Red Cross Information

Some idea of the care with which
women canteen workers in France are
handling the supply of food shipped
to them is indicated by the report
that they are able to make 600 jam
sandwiches out of two large cans of
peaches and a can of corn syrup.
Despite repeated letters written
from Northern Division headquarters
disclaiming all responsibility on the
part Of the Red Cross for chain let
ter schemes Of raising money such
letters continually pour into the Of
flee with requests for veriication
The Red Cross will not sponsor any
such idea for raising money since
there IS no assurance that it will be
devoted to the purpose for which it is
raised. #s...,
There are more than 1000 Ameri-
can girls; in active Red Cross ser
vice in France according to informa-
ton from Washington.
Tables have been received at ma
tional headquarters telling of the
work done at the military hospitals
by American. girls and their daily
routine. ,"-s, !.
Their working day is long. When
the hospital trains arrive they are
kept busy attending the wounded. Be-
tween times, however, they have brief
half hours during which they at
tend their war gardens.
War gardens are as much a part
of the French military hospital rou-
tine as the patients themselves. The
nurses and convalescent patients have
lot of fun growing them.
Full information regarding the con-
dition of soldiers who are taken i'll OF
are injured in camps in the United
States is to be transmitted to Their
families by the Red Cross, through
the suggestion Of Secretary of War
Baker.
The secretary submitted plan for
carrying out this work in the follow
ing letter to the American Red Cross
headquarters:
"Gentlemen: Since the American
Red Cross has already established ir
France, in accordance with an army
order, a service to keep families If
America in personal touch with theil
boys, i'll or wounded in the field, it is
suggested that this service be ex.
tended to the camps in the United
States. f .e~5
American Red Cross representa-.
tives at the camps here, as in France
would have access to daily lists Of ad.
missions and excavations from the
hospitals, and, so far as it is in &C.
cord with necessary medical rules
would be allowed to talk with sick
men. They would be expected to keer
families constantly informed as tt
conditions and progress of men ir
hospitals, to write letters for mer
unable to write themselves, and II
general to fulfill that clause of the
Red Cross charter which designates
the society as medium of commun.
cation between troops in the field anc
their families at home" ..1

PRESIDENT MAY
DISCUSS RUSSIA
IN BALTIMORE

That President Wilson will add
fresh word OF encouragement for
Russia in his Baltimore speech tomor-
row night was the conviction in
diplomatic quarters today. This view
was derivedfn part from the fact that
the President has counseled lately
with Charles r. Crane, Of Chicago,
who studied Russia at close range.
and with the White Eouse confidential
adviser, Colonel House.
Cranes views OF Russia-although
not of Trotsky and Lenine-are par
ticularly sympathetic, and in accord
with the Chief Executives. He be-
lieves that despite the chaos in the
Slav nation. there is a strong chance
10 get the Russians ultimately to cast
off the Teuton yoke.
The Presidents ideas on Russia
have been clearly elucidated in the
past, but IL is likely that he will en-
large on them now.
Incidentally, some liberals back
from Europe are urging that Presi-
dent Wilson recognize the Soviet gov
eminent OF Russia. This. they say,
would give a strong stimulus to the
rehabilitation OF Russia and over
throw Of Teutonism. 1t is urged that
the growing snti-Germsn spirit in
Russia should be cultivated, both for
its effect on Russia and for its effect
on that portion OF Germany opposed
to the rough-shod methods used on
Russia and Roumania.
