THEM H [ kTRIOTIC SUPPORT 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." * * * * * * * * * . * * * * * * * 1* * * * * * * * AT THE THEATERS # f S * "I I S# *4# # * TODAY Majestic-Lois Meredith In at Auction." Orpheum-Marie Doro in and Won." Also Holmes els.

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.

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.
