Red Cross Work in France
These messages tell vivid story
of restitution and relief, equally
homely and tragic, in many cases.
eve must begin to prepare for the
coming hard winter" says one, which
continues:
"You cannot possibly send US more
than we need of the following list,
except where definite amounts are
specified:
Twenty four-ton motor trucks, 50,-
900 yards of flannel, condensed milk,
flour, dried preserved vegetables,
corned beef, rice, beans, canned beef,
preserved fruits, sugar, heavy shoes,
blankets, knitting wool, heavy white
cotton sheeting.
And here is a, hint of the way in
which French villages are being re-
called to life by the joint aid of the
French government and the Ameri-
can Red Cross:
Representatives of the Red Cross
returned recently from a study of
conditions in the devastated areas,
having selected three villages in
which provisional reconstruction will
be begun within a fortnight Fifty
villages were visited. In some the de-
struction of buildings was complete.
In others, a portion of the buildings
can be repaired. Nearly all the houses
are without roofs, without windows
and door frames, and with absolutely
no furniture or utensils.
The Red Cross plans to do pro-
visional reconstruction of buildings in
several of these villages, and also, as
the refugees return to the villages, to
assist in their economic and social re-
Mobilization. In the light of the ex-
perience gained in these villages, it
plans to undertake provisional recon-
struction on a larger scale.
In these particular villages, the
total population before the war was
1887. Now it is 235.
