C Before his pres ent illness President Wilson prepared the following message, In which he urges tho people of. the United States to generously respond to the third roll call of the Ited Cross: As president of tho United States and as president of tho American lied Cross I recommend and urge u gen erous responso to the Third Ited Cross Roll Call, which opens on November the second with the observance of lied Cross Sunday und appropriately closes on November tho eleventh, tho first anniversary of the signing of the ar mistice. Twenty million adults Joined tho Ited Cross ( during tho war, prompted by a patriotic deslro to "render service to their country and to the cause for which the United States was engaged In war. Our patriotism should stand the test of p.enco as well as the test of war, and it Is an Intelligently patriotic program which tho Ited Cross pro poses, a continuance of service to our soldiers and sailors, who look to It for many things, and n transference to the problems of peace ut homo of the ex perience und methods which it ac quired during the war. Stress on Membership.

Thu American Red Cross does not purpose Indefinite prolongation of Its relief work ubroad, a policy which would lay an unjust burden upon our own peoplo and tend to rindcrmtnc thu self-reliance of tho peoples relieved, but thero Is a necessary work of com pletion to bo performed before tho American Red Cross can honorably withdraw from Europe.

Program Deserves Support. To finance these operations, to con clude work which was begun during the wnr, and to carry out some com paratively Inexpensive constructive plans for assisting peoples lu eastern Europe to develop their own welfare organizations, tho American Red Cross requires, In addition to membership fees, a sum of money small In compar ison with tho gifts poured Into its treasury by our generous people dur ing tho war, Roth tho greater enduring domestic progrum and tho lessor tompornry for eign program of tho Red Cross do servo enthusiastic Hiipport, nnd I ven ture to hope that Its peace-time mem bcrsblp will exceed rather than fall below 'Its Impressive war membership.
