C., Nov. 25, 1918. To the American People: One par ago twenty-two million Americans, by enrolling members of the Red Cross at Christmas time, sent to the men who were fighting our battles overseas a stimulating of cheer and good will de it clear that our peopel ere of their own free choice united with their government in the deter- tion not only to wage war with instruments of destruction, but the also by every means in their power to repair the ravages of the invader and «sustain and renew the spirit of the-army and of the homes which they represented. The friends of the American Red Cross in Italy, Bel- gium and France have told, and wil! tell again, the story of how the Red Cross workers restored morale in the hospitals, in the camps, and at the ntonments, and we ‘o t to be very proud that we have been permit- ted to be of service to those whose afferings and whose glory are the heritage of humanity. »w, by God’s grace, the Red Cross Christmas message of 1918 is to be a message of peace as well as a message of good will. But peace not mean that we can fold our arms It means further sacrifice, Our membership must hold together and be increased for the great tasks t We must prove conclus: to an attentive world that Ameri s permanently aroused to the needs of the new era, our old indifference gone forever. The exact nature of the future service of the Red Cross will depend upon the program of the associated governments, but there is immediate | need today for every heartening word and for every helpful service. | We must not forget that our soldiers | and our sailors are still under orders and still have duties to perform of the highest consequence that the Red Cross Christmas embership means a eat deal to them. The people of the saddened lands, more- returning home toda where 2 are no homes, must have the nce that the hearts of our peo- 1] re with them in the dark and doubtful days ahead. Let us, so far as we can, help them back to faith in mercy and in future happiness. 0 ¢ ome. As president of the Red Cross, conscious in this great hour of the value of such a message from the American people, I should be glad if every American would join the Red Cross for 1919, and thus send forth to the who. human family the Christm: greeting for which it waits and for which it greatest need.
