RED CROSS. LIBRARIES

The Red Cross library distribution
service has in hand large number
Of complete libraries of American
ani English books, and French die
tionaries for the service Of patients
and personnel. Ten such Libraries,
totaling 1000 books, have been
placed in hospitals.
In general Rod Cross equipment
will be put to all manner of robust
soc!able uses outside the sick room.
Its portable ice plants will be found
supplying cold water to the sound
Of body, and its portable laundries,
dcuches and hot water for the same.
Anyone who has seen the men come
ont of the trenches, caked with mud
and dirt. drawn and tired by thei:
experience, will appreciate that
washing and food are the two things
most needed to restore them to prop
,,er condition. It's Kitchens mounted
on trucks, will furnish soup and
bread in large quantities. It's chap
lains' supply service furnished games,
books and monographs when the
chaplains first reached their camps,
and helped bridge over a critical
time. Its infirmaries on the line o!
communication are places Of refresh
ment as we'll as rest; and there ia
prospect that its recuperation camps
will be broadened into great out-of-
doors resorts which will furnish an
alternative to the cities for men on
leave
This division will also send food
and clothing in packages to Amer
lean prisoners. It has stationed rep
rcsentatives at Berne, where, because
of the log delay incident to trans
porting food, stock ample enough
for 5000 prisoners for six months
will be carried.

In this time of stress, wneh Tue

of little consequence,-almo COM

ali be treated as a part of great
cause just as the daily routine OF

and uncomfortable quarters are a
part of our mems service to the ma
tion.

pitals, but If we each do our part
no matter how small that part may
be, and do it willingly, cheerfully'
and energetically, We are just as true
patriots as the men in our camps.
Through the Red Cross every one
can find a channel for activity. II
We cannot knit sweater, we can
certainly roll bandages. The Y. W.
c. A., cooperating with the Y. M.
c. a. offers to every girl chance to
do her bit.
This in most cases means the CIV
ing of money and in many cases this
Means sa sacrifice; but the American
girls are true patriots and we are
willing to give up the luxuries and
even the necessities to aid our coun-
try for which our brothers are dS
ing.
But this is not all. We mus not
only DO ourselves but must teach
others how and what to do, in other
words we must teach those around us
what good citizenship means. Many
do not realize the necessity Of food
conservation and by precept and ex-
ample the girls of America can, and
are already doing much to help Mr.
Hoover in this important work.
AL! around us we see splendid posi-!
tions left vacant because the men
who filled them have been called to
tie front. Nine-tenths Of these men
will never return. Who then is tc
take their places If not the girls O!
America? Thus we should be yer,
d'ligent in our studies and strive tc
Mt ourselves to fill the place left va,
cant by our soldiers.
This is no time for us to waste II
idIeness and worry. It is a time
when everyone must work for tn,
common good of all.
