Washington, May 23.-How the Red
Cross relief organization in France
met the crisis thrust upon it by the
recent great German offensive, when
its lines were driven back together
with those of the French and British
armies is one of the inspiring stories
of that greater of worlds battles.
Caught suddenly on the edge of the
vast conflict and in danger of being
overwhelmed by the great number of
refugees and wounded soldiers fleeing
before the German onrush, the Red
Cross relief army, too, was compelled
to fall back and, while maintaining
its organization and preserving its
supplies, had to give every possible
aid to the refugees and soldiers.
A narrative of how this was achiev-
ed and how the new Red Cross lines
in the rear were organized even while
the relief work was in progress has
been received from Paris at the Red
Cross headquarters here.
AS soon as the drive started" the
story reads, Major Perkins, head of
the American Red Cross, called some
aides together and made his plans.
Of course the first problem was to as
sure the safety of the workers in the
field and that incidentally has been as
sured. But it was not just a question
of rushing back to safety. No such
simple ignominious plan occupied for
an instant the thoughts of any relief
worker. They were to retire in good
order and work every second for the
refugees and the soldiers. Other
workers and a great mass of material
were to be rushed forward from Paris.
"Just as the German drive tested the
resources of the allies, so, iiidiiaf sstsy
it tested every relief organization. It
was necessary to connect the relief
work under field general, to keep
the transportation lines between all
the various stations of the Red Cross
in the field connected, to work on
big plan SO that the work instead of
decreasing could grow.
IF you will take a map showing the
present territory affected by the
great battle you can follow the plan
of withdrawal which Major Perkins
and his staff worked out The Red
Cross workers who were nearest the
battle when it broke were those in
Ham and at Croix Molignaux, north
east of Ham. From Ham, Croix- Mo-
lignaux, Nesle and Grecourt, where
there were construction warehouses
and stats and medical relief workers,
including small hospital for babies,
they drew back on Roye. And on Sun
day an organized Red Cross line was
formed which stretched from Amiens
to Montdidier ,Lassigny, Noyon and
Scissors.
"The, next withdrawal was to the
present line where a perfected chain
of stations to help refugees has been
developed. From Beauvais on the
west it passes through Clermont,
Compeigne and Scissors.
"Compeigne is where field headquar-
tiers have been established. AS the
most advanced Red Cross workers
withdrew from their posts, reinforce

ments were sent from the rear. When
the flrst accommodating party arrived
there, they found that there was work
to do helping the refugees with whom
the roads were crowded. Back thew
dashed TO Paris to give the word. And
back again to Compiegne with orders
rand supplies. But the refugees were
no longer alone in the roads. There
were soldiers also. Though the first
plan had been to help the refugees at
this point, the assistance was also
turned over to the soldiers.
THE Red Cross men arrived for
their second visit to Compeigne on a
moonlight night. Uncouth German
aviators were flying low and their ma
chine guns were beating a tattoo on
the town while from time to time a
bomb dropped. AS one man said while
his car sped through the moonlight,
There was just piece of canvas be-
tween me and hell
"a bomb had dropped on three army
trucks standing close together. Their
gasoline tanks exploded and flame
shot up through the clear night. Com
piegne was not pleasant place that
night But the relief workers were
stuck there in spite of machine guns
and bombs. Finally they found the
hotel which had been abandoned and
taken over as emergency Red Cross
headquarters.
"a Red Cross hospital at Annel, fif-
teen miles north of Compiegne had
been evacuated, but the American
doctors stuck to their posts which was
most fortunate for there the Red
Cross had a fine supplyYof material
which was transported back to Com
fsiegne not only for che soldiers pass
ing through but also for the emer-
geney canteen at the station which the
DAILY unit, unit of hospital aides af-
filiated with the Red Cross, had estab-
lished at that point.
So the line drew back from Beauvis
to Scissors and with the field organ
ization establishing itself solidly and
calmly. Fine work is being done at
Beauvais and the movement of sup
plies is now fully organized The ref
ugees problem has only begun for the
Red Cross, because that organization
has the intention of following the
great body of the refugees to their
final destinations further south and
continuing to help them.
"The Red Cross kept its field or
ganization intact but some warehouses
and construction work were destroyed.
The stores were partly saved and part
ly given over to the soldiers to take,
the rest being burned so that the bar
barians should not benefit by them
Every one worked his hardest and the
drivers especially deserve the highest
praise. The spirit of the armies
caught hold of all the other workers.
The refugees were resigned but I'M
complaining and throughout those
twelve days of crisis spirit was
shown by all concerned that should
teach even the Germans that though
they may have taken some territory
they have not conquered one bit of the
spirit of the Allies"
