WILSON ISSUES APPEAL FOR RED CROSS SUPPORT mericans Cannot Fold Hands Because Peace Has "Come, Says Proclamation of President. Three Shipments of Letters Are Coming PARIS, Dec.9. Three shipments of home-bound mail from the American army totaling 8,500,000 letters, left France between November 26 and De cember 2. The previous week's mall numbered 6,000,000 letters. The In crease is 'believed to be due to the "father's letters" -which the men In the army had been asked to write on No-1 vember 24. . , WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. President Wilson. In a proclamation made pub lic 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 gov ernment 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 story of how tho Red Cross workers restor ed 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 con clusively to an attentive world that America is permanently aroused to the needs of the new era, our old indiffer ence gone forever. "The exact nature of, the future ser vice 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, return ing 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, con scious 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.
