Under YOUR Commission to France
the work has been carefully organized,

Your Red Cross is thus extending
relief to the armies and navies of our
Allies:~We are told by those hes. IN

that the efforts of your Red Cross TO
aid the soldiers and to sustain the NOR

"What the Red Cross may be called
upon to do in the further course of the
