when the Americans begin to fight
there will be no stopping the stream of
wounded until the war is won. And
the Red Cross cannot afford to let a
single fighting man die for lack of a
bandage or a splint. Is our commu-
nifty doing it's part?
In France right now the supply of
gauZe and linen is so low that they
are reported to be using old newspa-
pers to stanch bleeding wounds. That
must never happen to an American SOL
der. And unless the American people
get behind the Red Cross with all their
strength and In all their numbers, and
train themselves to turn out supplies
for their hospitals, it may happen.
1t would be the irony of fate If a
soldier from our own town-perhaps
your own family, or mine-were to get
gangrene in his wound, perhaps lose
an arm or q. leg or even his life, be-
cause we folks here had failed to fur
