross has been accommodating methods and apply ing lessons learned in war to the normal needs of our own people in times of peace, especially in regions where provisions for public health and welfare were imperfectly de- veloped.
 "By systematic plans and practi- cal performances, it has given a clear answer to the question why the Red Cross should be continued and carried over from war activity into peace-time activity. The answer is in the record.
 Additional to these obvious as- poets of the matter, there is another reason why I, as president of the United States and president of the American Red Cross, urge my fellow countrymen to join the Red Cross in impressive numbers: Reaction fol lows emotion, and after great effort comes perilous lassitude. Sound patriotism and genuine human ser vice are continuous, not intermittent, not contingent merely upon the ex, citement of war. If there is in some of us an inward cooling of the fine fervor which animated us in the crisis of the nations stress and peril, contraction of the spirit which ennobled us as individuals and as nation, now, during the Red Cross Roll Call" is a fitting season to take counsel with our inner selves, to rekindle the old flame, to reaffirm allegiance to practical patriotism and practical humani- tarianism, and to symbolize the regeneration of our better thoughts and handsomer selves by re-enlist- ment in a great army mobilized for the common good.
