AMERICAN RED CROSS

General Pershing. commander-in-
chief of the american Expeditionary
Force, has designated the American
Red Cross as the only relief society
authorized to undertake the work !
of locating and administering to the
American wounded who have been
removed to the various hospitals in
France. This order was issued fol-
lowing the receipt OF many applics-
tions from n,ilitarizad civilians ask
ing permission to vis;, wounded
Americans who are UNDERGOING
treatment in French hospitals. 1t
is designed to conform to the policy
adopted to centralize the activities
of relief organizations overseas and
to facilitate the most necessary
work of the American Red Cross
with the army in France.
In the 83 departments Of France
there is an avegase Of SO hospitals
to a department., totaiing about
1850 French hospitals. To cover
these hospitals Systematically in
order to find and Keep in touch with
the American wounded assigned
thereto, the American Red Cross is
perfecting a complete cud thorough
method of organizing france into
nine zones. Each zone will embrace
certain departments and the full
responsibility for the work will be
decentralized to the American Red
Cross officially in charge of the
zone. The plan provides. in part
| for the enlistment of the American
women residing in France with a
view to appointing them local agents
for the American Red Cross, that
they may carry on Whatever WORK
may be outlined for them in con
nection with the service in the
French hospital.
| Not only will this plan of organ
zation provide for much better ser
ivice to French hospitals than here
tofore has been possible on the par
of the Red Cross, but it will accom-
; plish an added good also, in that i
will actually employ a great mum
