RED CROSS AGAIN
IN WAR WORK

All preparations had been made
for the annual Roll Call Of the Am
erican Red Cross, which must neces'
sarily be completed long in advance
Of the opening Of the campaign, be.
cause theChapters reach nearly ar.
ound the world; the slogan every
cry American everywhere a mem.
ber of the Red Cross" has been
unanimously approved and the work.
ed of Roll Call organization begun
with the purpose of gaining amen.
bership Of 100000 for 1928.
Then, as suddenly % it was unex-
pected, came the call from Smyrna
for half million innocent sufferers
driven to the waters edge by the
victorious Turkish troops. Thus
came war into the midst Of the Am
erican Red Cross engagements of
peace, and with an insistence that
could not be denied.
The call found the Red Cross pre-.
pared for service and while the chap
ter at Constantinople plunged into
the breach, National Headquarters
at Washington took immediate steps
to meet the terrifying situation grow
ing out of the crisis. Within q short
time American Red Cross relief was
sent to Athens; its nurses In Europe
were working in the refugee camps,
shiploads Of food, clothing and med
ical supplies were started for Greek
ports and over three quarters Of a
million dollars in Red Cross funds
had been committed. for this great
relief work.
The response of the American Red
Cross in this wartime disaster re-
calls the happy phrase uttered by
Cardinal Mercier Of Belgium when
World War relief was at its height
in his own country and in France.
That brave figure in the great con-
flict had said of the American Red
Cross: Such a national inspiration
should be captured and held for the
benefit of all mankind"
The events of the last few weeks
happily prove that the inspiration ha
been captured. And the work for
mankind in far off Greece serves to
emphasize VIII y the American Red
Cross must be prepared to cope with
any disaster, no matter how great in
extent or how sudden, and must be
ready to do the service quickly and
effectually.
The situation which finds the eq-
uipment and resources Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross again engaged in re-
lieving the sufferings attendant up
on war with the efficiency and gen.
erosity that in the world war was a
marvel to all the nations, lays q
greater obligation also upon Ameri-
cans everywhere during the Roll Call
to endorse services to all mankind
with their signatures and their men,
bership fees. TIE Roll Call is a call
to "Say it with names and with dol
lars"-and to say it, as in the world
war times, with patriotic fervor for
your Red Cross.
For as "Peace hath its victories no
less renowned than war;" so must
the American Red Cross have its re-
sources from the strength Of its mem
bership to 60 ever ownward in the
work committed to the organization
by the American people.

SOLICITORS MUST Be
ENDORSED BY LEAGUE

A reiteration OF their position
on the matter of subscription and
advertising solicitation OF the
members was made at the last
meeting of the Salem Business
Mems league when a motion tc
advise the daily papers OF the city
as to the position of the league
was passed.
The secretary Of the league
points out that members will sub
scribe to solicitations for money
or advertising only when the 30
licitor carriers permit card is
sued by the league. This regula-
tion is enforced to protect Salem
business men from the operations
of undeserving solicitors for ad-
vertising and money.
II Is pointed out that solicitors
for deserving causes or enterprises
can secure permit card by sub
mitting their proposition to the
board OF directors of the league
for approval, and that the issu-
ance OF such permit not only
protects the merchants but assists
the solicitor.

TRUSTEES MEET
HERE TUESDAY

Tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock the semi-annual meeting
Of the board Of trustees of William
cite university will be held In
Eaton hall. II is expected that
some definite action will be taken
towards the erecting of a gymnas-
Ium to replace the one burned
over a year ago. The resolution
Of the student body represented
last month was left for the full
session of the trustees to act up
on.
The resolution asked that work
on a new gymnasium be started
at once and that In case the trus-
tees felt that they were not able
to pay the cost of the upkeep until
sufficient money from the one
million dollar endowment had
been raised, the students would
levy a tax OF five dollars upon
each member of the school. With
the money obtained through that
source and the money paid out
during the year for the rent of the
armory there would be sufficient
funds to pay for the maintenance.
The appointing of the athletic
director for next year will also be
made.
