This campaign Tor the purpoiic of obtaining ob-taining enrollments in the American Red Cross Is na ( ion 'Wide. Thin organization, whose intnie la typical of charity and iiim-y to nil the world, needs enormous i.um.-i of mnnev to parry on its beneficent work. When the problem of reconstruction reconstruc-tion : as first ronsider'ed, it loomed up too :i;:t;i!ic problem for one organization. .ve-;i an Lie CroHri, to handle alone. Inlerpyted soverfimf.m must feed the mil- J lionH of starving people; must provide ; homes ior the countless number of little I cailtiren left fallierle.sa and motherless by the cruel raaK.-3 of war, and they must I u n lid up the thousands of cities utterly j de u stiit psd. A Kivat deal of the reronstruetion work: will lie done in institutions under the cU- j ioit supervision of the KM Cross. Crip-! pled foidiers will rcj-aln their lost inlererit in life and will be Utt'sht how to earn a living by the sisters of mercy. Many of l ie philanthropic organizations of the Red Cross in Franco and Fielsimn will be maintained as an aid to the war-weary people who must obtain a new lease on life. So much must be done In these war-tSrn war-tSrn countries that only the Red Cross, with its insight into conditions, can do. FiKht White Plague. P. has been announced that $2,5hO,000 has been et aside, as a war measure, to T.ie enmpalyn against tuberculosis in the Tailed States. Especially after a war is the ureat white pl.it-rue menacing, and complete victory can only come with the health of the soldiers, who will make up the backbone of this nation during the reconstruction re-construction era. Kvcryivlicre will the sospel of fresh air and sunshine ho tauprht by the Red Cro.ss. in the plums of the cities, in the i-'oldter camps, in the schools, and everywhere every-where that people congregate will the liealth-plvins doctrines of the Red Cross be spread. The wonderful work of this prreat organisation or-ganisation cannot be overestimated. It hats saved the lives of millions and will sae millions more, and this year it is asked that the American people show tneir lovahv and their gratitude by en-i-o'lln; in the Rod Cross. This is the last appeal for funds that will be made this year, as no campaign will be held until i,.e next Heel Cross Christmas rolicall in l:U9. Committees Named.
