WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1918 ° War Emergency Notes (Continued from Page Five.) to take, what the English soldiers call a "nice blighty". I am feeling fine and this afternoon took a short walk but found that I tired quickly. But that was because I had been lying down most of sever- al days. With love to all, Harold. Captain Harold W. Snell, Co. K, 310th Infantry, 78th Division. Mr. Hoover's Letter to the American People Again in full confidence, I call upon the American people to set aside Sunday, December 1, and the week America's opportunity for renewed service and sacrifice. Last summer, when the military situation was acute, we assured the Inter-Allied Food Conference in Lon- ~ don, that whatever the war-food pro- ~ gram of the Allies required we were prepared to meet; that the Confer- ence need not consider whether or not we had the supplies,--we were prepared to find them; we pledged ourselves, by the voluntary economy of our people, to have the reserves in food to supply all necessities. The ending of the War does not release us from the pledge. The same popula- tions must be fed, and until another season has passed they cannot feed themselves. The change in the foreign situation necessarily alters the details of our food program, because the freeing of the seas from the submarine menace, renders accessible the wheat supplies of India, Australia and the Argentine. The total food demand upon the ~ United States is not diminished, how- ever, On the contrary, it is increas- ed. In addition to the supplying of those to whom we are already pledg- ed, we now have the splendid oppor- tunity and obligation of meeting the ~ needs of those millions of people in the hitherto occupied territories who are facing actual starvation. The ~ people of Belgium, Northern France, Serbia, Roumania, Montenegro, Po- land, Russia and Armenia rely upon America for immediate aid. We must 'also participate in the preservation the newly liberated nations in Austria; nor can we ignore the effect on the future world developments of ~ a famiine condition among those other people whom we have recently released from our enemies. All these considerations mean that upwards of 200 million people, in addition to those we are already pledged to serve, are now looking to us in their misery and famine. Our appeal to- day is therefore larger than the for- " mer appeal to the "war conscience" of our people. The new appeal is to the "world conscience", which must | be the guiding inspiration of our future program. The determining factor for the suc- ' cess of such an enlarged appeal will _be the vivid consciousness in every | individual in each community of ob- ligation and opportunity. It is that . common recognition of obligation that we now wish to create. Such ' an intelligent "world conscience" in ~ the American people must be the main dependence of the stricken countries of the world until normal conditions are once more restored. America by her participation in the war has accomplished her objectives of self-defense and of vindicating the efficiency of a government in which the people, and the people only, are sovereign. She has established the foundations of government by the people throughout the enemy coun- tries, and this is the bulwark of world peace. We have yet to build on these foundations. No govern- ment no rnation can stand if its following, for the consideration of people are starving. We must do our part if the world be not consumed in a flame of anarchy. The American people, in this most critical period of their history, have 'the 'opportunity to demonstrate not only their ability to assist in estab- lishing peace o nearth, but also their consecration, by self-denial, to the cause of suffering humanity.

RED CROSS SEALS NOT TO BE PLACED ON SALE THIS YEAR Annual Clearance Sale UR Annual Clearance Sale of early winter apparel will be held during the month of December--including many of this season's coats, dresses and hats for women, misses and children at the season's largest reductions. This sale in December takes the place of our regular January sale on account of our removal to the North 'Shore Hotel corner on January 1st. Red Cross Christmas seals will not be sold in America this year accord- ing to the long established custom. Instead, they are to be awarded in blocks of ten to each member of the Red Cross obtained during the "roll call" this month. Notice to this effect has been sent by the Illinois Tuberculosis associa- tion to each of its affiliated societies in the state. Similar notice has also been sent by the Red Cross to every local chapter in Illinois. In former years these cheery little Christmas stickers have been sold at one cent each, and the proceeds from the sale have been used to finance the work of the national, state and local tuberculosis organizations. During the last seal campaign in 1917, more than 16,000,000 seals were sold in Illinois and the fund has been | RZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ7727777777277 ell Tan i ha een REAL B ARG AINS IN SLIGHTLY USED CARS HTH] THE CHILDREN'S SHOP 613 Davis Street Evanston : : : Illinois LZ ALIS LS SAS IES SST ATS IIIS SIS SILLS SSIS SFIS SL SIS LSS LISS SL LS LSS SLL L SSS SLL SSS SSS SSS SISSY 4 state. For the coming year, however, this work in Illinois and throughout the country, is to be financed through a direct appropriation from the Red Cross under an agreement reached several months ago by the Red Cross and the National Tuberculosis asso- ciation as a war-time necessity. In carrying out the agreement, all the tuberculosis agencies have placed their office and field staff at the dis- posal of the Red Cross in its effort to make the coming membership drive an unqualified success. Each new member of the Red Cross obtained during the coming drive, and each old member who renews his subscription, is to be presented with ten Red Cross seals and a folder which will outline the importance of tuberculosis work both as a war time and a peace time necessity.
