RED CROSS TAKE IN
300 NEW MEMBERS
IN CHRISTMAS DRIVE

The following letter has been re-
ceived by the Tucumcari Chapter of
The American Red Cross from Lieu
tenant George B. Little. Of Tooth ANU
milton Train, Camp Cody, n. NJ:
Dear Mesdames: ] wish to take
this opportunity on behalf Of the 1O9th
Ammunition Train, to thank you for the
knitted goods which we received thru
the American Red Cross Field Direc-
tor of this place, Mr.. Edwin II. Brown.
The men were very much pleased with
the gifts and assure you that the
same are greatly appreciated.
Lieutenant George b. Little.
A letter comes from Headquarters
warning all against "Chain Letters"
There is no warrant for these letters.
The Red Cross does not approve Of
them. There is no assurance that the
money gathered thru thes, letters will
reach the Treasury.
The following Cablegram received
from Paris Headquarters of the Amer
ican Red Cross makes plain why. thru
one Of its many activities. Americans
are gaining the gratitude of the whole
French people.
Every day French wounded soldiers
who have either lost arms or legs
gather at American Red Cross Head
quarters seeking assistance in secur-
ing either artificial arms or legs. The
ones given by the Red Cross are the
best and the most practical that can
be obtained. These crippled men typ
ify the true spirit of French sacrifice.
They never complain about their mis-
fortune, but are profuse in their thanks
for assistance. A French soldier who
hobbled in on two wooden legs the
other day received artificial legs which
enabled him to stand upright without
the aid of cane. After he had ar
rived home, his mother wrote the Red
Cross:
Thank you with all my heart for
what you have done for my poor mutt
lated soldier. Your generous and char
liable help has brought back to active
life an unfortunate who. without your
help, would have remained in the dark
est of misery. From my soul of a
mother. and of French woman. beg
to tell you the American mothers who's
sons will soon be fighting along side
Of our sons, that if it is their fate to
be sent some day to the hospitals. we
shall receive them with devoted and
tender care.
The membership campaign which
the local Red Cross Chapter has been
waginp during the past week in ac-
cordance with the national organiza-
tion. has been very successful Over
