HOW RED CROSS
AIDS IN FRANCE
Premier Gables to America
the Thanks of His
Government.

Washington. D. C., HAY 1.-THE
story Of how $4,000 homeless French
refugees were fed by the American
Red Cross recently is contained in a
cable, received at the national head
quarters Of the organization here,
which voices the appreciation and
thanks OF premier Clemenceau.
Il thank you heartily" the premier
said, FOR the generous help given by
your organization when you sent the
$4,000 refugees at stomer provisions.
This was but one Of many instances
Of your bounty toward the French
population. sorely tried by their en-
ergetc attitude toward the enemy.
And I trust all the world Will realize
how fully these refugees merit the
interest the Red Cross is taking in
them, as we realize it here. Please
allow me 10 be the interpreter Of
their gratitude"
The Red Cross was asked by pre-
mier Clemenceau's secretary whether
il could supply milk. cheese. beef and
flour 70 feed $4,000 refugees from the
war zone who were gathered at StO-
mer. When a French refugee train
left Paris six hours later il carried
five tons of condensed milk, two and
half tons Of cheese, two and half
tons OF canned beef and two and
half tons Of flour from the American
Red Cross More Red Cross food
was shipped on the next train and in
answer to an appeal from the French
minister Of war the Red Cross shipped
IS beds for refugee children being
housed in a convent in the south Of
France.
In this manner the American Red
Cross continues 10 succor the brave
men and women OF France; in this
way are spent the dollars which the
American public gave for the pur-
pose last June. And a portion Of the
money which the American people
viii be called upon to give in the
war fund campaign, which is for
