WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. President Wilson. In a proclamation made public today, calls on every American to Join the American Red Cross during Christmas roll-call week, December 16 to 23, "and thus send forth to tho .whole human family the Christmas greeting for which it waits, and for which it stands In greatest need." The proclamation, prepared before the president departed for Europe, follows: "To the American People: "One year ago 22,000,000 Americans, by enrolling as members of the Red Cross at Christmas time, sent to the men who were fighting our battles overseas a stimulating message of cheer and good will. They made It clear that our people were of their own freo choice united with their government in the determination not only to wage war with the Instruments of destruction, but also by every means In their power to repay the ravages of the Invader and sustain and renew the spirit of the army and of the homes which they represent. "The friends of the American Red Cross In Italy, Belgium and France have told and will tell again the storyof how tho Red Cross workers restored morale In the hospitals, in . the camps and at the cantonments, and we ought to be very proud that we have been permitted to be of service to those whose sufferings and whose glory are the heritage of humanity." "Now, by God's grace, the Red Cross Christmas message of 1918 is to be a ' message of peace as well as a message of good will. But peace does not mean that we ran fold our hands. It means further sacrifice. We must prove conclusively to an attentive world that America is permanently aroused to the needs of the new era, our old indifference gone forever. "The exact nature of, the future service of the Red Cross will depend upon the program of the associated governments, but there is immediate need today for every heartening word ar.d for every helpful service. We must not forget that our soldiers and our sailors are still under orders and still have duties to perform of the highest consequence, andNthat the Red Cross Christmas membership means t great deal to them. The people of the saddened lands, moreover, returning heme today where there are no homes must have the assurance that the hearts of our people are with them In the dark and doubtful days ahead. Let us. so far as we can. help them

back to faith in mercy and future r-

happiness. "As president of the Red Cross, conscious in thi3 great hour of the value of such a message from the American people, I should be glad if every American would Join the Red Cross for 1919, and thus send forth to the whole human family the Christmas greeting for which it waits and for which It stands in greatest need. "WOODROW WILSON."
