Future Free From War If America Carries Out Her Pledges, Sayi Executive.
By Mount Clemens News Bureau. (Aboard I'rt'sident s Spociul Train) St. Iouis (Special) Displaying a high confidence tLat hi fellowcitizens in the treat majority agree with him in his desire to cuJ war forever and that they will see to it of Nations inclusion b ratified by the Senate, lYesident V iisoa is making a successful way ams3 the country that the r-eace treaty v. Ith its League on the long journey he has undertaken for the furrcse of laying bofore the plain reople a report of his work in Parts and explaining to item Just what the league means. Thus far in his travels he has everywhere met with warm Rreetings, both in the great halls where he has spoken formally ' and in the little cross road hamlets where his train has halted at times and he has exchanged words with the villagers who pressed forward to greet him. He feels and does not hesitate to say so when hatting with, his travelin-, companions, that the American people want no more of war and want to become part of the league o that there may be no more war. He Ft nick his keynote wl.cn be said in his first address in Columbus. Ohio: "This treaty wan r.ot lnter.de 1
mrrelv to end thi3 slrcle war. It is j
meant as a notice to every government who in the future will attempt thi thing. What Ormany attempted that mankind will unite to inSict the game punihmT.t. The-" i no rational triumph to t recorded in this treaty. There is no glory eoucbt for any particular nation. The thought of the statesmen collected around that table was of their people, of the sufferings they had gone through, of the losses they had in
curred, of that great throbbine heart:
YOUR RED CROSS IS STILL VERY BUSY Read What Your Dollar Is Doing
JUNIORS of today r-.i'ue Tied Croea of tomorrow! In the membership drive during September the Lake Division of the lied Cross wants to enroll 200,000 school children and more, to help the Greatest Mother in the World. Red Cross Juniors have an extensive after-war work to carry out. Junior Membership is only 25 cents. It is taken out in school room units so that every achool child can be a member of the Junior Red Cross. A world of opportunity for helping other chll dren all over the world is oren to Red Croes Juniors. Even as far away as Hawaii children busy in school all day sell coffee by lantern light at night to earn money for their Junior Rnl Cross. The National Children's Fund to which is contributed Junior Memberfhlp fees has a two-fold rurpose. With it. relief is furnished to sufferine children throughout the world and at hom community activities expressing the spirit of the American Red Cross are fostered. In a word the Junior Red Cross alms to establish International understanding and good will among all children; to provide motives for purposeful and useful school activities and to Inculcate Ideals and habits of service.
HOW TO JOIN THE
RED CROSS MRS
UPON application for me?nbershlps schools are rlaced on the department of Junior Membership mailing list at L&ke Division headquarters to receive
the National bulletin issued monthly
by the Department of Junior Membership at Washington. Upon payment of membership fees choolfl receive certificates or renewal card wh'rh are their receipts for membership fees for the current year. Service to others is the arpeal of the Junior Red Cross today. The public school working with the Red Cross is the natural agency for spreading a ecw consciousness of the humanitär. Ian obligation of men. and nations toward each other. .
