The Red Cross

The following was taken from an ar
ticle by VIM. Taft, IN the June Ladies
Home Journal
The American National Red Cross is
the only volunteer society in the u. 5.
which our Government has authorized
to render aid to our land and naval
forces in time of war. 1t operates
under charter granted by Congress.
supplemented by Presidential procla-
nation. Its purposes are:
To furnish, on call of the Secretary
of War, or the Secretary of the Navy,
volunteer aid in time of war to the
sick and wounded, and to add to the
comfort of all soldiers and sailors To
act in matters of voluntary war
relief and in accord with the military
and naval authorities as medium of
communication between the American
people and their fighting forces.
1t is recognized by all civilized ma
tions. The President of the United
States is President OF the American
National Red Cross. Representatives
of the Departments of State, Treas
ury, Army and Navy are included in
the membership of the Central Com
mittee which directs the operations
and management of the Society.
In time of war, its forces in the field
become a part of the forces of the
U. S and are subject to the control of
the military and naval authorities.
Any resident of the U. S. may be-
come a member of the American Red
Cross. Joining the Red Cross should
not be confused with volunteer enroll
ment for active field service with the
Red Cross. 1t is in the home country
that most of US will find our opportun-
ity to serve, in preparing and forward
ing vast quantities of medical supplies
and comforts certain to be needed.
Organized. united effort on the part of
those who remain at home, will be
needed to meet the needs of the
situation.
