AN APPEAL TO YOU
Camden Must Raise $500.00 For
The American Red Cross
This Week.
~r ? - f ; . Jf ' .,*?>.-.7;^. i
To understand why the American Ited Cross needs no much' money
it uiut^t lie remeurl>ered tliat it has h work to do for ocir allies as
well as for the great army of American soldiers and sailors now
'being mobilized for service in the war against Germany. It will
only he a few months until we have an army of?a million men and
a navy of a hundred and fifty thousand .men. It Js the tank of
rhe Red Cross to care for these men when they are sick and wound
ed. The Red Cross must care also for the distressed of other
v countries. It must aid lu combating tuberculosis, which, has In
come prevalent in France,, as a result of trench warfare. It mu?t
look after the homeless in the fifteen hundred towns aud villages
of France which have been iaid"~1srffBtew It must lend its aid to
alUcted Russia,'where on a line of a thousand miles there arc
- only 6,000 ambulances, a? against 64,000 on the French front of
fpur hundred miles. All. its resources will be taxed, no matter
how generous the response of the American people to the appeal
now being made.
President Wilson has proclaimed the week of June 18-25. as "Red
Cross Week. He has designated some of the foremost business
and professional men in the United State* to lend InTthe campaign
for the #100,000,000 war fund which the KM Cross needs.
Last Sunday In Camden at- the various churches envelopes were
given out for the purpose of a free will offering, the envelope to
lie returned Sunday, June 24th. All churches inr Camden, both
white and colored -will receive the returns next Sunday.
t'amden Is asked for $000.00. and Candeu Is going to raise tills
amount. -We will do it with very little efTort if you and . I will
do our bit.
In a letter to the Red Cross/ descrlldng the suffering which the
. Red Cross desires to alleviate, a young American Red Cross work
er in France, telling of hospital life dnrlng the buttle at Verdun
i.v?;
x:
"In the lied fiearest the door, a French priest, shot through the
lungs?with pneumonia setting In?his block lieard jioluted straight
up, and whispering for water. Next to him, a little German lad.
hardly nineteen and small with aliout six hours to live, calling
sometimes screaming for his mother, ami then for water. Next
to him a French captain of infantry with his arm off at the shoul
der and Ids head Wounded,, weak, dying, hat smiling; and next
to him a French soldier in delirium calling On his Colonel to charge
the Hermans."
As soon as our force* !>egiu to get <s? the tiring line, there too
will be the cry and moail of BEe American. Will we wait for the
cry of oar loved ones before we realize that there Is real suffering?
Surely those of us who do not have to face the cannon can give
our mite and help win the war by putting otfr men back on the*
firing Jine instead of filling the hospitals to stay filled. a -r
If yoii don't find an'euvefope/next time you have a piece of*
money to donate, put ft In one of the Red Cross boxes at the drug
*tor??t.
