YOUR RED CROSS
An Army Withom Gan
Bv MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the vIslIantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
! mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days. the Red Cross surpasses it UNNECESSARILY not
only in the range and variety of its effort, but III
efficiency and effectiveness.
The Red Cross is, we may say, the arms OF the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army ,Oithoat a gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner Of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to war with spirit of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency Of humanity presses
close behind them; that its work is not incidental
but the intelligent directed effort Of one Of the
most marvellous organizations ever contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds, again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet again! For this is war for
the defense of civilization and we Of great free,
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army Of the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.

STRETCHING PARIS TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF FRANCE
THE RED CROSS HAS HELPED WHERE GOV.
ERNMENTS WERE HELPLESS

The avalanche of refugees that
swept into Paris from the north Of
France had been the despair of the
civil authorities. These homeless,
stunned people were new responsi-
bility to be added to the thousands Of
wounded men that came steadily from
the shambles Of the west front.
Paris Is an old city. 1t was not

poor hospitality by offering up its gar
rets. New building construction SEEM
ed impossible. Men were scarce. The
mechanic was either manning the
trenches or fighting the fight in the
war factories. Paris was distracted.
1t Is wonderful indeed how nobly
Paris tried to meet this condition.
And it is remarkable how Paris met 1t
with the aid of our own Red Cross.
Unhampered by red tape or precedent,
our Red Cross put on overalls and

A Little Story With q Big
Thought in It.

! A month ago the Red Cross chapter
In Bay City, Mich, received hurry.
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 48 hours. A request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years Of age, each eager to lend
d hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. ALI day
long the fingers Of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making OF
the bags counted those completed and
announced that If every one Of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls. the little sisters, were wait
+ ing for her at the door as she de.
parted.
