Relief For Poland.

The American Red Cross has
appropriated 100000 for i'm
mediate relief Of conditions Dor
dering on starvation in Poland.
Infants and small children in
particular are suffering for want
of food in that part of Poland
back of the German lines. The
money will be paid in two install
ments to the Warsaw Polish
Committee.
Requests have been made to
the Red Cross to put relief
measures in operation in Poland
of the same kind that were ap-
piled in Belgium, through the
sending of food to the people.
The appropriation to meet i'm
mediate needs, however, is con-
ditioned on guarantees that it's
expenditure shall not result in
releasing funds or food supplies
for Germany.

Enlist For The War.

Not everybody can 60 to the
front in France to fight for his
country. Everybody unable to
serve in the army, however, can
enlist in the Red Cross. There
is important war work for all the
men and women of America, and
for youth under or over military
age, right at home. No age limit
bars enlistment in the Red Cross.
1t is the great organized force
through which every one not on
the firing line may play his part
in the war for Liberty.
The chance to become a recruit
in the greatest army ever mobi-
lied to relieve human suffering,
