IMMENSE RED CROSS DEPICTS
Sixteen LARGE Warehouses Established
In france to Serve Needs of
American Troops and Hospitals.

To serve the American troops and
the hundreds of war hospitals behind
the French firing line and to reach the
thousands of French refugees the Red
Cross commission to France has estab-
lished a system of 16 large warehouses
throughout France.
Six of the new warehouses have
been located in Paris, which serves as
the center Of the distribution system.
Ten other warehouses are located out
side the capital. Approximately 49,
900 tons of materials are now being
distributed monthly from these ware
houses by the Red Cross commission.
Every kind of medical supplies,
drugs and surgical instruments is car
ried in stock for the use of hospital
staffs. Foodstuffs, clothing, building
materials, blowing implements and
tools are also being imported in large
quantities for the assistance of French
refugees.
American college men, many of
whom formerly served as drivers in
the American ambulance, are direct
ing the work, while the force of work
men is recruited from veteran French
soldiers and Belgian men no longer fit
for military duty.
