T HE R OL L CALL.

The Chr is tmas Roll Call f or t hi s y ea r 1918 is th eo n ~great an d universal call to th e people 'o f th eU ~ l l ! e d ,States t ~ e n r o l lthemselves in t he g ra nd e stm lD ls hy o f Service that th e world ha s ever known.

Behind th e purpose of w ar t ha t would combat an dd ~ s t r o y ~ ~ e r emust be the complemental force thatwIll conCIlIate an d renew. That force s p ri ng s f ro mth e soul ~ f th e Red C r o s s - i t i s t he N at io n mObilizedfo r ServIce.

. Th e Uni!ed States e nt er ed t he w ar f or the vindi~ a h o nof an Ideal. Th e Red Cross is founded on thatIdeal.. . I t is th e G ~ ' e a t e s tMother in th e Worid, becauseIt IS th e embodIment of unselfish mercy-and unsel~ s h n e s sis t he t es t of Brotherhood-as BrotherhoodIS the te st o f Democracy.

I ~ the days that are to come, when th e conflicta h a y x ~ gended, th e world faces th e vast work of re

buIldIng wha.t ~ a r ha s destroyed-of ga thering thescattered, bnngmg succor to the weak, establishingl a ~ and. o r d ~ r ,where chaos an d confusion haverelgned-:-It wIll be th e Spirit of th e Red Cross inc a ~ n a t eIn a world-wide minis t ry of Service, that ~ h a l lgUIde. the feet of th e nations along th e pathway ofendurmg peace. .

,To enlist ou r people-all of ou r people-in thismIghty Evangel, is th e purpose of th e Christmas RollCall. To have a part in this propaganda of philant h r o P ~ - t obelong to t his Crusade fo r th e commonw.eal, IS a benediction alike t o h im w ho g iv es an d to111m who takes.

Call fo r Wide Expansion of Relief Resu l ts f romGerman Retreat

In France th e r eb 'e at o f the G er ma n a rm ie s a ndth e redemption of wide territory ha s produced a tremendous expansion of all Red Cross act ivi t ie s . Th eGerman retreat widens th e sys tematic dest ruc t ionno t only of cities an d villages, bu t of practicallyevery th ing in th e evacuated terri tory. Houses thatremained were roofless, windowless; th e furnitureha d been removed or destroyed and in th e countrydistr icts farmhouses, h ay -s ta ck s a nd supplies ofgrain were b u rn e d; a g ri c ul t ur a l implements an deverything of possible use to re tu rn Ing iahab it an t sruthlessly destroyed.

The reason fo r this new policy is logical. Th e RedC ross now is so widely known an d so strongly approved that th e goal of th e CHRISTMAS ROLLCALL is nothing short of "Universal Membership."

In other words, th e census figures will be th e nation's

quota.

The Weel{ of December 16-23 wil l see this apparently formidable task accomplished because there willbe an eager spirit of co-operat ion. More than22,000,000 p re se nt m em be rs i n t h e United States willa ns we r " He re ," a n d it is th e hope of the Red CrossWa r Council that treble or quadruple that numberwil l join, and so permit a C h ri st ma s E ve cable toEurope that the Amer ican people ar e solidly behindth e Red Cross spirit.

T HE R ED CROSS CHRISTMAS ROLL C AL L i sno t an effort to raise money an d no o ne will b e asked

fo r contributions. Th e annual membership cost fo ran a du lt i s only one dol lar.

Th e United States undoubtedly ha s as many dollarsfo r th e Red Cross a s t he re a re a du l ts i n population.

Fixing quotas ha s been such a fami l ia r fea ture ofprevious campaigns to sell bonds o r r ai se welfare andrelief funds that th e failure to assign q uo ta s i n th eRed Cross CHRISTMAS R OL L CA LL is arousing

discussion.

T H E T H RE E CROSSES

Th e iron cross is black as d ea th a nd hard as humanhate;

Th e wooden cross is w h it e a n d still an d whispers us"Too late";

Bu t th e Red Cross sings of life an d love an d headsregenerate.
