CANTEEN SERVICE

A troop train rolls in at four o'clock, three hours late. No one has had dinner. It isn't any ones fault. There has been freight wreck or something has delayed it.
 Everyone is tired; everyone is hungry. A soldier in the first coach passes along the word Here they are! Down the yard come the Red Cross women; the coffee is ready and hot, trays of sandwiches, por- tion for every man, for Red Cross knew they were coming and is ready for them.
 Best of all there is word of cheer. In five minutes all hands are in good spirits. The postcards are ready for the men to write home, the Red Cross Motor Corps stands beside to take the one sick soldier to the hospital, and there will be Red Cross women to see that he is not forgotten there. All is conducted in an orderly way in full cooperation with the Army authorities and railway management.
 This is typical of what the Red Cross is doing at 700 important railroad points in the United States today.

bandage, made by Red Cross women at home, binds the wound. The Red Cross man follows him to the hospital, sees to his welfare, and supplements the prompt cable advice of the Government to his folks at home by the full story of his condition and progress.
 Abroad it is great comfort to him to know that Red Cross Home Service is see ing to it that his family is not in want.
 Red Cross is anticipating the soldiers possible permanent disabement, by an in- stitution already established where the best methods of rehabilitation work are being studied, the results of the experiments to be put at the disposal of the Government, which is making adequate plans for the care of mutilated men.
 If the worst befalls him, the Red Cross representative talks with the men who fought beside him in the battle, and, sup plementng the Governments cable advice, sends his people the story of his final heroic sacrifice.

he r,shed to the scene with it's expert bac- teriologists and scientific equipment to study the situation and help protect the men. tf
 In every camp there are the Red Cross Storehouses filled with emergency medical and surgical supplies. Then there are the knitted goods made by the devoted women of America, and there were few of our men who were not thankful to those women for additional comfort during the trying win ter months.
 If the soldier falls i'll in the cantonment he is put in an ambulance, perhaps the gift of Red Cross chapter, its driver quite possibly a member of a Red Cross ambu- lance unit which has been given to the Army; he is taken to the base hospital, op- erated by the Army Medical Corps; possibly the doctor attending him is an officer of Hospital Unit organized and equipped by the Red Cross; his nurse in all probability is one of the thousands of Red Cross Nurs- es recruited by the Red Cross for service in the Army and Navy
 When he begins to recover, he has the Red Cross Convalescent Houses. Here are reading and lounging rooms, an entertain ment auditorium, place to meet hls friends and hasten his recovery Then there are sleeping accommodations for his mother who may have been summoned in the critical stage of his illness
 In every camp there are Red Cross Home Service representatives to keep the man in touch with his home folks, to advise them of the details of his sickness, to counsel him about family or financial complications, to take home worries from his shoulders. and through the Red Cross Chapter in his home town to remove the cause of those worries.

HOME SERVICE

The care of the soldiers family is as neces- gsary as the care of the soldier himself if the spirit so necessary to his effectiveness as a fighting man is to be maintained. If he is harassed by anxiety about those dearest to him at home he cannot be on fighting edge. Is N4alA11

FOREIGN SERVICE

American troops are now in France in great numbers-greater numbers will fol- low day by day-and Americas task abroad will become sterner.
 The need for the Red Cross abroad is but greater for the distance. Red Cross pre- paration for the reception of our troops in France has been going on since the first month of the war. The Red Cross Con- mission in France has built great, exten- sive organization in people and material, to assure that our men will have every care the Red Cross can give them. Through all the months since war began, Red Cross supplies have occupied part of many ships; piling up in the great Red Cross warehouses in France against the arrival of our men. The Great Red Cross motor fleet has been organized to transport Red Cross supplies.
 All through these months the organiza- tion has been studying and training, so that it would be able to cope effectively with the problems created by the arrival of our men, Red Cross in France is support ing our Army and is ready for any further task that may, within reason, fall to it.
 On the way to his camp in France, the American soldier gets food and rest at the Red Cross canteens. On the way from the trenches to his camp, he meets the great Red Cross canteens on the lines of com munication. Here the tired, nerve-worn soldier, covered with vermin gets food, hath rest and clean clothes The preat canteen at Chalons is typical. As he goes into the front line trenches. and as he comes out, he is met by the Red Cross rolling can- teens operating right behind the front line, giving him hot or cold drinks.
 If the soldier is wounded, Red Cross

CAMP SERVICE

The great army cantonment or naval sta tion is new kind of city. Here are 10000 young men, in new environment, living new kind of life. There is every problem of the city of 10000, always with some novel phase The Red Cross has filled a real place in these new cities, helping the Army and Navy in keeping the men healthy, con- fortable and happy
 In the camp the young soldier finds that elaborate preparation had been made for his arrival. The site has been made healthy and comfortable by the Army or Navy. The area surrounding the camp has been in charge of the United States Sanitary Service, the Red Cross Sanitary Service, and the local health authorities
 If an epidemic threatens the camp, as during the recent winter, and the hard worked Army Medical Staff is baffled, they may call for Red Cross laboratory car to

Red Cross Home Service meets this prob lem.
 It is a new condition that such a large percentage of it's young men should be re- moved from a town with all they have meant in moral and financial support Their absence creates new problems in the aggregate so large they must be coped with in a large way Red Cross Home Service makes the sympathy, interest and help of the whole community available to the fam fly in practical manner. It is playing the part of the old neighbor in new way.
 To see that the family is not disorganized while he is absent; to give temporary finan- cial aid when necessary; to care for those who though they are related to him. have no legal claim upon the Government; to give information about pay-allotments, terms of enlistment, war risk insurance; to cooperate with the Government in the af- ter-care of the disabled soldier and his re- adjustment to life; to act as the good neigh bor and friend of the family in troubles large and small when the soldier is absent these are the aims of Red Cross Home country, and already serving one hundred thousand dependent families of soldiers and sailors.
 Home Service is not charity; it is as much the soldiers right as any protection which the people give him.

PRISONERS' SERVICE

 If the soldier is taken prisoner he still finds the Red Cross caring for him. The Red Cross, in cooperation with the Quarter master General of the Army, furnishes all American prisoners in Germany with food, clothing and tobacco These supplies are shipped to the Red Cross warehouses in Berne, Switzerland, and from there twenty pounds of food are sent to each prisoner every week. The prisoners receipt for the packages, so that delivery is almost certain. The notations on the receipts, "With all my heart thank you" "There is an American touch to that parcel" are the best evidence of the importance of this work.
 Then too, the Red Cross is able to cor respond with the prisoners families, keep ing them informed of their condition and whereabouts. Letters are sent back and forth, gifts of money and individual pack ages from friends and relatives are for warded. The Red Cross alone has permis- sion from both the United States Govern lnent and Germany to conduct this service.

SECRETARY BAKER, in making recent inspection tour of Red Cross activi- ties in France, said:
 When one is in the zone of the armies or in the supply areas, words of appreciation or praise for the American Red Cross seem superfuous. The foresight that has char acterized it's present and prospective opera tions has been source of pride to the commanding officer of the American forces and should be a source of comfort to the people of the United States, who, know, enabled it to carry on it's work and to ex- pand'

the Negro with freedom and placed in

No Cross of Gold Found
When Lake in Moscow Was
Drained to Find Treasure.

to contain a cross Of pure gold Is feet

About seven years ago, relates a
writer In Answers, the lake was actu-
ally drained, but no cross was found,
although the bed was scattered with
other relics Of Napoleon's retreat-re-
mains Of carts, horses, uniforms, etc.
There are many similar stories from
other parts. In the depth Of South
American lake over 5000, 900 worth Of
gold Is said to have been thrown by
Peruvian priests when fleeing from the
SpanIards, and the bed Of the Danube
Is the supposed hiding place Of Attila's
wealth.
Attila ordered that on his death the
Danube should be temporarily divert
ed from its course and that he should
be buried under the river bed with his
enormous fortune. This was done.
And after the river bed had been d.
yerted and then brought back again

had performed the work were killed,
