The war activities of the Red Cross
are carried on by the Department of
Military Relief. 1t is the only or
ganization recognized by our govern
ment to care for the sick and the
wounded soldiers. The Army and
Navy have their medical STATS but
they are entirely inadequate to take
care of our soldier boys in times of
active military operation; and as a
consequence the Red Cross is being
recognized as a necessity for our ar
mics. The Red Cross maintains a
systematic arrangement of hospitals
and base hospitals. 1t operates a
prompt and efficient system of con-
veying the wounded from the battle
field to the hospital 1t collects,
stores and distributes vast quantities
of surgical and medical supplies. Not
only that but the Red Cross is the
medium through which the folks at
home hear of the death or sickness of
their boys. In the war in Europe
the Red Cross will be authorized to
publish the casualty lists and to see
that the bodies of our soldier boys
are tenderly taken care of.
