QED CROSS SOCIETY
UNT AND UNIVERSITY
S EXPRESS APPROVAL
OF ORGAMIZATION
Since the European war the Na-
onal Red Cross society has proved
te most effective organization to al-
viate the suffering of the wounded
; the front. As this nation is rapidly
;proaching a war, the American
ational Red Cross is exerting every,
iluence to complete its organization
r immediate service.
President Wilson, ex-Presidents
aft, and Roosevelt, President Harry
Hutchins of the University and
eans Bates, Cooley, Effinger, Hins-
ale, Lloyd, Vaughan, and Ward have
.1 expressed their approval and com-
.ented favorably on the work of the
ed Cross and what it stands for.
Patriotic and Humne-Wilson
President Wilson says: "A large,
ell organized, and efficient Red Cross
-essential. It is both a patriotic
ad humane service that is rendered
y every citizen who becomes a mem-
er of the American Red Cross."
Taft Commends Plan
Ex-President Taft said: "I hereby
>mmend the plan of our Red Cross
secure a large membership in this
>untry. I hope the American peo-
le will prove as patriotic in this re-
pect as are the people of other na-
ons, so that we may be as well pre-
ared as they to render relief in the
isfortune of war or to mitigate the
ifferings caused by pestilence, fam-
te, fire, floods, mine explosions, and
her great disasters."
All Should Aid-Roosevelt
Ex-President Roosevelt has said:
I hope that all of the patriotic and
umane men, women, and children of
ie United States, who are able to do
>, will give it (the Red Cross), their
apport by becoming members of our
ational organization."
President Hutchins Approves
"I need not say that I am heart
id soul with the Red Cross move-
.ent and that I am delighted to know
at extensive and effective work by
e Ann Arbor chapter is being
lanned. Its efforts should meet with
ie hearty and enthusiastic approval
our citizens.-H. B. Hutchins."
Dean Cooley in Favor
"Considering what the Red Cross
as done, and is doing, both in peace
nd war, and that it is a work which
tose at home can do for those who
re fighting for them at the front, it
ould seem that the opportunity to
in was all that should be necessary.
he fact that in war it is a recognized
art of the machinery of combat will
ake every member of the Red Cross
el that he or she is doing something
help. The only wars that; can be
on to stay won are those in which
e family joins, fathers, sons, broth-
s, and husbands to engage the
Lemy, mothers, daughters, sisters
id wives to back them up.-M. E.
>olev."
ditional arm of defense and so makes
its appeal to patriotism as well as to
philanthropy.-Alfred H. Lloyd."
All Should Unite-Dean Vaughan
"The Red Cross is a humanitarian
movement. It had its birth in the
brain of Henri Dunant, who was deep-
ly impressed by the suffering of the
wounded on the battlefield of Solforipo
in 1859. Dunant gave his fortune, his
time and his energy to this great
work, and finally succeeded in the
Geneva conference in 1863 in induc-
ing the great nations of the world- to
provide for humane treatment of the
wounded on battlefields. The activ-
ities of the Red Cross, however, are
not confined to war, and concern
themselves with pestilences, famine,
disaster, wherever these overwhelm
mankind. Work done by the Red
Cross is an evidence of the existence
of the high spirit of humanity. Its
aims are to instruct us in the intel-
ligent care of suffering man. All
should unite under its colors and
strive to fit themselves for any duty
for which they may be called.-V. C.
Vaughan."

Lambert Defeats
Loucks in JMinute
Michigan's heavyweight wrestling
championship .was won yesterday aft-
ernoon by Lambert, when he threw
Loucks in less than a minute.
The first bout of the day was the
semifinals in the middleweight divis-
ion, but this had to be postponed be-
cause of a dislocated elbow which
Crane received in the first minute of
the match. Planck, last year's run-
nerup was Crane's opponent.
The semifinals of the lightweight
class was won by Troub, champion
two years ago, from Howard, one of
the lightest men entered. The latter
put up a game scrap for five minutes
but was finally downed.
The bouts were held after the con-
clusion of the championship game of
the interscholastic basketball tourna-
mnent, a large crowd staying to see the
grappling.

Dean Ward Hopeful
"I am sincerely hopeful that the
people of this vicinity will not be re-
luctant to assume their share of the
present obligations of the Red Cross
occasioned by the greatest of calam-
ities. They have shown a fine spirit
toward such things before, and I have
confidence in their doing so now.-

All Must Support--Dean Bates
"The Red Cross society, by many
years of conspicuous service to the
nation and to humanity, has proved
its right to the approval and sup-
port of us all, at all times. Now in
the time of the nation's crisis it is
peculiarly well qualified and equipped
to undertake the work of relief, for
which unfortunately we are likely
soon to have urgent need. The local
branch is in loyal and efficient hands,
and we must all give it our sympa-
thetic and active support here and
now.-Henry M. bates."
Appeal Is Wide-Dean Effinger
"In sincerely hope that the effort
to organize an active branch of the
American Red Cross society will meet
with hearty response from students
and faculty, as well as from the citi-
zens of Ann Arbor. The annual' mem-
bership fee is so slight and the work
done by the organization makes so
wide an appeal that there should be
no hesitation. Especially in a com-
munity like Ann Arbor should the
Red Cross society receive generous
support.-John R. Effinger."
Dean Iiinsdale Praises Aims
"The humanitarian aims of the Red
Cross ought to appeal to every per-
son who has at heart the good of his
fellow men, or has any degree of
patriotism at this time when the pub-
lic is agitated about and quite liable
to be engaged in military activities.
This noble and nation-wide movement
will be one of the most valuable
agencies for making more comfort-
able, or relieving the discomfort of
those who may be exposed to the
dangers incident to military experi-
ence.-W. B. Hinsdale."
Arm of Defense-Dean Lloyd
"Of course I approve of the Red
Cross and of Ann Arbor taking her
full part. Aside from the common
humanity of it, for which no word
need be said, the Red Cross is an ad-
