A NJ MERICAN RELIEF
ADMINISTRATION.

An appalling situstioh of suffer !
ing, involving hundreds of .hous-
ands OF people who have been
forced to fee from their homes in
the Near East and ITO seek refuge
in lands already hGrdened with
care, has emphasized to the peo-
p!e,of this country that the Amer
ican Red Gross is our National
Emergency Fund with which to
meet great crises in disaster. The
accentuation of the fact is the
greater 10 that the particular Ca
lamity now appealing to humanity
has fallen gust in advance of the
American Red Gross annual Roll
Gall.
The resources of the American
Red Gross nrust be annually re-
plenished through the Roll Call.
This year the summons is second
ed by concrete emergency~of the
kind that is ever liable to be pre-
cipitated upon the world. 1t is
impossible for the Red Gross to be
dependent upon public appeal
for specific objects. because when
emergency and disaster face us
we have no time to wait until
funds can be raised. The Red
'Cress is our ever-ready agency for
responding to the call Of calamity
the moment the alarm is sounded.
The American Red Cross should
have minimum membership tf
ten million in order that its re-
serves may be equal to our domes-
tic aud our foreign emergencies in
humane purposes, In the light of
my experience in relief work
throughout the world | feel it a
duty to express my personal hope
that the people of America will
show their confidenc in their Red
Cross in this Roll Gall in unmis-
taxable terms. Let's all get be-
hind She Red Gross aud give it ten
million members fer its great work

success elsewhere. Eventually he re-
