As patriotism seems to be the key note mounding through all public gath erings, and is being discussed in all our publications at present, perhaps it will be of interest to tho Salem pub lic to know what the Salem Patriotic league has accomplished, and is accom plishing at the present time. This is all the more necessary as so many per sons seem to think that the Red Cross has relieved tho Patriotic league from all necessity for its particular work. This may be true to some extent, but tho noble work of the Red Cross is of broader scope and while a most valu able and reliable aid in local and na tional calamities, or iu its helpfulness in peace and war, it does not do the particular local work of the Salem Pa triotic league. The chapter of tho Red Cross is nob ly doing its own work and the Patri otic league was one of the first to or ganize an auxiliary in Red Cross work. There is perfect harmony in their work. But the question is so often asked as to the necessity of the work of the Pa triotic league where the Red Cross work is being carried on, that perhaps a sort of explanation is necessary. The actual demand for the work of" Salem Patriotic league has been greater than ever before, and in its activities local people are more directly interested, as its particular work is contributions to the comfort and necessities of Company M, and other Salem men now in the field, whether they are in the navy or at the Presidio.
