The Raymer enterprise., 1918-10-24

In the New England Bulletin Of the
American Red Cross there is a splen-
did review of its work during the past
year from which the following 10 an
extract under the title Of "rhe Human
Side"
"The American Red Gross recognizes
that our first duty for humanity in this
war is the protection of our soldiers
in France. II recognizes also that this
duty lies with the United States gov
ernment and that the government Is
responsible for 1t. AS supplement-
ary relief organization the Red Cross
stands ready to cooperate with the
government in this work, and to put
its organization, money and supplies
into service at the call of the Ameri-
can army whenever and wherever they
can be of use. Fully realizing the dis
advantages that are always met In a
foreign country, and with the view of
keeping our soldiers In touch with
things American, the Red Cross begins
at the port Of landing in France by
establishing rest stations. These rest
stations extend inland toward the
camps and are located In series at
junction points and railroad stations
where the soldiers are required to
wait for train connections.
"Chief work of the American Red
Cross in helping care for wounded sol
diers lies In its cooperation with the
government in supplying an efficient
nursing service: In assisting the Army
Medical corps in cases of emergency,
and In furnishing materials for hos
pitals. There We're on March l, 1918,
more than twenty-three hundred Amer
lean Red Cross nurses employed In
base hospitals and in the French MILL
tary hospitals throughout the republic.
The total number of hospitals of va
rious sorts In the French republic ex-
ceeds five thousand, and more than
half of these are receiving all or part
Jf their medical and surgical supplies
from the American Red Cross.

"The re-education of mutilated col

this work. The Red Cross has provid.
ed more than six hundred mutilated
soldiers with artificial legs of the best
type, and has established factory
near Paris where artificial limbs are
manufactured. BY arranging for con
sultation between the surgeon and the
manufacturer, the Red Cross has been
able to secure the best possible treat.
ment for each case.
With the wanton destruction OF
homes by the German army and the
uprooting of the population in the dev.
astated regions, the home as an in
stltution in France is In peril. Real.
izing this condition, the Red Cross Is
endeayoring to keep the soldiers
homes intact; to find homes for the
outcast children who have neither
homes nor parents, and to help the
refugees and repatries to find a place
to live until they shall be able to re
build their homes.
''The most telling work of the Red
Cross In France, as far as helping tc
win the war goes, Is tie care Of the
families of the French soldiers. The
Red Cross Is giving to the needy fam.
lilies oil these French soldiers supplies
and money, according to their needs.
"When the German army invaded
France, hundreds Of thousands OF
French people were driven from their
homes and are now scattered through.
out the republic. These people are
known as refugees. The number has
increased, of course, for various rea.
sons until now there are more than l..
10000, embracing all classes and ages
except able-Dodied men. There are ap.I
proxlmately 100000 refugees In Paris
alone.
"The housing Of these people Is one
of the greatest problems of the French
government. The American Red Cross
is cooperating with the French govern
ment in this work."
