APPEAL FOR HELP FROM ALL WORLD IS THE MET Duties of America In Relief Will Not Stop With Peace Predicts Red Cross Head. NEW YORK, De. 2. Prediction that there will be such distress in the world this winter that it cannot be met by volunteer organizations and that governments must bear the chief burden was made today by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the War Council of the American Red Cross, who has Just returned from a threemonths' trip in Europe. Mr. Davison inepected the Red Cross activities in England, France, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland. "That there will be an appealing cry of humanity from all over the world no one can doubt," said Mr. Davison. "The needs of France, Belglum, Italy, Russia and the Balkans will not terminate with the formal declaration of peace. A hard winter is ahead. Exposure and the hardships of war and dislocated Industrial conditions of tho world have produced hunger, want and disease. "Politically the outlook for a new pnd better world is bright, but the economic conditions are ominous. There will be such distress in the world that It cannot be met by voluntary organizations. Governments themselves must bear the chief burden, and I am confident that co-opera-tlou between the governments may be relied upon in an endeaver to meet this wholesale work of relief wnich will be noeded. "In addition to this, there will, however, be the necessity and opportunity foi supplementary work which Red Cross organizations throughout the world can do, should do and must do. Certainly the women of America, working through the Red Cross Chapters, and the women in other countries able to-do similar work, will find their hearts dictating more than thrir hands can do. I hope no woman will think of relaxing activity, her endeavor to meet the calls for supplies of whatever character as issued from Red Cross headquarters at Washington until a comprehensive and definite program may be worked out. Red Cross Is Rtady. "Whatever plans may be developed by governments, whatever calls may bt made upon the Red Cross organisations of the world to supplement the work of the governments, it is clear that the American Red Cross must be kept strong and efficient, that it may do its share in full measure. "As the world now finds itself, the people of America are in a position to do most, the people of America are looked to for the most, and, in my opinion, the people of America owe the most to Buffering humanity. "As far as can now be foreseen, there will' "be 'no further occasion for crmpaigns for Red Cross funds. During the week before Christmas there is to be a Roll Call, giving ever citizen an opportunity to register as a member of the volunteer humanita

rian agency for the American people, which is recognized throughout the world as the American Red Cross. This membership involves no commitment beyond the payment of one dollar." Summarizing the American Red Cross work In foreign countries, Mr. Davison said: "More than 47,000,000 American people subscribed to the American lied Cross with a period of 11 months a total aggregation of $313,000,000 in money, and contributed manufactured gooda of an estimated value of approximately $44,000,000. "After rather extensive journeys in England, Belgium, France, Skltzer-li-nd and Italy, I can report to the American people that wherever our troops have been fighting, the American Red Cross has been with them, conveying to them in spirit, word, act and fact the benefits of our organization, whose efficient work has been made possible by the volunteer service of the people of America. And Given Soldiers. "A large American Red Cross force is working with our troops in England, and a yet larger force in France, where a personnel of 18 In June, 1917, has developed into an organization of more than 7,000 men and women. Our other commissions, though smaller, are equally effective' in their various fields of operations. "la fchort, our American battalions, wherever they may be, are receiving devoted service from American Red Cross. Mr. Davison quoted among others (he following statements of American and other military officers and of government officials abroad to show what the American Red Cross has done for armies and nations in the theatre of war: Iiy Ceneral Pershlne.

in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces: "I want every man, woman and child who has contributed even a dime in money or an hour of work to the Red Cross to understand that such contribution has helped to meet the needs of our country's soldiers. The value of the service is beyond computation." By General Ireland, Chief Surgeon of the American Expeditionary Forces "The efficiency of the American Red Cross organization has been a constant source of surprise and satisfaction to me and to the members of my staff. Always ready, always willing, immediately, and effectively responding to every call, they have rendered an essential service to our men the value of which can never fully be known." General Biddle, in command of the American land forces in Great Britain "Everywhere the Red Cross is giving the best that can be given or asked for. We in the Army all feel a gratitude to the Red Cross which it is bard for me to express in words." French Praise Service. Vice Admiral Sims, in command of the American Naval Forces in British waters "When our men are sick or wounded we need quick action unhampered and free. That is where the Red Cross comes to the front. Disasters like the 'Otranto' show how valuable is Its work. When an emergency turns up, we somtimes have not the facilities, sometimes not the legal authority to do all that we ought to do. The Red Cross man can make a law as quick as you can write a check. The Red Cross is ever present to help in time of trouble." Marshal Petain, Commander-in-Chief of the French armies "When the story of this war is written there will be no more brilliant chapter than that of the American Red Cross in France. Nothing has contributed more to the morale of my soldiers and to the people of France than the work of that organization. Some day I shall go to America for the express purpose of acknowledging to their members and to the American people the debt of gratitude we owe." Mr. Davison adds: "When President Poincaire decorated me with the Commander's Cross of the National Order of the Legion of Honor, and King Victor Emmanuel with the Order of Grand Officer of the Crown of Italy, and King Albert of Belgium with the Cross of Commander of the Order of Leopold, each the highest distinction that can be conferred on a civilian, I was in each instance directed to express to the American people the appreciation of the government represented by its officers and its people, and to let our American people know how much the great work done by the American Red Cross has meant to the countries which were conferring the distinction. "In listening to such tributes, which have been multiplied all over Europe and Italy, I have always wished that the millions of workers of American Red Cross were with me to hear what the officials were saying and hear the spontaneous applause with which their utterances were, greeted by the people whom they represented. These tributes were meanf for the entire Red Cross' membership. a"In such universal testimony is the t-i

Good Will Eiwi a Rtew Inpstis

A statement of Dodge Brothers war activities is due the owners of their cars. Dodge Brothers refrained, during the progress of the war, from any reference to the performance of the car in Government service. It seems proper now, however, to disclose the facts, because they are creditable facts -intensifying that good will which owners of Dodge Brothers cars have always manifested. Dodge Brothers car was the only one of its class approved and adopted by the War Department. In a separate Ordance Works, built especially for the purpose, costing millions of dollars and employing thousands of their skilled motor workmen. Dodge Brothers undertook an important duty designated by the War Department. Without the aid of their great motor organization, Dodge Brothers could not have fulfilled the heavy obligation which they were asked to assume by the Ordnance Department. The other service required of Dodge Brothers motor works, by the Government, was to continue to furnish their cars as they were needed.

They were furnished, not in Hundreds, but in thousands both for the training camps here, and for service in Belgium, France and Italy. The record of those thousands of camp and army cars is one in which any owner may feel the utmost pride and satisfaction. Their performance Justified the com pliment implied in their seection by the Government. The great works in which' nearly three hundred thousand of their cars have been produced in the past four years furnished a vast store-house of human energy and equipment for the ordnance work. Naturally, it will take time to adjust the motor works to its full accustomed activity. Gradually Dodge Brothers will resume the grateful task of continuing to deserve the good will of America-and indeed of the whole world. ' Dodge Brothers consider good will their most valuable possession. They will never knowingly do anything to lessen it.
