Special Appeal to Elks. The following s in' part the appeal that has been sent to the various lodges of Elks: The B. P. O. E. has made a splen- did record in all activities. War has been concluded but there remans a| tremendous duty to be performed by the American Red Cross whose ser- vices in the national crisis call for the highest appreciation, Ours is an institution which takes a justifiable in operation with organizations ntly_at work for the general re. “We therefore, are confident in the expectation that every lodge will make a splendid showing .in its united effort with the local chapters of the Red Cross and with the Atlan- tic Division headquarters.” SECRETARY LAN§|NG ENDORSES RED CROSS ROLL CALL The dangers to the health of the world today are so great that every active force to fight them must be kept at its highest efficiency. This is the opinion of Secretary of State Robert Lansing expressed in a staate- ment issued today in behalf of the. Third Red Cross Roll Call that be- ~ins next Sunday throughout the na- tion. “Where a great organization, such as the American Red Cross is today, has been developed to meet the needs of a world of war” says Secretary Lansing, “it would be almost a na- tional calamity to diminish its po- tentiality for the good of mankind by, lessening its activities or by permit- ting public interest in them to lag. 1 wish, therefore, to commentd the plan to maintain the efficiency of the Red Cross at its present high stand- ard and to divert its enterprise and energy, after the demands of war cease, to the relief of suffering and the preservation of health times of peace. The services which can be rendered in a fleld so_ that it seems limitless should, and T believe will, command the hearty and generous support of the American people, for the purpose appeals to patriotism, to humanity, and to commonsense.” b Likewise, Secretary Daniels.
