The following statement has been issued
by the American Red Cross War Counch:
Garry On-On February 10, last year,
nearly six weeks before the United States
declared war, National Red Cross head
quarters advised its chapters to prepare
for war. That which has followed, in the
record of the Red Cross in helping to WIN
this war and to relieve the suffering grow
ing out of it, must bring to Red Cross
workers a deep sense Of gratitude tor
their share in it all.
The moment is now come TO prepare
for peace. Actual peace may come at any
hour it may be deferred for some time.
Until peace is really here, there can bc no
relaxation in any Red Cross effort inc,-
dent TO active hostilities.
"But even with peace, let no ore sup
pose that the work Of the Red Cross If
finished Millions of American boys are
still under arms Thousands OF them are
sick or wounded. Owing to the shortage
OF shipping, II may take II year or more Ia
bring our boys home from France But,
whatever the time, o,ir protecting arms

over the whole period which must elapse
before the normal lite of peace can be re
