just a little of the, awful load of misery . "over there." Your
share is all that you can give-and then a little more.

. Your Red Cross is an ali-American, largely volunteer
organization, authorized by Congress, headed by Preside':
Wilson, audfted bv the War Department, enthusiastically
approved by your Army, you Navy,vand your Allies.
The work covers both military and civilian relief in every
wartorn Allied country and full retorts of all expenditures
are continually being published, or are, available throughthe
Chapter.
It stands beside our boys in training or "over there. "
It watches beside the pillows of battle-bro'cen men, and
offers rest and sympathy to war-torn fighters on brief respite
from the front.
It carries food and clothing to hungerei mothers and little
ones in ruined villages.
It helps rebuild the scattered pile of brick and stone they
once called "Home."
It brings back to the hopeless mother's arms her long
lost child
It helps care for the orphans of the men who died that
civilization might live.
It hebs care for the thousands that have fallen prey to
dread tuberlosi3.
It nobly represents in deeds of mercy, relief and restoration
the more than twenty million members that have made its
great work possible.
Will you do your share to keep this
"Hand of Mercy" at its work?
Out of the bleeding heart of Europe there crmes a crv
heard above the moan of the broken body racked with p i i.
The Soul of Freedom, at bay with Death, cries okt to sa'-e .
Liberty for the race of men.
It is your. Liberty, you nation's freedom, jour children's
birthright that is fighting for 'As life- "'' ,
All that life holds for you as an American is at stake in
this war, and you must fight for it to the ut nost limits of your
power. ,
We cannot all be in the trenches, but every one of us can
and must sustain those who are.
Not as an act of mercy, but as an act of war as Soldier of
the Nation help the Red Cross heal, support, cheer our Soldiers
and Sailors of Liberty that they may fight the sooner, the
sooner, the. harder, the longer in this Holy War.
Give to the Red Cross every dollar, every cent that you
possibly can give till your heart says stop. , '
' What's the worth of one baby's life?
on it,
The time has come when you must put a money value
So much Red Cross money available, so many babies
nrrt. . ,
restored
A little less F!el Crjss money available, S3 many
babies lost by default.
It's as plain as that. -
When you made that first Red Cross investment you
had a fairly clear idea that there was plenty to be done and
that the Red Cross would make every dollar of money and
every minute of time count.
Put have you now a clear picture of what price
somebody will have to pay for one delayed dollur or a
hundred dollars withheld?
You can' tread a casual page of Red Cross reports from
anywhere "over there" without endangeiing the coolies
of your decision as to "how much."
Suppose you haJ found "another usj" for your Red
Cross money a while ago and a corresponding part of the
piece of work described below went undone:
v
' Gas bombs were being used. 750 children suddenly
thrust upon the Prefects hand. Twenty-ore of the children
were infants under one year and the remainder were under
eight years-herded together in an old barracks, dirty,
prrctically unfurnished, and with no sanitary appliances.
Sick children were crowded in with the well and skin
disease and vermin abounded. Within two days the Red
Cross workers had cleaned all the children, nrovirlpd new
barracks, provided medical care and nurses for the babies,
secureu suitable food and classified ail the reuigtes o
prevent the separation of n.embers of the same family.
Was that money well spent?
Were those babies worth while? Well, how much were
they worth per baby?
They are the future of Francethe hope and plrdge of
civilization We are in their' debt for what their fathers
and mothers have pail already-in hunger, in cold, in
Snutilation, in tbvtry.
We shall pay up too. Your f rst installment was there
in time - i.ow how much?
Frst of the American army-they diel in France!
Gresham! Enright! Hay! They died for us. And
willingly- But not, pray God, in vain.
For the sake of tnerr, if for no other reason, will you
not give to the Red Cross. Which will care for the men that
follow them? ,
For the sake of w hat they died for, wi
and give till the heart says stop?'1
you not give
None of us h re can give as greatly as they gave and
as others are yet to give. P,ut cr.n we not sacrifice ourselves
a little? Will you take a little frpm the comforts of your
life and give, not a mere ''conscience gift" that salves jour
pride and lets you say to yourself: 'i have given to the
Red Cross" but a gift that cutsdown into the quick a'id
hurts because it makes jou deny yourself?
Remember they gave till they died.
