Red Cross War Fund Head
Enlists Full Public Support

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Urging each
American citizen to consider the Red
Cross as his personal emissary to his
particular serviceman, Colby M. Ches-
ter, chairman of the 1915 American
Red Cross War f'hud campaign, today
asked all Americans to give to their
fullest ability in support of the 1916
national goal of $2OO,OO0,000
"Those of us who must stay at home
and fight by doing our daily tasks as
efficiently as possible" he said, like
to feel that though we are not beside
John or Jim or Bob on the battle field,
we do have a personal ambassador in
each of the ten thousand Red Cross
workers now serving with the troops
overseas"
Opening March 1 and continuing
throughout the entire month, the third
Red Cross War Fund will not only fill
intensified needs on advancing war
fronts, but will provide needed services
to those who have returned from ac-
ton, their families, their buddies await
ing transportation overseas, and their
friends and neighbors at home in time

of natural or war-caused emergency.
More than 100000 volunteer solici-
tors stand ready to aid in local collec-
tions in every American community
Each will devote his time and effort
toward reaching the goal so that men
and women in military service will
know the Red Cross ''is staying right
with them, right up to and beyond the
day of peace and victory Mr.. Chester
explained
Without personal gain or remunera-
tion, the 100000 men and women vol.
unteer canvassers will represent 3,756
Red Cross chapters throughout the ma
ton. Seeking from door to door those
contributions which will not be made
through factory, Office school or thea
tre, each will carry an official identi-
fcation card for the protection of the
householder For the most part, how
ever, such Identification will be un-
necessary because the solicitor will be
a neighbor or friend. To each contribu-
tor, he will give red, white and blue
window sticker bearing the well-known
Red Cross emblem.

Ethics must again be renewed as the practical yard-stick it is de- signed to be for our daily living it was stressed yesterday by Rabbi s GerWitz of Bradley Beach, N.
