MY DEAR GIRLSF- a Far away from urs-and yet so near, so very near--that the red tide of its horrors is creeping close to our feet, the great struggle between Might and Right o'ershadows the littleness of our individual deeds. This is a time for united action, for the complete effacement of self, for the giving of the single thought that we may create a national conscience, a national resolve, a national victory. There is but one way, a hard one-to do this, it is the long road of self-denial, of self-dis- cipline, of self-forgetfulness, but it will lead to ultimate supremacy. You have been trained in the ways of service-daily have you prayed for strength and peace. Under the sheltering folds of your Hag, daily have you prayed that it may triumph in the right and truth, and in your salute to it you have ended with the immortal words the emblem of liberty, the hope of the worldf' Through it and for it you, the younger generation of our nation, bring the only hope of peace that is left in this tragedy of all timesg therefore, the urgent need of earnest pur- pose, of sincere endeavor, of continued effort, of a patience and a courage and a fortitude born of a great crisis and strengthened from on High. Upon your service Hag are sixty-eight stars. This tells its own story of the sacrifice some of us may be called upon to make. Those stars must tell you always of the needs ofthe Red Cross-the need of ready hands, skilled and gentle, the need of willing feet to run its errands of mercy, the need of calm, poised minds to carry out its demands, the need of tender, pitiful hearts to bear the burdens of the world-wide anguish that its mercy would allay, most of all, the need ofthe spirit of volunteer service and sacrifice. May you go out armed in the knowledge of your duty, brave and uncom- plaining in the doing, so that in the days to be, when peace shall come upon the earth again, the solemn comfort may lie in your hearts that in all this regeneration you have done your utmost, every day. I would wish for you throughout the years, that you may be as free from any shadow of this tragedy as you are today, but should this not be, I pray that you may be brave in sorrow, and when all these days are past, you may be upheld by the consciousness of individual sacrifice for the cause of all. Always in earnest interest and affection. YOUR FRIEND, f awf! WORKS AND DAYS I
