I e mm rz 11 tie Greatest Motlteer Ii Tie Sfor M CTRETCHING forth her hands to all in need; to Jew or Gentile, black or white; knowing no favorite, yet favoring all. Ready and eager to comfort at a time when com fort is most needed. Helping the little home that's crushed beneath an iron hand, by showing mercy in a healthy; human way; re-building it, in fact, with stone on stone; replenishing empty bins and empty cupboards; bringing warmth to hearts and heart hstoo long neglected. Seeing all things with a mother's seventh sense that's blind to jealously and meanness; seeing men in their true light as naughty children snatching, biting, bitter but with a hidden side that's quickest touched by mercy. Reaching out her hands across the sea to No Man's Land to cheer with warmer comforts thousands who must stand and wait in stenched and crawling holes and watersoaked entrenchments where cold and wet bite deeper, so they write, than Boche steel or lead. She's warming thousands, feeding thousands, heal ing thousands from her store; the Greatest Mother in the World the Red Cross. Your help is needed give till the heart says stop. Every cent of every dollar received for the Bed Cross War Fund goes for War Belief The Red Cross is the largest and most effi cient organization for the relief of suffering that the world has ever seen. It is made up almost entirely of volunteer workers, the higher executives being without exception men accustomed to large affairs, who are in almost all cases giving their services without pay. It is supported entirely by its membership fees and by voluntary contributions. It is today bringing relief to suffering hu manity, both military and civil, in every War torn allied country. It plans tomorrow to help in the work of res toration throughout the world. It feeds and clothes entire populations in times of great calamity. It is there to help your soldier boy in his time of need. With its thousands of workers, its tremen dous stores and smooth running transportation facilities, it is serving as America's advance guard and thus helping to win the war. Congress authorizes it. President Wilson heads it. The War Department audits its accounts. Your Army, your Navy and your Allies en thusiastically endorse it. Twenty-two million Americans have joined it.
