In a Red Cross appeal delivered before he unfurled the National and Red Cross colors before the Oyster Bay Reformed Church at Brookville at noon today. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt pleaded that the Nation should begin to tninK about the fate of the American boys who may be captured by tne tiermans. Unless steps are taken immediately to provide for them in German prison camps, he said, they will be subjected to hardships and starvation, as were the English prisoners before their Red Cross workers could arrange' to take care of them. "I want the Red Cross to prepare for this duty at this time," he declared. "Steps should be taken now. If not. our men will starve in Germany. The British prisoners starved until their Red Cross supplied them with food. "The man who can t go to the front should render other service. Most of all there should be shame attached to the wealthy man who idles. If any young man is in doubt whether to fight or do other work, let him give the Army the benefit of the doubt and fight. The rest of us should stand by in every possible way. That means to buy liberty bonds, to subscribe to the Red Cross and so on." Speaking of the fighting material of the Nation, the Colonel said: "Every young man wTTo hasn't Im perative duties ought, from this time on, to fight or train mself with the idea that he must go abroad." - Baby Is .Drowned In Spring.
