Give That Your Brother May Live
The American Red Cross must raise $100,000,000.
It must raise this tremendous sum from the free offering
of the American people.
This means that you must give to the point of serious self-
sacrifice.
You will realize why if you have a real conception of what
this tremendous task means.
The American Red Cross undertaking is literally and actu-
ally a world's work.
We are no longer the United States of America as fa ir as
the war is concerned. We are the United States ofi the
World.
The main idea of this campaign is to arouse you to a
realization of our debt and duty to our world-brothers.
This debt and duty is to raise $100,000,000 more rapidly
than was ever collected before.
This money is to be used to assemble the best trained
talent that America possesses; to get together a great store
of supplies; to provide ships and other transportation; to
start this vast equipment to Europe and to keep it flowing
in a rich current of material into the war-stricken countries
of the world.
America looks to you to raise from your private purses the
vast amount necessary for this work.
It must come from you. There is no other way to get it.
There is no government appropriation for this work.
The other allied countries have given to the point of de-
pletion.
You must give that your brother may live.
The work is no longer one of charity. It is our debt of
honor to the nations that have already given their life's-
blood and their money to OUR war.
The Red Cross works only as the generous-hearted citi-
zens of the United States permit it to work.
It is OUR institution—not our government's.
No matter how many other calls you have had, no other
obligation can be stronger than that of the American Red
Cross. There is no duty that lies so close to your conscience.
You must help those who have helped you until they are
helpless.
If you can't go, you can give.
By giving now, you will strike as deadly a blow at Ger-
many as if you were physically in the trenches. You will
insure the welfare of some of your own who may be there
before long.
You can give in cash, or you can give in four instalments,
payable: One-quarter, July 1, 1917; one-quarter, August 1,
1917; one-quarter, September 1, 1917, and the balance, Octo-
ber 1, 1917.
If you have invested in Liberty Bonds, the Red Cross will
gladly take your bonds in payment of your subscription.
Give for the greater honor and glory of humanity; give
for the future protection of your wife and children and of all
those who are near and dear to you.
Make checks payable to the American Red Cross, 88 Fort
Street West, corner of Wayne. The telephone at Red Cross
Headquarters is Cherry 6530.
