, Ivir. Editor:—The Fairfield
Auxiliary of the American Red
Cross wishes, through,your col
umns, to express its appreiation
of the g*»uerous response on the
part of the people of Fairfield
and vicinity, and of -the cb-oper
ation with which we have so far
met in our effort to “do our bit”
in tbe great work of humanity
this organization is now engag
ed upon.
Since the very recent organiza-
tion of the Fairfield Auxiliary,
we have raised from all sources
the sum of $90 64. A small sum
it is tree when wc contemplate
the vast sum needed, yet with
this we have already begun tbe
work, having purchased certain
materials from which we pur-
pose making many of those arti-
cles most needed for the use of
soldiers at the front.
There are many articles of
wearing apparel such as sweat-
ers, socks, pajamas,—many toi
let articles, all absolutely essen-
tial and necessary to tbe com-
fort of our soldiers; many sup
plies, such as bandages, medi
cines, etc , needed in the hospi-
tals and camps, that our govern
meet is unable to assemble to-
gether and supply as rapidly as
needed and is therefore depend-
ing upon the Red Cross to fur-
nish. TOTS we can and must do.

manity in which our country is
w»U “do hi- bit,” the great aim now engaged?
and purpose of our organization
will be attained, the expecta
tion of our government realized.
To help in this great work of
humanity is not only tbe solemn
duty of every loyal American
citizen, but should, under tbe
conditions now existing, be
deemed % sacred privilege.
When we view the picture of
ruin and desolation as it exists
in Europe today, ean we hesi-
tate? The whole of eastern
France, the garden spot of
Europe,^that onoe bloomed and
blossomed as a rose, now one
vast ebarnei bouse of dead—
made bare and desolate by the
mailed hand of the terrible ged
of War; Belgium with all her
rare treasures of art, plundered,
her beautiful cities, her stately
cathedrals„ demolished, ruined,
the country bleeding at every
pore, prostrate under the iron
heeJ of German militarism;
when wa read of these, of the
horrible atrocities, the barbaric
cruelties of the merciless invad
er, and realize that the world is
looking to us as a nation to
bring an end to such conditions,
to end this w«r bring about
a universal peace, can we fail to «*■
do our part? Can any man with
red blood in his veins, or any
woman whose heart beats in
sympathy with those in distress
fall to do hunof her best in this bit.”
great and righteous war for hu-j
We have entered this war to
the end. It is our war and we
must win. The cause of human-
ity demands it, the very perpetui-
ty of our existence as a nation
demands it.
We cannot all serve as sol-
diers at the front, but we can,
each and everyone of us, do
something for the c&re and com-
fort of those gallant boys who
are to fight for us and in our
stead; for those Aoldiers of osrs
who are to carry the stars and
stripes to victory on foreign
fields, to battle, to die if need be,
for the liberty we now enjoy and
that tbe world may have here-
after universal peace.
When the curtain falls upon
this great world’s drama now
heiog played, and history re-
cords the part our nation took
therein, it will be a source of
pride to each and everyone of us
to recall that we did something.
You can help today by joining
the Red Cross. Won’t you “do
your bit?” Every man and wo-
man in this community should
belong to this organization. It
will make you a better, a more
patriotic citizen, a happier man
Let us make the
Fairfield Auxiliary, if not the
largest, one of the livest, most
enthusiastic in all the country.
Join today and thereby “’do your
