Wonderful Achievement. >•
The wonderful achievement of en-
("rolling one-fifth of the entire popula-
tion of the United Staten an members „
of the Red Cross is lees a triumph
than it is a call to greater service, ac-
cording to Henry P. Davison, chair-
man of the War Council of the Red
Crosa, who pointed out that,treater
service and sacrifice must be the
watch word of the 22,000,000 mem-
bers of this, the greatest organisation
of its kind the world has ever known.
Davison recently said in a telegram to
George W. Simmons, manager of the
Southwestern division of the Red -
Cross;. .
TTEe latest reports available Indl- J
cate that the Christinas drlva for 10.-
