RED CROSS WILL
HELP RUSSIANS

1t is interesting to note that the Rus.
sian Duma has decided to prosecute to
the finish its part of the great war
with Germany.
"The help that will be carried to
Russia by the American Red Cross,
says DR.. J. M. Waugh, twill do much
toward heartening the great Muscovite
army" DIR. Waugh saws:
"A tremendous Russian problem con-
fronts the Red Cross. We have debt
to pay Russia as well as to France.
The situation as regards amelioration
of suffering on the long Russian battle
line is deplorable. On the whole 1000
miles of front there are only 5000 am
balances. Succor must be rushed to
Russia. There are problems of encour-
agement and of material aid confront
ing us there as great in their way as
await us in France. We must be up
and doing all of US, every single
American. Our thought is to go to
Russia with as much relief as we can
assemble. The heartening problem is
very pressing there, as the whole coun-
try must understand by this time. 1t
is especially necessary now that Russia
is in the throes of revolutionary after
math. am firmly convinced that the
Russian democracy can be relied on to
keep its head, to maintain what it has
snatched from autocracy, but it must
be helped, and helped quickly. >"
