RED CROSS SUPPLIES.

The varied character of the supplies
which the American Red Cross pro-
vides for American soldiers and sail
ors is shown in the following list of
articles furnished in one recent month
to our fighting men in Great Britain !:
10000 sweaters. 10000 toothbrushes,
$4,000 pairs of socks, $4,000 pounds of
soap, 100000 boxes of matches, 800
baseball outfits, 500 mouth organs,
$4,000 packages of chewing gum,
100000 cigarettes. For handling
these supplies, the Red Cross has sew
en- warehouses in England and six in
ireland. At the Irish stations there
are stores Of clothing, first aid outfits
and other necessaries to provide
amply for any emergency which may
arise through the torpedoing of ships
carrying American soldiers or sailors.
If necessary, 5000 shipwrecked Amer.
leans could be QUILTED from head to
foot at one time from these emergency
depots. Advance arrangements have
also been made for billeting, housing
and feeding any number of men who
might unexpectedly be landed at port:
where there are no British military
camps.

ESTABLISH MODEL
FARMS IN France

A model farm has been established
by the American Red Cross at Courbet,
for it has been found that farm work
is one of the very best means of hasten
ing the recovery of those men suffering
from she'll shock. One farm of 500
acres has been laid out in the depart
ment of Indre-et-Loire that is planned
and is to be managed after the meth
DDS pursued in our own great farming
regions of the West.
Since these farms will be worked al
most entirely by the convalescent SOL
diers and those made unfit for active
service, the expense of maintenance
will be very little.
But the saving of human life will be
enormous. And every farmer in this
country who enrolls In the Christmas
Red Cross Roll Call will be helping in
directly to carry on this reconstruction
work among the mutilated soldiers In
France.

HoWFed Cross Has Fed italian
Il Prisoners.

Last snring the Red Cross workers
at Berne were busy arranging to care
for the American soldiers who We're
taken prisoners by The Germans, and
now the new exchange agreement
means that Italians from Austria on
their way back TO Italy are being
cared for in hundreds. They are pa
thetic lot, these grand blesses''-the
hopelessly wounded men-but they are
always delighted with the prospect of
going Shome, even though it may be
going home to die Nearly all of them
are tubercular
The method employed is this: The
Italian Government sends a train into
Austria through Switzerland to gather
up the men released under the ex-
change agreement. The train crosses
the Swiss border and at Buchs is. met
by delegations from the allied Red
Cross organi ;ations, and under the
present plan the food is furnished by
the American Red Cross. To many of
these men this is the first square meal
that they have had for years. Cloth
Ing is also furnished them. Each man
of the $50 which each train carries is
given cigarettes and a small American
flag. and many who have been in
America, some of whom have taken
out their first papers, are .overjoyed al
the bit of red, white and blue and most
demonstratiye in their delight.
The representative of the Red Cross
remain on the train until it reaches
Zurich, then return to Switzerland
again.
IT is the food which America has
sent over which gives to these men

saved by eating smaller portions, and
