Several of these units are already
on the way TO the front in France, and
the prospect is that all will see early
service. Not only is the Red Cross
preparing TO care for American sol
diers and sailors when they move into
the firing line, but France needs help
badly with her hospitals, and America
is giving it as rapidly as possible.
The German policy of sinking hos
pital ships with their thousands OF
helpless wounded is making il neces-
sary to care for the British wounded
in France, and it puts terrific Strain
on the French hospital service.
