Along this route Of bruised and bleed

throughout all the zone of the interior
and the overseas transport, at the base

Of communication up to the regiment

also operate in the zone of the advance,
just as the American ambulance units
in France under the constant risk Of
shell fire from the enemy's artillery.
Nothing could be further from the
truth than to look upon the Red Cross
as some kind of a society fad. The Red
Cross work is a self-imposed obligation
which we have agreed by treaty to
maintain, the machinery for which has
been created by national Incorporation,
and to which work we have called with
out compensation some of the ablest
business men of America.
Canada has contributed 50 for every
man, woman and child in her popula-
ton Contributions on a similar scale
in this country would net US a quarter
Of a billion dollars for Red Cross work.
