The cross which on my arm I wear, The flag which o’er my breast I bear, Is but the sign Of what you’d sacrifice for him Who suffers on the hellish rim Of war’s red line. THE EMBLEM OF HUMAN MERCY By SAMUEL GOMPERS The Red Cross is an emblem typifying human mercy and sympathy. Its mission to relieve phys ical pain and minister to mind and body has given it a place deep in the hearts of all our people. For those whose dear ones are in places of great danger it is a comfort to know that the American Red Cross is per forming more effective service on a larger scale than ever before. In addition to serving our enlisted forces, it is assisting in the work of civil relief among our allies whose soil is being devastated by the fighting. Thus the Red Cross is helping to interpret the constructive spirit of our Republic which holds sacred human life and the ideals it seeks. - As time goes on the scope of the work of the Red Cross in Europe will increase in order that the organization may meet the demands that will be made upon it. It must receive the full and hearty support of the American people. It is only through such an agency that we can be assured relief and necessary ministration to our young men forming our military force. It is my sincere desire that adequate funds will be secured for the work of the Red Cross. mueß sagen RECORD OF ENLISTMENT N ame . ..................

Congress resolved that “the flag of the United States bear 13 stripes, alternate red and white, and that the union be 13 white stars on a blue field.” In 1794 the number of stripes and stars was increased to 15 to include the two states of Vermont and Ken tucky. After several new states had thus been admitted it was seen that this plan of increasing the stripes with the addition of new states would in time cause the national emblem to appear cum brous and unlovely. So in April, 1818 100 years ago—congress restored the 13 stripes to repre CHAQLÊ8 sent the 13 original states and SugHRoC made the stars to stand for the the states. At that time there were 20 states in the Union. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. No definite arrangement of the of the Interior, U. S.
