Vice President Makes
Appeal ho Red Cross
(Bv Associated Press)
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26. Indiana haa lust received a plea for continued
iinnnrt to the American Red Cross
from Thomas R. Marshall, vice-presi
dent of the United States.
"The American Red Cross must remain, if the American people are to
discharge the duties incumbent upon them," declared Mr. Marshall. "No man is a true American unless his
heart beats for the sorrows of the un
fortunate which it is the function of
the 'Red Cross to alleviate. There is a mistaken opinion that the Red Cross
had abandoned its overseas work for
alleviation of European suffering. This work should not be abandoned, but all
efforts in that direction should be in the hands of the American Red Cross." EXP0RT8 INCREASE. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.
