Folks Is Greatest Need.

Washington-The American Red /
Cross has issued the Red Cross Hand
book. The book which is intended,
among other things, to strengthen the
morale Of the people at home was
written by w. Frank Persons, the d.
rector general of civilian relief of the
American Red Cross.
again and again word comes from
overseas of men disheartened by bad
news from home, making a brave eff
fort to go on with their work but
With no zest to it," Mr.. Persons says.
1T is the task of the home service
sections Of the Red Cross to see to it
that there are in the families of these
soldiers no anxieties or problems which
are likely to get into letters and bring
distress to the soldiers overseas and
no loneliness which we could help
meet here.
Want Letters From Home.
| "Not comfort kits, nor even smokes
Will so warm the hearts of our boys
as the letter from home saying that
all is we'll and that the home service
Of the Red Cross is standing by"
Mr.. Persons recently returned from
France where he organized the bureau
Of home service in the American Red
Cross organization in that country. He
asserted that his observations in
FraLce made him more firmly con-
v1nced than ever that proper cOndi-
lions in the homes of soldiers and sail
ors and the maintenance Of close con
tact between the men and their fam
lilies was necessary to preserve the
morale Of the soldiers.
''The fighting man wants to know
all about what is going on at home,
Mr.. Persons continues. "He wants tt
know all the details about his family
and then about his friends and hi!
community generally. He wants to b.
