CARING FOR THOSE
WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND

Because of her continued absence
from school and the fact that she lived
in rather an undesirable neighborhood
and was on the streets all day a school
teacher recently brought to the atten-
ton Of the Home Service department
Cf the Red Cross the story of girl Of
ten years whose mctLer was i'll and
whose only other relatives were TWO
brothers, one in camp and the other a
youth If seventeen whose earnings
seemed to be the only means of sup
port for the family.
The H5me Service worker called,
found he mother very i'll and needing
hospital care at once. Arrangements
were made for the mothers care and
also for a home FOR the girl in the
country where she would receive real
home training and love. The mother
crew worse and died soon afterwards.
She seventeen -year-old boy enlisted.
The hoy in camp had not known that
his mother needed his help, but was
glad to contribute from his pay when
ghe true circumstances were made
known. The girl is now in the coun-
tFy, going to school, and IS receiving
ajlotments from both of her brothers
ana is well. cared for. she is under
the watchful care Of the Home Service
workers and comes to them often for

Problems of Reconstruction Confront American Fe
Cross With New Tasks and New Responsibilities.

When American soldiers, blinded il
battle, recover from their immediate
wounds at the base hospitals in France
special work for them is commenced.
Later they are brought to the United
States Military General Hospital No.
z, at Baltimore, for further medical
and surgical treatment and special
teaching. The ideal of the government
will be to place every blinded man In
condition to take care of himself and
those dependent on him. In many
cases, it is hoped, the men will he able
to command larger >alary pfter TAX
ing their training than before they lost
their sight. =
American Red Cross has supple
mented the Army's plan by creating
the Red Cross Institute for the i ind.
One of its functions will be to provide
certain financial aid to equip lhe blind
man after his re-education is cCmp}et-
ed, as, for instance, furnishing type
writer's to those who enter CONNER
cial life. 1t will be uncGrthing new 0c-
cupations, helping to establish homes
and arrange home work for those who
cannot go into offices or factories.
But 1t will do something else that is,

During these Christmases, when
men in the trenches and on mined seas
sing carols; when our country glows to
its uttermost boundaries with the sym.
boil of the Red Cross; when the most
earthbound look for awhile at the
crosses and the Stars-new under
standings, new simplicities, new will
ingness for service come to very many
men and women.
And as our soldiers and sailors who
went out young and strong and singing
the Long, Long Trail" and "Over
There" now come back crippled and
disabled, Americans are seeing more
and more their own part and reSDonSi'
hility In reconstruction. This work
means teaching the blind to see. CIV
ing movement to the paralyzed, power
to the remnants of arms and legs to
do full duty, the chance Of health to
the tubercular, light to minds be-
logged by shell shock.
Our government, the Medical De
partment of the Army and the Ameri'
can Red Cross, from the time Of our
entrance in the war, have been work
ing out the tasks preparatory to this
reconstruction, which is the key.word
to their usefulness and happiness
The work itself Is already begun In
the hospitals where our returned men
have been brought.
This has meant the equipment OF
hospitals, the recruiting of the doc
tors and nurses and the formulation OF
plans for training for vocations, which
means independence, replacing acttvt'
ty for inactivity.
For this physical reconstruction In
our military hospitals at home, ouI
government, through the Office Of the
Surgeon General, Is asking for recon
struction aids. This hospital service
is open to hundreds, indeed thousands

service have been technically barred

ME american Red cross has be-
come very active in that part of
Russia surrounding Vladivos-
tok. and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted in saving thousands Of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the Czecho- Sloyak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi-
vOstok report that more than 10000
Czecho-Slovak refugees, 1000 of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that CITY. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganizatiOn Is attending hundreds Of
wounded Czecho-Slovak soldiers who
have reached Vladivostok after weeks
~ he most desperate fighting against
g.. l-u-German forces.
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way west Of Harbin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers. though
there are many ccRl miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the BOlsheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the
wounded CzechO-Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
Bolsheviki-German peace, and reliey-
ing the distress of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention Of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles K. Mo-
ser, American consul and head of the
Red Cross chapter at Harbin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds In Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.
