RED! CROSS ROLL
 STARTS TODAY /. LASTS UNTIL BOTH
President Harding's Procla- nation Tells of Work of This Great Organization.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-PreSl- dent Harding today issued the follow ing proclamation in connection with the Annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross which opens. tomorrow, Armistice Day:
 To The American People:
 The assurance, based on many years experience, that there will be prompt and generous response, makes it always a satisfaction to direct pub lie attention to the annual Member ship Roll Call of the American Red Cross. This year it will open on Ar mistice Day, November Il, and close on Thanksgiving Day, November 30. As President of the United States and also President of The American Red Cross,I hereby proclaim November 12 as Red Cross Sunday, and invite all the people to unite with teir, spiritual leaders in such observance of it as many promote renewed conservation to the gospel of service based upon divine. injunction and sanctioned by all good conscience.
 By the terms of the Congressional Charter which called it into being, the American Red Cross is charged with certain clearly defined duties and obs legations. These it has continued, during the past year, to discharge faithfully and efficiently. There are peculiarly urgent reasons to appeal, this year, in behalf of an even greater generosity than has been necessary in some other times, because of the ex- traordinary demands upon such ser vices of mercy and humanity. One of the most fearful disasters of all history has befallen the ill-fated Near Eastern area, where the lives of mill lions of unfortunate people even now depend, and must continue for long time to depend, on the untiring ib- erality of more favored communities. A very grea tsum is required to be raised if the emergency shall be met; and while the task is one to which all well-disposed peoples must contribute, our own lountry in virtue alike of its inspirations of humanity and it's for tunate endowment in material pos sessions, must be conspicuous for both the great share it shall give, and the high spirit animating the gift. It is therefore asked that cooperation be established between the Red Cross, tht Near East Relief ,and all other agen
 cies which are concerned to assist 1T dealini with this crisis.
 In the domestic field, demands con tinue to press heavily upon the Rec Cross. The Government is earnestl.
 seeking to insure to every diseased o, disabled ex-service man the full meas ure of care and help which nationa i gratitude and simle justice dictate , The aim must be to restore every ser
 vice man to the best possible healtl and the largest opportunity for nor
 nal and sef-supporting life. In thi , effort the Government, the Army an'
 Navy, have gladly availed themselve , of the assistance of the Red Cros
 which,. due to it's nationwide volun teer organization, has been a constan
 and valued aid. , In the broad field concerned wit
 the pvsical welfare of the people, tn Red Cross, in sympathetic contact wit
 other organizations, and the Fedora
 and State Bureaus, has been partic ularly active in the establishment an' support of Public Health activities fo the prevention of disease and the en
 couragement of sound sanitation. Il
 its peculiar and historic field of Dis
 aster Relief, the Red Cross has me the emergencies brought about by thu large number of floods and other ca lamities during the past year, and is still called upon to aid the suffering in foreign lands due to war and pes tilence. For these reasons, regardless. of the multitude of local problems 1T every community, the American Ret Cross deserves we'll at the hands of tho American people.
