And that 100, 900 cases of supplies have
been received at the Paris headuar-

What does all this mean to YOU?
And have told you but fraction of
the work your Red Cross has done

American Red Cross. we could never
win this war
Without your Red Cross thousands
in Rumania would have starved to
DEATH
Without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port of the United States in the hour
of need.
Without your Red Cross thousands
of French soldiers not CALAMITY fight
ing for you at the front would have
died Of wounds, exposure and lack of
food.
But now we must redouble our eff
forts and sacrifices for our Red Cross
because-a million mothers sons are
going to carry the stars and stripes
