Tho first war problem OF the Red
Cross was TO raise money. So It APP
pealed to the American people. and got
more than It asked. Its second prob
lem was to get articles Of relief man
ufacturcd on Il vast scale at low cost.
So II appealed to the American women.
and got more than II asked. and got II
for nothing.
Tho American women are no less
wonderful than the American army. In
the month OF January. 1918. they man
ufactured almost as many surgical
dressings and knitted garments as they
had manufactured In six months OF
the proceeding year both because the
need was better realized and because
they had learned how.
Because this labor ia free and be-
cause most OF the men who officer the
various headquarters volunteer their
service. Red CT oss Is enabled to work
at an astonishingly small cost. It's
membership fees pay its operating e1-
penses and leave free for relief every
dollar that Is subscribed for that pur-
pose.
The two great departments Of Red
Cross activity are military relief and
civilian relief. Upon the first the SOL
dlers are directly administered to. but
under the second the soldiers receive
1t is civilian relief which cares for
tho soldiers family and leaves him free
from domestic anxiety to fight his
country's battles. The department OF
military relief has spent approximate
~ 3S.5oo.000 in America in connection
with camp and cantecn service. conva-
lescent homes and base hospitals.
If this seems small as compared with
the si7,ooo.ooo appropriated for Europe.
II must be borne in mind that money
IN Europe is spent largely in antici-
patton OF the arrival Of American SOL
diers. The great hospitals and arrange
monts for soldiers comfort built in
France are in expectation of his needs.
Red Cross preceded him TO Europe.
Moreover. II must be remembered that
a French soldier Kept in the trenches
IS equal 10 an American soldier sent
to the trenches. We are all fighting
the same war.
The d:sproportion between the
amounts spent in America and in Eu-
rope is. OF course, due TO the fact that
the war is being fought IN Europe:
and ono prime reason why 30 much
more money has been appropriated to
France than TO any other place is that
our share OF the war will in all prob
ability continue TO be fought on the
soil OF France
The American soldier will become
more intimately acquainted with Red
Cross In France than in America Here
he Will find a great variety OF hos
pita!s. rest stations. Cantccns. anbu-
lanccs and all the sanitary appur,e-
nanccs OF war. These he will use IN
companlonship with his French and
Belgian brothers in arms. for In the
conception or mercy which Red Cross
holds, the obligations TO our allies ia
| little less than the obligation to our
own fighting men. Our duty faith

Building n Great Army

q FEW days ago the Secretary of War au.
thorlZed the announcement that more
than 100000" American troops had been sent
TO france How many more he did not
state for reasons that are Obvious. This
Highly important piece o, news was almost
immediately followed by the further an
nouncement that by June 100000 addi-
tional men will have been ordered to report
at training camps. making n total OF about
100000 men called to arms under the
selective service act. giving this country for
The first time in its history military force
OF approximately 100000. At no time dur
ing the War Between the States did the COM
bined Union and Confederate forces even an
proXimate that number
Before the end Of this calendar year it is
practically certain that 5000 900 American
citizens will have joined the army; perhaps
100000 will have entered the naval service:
100000 will be in the marine CORPS; many
more will be in the transport service. to say
nothing OF tho hundreds OF thousands who
will be engaged in shipbuding, in muniton
manufacturing and other industries imme-
diately associated with the war. 1t is not
too much to say that 5000, 900 men will be
in some arm OF the service or in some in
dustry vital to the military and naval estab-
lishments.
This is what it means TO put a great coun-

There is a definite form OF activity for every

is natural feeling, but those who are con-

the fact that they are not fighting in tho
