FOUR HUNDRED

HOW THE RED CROSS FIGHTS THE
WHITE PLAGUE IN THIS
NATION
BY GEORGE MARTIN

WASHINGTON-An army of Red
Cross soldiers 400,000,000 strong is be-
ing mobilized at strategic points
throughout the United States today.
Within a very short time these
4O0,000,000 little fighters will be en-
battled against the enemy. Each
fighter is less than an inch high and
so thin you could press one of them
between your thumb and fore-finger
and never know it was there.
But how they can fight!
They have put billions of the enemy
to rout in the last nine years saving
thousands of American lives.
These soldiers are commonly known
as Red Cross Christmas seals. They
are sold for stickeps --ons Christmas
mail and packages. All cash realized
from their sale goes to fight the white
plague in America.
Already burdened with colossal
duties in the greatest military war in
history, the Red Cross is taking time
and effort to continue the fight be-
tween these little red men and tub
erculosis.
Well over a million dollars, 1T is
estimated will be realized from sale
of this years 400,000,000 stamps. 1t
will all go to stamp out this enemy
of Americas public health
The Red Cross seals Battle of
Christmas is confined to the holidays,
but it yields funds enough to carry
on the fight the year round.
Between 1908 and 1916 the total re-
ceipts from the stamps was consid-
erably more than s4,000,000
Because of the constantly growing
popularity of the seals, last years or
der for 335,OOO,0OO stamps was in
creased this year to 400,00O,000.
The first shipments, which have just
been made, went to the Philippines,
Hawaii and the Canal Zone.

clared that 100000 Germans were re-
moved from the eastern to the western
front before the United States could
get into action, and this shows what
Russia has been doing to aid the al
lies. Mr.. Root said the Swedish expose
was no surprise to him. He declared
that he considered Swedish officials
simply assistant Germans.
