Urging the whole country to sup
port the most splendidly constructive
work ever confronted a nation, Col.
! Roosevelt said in part:
"Second only to the Army in the
I work of winning this war comes Red
Cross. Indeed the importance of this
j work is so great that the President
' of the United States has set apart
next week—from June 18 to 25—as
a period for sacrifce and unselfish
generousity, a week in which the
whole American people will be asked
Xo join in raising funds to enable our
Red Cross to perform its vast and
indispensable duties in this war.
; _ "We little realize whait is before
us. Our own sons and brothers will
soon be going into battle. They will
: be 3,000 miles from home, in a land
already wasted by war, a land
threatened by famine, a land smitten
by disease. They tell us that in
many cases today the- wounds of sol
diers in France must be tied up with
newspapers for want of the neces
sary surgical bandages. When our
men are wounded—as they surely
will be in great numbers—are we
going to allow them to suffer yet
more because we fail to provide
those things which can at least miti
gate distress? Surely not. But we
must do it in advance. If we wait it
may be too late. Do it now. Nine
tenths of wisdom is bfeing wise in
time.
"Our Red Cross mutt not only
care for the shattered bodies of our
wounded men; it alone can become a
foster parent to them in the trying
conditions they are sure to face
when they are convalescent from
wounds or recovering from exhaus
tion. We shall soon have an army of
a million soldiers. When they go to
France they must have homes in
which to rest and to be cared for and
to recover. The generousity of our
whole people must make it possible
for our Red Cross to provide for
them.
"In past wars, the Red Cross de
voted itself largely to caring for the
wounded behind the battle line.
Even in this war that duty is still of
vast magnitude and paramount im
portance. All that we do or can do
for the soldiers of our own or our
allied armies will be all too little. But
this is a war in which not only
armiez, but whole people, are engag
ed. In no previous war have the in
nocent non-combatants had to bear
ao terrible a share of its physical j»uf
ferings. And it is through our Red
Cross that we can show to the na
tions of tile world how the great
heart of the American people go
out to them in their distress.
"France—proud, brave, bleeding
from ghastly wounds—neds us sore- !
ly. Tuberculosis is raging through-;
out her land. Fifteen hundred of her,
towns and villages have been razed !
to the ground by the calculated bar-j
barity of the invaders. Millions of
her people are homeless snd starv
ing, bereft even of the barest cover
ings for their bodies, or stove, of
utensils with which to cook or eat,
of agricultural implements or ani
mals—indeed of the simplest ele
ments of civilization. And to us alone
can these people come for help; we
alone have the abundance with
which to supply their direst needs.
"To Russia, too, we must reach
out our helping hand. We little know
what she has suffered and is suffer
ing. Her soldiers went into battle ill
equipped with arms or ammunition.
Of medical supplies she had almost'
none. To care for her wounded on a
battle line of 1,000 miles she has but
6.000 ambulances, while France has
64.000 in a battle line of 400 miles,
and even that is not enough. Russia,
long obedient to autocracy, has not
flinched in this conflict. Her people
have had to struggle not only to free
the world from autocracy, but to
make their own land a land of liber
ty. Russia needs all we can do to
strengthen her courage and to make
her feel that we are indeed behind
her. Our armies can do little for her.
Our Red Cross alone can take into
Russia the message of hope, of help,
of confidence which she so terribly
needs. The message must be practi
cal.

"WAS NOT DRAFTED"
Washington, June 18.—There's a
little spot in Ireland that Michael
McNamara had in his "moind's eye"
for a long time—thirty years, in
fact. All that time Michael was obey
ing orders, drilling, campaigning,
and doing the hundred-and-one
things -that fall to the lot of the
American Mhrine.
Michael finished his time, retiring
with the rank of "Sarjint major, no
less," and went back to that little
spot in County Mayo.
Then came our participation in
the war. Did Michael stay retired?
He did not! He came right back on
the S. S. St. Louis paying his own
fare, and went directly to the U. S.
Marine Corps Headquarters to vol
unteer his services.
McNamara could have signed-up
with some Irish regiment for, des
pite his fifty-odd years, he is still a
"foine broth av a boy." Instead, he
braved the submarines to fight un
der the flag that for thirty years he
had called his own.
Michael has a bit of the stuff of
which loyal Americans and heroes
are made.

PATTERSON GRAYS
DEFEAT COMPANY "C"
The drawing card at Deepwater
Park Sunday was a clash between
the baseball aspirants of Company
"C" and the fast bunch of semi-pros
wearing the Patterson uniform. Th®
Grays carried off the honors by a
score of 7 to 4. A goodly attendance
witnessed the contest and both teams
were favorites with grandstand and
bleachers. Company "C" fans con
ceded the game before it was called
and the four scores netted by the
soldier boys shows that they played
gamely in tjie face of expected de
feat. Moore and Cavanaugh did bat
tery work for the khaki and Ducate
and Olivier for the Grays. Ten hits
were garnered by the Patterson boys
while Olivier donated but seven..

Be Preserved Says Message
to Venizelos
Paris, June 17.—Premier Bibot
has sent the following message to
Eliptherios Venizelos, ex-premier
and head of the provisional govern
ment at Saloniki: "In confiding to
France the mission to take in their
name measures to facilitate the re
turn by the Greek people to the un
ity they helped to found, the pro
tecting powers desired to show that
the principles that inspired them a
century ago, when the heroes of the
war of independence shed their
blood to assure Greece a place
among the free nations, have re
mained unaltered through the vicis
situdes of history.
"W.ho could better appreciate the
concern with which the three pro
tecting powers were animated and
their firm resolution to assure the
destines of Greece in the traditional
path that led to its grandeur than
the eminent leader whose generous
ardor and disinterested courage, no
less than his political foresight, re
newed the internal life of the Greek
people and realized most of their
legitimate desires for expansion?
"Nothing could better respond to
the deepest sentiments of the French
people than to be so intimately as
sociated with the great national
movement which will be pursued with
j the support of the protecting powers
by those who in the difficult hours
i never doubted them and were able
' to prepare for the triumph of free
institutions.'

Washington, June 17.—Herbert
C. Hoover outlined tonight his plans
for enlisting the nation's housewives

vation measures and the elimination
of waste. The women wil be enrolled

Mr. Hoover is proceeding at the
direction of President Wilson, who
without waiting for Congress te en
act the administration food bill, dir
ected him to proceed with organiza
tion of the food administration in
sofar as it contemplates assembling
volunteer effort. "As requested by
the President," says his statement,
"we ask every woman in the United
States engaged in the personal con
trol of food to register for actual
membership in the food administra
tion, thus entering directly into the
national Service. We shall later on
ask various classes of men likewise
engaged in food preparation and
distribution to also volunteer to the
national service in their various
branches.
