4 Message From The Red Cross.

Mrs. Belmont Tiffany has written
for the August issue Of Harper S
Bazaar very interesting article on
A Message from the American Red
Cross to the Women Of America" She
especially mentions the part that wo-
men Of society are taking in this great
work, and also tells Of the organiZa-
tion's rapid growth since the war be-
gan in 1914
Mrs. Tiffany explains very clearly
the different functions of the Red
Cross: for instance, this is what she
says about the Department of Civil
ian Relief
perhaps it is not generally known
by persons not familiar with the work
that the Red Cross has a Department
OF Civilian Relief with which the De-
partment of Military Relief coordin-
ates and cOOperates. In other words,
the Red Cross is responsible for re-
lief of all kinds for our own army
and navy and is chartered to take
care not only of the sick and wound
ed soldiers, but of all who need aid
of any sort. 1t is also required to take
care of and look after the dependent
families and the children of the mem
bers of the United States Army and
Navy. All over the country we are
doing civilian relief work"
