Take Your Part in Home
Service Promised, Our
Soldiers
Our soldiers, freed from the pros
pect oj. service- overseas, are still to
[ spend weary months in camp. In the
depressing waiting they will lose heart
more easily than before when things
- go wrong at home. Red Gross Home
. Service to their families must contin
. ue —we are pledged it shall —as long
[ as families are deprived of the sup
, pert of the soldier’s presence.
Our task is peculiarly heavy be
cause of the large rural districts our
chapters cover. The worried soldier
1 with a letter telling of sickness or
trouble at home must often wait days
until a Home Service Worker can
make a visit to a distant place, and
write back that medical or other re
, lief has been given. Bad weather
Conditions will soon make almost im
passable roads in many places.
We want to make plain to all peo
ple the opportunity Red Cross pro
vides for kind, neighborly interest in
soldiers’ families; how every patriotic
person can be a link in the chain of
service we give our enlisted men. A
distress call may come to your home
service worker at any time in refer
ence to a soldier’s family who live
near you. You can become an active
instead of an admiring member of
this department of Red Cross. Tele
phone or write your Red Cross chap
ter that you are willing to visit a sol
dier’s family at once if need arises in
your immediate neighborhood.. If
your chapter has no Home Service
find out why not, and get others to
help you push the inquiry until your
communny takes its proper part in
the pledge that the soldier’s family
shall not suffer during his absence.
Inform yourself, too, as to what bene
fits Home Service can help secure the
■ returning, especially the wounded,
soldier.
The army depends on Home Service
to instruct returning men about keep
ing up insurance, compensation, re
education and fitting back into indus
try.
It is your patriotic and neighborly
duty to get in touch with your Home
Service section, For further infor
mation address Joseph C. Logan, di
rector civilian relief, southern divis
ion, American Red Cross. Healey
Building, Atlanta, Ga.

Give the Red Cross a Christmas
present, your paid up membership.
This is the very best use for a dollar

President Wilson’s
Roll Call Message
To the American People:
One year ago twenty-two million
Americans, by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas time,
i sent to the men who were fighting
our battles overseas a stimulating
message of cheer and good will. They
made it clear that our people re e
of their own free choice united with
their government in the determina
tion not only to wage war with tin?
instruments of destruction, but also
by every means in their power to re
pair the ravages of tiie invader and
sustain and renew the spirit of the ar
my and of the homes which they rep
resented. The friends of the AuudK
can Red Cross in Italy,
France haye told, and willSHßHHpri
the story of how the Red CrMrwork-!
ers restored morale in the hospitals, j
in the camps, and at cantonments, ;
and we ought to be very proad that ’
we have been permitted to be of ser-.
vice to those whose sufferings and
whose glory are the heritage of hu-j
manity.
Now, by God’s grace, 1 he Red Cross
Christmas message of 1918 is to be a .
message of peace as well as a message :
of good will. But peace does not
mean that we can fold our hands. It
means further sacr’fice. Our mem
bership must hold together and be
increased for the great tasks to come.
We must prove conclusively to an at
tentive world that America is per
manently aroused to the needs of the >
new era, our old indifference gone for- ’
ever.
■T he exact nature of the future ser-
if the Red Cross will depend i
i i [ the programme of the associated
_ foments, but there is immediate
nc d today for every heartening word
itrl eyery helpful service. We
must not forget that our soldiers and *
our sailors are still under orders and i
still haye duties to perform of the
highest consequence, and that the
Red Cross Christmas memb.rship
membership means a great deal to
them. The people of the saddened
land, moreover, returning home today
where there are no homes must have
the assurance that the hearts of our
people are with them ia the dark and j
doubtful days ahead. Let us, so far !
as we can, help them back to faith in
mercy and in future happiness.
As President of the Red Cross,
conscious in this great hour of the
value of such a message from the
American people, I should be glad if
every American would join the Red
Onoss for 1919, and thus send forth
to the whole human family the
Christmas greeting for which it waits
and for whbh it stands in greatest
need. Woodrow Wilson.
