Gen. L. Wood Points
Nation to Red Gross

Washington, D. c., May H.
Major General Leonard Wood
today issued the following state
ment concerning the Red Gross:
War brings with it a call to
national service for women as
well as men. There are two
very important ways in which
women can help the nation in
war:
~ By working in industry,
thereby releasing men for the
front, and
(2) By joining the American
Red Cross.
Next to the preparation of
munitions and recruiting the
army and the navy the most
important step in getting tready
tor war is to build up a Red
Cross organization. Vast num-
hers of women are now work
ing in the various supply estab-
lishments which make NUM-
tons, clothing, etc, but the
time is not get here when
women need go into the factor
les to take the places of men.
But the time is here not merely
for the Red Cross to prepare, but
to meet the actual test of real
service.
During the last few years
much has been done to prepare
the American Red Cross for the
nations call. But preparedness
on large scale cannot be ac-
compished in peace time. All
that can be done is to prepare a
skeleton organization capable of
expansion in war service, to
draft plans of mobilization as
any army staff would draft
them and to gather reserve ma
terials and supplies.
When the call comes the Red
Cross must act quickly. 1t
must take care of a vastly in.
creased army and navy. There.
fore its growth must parallel thu
growth i'll both branches of the
nations fighting force
The declaration of a state OF
war with Germany means that
the American Red Cross mus
translate all these plans, pre-.
pared during peace, into action
1t must be prepared to supple
ment the existing facilities o
the Medical Department of tn,
army and the navy and of tn
Medical Reserve Board.
All this work must go for
ward smoothly. The expansion
must take place without an,
hitch in the machinery. Their
can be no experiment in war.
Every man and WON IN owe
it as a duty to the country t
become a member of the Amer
can Red Cross. Membership
as low as 81, should be univel
sal. Instead of having mem
bership of 100000 as at present
the American Red Cross shoIl
far exceed the 100000 men
bership in Japan, the /, 10000
in Russia and the 100000 j
France and England.
Membership alone does nc
necessarily imply service.

ITALIAN FORCES
BEGIN TO HOLD
Word from Rome More Encouraging
as to Ability OF General Cordona to

Washington, Oct 29.-Word from,
Rome today that the Italian line was
holding against the terrific assault OF
the Austro-Gcrman forces was re-
ccived by official Washington with
eager interest and frank relief. Mill
tary authorities here have not dis
guised their keen anxiety as press re-
ports showed the Italians waycrne
backward under the crushing blows OF
the enemy.
Satisfaction was found also tonight
in the announcement from London
that steps already had been taken by
the French and British to support the
Italian front.
Even accepting the German claims
ri face value many officers here be-
!icvc General Cadorna will be able to
check the drive if the morale of his
army was not shattered. The an
nounccmcnt from Rome that all clc-
mGnts Of tho Italian forces were obey
ing orders of the general staff was
viewed as setting at rest, for the time
being at least, the gravcst fears for
the final outcome Of the struggle.
The announcement was taken to
mean that General 'cadOrna had sue
cccdcd in rcuntng the forces scat
tered by the first fierce rush Of the
Austro-Gcrmans and was falling back
steadily and behind we'll organized
