The Red Cross Roll Call

Christmas Roll Call, when it is hoped to enroll
every man and woman in the United States in
this organization.
The work and record of the Red Cross needs
no explanation or defense. It has written its his
tory in acts of mercy and charity on the battle
fields of Europe, in the devastated districts of
France, Belgium, Serbia, in America-wherever
there has been call of distress the Red Cross has
answered
The conclusion of peace does not remove the
necessity of the Red Cross. "THE WORK OF
THE RED CROSS MUST GO ON' It's slogan is: :
GAS long as there are Americans under arms; as
long as there is misery and distress, the work of
the Red Gross is essential and must continue"

"SELL|NC BABIES TO
SOLDIERS" HIS JOB
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Dec. 10.-"Selling babies to
soldiers" is Murray G. Sawyer's char
acterization of his activities as Red
Triangle man with the American Ex-
peditionary Force. Mr. Sawyer comes
from Minneapolis, MINI.
Horrible, isn't it, but true" he said
to friend who met him in French
village and asked what he was doing.
my particular outfit of men have sold
ten babies in the last ten days and
we expect to sell a hundred more
within the next two months. Why, 1t
is the greatest business In France to-
day-this selling Of babies to soldiers.
Eve have been working with a
bunch of men up pretty close to the
front lately, and when pay day comes
around there's nothing much to do
with their money. So we Y. M. C. A.
men began to figure out something to
Offset that.
There are SO men in a platoon, and
we suggested that platoon should
adopt a baby on pay day. 1t costs
500 francs to take care of baby for
one year, and that meant that all but
nine men in platoon should pay 5
francs each on the first instalment,
and francs each on the following
pay day. Making a payment each
time of $50 francs, or the 500 in all.
Each platoon elects a leader who acts
as go-between, for the babies are
bought through the baby Department
of the Stars and Stripes. On the pay
ment of the second and final install
ment the leader gets seven pictures
of the child in various poses.
at will be possible for one platoon
to take up six babies year, for it
would mean about a dollar from each
man on every pay day, which comes
around about twice in two months.
One man said to me the other day,
Gee, Sawyer, this baby business is
great. Who wouldn't rather have a
baby than jag"
"And that's the way we Y. M. c. A.
men have figured it out. We have sold
ten babies in ten days and we are 60
ing to place one hundred right in our
Division before next pay day rolls
around"
