GET THE RED CROSS HABIT

By EDWARD HUNGERFORD Of the Vigilantes. Of the V 1(1 Ian tea

The Called States has Dew been at > oar for more than. a year. But up to ■ 'he present time the Red Cross has | made but one national appeal for help , -Its J100.p00,000 drive la the summer , of 1B17. Now It Is about to make 'an ! other appeal — Its second. And upon ' ihe heels of the Third Liberty ' Loon. For. great as are the re- 1 spoaslbintles and the opportunities of ' the Institution whose blazing symbol ' la recognized by civilized nations the 1 world over as a symbol of peace and ' •f comfort. Its expenditures are but a. 1 small fraction of those required for 1 our governmental expense for the con- 1 luct of the war. Organization of Service. j The Red Cross has never permitted < itself to encroach upon the functions 1 or the necessities of the government. ] although there are many times when i it might Justify itself in co doing. In i the single Important Instance of trans I imitation It baa refused to burden the i army or navy with the carriage of Its i vast supplies of stores, even though l these were dfetlned for the relief anil I the lives of the soldiers aad the* sailors (hamsalvtt On the contrary, after It i had bullded and fully equipped a great 1 . It

: dispatching depot on Ihe West Side of i , New York for the preparemmt o( its . stores for shipment overseas, and the I war department found Itself so press- ' ed for* warehouse facilities that It was j compelled to take the Red Cross plant | ■ for army needs Davison and bis fel- { I of the Red Cross gladly mov-d . . oul and quickly assembled and bullded ' . another dispatching depot for i heir I t own needs. The spirit of the organl- 1 I zatlon Is that of service. And I hnve I more than mere service— perhaps serr- | . Ice plus efficiency would best deseribe It seems to me that the time has ' come when there should be an even I larger national appreciation of the Red I Cross. Today It has only begun to i touch the surface of the American peo- , pie. Continued fighting and extended j i casualty lists will force it far beneath i the skin. It cannot be embarrassed 1 • for lack of funds. You and I cannot j ' afford to have It embarrassed, to be i compelled to turn any of Its energies I i from the saving of human life to mere ] I grubbing for cold cash, i It Is time that America f«rc«l a ! : habit. We have some gjnj ■ fairly expensive national tasTdWal- .

»f j ready, movies end motoring, for In* s . Stance, to say noihlng of smoking and e | drinking. A Utile reduction od aU of s | tlrely new habit would be a mighty ii good thing at this time. And for that d • Red Cross — the Red Cross habit. If you i please. It will be a habit the gathered r money of which will go to the credit. I- | not of yourself, but of the greatest e . charity that America ever has known, t self sacrifice. <■ | Our Country the Richest. I Try being ready for the Red Cross s . collector— not merely the next Ume he n comes, but on each subsequent call, d j Do not face him with the reproachful o , suggestion that he has seen you be- »- j fore. Our country Is a big land. In d | many ways the biggest and richest In h | ihe world, but it Is not big enough nor d ' rich enough that folks with money can t escape with but b single lnvltatloD to e contribute. " That Is why I suggest the Red Cross 8 habit— the continuous setting aside of definite sums of money by patriotic a I Americans against the Red Cross J drives. It is a hahlt which I cannot i- 1 commend too heartily to you.
