Blake's American hospital in Paris. 1t
has allied with itself the work of the
American Surgical Dressing. Committee.
which distributed in France in July 7s2, $40
dressings among 1876 hospitals
The effort has been in accordance with
the expressed views of the President of
the United States and of the civic and
military authorities of France to co-ordi-
nate along helpful lines all relief work
being done in France and America. The
first and the supreme object ,of the task
Is to care for our own army and navy.
Toward this end the Red Cross is estab-
hshlng field canteens, which it will pro-
vide for every corps of the French army
as well as for the American army. There
are now large reception camps near the
coast where United States soldiers are
received
Along the route to the firing line the
Red Cross has established infirmares and
rest stations. At railway stations cam
teens are being esta blished where our
soldiers may find rest and refreshmen,.
Baths. food, games and other comforts
Will be available. When American troops
start FOR France the men are given com
Tort KITS. Christmas parcels will be sent
over later.
Various appropriations have been
made to worthy causes. such as ST.
90; ,G0n for the relief of sick and
wounded French soldiers and their
families: sl00a00 for medical research
work in France; 100000 for supply
Warehouses; sl,59oo)1 to buy food
$tUffs TO be sent to France. and 81 :
cCoWo for the hospital supply service.
The transportation problem with
Which the Red Cross has had to cops
IN moving supplies over seas has been
most difficult but through official
French. British and Italian cooper
alton with the United States shipping
board and leading steamship and vail
read COMPANIES, vast quantities Of
supplies re row shipped almost iaily
A special Rcd Cross transport SER
vice has been developed in France as
the railroads there are over taxed With
military needs
Six base hospitals were sent to Tu-
ropean fronts in advance If the Amer
lean soldiers and more than a dozen
are now actively in service there and
others are rapidly being made ready.
II is not the policy Of the Red Cross
TO rebuild French villages but il is
