Show A MESSAGE FROM EDWARD N. HURLEY, Chairman of the United States Shipping Board. EVERY dollar that has been appropriated by the American Ameri-can Red Cross in this war has welded closer that relationship between the United' States and the nations of the Entente, a relationship that will have a marked effect upon the peace council that is coming. If this work of spreading the gospel of mercy is to continue, every man, woman and child in this republic must give the American Red Cross his fullest support in its second campaign for $100,000,000. Our boys in Europe are looking to us to back them up and I know of no better means of supporting them than through the instrumentality of the American Red Cross. The good it has already accomplished and the comforts com-forts and welfare it will provide later when the stress of war becomes greater for the United States forces, make it imperative that the second fund of $100,000,000 be a spontaneous gift on the part of the American. people. |
