Work of Red Cross.
That the very lives of Wisconsin SOL
diers, as we'll as the comfort and care
of their families, may depend directly
upon the generosity with which Wis
consin men, women and children sub
scribe to the war fund for the Amer
lean Red Cross during the campaign
week from June Is to 25 is self evil
dent from the extent of the work
which the nation demands from the
Red Cross, according to o. B. Towne,
general organizer for the National War
Council in the central division of
states. Mr.. Towne, whose headquar-
tiers are in Chicago, is in Wisconsin
assisting with the organization of the
state campaign. This campaign is un-
der the personal direction of S. M
McFedries, state director for the Red
in
ing one Of the thirty-two largest chap
tiers in the United States, has a cam
palgn manager sent direct from Wash
ingtOn.
THE responsibility which the United
States puts on the Red Cross in time
OF war is tremendous and the question
what will be done with this $1OO,O OO,-
600 fund is easily answered" said Mr..
Towne. "The government depends en-
tirely upon the Red Cross for the
equipment and maintenance of all the
base hospitals and convalescent hos.
pitfalls used for the care Of the sick and
wounded soldiers in war time and also
for all its relief work in the homes of
the soldiers
The army medical corps has charge
OF all the dressing stations and field
hospitals but the hospital service back
OF the field is supplied entirely by the
Red Cross, although taken over by the
government modern warfare, with it's
terrible wounds and the horrors of in
lection has made it necessary to sup
plement the regular hospital service of
the army with more extensive equip
ment for the care of the wounded and
