OUT OF MANY RACES RED CROSS MAKES ONE

ONE of the greatest services which the Red Cross is performing in this war is the unification of the many races of which America is composed through the Home Service, which, through its 10,000 committees, is looking after the welfare of the soldiers’ families in every corner of the country. America lias always been called the Melting Pot, and truly, but the process has been slow. The war has accelerated it.' The Indians of the West, the negroes of the south, the Italians and Eastern Europeans of our industrial centers, the Mexicans of the Southwest, Armenians and Swedesand Norwegians and Japanese and Icelanders—all are now enlisted under one flag, and were whole heartedly in the War because it was America’s war and they are Americans. That they feel this is patent to those Who have seen and talked with these men. Witness the Italian, who in the assembly hall of one of our mobilization camps was waiting with a group of his fellows to take the oath of allegiance. He stepped forward suddenly with tears in his eyes and with a vivid gesture pressed a corner of the ’American flag that hung ‘over the desk !ln front of him to his lips. A group of born soldiers who had been looking on with amused indifference (broke into applause and cheers. From ithen on these Italians were their Americans. Such work as this is valuable not ‘only for the morale of the men; it is binding the nation into one organic whole as it has never been bound before. To give 'concrete expression ro this unity the Red Cross plans through 'its Christmas Roll Call, to be held the Week beginning December 10, to increase its membership from 22,000,000 to the limit of available membership. It wishes to give in this way nojtlce to the world that every American, Irrespective of creed or birth, stands 'squarely and uncompromisingly for the principles for which we have been fighting—that America is one and Indivisible pledged solidly for hjuor and gnercy and good faith.

SICK FOLKS HUSTLE FOR THE RED CROSS

through the National Tuberculosis (Association and the Journal of the Outfdoor Life, its official magazine, a campaign Is being organized to get tuberculosis patients of the country to enlist every fellow “cure chaser” as a C ember of the Red Cross during the mlng Red Cross Christmas Roll Call. I Special campaigns have been organised in alt of the large sanatoria, of Jwhlch there are nearly 600 scattered throughout the United State*. Efforts prill be made to enroll one hundred war cent in each institution and also

< go after all patients and enroll fnem as well. Every patient In the sanatorium will be responsible to get one more patient. The movement will be a contribution of the tuberculosis patients of the country to the Red Cross. Since the National Tuberculosis Association and Its affiliated agencies are being supported by the Red Cross through direct appropriation during the year 1919, this effort of the tuberculosis patients is considered to be an unusually appropriate one.

RED CROSS CARRIES TONS OF FOOD TO BELGIANS

American Red Cross trucks are constantly in action along the Belgian front. This report of the work of these trucks was recently received by the Commission for Belgium: “In the last two weeks we handled 240 tons of foodstuffs and a large quantity of salvaged material. “We have been saving the effects of people in the shelled towns, Furnes, Abeele, Coxyde, La Panne, Alverlnghem, Oost-Dunrlck, the Trappist Farm, St. Jeanle-Biezen and Renlngbelst. On nearly all occasions when work wms in progress in the last named It has been shelled, but fortunately without injuries to trucks or-drivers.”

For Better Drinking Water.

Because of the becesslty for better drinking water In Italy the American Red Cross is manufacturing a large number of water sterilizers and disinfecting plants which are to be turned over to the Italian military authorities at Rome and used according to their discretion.

WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because of limited room on the transports the Army has now barred comfort kits from the personal baggage of soldiers. However, since these have furnished such real comfort and pleasure to our boys, the American Red Cross Is arranging for as large freight shipments of these as possible to be distributed through Its Foreign Commissions. For these have made universal appeal. One big burly soldier boy was as pleased as punch over some simple puzzle that had been slipped Into the bag he drew. Still another Instance Is told of a soldier boy who came from the trench covered with grime and dirt and with not even as much as a toothbrush- In his possgsslon. When he was handed a comfort kit with comb, brush and even a toothbrush his joy knew no bounds, and he Immediately made a mental allotment from his next pay day to go to the American Red Cross, which had proved his friend In his hour of need. rou can still buy a good rub-ber-tipped lead pencil for a nickel in The Democrat’s fancy stationery and office supply department.

RED CROSS AIDS FARMING IN ITALY

Through efforts of the American Red Cross scientific farming is now being taught the younger generation of Italy, thus eliminating, considerable waste arid replacing old-fashioned Implements with modern American-made machinery. Schools of agriculture have been established, and the Department of Civil Affairs of the American, Red Cross, co-operating with a similar Italian organization, known as the “Comitato per gli Orfanl de Constadinl Mortl In Guerra,” has opened a school of farming, conducted by Salesian Fathers, In fields jusC outside the Porta Furba, one of the historic-gateways of Rome. The boys of the school, all orphans of peasant soldiers, are given training in scientific and practice’ farming, the object being to strengthen their attachment to the soil, also to convert them into good and intelligent farmers. Lectures and classroom instruction are accompanied by field work with modern tools under the direct supervision of the younger Fathers of the institution, who work side by side with the boys in the fields, teaching and demonstrating.

BISHOP JOHN J. O’CONNOR TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL

Bishop John J. O’Connor of Newark thus expresses his approval of the Red Cross Christmas roll call: “A citizen of the United States can offer no valid excuse for failure to enroll himself in the American Red Crosg Society. An organization whose one great principle is humanity has the right to call all men to Its standard. The Red Cross appeals to the common human in us. It alms at giving fine words, like sympathy and pity and mercy, some practical value. The world has waited a long time for an organization which could give to vague feelings of sympathy wide, practical application. The American Red Cross fulfills every requirement of a broadly humanitarian association. It accepts only universally admitted principles. It limits Its operations to no particular class. It sides with no party. It asks of its members but two things—that they have pity on suffering wherever found and that they have the will to relieve misfortune. "" “The appeal of the Red Cross for an Increased membership should be Insfriutly heeded. The man who fails to heed this call places himself outside the pale. He does not feel with his native land. He Is not one with his kind. Here is our opportunity to join in a work which gives to religion and It* teaching present vajug. Place your

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

George B. Scott, general manager of the American Red Cross, thus explains the necessity for the Christmas Roll Call: “The response that the people of the United States make when the Christmas Roll Call summons them to a universal membership In the American Red Cross will, if that response is nation wide, accomplish these things: "It will give exalted purpose and high resolve to the Soldiers and Sailors of America. “It will give encouragement and renewed devotion to those who are working here at home. “It will give Inspiration and courage to those of our people who are laboring overseas.”

The convalescent soldiers are being cared for In Italy by the American Red Cross. There are sixteen hospitals already In operation and twenty-nine others In process of construction. At these hospitals, in addition to the care of their wounds and their general health, the soldiers are being taught useful trades. There are typewriters, sewing machines and tools for cabinet making at each hospital, and the soldiers find that, In addition to supplying them with a useful trade when they are well, the use of these “toys” gives them hours of pleasure during the tedious period of getting well.

TUBtKUULUSIS FIGHIERS JOIN WITH RED CROSS Fifteen , hundred antl-tuberculosts associations In every state in the Union have set aside their ordinary work and are giving their time and attention during the next month to the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call, according to an announcement from the headquarters of the National Tuberculosis Association. Instead of the usual sale of Red Cross Seals which has been Sohducted for the last ten years jointly by tile National Tuberculosis Association and the American Red Cross, this coming year the tuberculosis movement will be supported by a direct appropriation of $2,500,000 from the Red Cross, and in turn all of ttie machinery of the tuberculosis campaign will be turned into helping swell the membership of the American Red Cross in an effort to enroll every man and woman in the country. In every state there Is a well organized state organization, and under It there are strong local branches. These trained workers will co-operate with the Red Cross chapters in their community and will endeavor to organize their districts so that no one can escape solicitation. Universal membership in the Red Cross will be the alm. Every farmer wno owns his farm ought to have printed stationery with his name and the name of his postoffice properly given. The prin* ed heading might also give the names of whatever crops he special izes In or his specialties in stock Neatly printed stationery gives you personality and a standing with any person or firm to whom you write r.Jd insures the proper reading •! your name and address.
