 COMPARABLE with Serbia is the case oYk ORoumania Rendered helpless by the enemyf advance, Roumania, too, gave the Red Cross an opportunity not for making nation more effect i've for war, but rather chance to help stricken people without hope of gain i The Red Cross Mission to Roumania found conditions impossible to describe; found inhabit- ants picking wild grass for food. In the little village of Seltiu, squalid shack of wood and mud was occupied by three little children Their mother had succumbed to typhus Their father was soldier at the front. The eldest, girl of ten, was acting as mother to boy of four and little sister of seven. The boy was lying help-' less on bag on the stone floor, his face eaten partly away by malignant skin disease. The bones stuck out all over his tiny body. The girl was little better off. There were neither rela- tives, friends, nor any Government agency to give relief to these unfortunate children.
 While it could, the Red Cross strove with alI its might to bring relief to this stricken land. But the determination of Roumania and the help of the Red Cross was not sufficient proof against the trying conditions which Roumania faced, and the last chapter of American Red Cross help for Roumania was written when the Queen of Rou- mania recently cabled the Red Cross:
 At this hour in the midst of tragic events my thoughts turn with gratitude towards those who in anxious days, but when there was still hope, came to my aid. wish once more to thank the American Red Cross for the splendid way in which it answered my appeal of few months ago. A terrible fate has obliged Colonel An- derson, who was ready to remain in spite of ad- verse circumstances, to leave with all his unit. The work the American Red Cross Mission did amongst OUT wounded and amongst the suffering population is unforgetable to me and my people. Now that my country has to remain alone and forsaken, I wish once more to raise my voice and to thank all those who helped me- and to ask that we and our nation should not be forgotten. I ask of the great heart of America to remember Rou- mania, if even for while. StranguIated, her cries will not reach it, and her tears will have to be wept in secret
 MARIE, QUEEN OF ROUMANIA
 < < <
 These are the situations that, multiplied almost without limit, challenge the American Red Cross The story of Red Cross help must necessarily be told in totals but for each unit there is ter. rible and pathetic story. Where the symbol oi the American Red Cross goes there is the re hinder to bruised souls that the long miles be tween cannot separate suffering from American sympathy.
 Then there is the great faith that America rich with wealth greater than any, with her ter ritory undist1rbed, can and will move with tb. spirit of devotion of which the Red Cross is symbol and to which it is servant.

 This is the last of series of five ann6Unc9 ments covering the work of the Red Cross.
 Red Cross Chapters have statements showing in detail how the War Fund is being expended Ask your Chapter for these statements.
