Red Cross Week, from June 18th to 25th, as been set
aside by President Wilson in formal proclamation as the
period in which the nation will devote itself to raising
$100,000,000 for the comfort and relief of the country's
fighting men, the sick and wounded, as well as depend
ent families of enlisted men and destitute non-combatants.
Despite the many calls upon the patriotic for financial
assistance, this campaign for the Red Cross is already as
sured the magnificent support jt will need to carry. Brisk
preliminary work on the part of the Western Campaign
committee has enlisted the most powerful and influential
men in all the large centers. Secretary Joseph .Tumulty,
in behalf of President Wilson, has wired to hundreds of
prominent men throughout the west and has received from
them, enthusiastic assurances of support. - . ..
Conferences have been held, already in San Francisco,
Los Angeles and Portland. Denver and Wichita will
be isited and organized before the trip ends. John B.
Miller, of Los AngeJes gas corporation, is chairman of the
western committee, and, working with him are such rep
resentative men as William II. Crocker, of San Francisco,
Lawrence C. Phipps, Sr., of Denver, Henry L. Corbett, of
Portland, Charles E. Peabody, of Seattle, George C. Talia
ferro, of San Antonia, and Ford Harvey, of Kansas, City.
The western headquarters are at the Palace Hotel in San
J'ranosco, with Lyman L. Pierce, executive secretary, and
Richard R. Perkins, associate secretary.
"Military and civilian relief at home and abroad" is
the slogan of the campaigners for this immense sum of

"The best way in which to impart the greatest efficiency

says-President Wilson, in discussing his creation of the j

hands of a single, experienced organization which has been
recognized by law and by international convention as the
public mstrnmentality for such purposes. Tndeed, such
