And great and wonderful as has been the work of the American Red Cross in the past, still greater and more wonderful must it be in the future for now your boy is in the fight. Your Red Cross cannot neglect France, England, Italy, Serbia, Roumania and little Belgium. It must give them all constantly increasing help, for the men of these countries have been fighting our battles. But now we must all redouble our efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross because a million mothers' sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting for honor and liberty. ..With' the "help of your Red Cross your boy will win.
