PRESIDENT Woodrow Wilson has ask-
1 ed for $100,000,000 to support the Red
Cross.
We men and women who have read the
splendid appeal of President WHson for'the
Red $ross, realize the necessity of this large
amount of money. We know and believe
in the Red Cross.
We know that the fathers, brothers and sons who go to
the front should have every comfort and care. We know,
too, that every man or woman, boy or girl who stays at
home will want to do their “bit” whether it be $1.00,
$10.00, $100.00, $10,000.00, or $100,000.00--0ne man in
New York has given five million dollars to the Red Cross.
Thousands of our leading citizens will give one full week
of their time to collect this money.
There are now over 600.000 members of the Ked Cross in this country. If each
one of these members will devote two hours of each day to soliciting subscriptions,
make three calls a day, every man, woman or child will be asked personally to give to
his utmost to the Red Cross. \

/] A HE Red Cross is the greatest humanita
rian organization in the* world.
It provides for care of the sick and wounded at the war
b'ise. It provides for the soldiers’and sailors’'families.
It provides employment for returned disabled men, and
under government direction, goes where you and I cannot
go in the hour of danger.
Red Cross Subscribers are not expected to go to the war
front; nor do they assume any financial obligation other
than the payment of their subscription.
But the aggregate of these subscriptions, paid by milling of grateful men, w
n all over the land, will make possible the bentflcent work of relief
women
upon
and children , .
which the soldier, sailor and his family depend.
This is not charity. To take our place in the ranks of fee Red Cross is merely to
do our rightful part in helping to win this war.

RED CROSS, SAYS:.
. -1 have today created the Red Crow a war. council
to which will be entrusted the duty bt responding to the extra
ordinary demand, which the present war will make upon the
services of the Red Crou, both in the field and in civilian re-
' jj e f >
“The be*£ way ir^which to impart the greatest-efficiency
and energy to the relief work which this war will entail will
be to concentrate in the hands of a single experienced organi
zation which has been recognized by law and by international
convention a. the public instrumentality for such purpose*.
"Meed such a co«%rttratioo of administrative action in
this, matter seem, to me absolutely necessary, and I hereby
earnestly call upon all those who can contribute either great
sums or small tdnhe alleviation of the suffering and distre*s
which must inevitably arise ortr df this fi*ht for humanity and
democracy to contribute to the Red Cro*s-
It will be one of the fir*t and most necessary tasks of the
new war council of the Red Cross, to raise great sums of money
for the support of the work to be done upon a greet scale.
I hope that the res^bnse to their efforts will be a demon-
. strati on of the generosity of America and the power of genu
ine practical sympathy among -our people that will command
the admiration of the yrhole world.”
(Statement by President Woodrow Wilaon, issued May 10th.
19*7.)
