Red Cross Opens School to Help the
Manned In Battle for Existence.

The American National Red Cross
has established In New York city a
school for the training of crippled men
In trades or occupations In which they
can engage In spite of their physical
handicaps. The school is known as
the Red Cross Institute for Crippled
and Disabled Men. A gift of over
$4,000 by Mr.. Jeremiah Mllbank Of
New York made possible the establish
ment of this institute.
The facilities of the institute will
also be at the disposal of the Govern
ment for the rehabilitation of crippled
soldiers and sailors.
The activities of the institute, which
Is already under operation, include an
employment bureau for crlpples. indus
trial and commercial training classes
for disabled men. and departments of
scientific research and popular educa-
ton. Members of the institutes staff
have been engaged for the past six
months in studying the experience of
the European countries in reconstruct
ing their disabled soldiers.

CROSS HELPS
10000 FAMILIES
IN Three STATES
TlDlNG PEOPLE OVER PERIODS
OF STRESS.
Home Service Sections Render
Many Kinds of Assistance to
Soldiers and Sailors
Dependents.

About 10000 dependent families of
American soldiers and sailors are re-
ceiving material assistance or advice
from Home Service Sections of Red
Cross Chapters in the Atlantic Divi-
sion of the Red Cross. This state
ment was made by Alexander NJ. Will
son, Division Director of Civilian Re
lief. Three states, New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, comprise the
jurisdiction of the Division.
The majority of the families which
already have applied to the Red Cross
were in need of temporary assistance
to tide them over until such time as
the Government, through its War Risk
Insurance Bureau, was prepared TO
provide for them. The Red Cross is
giving many kinds of assistance
to these families-assistance which
ranges from outright gifts of money to
free medical aid and advice.
Every week the number of families
reported as seeking help from the Red
Cross increases. The Red Cross is
well equipped not only to assist the
families already under its care but
it is prepared, it has announced, to
render service to many others. 1t
wants to be informed of the plight of
all persons experiencing wan or
worry as a result of the absence of a
husband, father, son Or brother who
is in the service.
Various Kinds of Help.
People who are waiting for their
allowances may feel that the Govern
ment is Slow said Mr.. Wilson, but
when we consider that the Wal Risk
Insurance Bureau was organized in
Washington only about the first of
November, that the checks were being
issued by the last of December-then
we feel that the Government has or
ganized this bureau with incredible
speed.
while the Home Service Sections
of the Red Cross are prepared at all
times to render all the help they can
for dependent families, it is in a stu
alton such as this, when dependents
are waiting for allotments from the
Government. that the Red Cross can
render the most effective assistance
TO the families of our fighting men.
"Our work has infinite variety.
What is more, 1t Is confidential. We do
everything, from giving families out
right gifts Of money to making merely
a small loan or tracing a check or let

GATHERING INFORMATION
THROUGH PARIS OFFICE.
Details of Casualties at the Front
Given to Soldiers
Relatives.

To give relatives of American sol
diers details OF casualties at the front
the American Red Cross has organized
at national headquarters a Bureau of
Communication, of which William r..
Castle, Jr., formerly Assistant Dean
of Harvard College and editor of the
Harvard Graduates Magazine, is di-
rector. This Bureau supplements in
a personal and humanitarian way the
reports of the Statistical Division of
the War Department, which gives to
relatives official notice when a soldier
is reported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally results
from the official report to relatives
that a soldier has been wounded or
Is missing" will as far as possible be
dispelled by the Bureau, which will
advise in detail the nature and extent
of the wound, and will gather evidence
from comrades In arms and at the hos
pitfalls and rest camps regarding those
reported missing

Any information of interest or con-

be transmitted to them through per-
sonal letters. Messages from the
wounded will be conveyed through
this same agency.
The information on which the Blu
reau will base its reports is gathered
through a central office in Paris. under
the direction of d.. Gerry Chadwick

assistants.
With the increase of the American
forces and participation in the war,
this number will have to be greatly
increased.
For the present the Bureau is re-
porting on all cases that come to it's
attention. However, it is probable
that with the increase of reports from
the front, information will be sent
only to relatives requesting it, except
in cases of those imprisoned or re-
ported missing"
Food For Prisoners.
There is a Red Cross service in
Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany
and Austria. In the London Office of
the British Red Cross more than two
hundred women are constantly en-
ployed in communicating with rela-
t1ves of soldiers and their card index
already covers more than three mil
lion cases reported on.
The Bureau will receive through the
International Red Cross Office at
Geneva, Switzerland. the list of Amer
lean prisoners supplied officially by
the German government. In cases of
imprisonment the Bureau reports to
relatives, after which the case is re-
ferred to the Red Cross Bureau of
American Prisoners Relief, of which
Franklin Abbot is director.
The American Red Cross Commit
tee in Berne sends each American
prisoner, every two weeks, three ten
pound food packages. These subsist-
ent stores are provided by the govern
ment and the American Red Cross. A
sufficient quantity of supplies is now
on the way to Switzerland to care for
10000 American prisoners for a period
of six months. This Bureau is also
the sole agency licensed by the War

We will say this much: that
there are a great number of peo-
pie in this country Of German
blood who are as loyal and patri
otto as anybody. We have no ar
gument with this class Of people
and respect them as they deserve
And when we attack pro Germans
we surely do not mean people of
German blood who are loyal t.
this country. You see a pro Ger

he Of German blood. You will
