War 10 Causing Heavy Loss
Among Allies.

Pittsburgh.-Edward A. Woods, life
insurance expert and statistician. after
nm exhaustive study of mortality in
the present war, has compiled statis-
tics to refute the widely circulated
statements that the war Is causing a
frightful loss Of life on the side Of the
allies.
"Timely and scientific medical treat.
ment has reduced the rate Of mortal
ity In the present war to lower per-
centage than that Of all great wars"
says Mr.. Woods.
"More than 90 per cent Of the SOL
diers put under the care Of physicians
and surgeons have been able to return
to the firing line.
"An American soldier, twenty years
Of age who Is now In the trenches, has
the same chance Of being alive at the
end Of the war, II 1t lasts year or 20
longer, as man Of sixty In civil life
has Of living the same length Of time."

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHTERS
JOIN WITH RED CROSS

Fifteen hundred anti-tuberculosis
associations in every state In the Un-
ion have set aside their ordinary work
and are giving their time and atten-
ton during the next month to the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call, according
to an announcement from the head
quarters of the National tuberculosis
Association,
Instead Of the usual sale of Red
Cross Seals which has been conducted
for the last ten years Jointly by the
National tuberculosis Association and
the American Red Cross, this coming
year the tuberculosis movement will
be supported by direct appropriation
Of $2,5OO,OOO from the Red Cross, and
in turn all Of the machinery of the tn
berculosis campaign will be turned
into helping swell the membership OF
the American Red Cross In an effort
to enroll every man and woman in the
country.
In every state there Is q well organ

there are strong local branches. These

SICK FOLKS HUSTLE
FOR THE RED CROSS

Through the National tuberculosis
Association and the Journal of the Out
door Life, its official magazine, a cam
paign is being organized to get tuber-
culosis patients of the country to en-
list every fellow "cure chaser as a
member of the Red Cross during the
coming Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
Special campaigns have been organ
lied In all of the large sanatoria, of
which there are nearly 600 scattered
throughout the United States. Efforts
will be made to enroll one hundred
per cent. in each institution and also
20 60 after all patients and enroll
them as well. Every patient in the
sanatorium will be responsible to get
one more patient. The movement will
b a contribution of the tuberculosis
patients Of the country to the Red
Cross.
Since the National tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION and its affiliated agencies are
being supported by the Red Cross
through direct appropriation during
the year 1919, this effort of the tuber-
culosis patients Is considered to be an
unusually appropriate one.

WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because of limited room on the
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag.
gage of soldiers. However, since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure to our bOyA
the American Red Cross Is arranging
for as large freight shipments Of these
as possible to be distributed through
it's Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
5urly soldier boy was as pleased a.
punch over some simple puzzle that
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another instance Is told of Q
soldier boy who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and dirt and with
not even as much as toothbrush In
his possession. When he was handed
a comfort kit with comb, brush and
even a toothbrush his JOY knew no
bounds, and he Immediately made q
mental allotment from his next pay
day to go to the American Red Cross,
which had proved his friend In his
hour of need.

GERMAN RETREAT BRINGS
NEW WORK FOR RED CROSS

In France the retreat Of the German
armies and the redemption of wide ter
ritory has produced tremendous ex-
pansion of all Red Cross activities
The German retreat widens the syste-
matte destruction not only Of cities
and villages, but of practically every
thing in the evacuated territory.
1t will be necessary to provide at
once for the housing Of homeless refu-
gees In the devastated areas and in
the temporary reconstruction of vii
lagos. 1t will be necessary to provide
also clothing, cloth and dressmaking
supplies, sewing machines, In addition
to foodstuffs and medical supplies,
throughout all this territory.
With the coming again of winter, the
fight against tuberculosis must be TAX
en- up with renewed energy. Seventy
six tuberculosis hospitals have been
completed and are in operation, but
acquisitions have been made for nine
ty-six provisional hospitals, all to be
in operation before winter. The Red
Cross has adopted as a slogan ito visit
every baby In France" 1t is estimat-
ed that $4,000 French babies died last
year, 10000 Of whom might have been
saved. One Of the Immediate objects
Of the Red Cross is to save those 10000
babies in 1919.

BISHOP JOHN J. O'CONN0R
TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL

Bishop John J. O'Connor of Newark
thus expresses his approval of the Red
Cross Christmas roll call:
"a citizen of the United States can
offer no valid excuse for failure to en-
roll himself in the American Red Cross
Society. An organization whose one
great principle Is humanity has the
right to call all men to its standard.
The Red Cross appeals to the common
human In us. 1t aims at giving fine
words, like sympathy and pity and
mercy, some practical value. The world
has waited a long time for an organi-
ZatiOn which coNld give to vague feel
ings of sympathy wide, practical ap-
plication. The American Red Cross
fulfills every requirement of broadly
humanitarian association. 1t accepts
only universally admitted principles
1t limits its operations to no particu-
lar class. 1t sides with no party. 1t
asks of its members but two things
that they have pity on suffering wher-
ever found and that they have the will
TO relieve misfortune.
1.-THE appeal of the Red Cross for an
increased membership should be in
stantly needed. The man who fails to
heed this call places himself outside
the pale. He does not feel with his
native land. He Is not one with his
kind Here is our opportunity to join
In work which gives to religion and
its teaching present value. Place your
names on the rolls of the American
Red Cross"

RED CROSS AIDS
FARMING IN ITALY

Through efforts Of the American
Red Cross scientific farming is now
being taught the younger generation
of Italy, thus eliminating considerable
waste and replacing old-fashioned I'M
plements with modern American-made
machinery.
Schools Gf agriculture have been es.
tablished, and the Department of Civil
Affairs of the American Red Cross,
cooperating with a similar Italian or
ganization. known as the "Comitato
per gil Orfani de COnstadinl Morti In
Guerra" has opened school of farm
ing. conducted by Salesian Fathers In
fields just outside the Porta Eufba,
one of the historic gateways of Rome.
The boys of the school, all orphans
of peasant soldiers. are gwen training
in scientific and practice farming, the
object being to strengthen their at
tachment to the soil, also to convert
them into good and intelligent farm
ers. Lectures and classroom instruc-
ton are accompanied by field work
with modern tools under the direct SUI
pervisiOn of the younger Fathers OF
the institution, who work side by side
with the boys in the fields, teaching
and demonstrating.

RED CROSS TAKES
HOME TO THE BOYS

The French soldiers have furloughs
which they can spend at home. The
English fighters go back to Blighty.
But our boys have the ocean between
them and home. They cannot come
home on furlough, and 1t remains for
the American Red Cross to try and
take home to them.
This Is particularly true in regard
to the convalescent homes. Here all
reversiOn to hospital life is avoided.
Books, games, music, social evenings
and home-like surroundings help them
to throw off the grim business of war
until they are really able to recover
The housekeeper Is always a mother
ly woman, usually American, who
looks after the comfort Of her charges
and helps them to pack up all imagi-
nary troubles In the old kit bag.
The American Red Cross now has
six Of these homes In operation.
