 We war; but do not realize what war is and the Red Cross able to do its u duty will know what can be.
 Do you know what the Red Cross does Some day, Some where France when soldiers ii trenches line of American boys will of their trenches slip through face of high explosive shells ss liquid r sharpn grenade machine gun and rifle fire face the barb ed front of the trenches for the bare chance meeting bayonet with bayOne other boys to blame this war than they
 You know what the loss will You know that after Tyres the Princess Pats had only 12 alive of the 69 that the up that day.
 What of the fallen?

With the hospitals overowded and dynfor want of a tenon the response the Red Cross call will roll enough but then it will be too late
