CANTEEN SERVICE FOR
SAmMIES IN FRANCE
Red Cross To Serve Boys In The Front
Line Trenches

The American Red Cross has Just
arranged to establish with the Amerir
can troops in France a front line can
teen service similar to that through
which they have served more than
q million poilus with hot drinks during
the last six months, according to
cable just received by the War Coun-
ell from Major James H. Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner to France.
This will consist Of rolling canteens
stationed close behind the front line
trenches. There are now fifteen OF
these operating behind the French
lines, from which fifty or more large
receptacles of hot drinks are sent for
ward daily, usually in the small hours
Of the morning. These drinks are
i served free to the men going on OF
i coming off duty.
! This service has proven of such
value to the French that the Ameri.
can army has asked the Red Cross to
have this service directly in touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front. The work is often done
under heavy shell fire and requires
men Of great bravery and sympathy.
The American army officers are man
ifesting a keen interest in having this
service at the disposal Of the American
troops and have asked the Red Gross
to enlist a substantial number OF mel
of the highest caliber to undertake
this work. It will be performed at tn
point nearest the firing line at whicl
civilians are permitted.
