WHAT BOYS SAY
ABOUT RED CROSS

Since the soldiers overseas have
been informed by their officers that
the American Red Cross will play San
ia Claus this Christmas for all the
boys in khaki who have no relatives
in the United States, Red Cross Head
quarters at Washington has been re-
celving hundreds of appeals. Incl
dentally the men at the front have
taken this time to express their ap-
probation for the work done by the
Red Cross "Over There"
Following are few excerpts taken
at random from letters incloslng

III Is believed that some time during
the week at least one performance of
the masque, 1.-THE Roll Call" especial
ly written by Mr.. Percy Mackaye, with
stage settings designed by Robert Ed
mond Jones, will he given in every
community. This has but twelve
speaking parts and Is arranged espe-
cially for Community presentation,
with men, women and children in the
pantomime parts. 1t can be given
either deliberately or very simply, as
conditions warrant In its dramatic
theme 1t expresses the emancipation
OF the human spirit from tyranny
through the humanizing agency of the
American Red Cross Copies of the
masque, as well as directions for cos
tuning and incidental music, can be
secured at Red Cross Headquarters In
every town and city.
One Of the most novel and interest
Ing features of the campaign promises
to be the One-day and One Hour plan
of enrolment. This consists of divid-
ing the community into units of one
hundred houses, the idea being to have
sufficient workers to canvass these

The official uniform worn by Roll
Call workers will be cap and arm
brassard. These are to be made of
red flannel and small paper circle In
white will carry the Red Cross en-
blem. This uniform will serve both as
protection against the INSCRIPTIONS and
as an aid to the workers themselves.
Corporations, business firms and in
dustries will be supplied with a 1907
Service flag.
There will be no Christmas sale of
tuberculosis seals this year. Instead,
the Red Cross has made a direct ap-
preparation of $4,000 for this work,
and ten seals will be awarded each
person who joins the Roll Call as a
reminder of the very important work
being done by the National Tubercu-
losls Association.

again, a Christmas story. This Red
Cross Institute will, in SO far as is hu.
manly possible, have the relative who
will be responsible for the care OF the
blind man when he returns home, take
the government training, side by side
with him, as is now done by the British
and French. With this full under
standing at home of his difficulties and
possibilities, many an ambition at first
undreamed of may be fulfilled.
Through the gift of Jeremiah Mil
bank Of New York the Red Cross was
enabled to establish in New York its
experimental Red Cross Institute for
Crippled and Disabled Men. One Of
its principal objects is to assist in the
general campaign of public education
regarding the results which can be ac-
complished by Systematically refrain
ing disabled men for occupations In
which they can successfully compete
with able-bodied men.

tn HE American Red Cross has be-
come very active In that part OF
Russia surrounding Vladvos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted In saving thousands of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the CZecho- Slovak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and Is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advlces received from Vladi-
vostok report that more than 10000
Czecho-S lovak refugees, 1000 of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganization is attending hundreds of
wounded Czecho-Slovak soldiers who
have reached Vladivostok after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against
the pro-German forces.
The condition Of the refugees, who
were found living In tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way west Of Hardin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the Bolsheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners
The work of administering to the
wounded CZecho- Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
Bolsheviki-German peace, and reliev-
ing the distress of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention of
the American Red Cross The relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo
ser, American consul and head Of the
Red Cross chapter at Hardin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds In Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.

NO FIXED QUOTAS FOR 1919.

SO great is the faith of the American
Red Cross In the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment of
members In the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number of people In their ju-
risdictions. The Roll Call will be fin
ished only when every available per-
son, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled. Children may join only
through the Junior Red Cross Auxilia-
ries. and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents year. The chief
aim in enrolling is not to raise money
but to increase the membership. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.00 per year, but priv
ilege will be given to enroll as a Con-
tributing Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000, Life Member at
5000 or Patron at $4,000.

Our government, the Medical De-

entrance in the war, have been work
ing out the tasks preparatory to this
reconstruction, which Is the key-word
to their usefulness and happiness.
The work itself is already begun in
the hospitals where our returned men
have been brought.
This has meant the equipment OF
hospitals, the recruiting of the doc
tors and nurses and the formulation of
plans for training for vocations, which
means independence, replacing activi-

CARING FOR THOSE
WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND

Because of her continued absence
from school and the fact that she lived
In rather an undesirable neighborhood
and was on the streets all day a school
teacher recently brought to the atten-
ton Of the Home Service department
of the Red Cross the story of girl Of
ten years whose mother was Ill and
whose only other relatives were two
brothers, one In camp and the other a
youth of seventeen whose earnings
seemed to be the only means of sup
port for the family.
The Home Service worker called,
found the mother very III and needing
hospital care at once. Arrangements
were made for the mothers care and
also for a home for the girl In the
country where she would receive real
home training and love. The mother
grew worse and died soon afterwards.
The seventeen-year-old boy enlisted.
The boy in camp had not known that
his mother needed his help, but was
glad to contribute from his pay when
the true circumstances were made
known. The girl is now in the coun-
try, going to school, and Is receiving
allotments from both of her brothers
and is well cared for. She is under
the watchful care of the Home Service
workers and comes to them often for
