search work In France; 100000 for
supply warehouses; $1,5OO.OO0 to buy
food stuffs to be sent to France, and
sl,60O.O00 for the hospital supply
service. The transportation problem
with which the Red Cross has had to
cope in moving supplies over seas has
been most difficult, but thru official
French, British and Italian co-opera-
tion with the United States shipping
board and leading steamship and
railroad companies. vast quantities
Of supplies are now shipped almost
daily. A special Red Cross transport
service has been developed In France
as the railroads there are overtaxed
with military needs.
Six base hospitals were sent to
European fronts in advance Of the
American soldiers, and more than a
dozen are now actively in service
there, and others are rapidly being
made ready.
1t Is not the policy of the Red
Cross to rebuild French villages. but
1t Is hoped to afford new starts nj life

along this line is being worked out.

medical and surgical work, and In
other lines of Red Cross effort. Tho
work covers n wide scope OF relief.
from the establishing and maintain
Ing OF hospitals for soldiers In the
American army in France. to civilian
aid, including the care and education
of destitute French children and the
rehabilitation OF the devasted areas
In France and Belgium. Relief and
preventive means against tuberculo-
sis, which has greatly increased since
the war, also will be supplied. A
plan has been devised so to extend
aid to soldiers and civilians held as

only few of the many avenues thru
which Red Cross relief will flow to
the countless thousands Of war VIC
Tins.
The Red Cross in France has as
sumed the management Of the war re-

under control of the United States
army. the administration OF the
American Ambulance hospital at
Neuilly. It has assumed the finan-
cial responsibility for DIR. j. A.

1t has allied itself with the work of
the American Surgical Dressing COM

hospitals.
The effort has been In accordance
with the expressed views OF the Pres
ident of the United States and OF the
civic and military authorities Of
France to coordinate along helpful
lines all relief work being done in
France and America. The first and
the supreme object of the task Ia to
care for our own army and navy. To-
ward this end the Red Cross is es-
tablishing field canteens which 1t will
provide for every corps of the French
army, as we'll as for the American
army. There are now large reception
camps near the coast, where United
States soldiers are received.
Along the route to the firing line
the Red Cross has established tnflrm-
aries and rest stations. At railway
stations canteens are being estab-
lished where our soldiers may find
rest and refreshment. Baths. food.

available. When American troops
