FIRST AID TO RouMANlA.

Sawdust was being used to dress
wounds in Roumania when a special
Red Cross commission reached that
country. Upon recommendation of
this commission, medicines. surgical
instruments, hospital supplies, ban
dages. bed linen. collodion, wax paper
and iodine were shipped to Roumania
by the American Red Cross. Later
suffering became so acute in this un-
fortunate country that the American
Red Cross War Council appropriated
$1,51S 900 for further relief.

ALWAYS READY FOR ACTION.

With all its war relief work, The
American Red Cross is never caught
unprepared for disaster or civilian re-
lief work. This is illustrated by the
fact that relief has been furnished in
sixty four disasters thus far in 1917,
exclusive of the help now being given
TO the sufferers in the Halifax calam-
ity. A notable example was that OF
the month of October when help and
s125.000 was supplied by the Amerl-
can Red Cross to the 100000 food
people made destitute in the food at
rien-tsin. China.

SUPPLYING ARMS AND LEGS.

French mutiles (wounded soldiers
who have lost either arms or legs)
gather daily at the various American
Red Cross headquarters in France,
seeking assistance in securing arti-
fetal arms or legs. The ones supplied
by the Red Cross are the most prac-
teal to be obtained.
So great has been the demand for
this sort of assistance that the Red
Cross is now constructing near Paris
an artificial limb factory. Also in the
same locality there are being erected
plants for the manufacture of splints
and of nitrous oxide. the latter highly
important in surgical operations.

WOMEN LABoRERs

The spirit displayed by the loyal
women Of this country in the strug-
gle that is before us, is a matter of
just pride to every true lover of his
country. The unanimity with which
they Fave risen to the occasion and
met the demands upon them, is
gratifying, and evidences the fact
that they are not one whit behind
their sons and brothers in their de-
votion to their country.
There is, however, one feature of
our women's activity that may cas-
lily be carried to extreme-that of
devoting themselves to heavy man
ual labor. There may, in the days.
before us, be rare instances in
which women viii be impeiied 10
shoulder the heavier burdens that
! fall rightly to the shoulders of the
men, but these occasions should be
made as rare as possible.
There is something in the very
sight of a woman staggering under
a heavy burden that fills the soul
OF an American with shame. The
instinct that prompts man to in
stantly assume that burden is in
born IN the race, and is bui prompt
ing of nature in an effort to safe
guard the race and insure its high
est development.
The splendid type of our Ameri-
can manhood could never have
been evolved had not this country
regarded woman as something to
be cherished and protected and
shielded from all of life's rougher
and sterner experiences. High
ideals and lofty conceptions of life
are drawn by us from the breasts
of mothers whose surroundings and
comforts are such as to develop
them. Children of care burdened
and over-worked mothers are apt
to develop in their own lives the
direct results of the trials of their
parents. Very few specimens of q
high type of manhood come from
the homes of such people. This is
most clearly seen in countries of
the old world, amonS the peasant
classes, where over worked mothers
breed loutish and boorish sons
This is a condition of life from
which this country has ever revolt
ed, and from which we must guard
ourselves with extra care in this
| emergency.
There are many lines of activity
III which our women can render
valiant service. In these they
should be encouraged, and these
lines should be cheerfully surren-
dered to them by the men. But
women dock laborers, women rail
! readers, women coal beavers, and
such like, is an unseemly spectacle
to which we have never been ac-
customed and from which our ma
ture revolts.
Should this war continue for two
or three years and conditions in
this country become such as in 9TH
en- countries, we will be compelled to
face this matter squarely. We
must protect our women if we

STARTS DRIVE
FOR MEMBERS
American Red Cross Launches
Campaign for $1,000, 600
EnrOIlments by Christ
mas Eve.

Every American Home a Red Cross
Home"
Three hundred and forty-five chap
tiers in the Lake Division, American
Red Cross, embracing Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky, Monday, Dec. II, begin
Christmas Membership Drive to
make this slogan reality by Christ
mas Eve. These three states have
bee" given quotas aggregating 1,600.-
900 members. The objective for the
entire United States is 15,0O0.0OO.
Differing altogether from recent pa
triotic campaigns, the Christmas
Membership Drive is campaign for
people rather than for money. Al
though the principal memberships to
be sought are the 81 and 50 classes,
the real purpose behind the drive is
to enroll huge civilian army to spur
the morale of our soldiers By p.cds;ns
to the cause the hearts and minds Of
100000 Americans back home.
William Ganson Rose of Cleveland
is directing the drive in these three
states for James r. Garfield, former
secretary of the interior and now man
ager of the Lake Division. Mr.. Rose
is giving his services to the Red Cross
without compensation and has gath
cred staff of associates, all prom
inent in commercial and advertising
life. They, too, are giving their time
and experience to the Red Cross with
out remuneration.
House to House Canvass.
A house to house canvass will be
Instituted in every city, town, village
and hamlet. Booths will be erected
everywhere. Factories and business
houses will be invaded by canvassers.
Flying squadrons will brave bad roads
and get into the rural districts. Every
one will have the opportunity "to help
bind wounds of our fighters so that
every possible drop of American blood
may be saved to establish world de-
mocracy."
Present members will not be asked
to enroll again, but they will be given
the opportunity to waive the unex-
pired portion Of their memberships
and sign up anew for the calendar
year of 1913
To every member will GO Red
Cross service flag. The flag has blue
border and white field. In the cen
ter is a Red Cross, indicating that one
member of the household, where the
flag hangs. belongs to the Red Cross.
For each additional member in the
household Red Cross sticker will be
given to be fastened in the flags
white field. If every member of the
household joins, white star will be
furnished for pasting upon the flags
central cross.
"The legion of workers required to
enlist this great civilian army will ex-
coed any similar force" says Drive
Director Rose. THE amount of pub
licity of various types used will sur
pass that of any previous campaign.
The purposes of the drive are more
comprehensive and far-reaching than
those of the earlier campaigns since
the inception of the war.
Success means driving home to
Germany the fact that the American
people are standing firmly behind the
American government in the present
situation. 1t means inspiration to our
soldiers. 1t means practical aid on
the battlefield 1t means uniting the
spirit of Christmas with the Red
Cross. 1t means a tremendous drive
toward victory"

TO RECRUIT GUARD
WITHOUT LET UP
War Department Will Raise
Strength to Hundred Men
a Company.

Recruiting of the national guard up
to 100 company, and probably later to
$50. will continue. the War Department
said today in answer to inquiries as to
whether recruiting had ceased.
The statement issued by the army
censor said:
THE War Department learned that
the impression exists that recruiting for
national guard organizations is not to
continue. Such an impression is not
correct, and, in order that 1t may be
removed, department commanders have
been informed that national guard or
ganizations may be recruited to the
maximum peace strength Of the regular
army. That strength is 100 per COM
pany. We probably will authorize 1t to
l5O when we get the 100 companies
filled"
At the same time the department
said that its cali for 10000 artisans,
clerks, stenographers, and the like,
for the quartermaster's enlisted re-
serve corps is meeting satisfactory
response. Applications for these posi-
tions can be made to the department
duartermasters at Governors island,
Y.
Military experts figured today that
IL all the units provided under the
national defense act are brought up
to the maximum five-year war
strength, close to a million volun-
teers would be required.
