The Red Cross It is the mission of the Red Cross to alleviate the miseries of war. It can not prevent wounds but it c..n sue that the wounded are conveyed to hospi tals and treated by capable sur geons. It can provide ambul ances. look after the food and clothing of the men in the trenches, organize recreation for troops and attend to those spirit ual and mental needs which were too often forgotten in the wars of the past. The Red Cross gives to the wounded that first aid which often saves life. It is a friend to the friendless, the comforter of the forsaken. It soothes the pillow of the homesick soldier. It gives the lonely mother news of her son in the foreign trenches. If we must have war we should be humbly gratful to the Al mighty that he inspired Clara Barton to invent the mitigation of the Red Cross. All this merciful work costs money. Ambulances, expert sur geons, trained nurses, medicine, food for the sick, the host of assistants, must be supported by the generosity of those who stay at home. Had our army been attended by an efficient lied C ross organization in the Spanish war much needless suffering and death that shocked the country would have been avoided. The training camps would not have become fever camps. Laden supply trains would not have stood on the tracks swathed in official red tape while the sol diers starved. We are now engaged in a greater and more terrible war than our contest with Spain. If the Red Cross was needed then it is needed more now. To maintain a Red Cross organiza tion proportionate to their needs, will cost large sums of money. An effort is under way to raise Serial No. 1111 WAR CENSUS DAY sometning liko $100,000,000 for the American Red Cross. So much will be required and a great deal more if the war lasts aB now seems likely. The gen erosity of the American people will be called upon for mighty sacrifices and the call will not be vain. Oregon’s portion of the fund will demand heavy sacri fices. Those who cannot fight can give. V/hoever gives to the Red Cross holds up the hands of the fighters. We should empty our pockets as freely as they shed their blood. -Oregon Jour nal. WHEN—June 5, 1917, 7 a. m. to 9 p. m. WHERE—At the Town Hall.
