Washington, D. c., Dec. 2.-0n
behalf OF the War Council of the
American Red Cross, appointed by
President Wilson May 10. Henry P.
Dawson, chairman, today makes pub
lie the report to the American people
on the present state of the War Fund
and the work which is being done
by the American Red Cross in this
country and different parts of the
world The report. In part. is as
followh:
The Red Cross War Council here
with reports on the work of the Red
Cross during the almost six months
which have elapsed since its appoint
ment by the President.
The growth of Red Cross activities
among the suffering civilian popula-
tions in the different allied countries
is, up to this time, the outstanding
feature OF Red Cross work in this
war. The magnitude of the work in
France is particularly impressive.
Aims of the Red Cross.
Broadly speaking, the Red Cross
War Council has proceeded upon the
theory that the present work of the
American Red Cross should contrib
ute to these great aims.
1. To be ready to care for our
soldiers and sailors on duty wherev-
er and whenever that care may be
needed.
2. To shorten the war-by
strengthening the morale OF the al
lied peoples and their armies, by al
leviating their sufferings in the peri
cd which must elapse until the
American army can become fully
effective abroad.
3. To lay foundations for an en-
during peace-by extending mes
sage OF practical relief and sympa
thy to the civilian population among
our allies, carrying to them the ex
preston of the finest side of tht
American character.
The American people have gener
ously supported the work of the Ret
Cross, and this report of activity il
given with great fullness in the hop,
that thru it the public may realiz'
both the obligation and the opportu
nifty which the future presents.
Responding to the Cry for Relief.
The American Red Cross is at
tempting to respond to the most be
seeching and far-reaching appeal ey
er made for mercy and relief.
The American people are today tn
richest people in the world, the rich
est in resources. richest in obliga
tions and in opportunities. The Re,
Cross aims to mobilize the heart
and souls of America toward bindin
up the wounds of bleeding world.
Up to date approximately $4,000,
600 in cash has been collected for tn
War Fund The demands. however
are increasing with great rapidit
and on the present basis of expendi
ture the 100000 900 War Fun
cannot last much beyond spring.
Base Hospital Units Equipped.
Forty-nine Army base hospita
units and five for the navy have bee
recruited, organized and equipped
the Red Cross. More than twelve {
the Army units and two of the nav
units have now been mustered int
their respective Medical Corps an
are seeing service. These units ca
care for a 500-bed hospital eaci
and some of them have been reinfOrt
ed to enable them to take over lars
er hospitals.
The Red Cross has also organize
as ambulance companies, with t,
