A SCORE Of REASONS
FOR THE RED CROSS
It Is Playing a Big Part in tho
War for Democracy.

What does 1t mean to you to know
that your America Red Cross:
Is supporting $4,000 French children.
Sends supplies to 3.42S French MILL
tary hospitals. te--
Provides 1900 French hospitals with
surgical dressings.
Is operating 80 canteens at the front
line.
II operating six other canteens at
French railway functions, serving
10000 French soldiers a day.
Operates a movable hospital In four
units accommodating 1000 men.
Is operating q children's refuge in one
part of the war zone, and in another
q medical center and travelling dis
pensary, both capable Of accommo.
dating more than 1900 children.
Has opened q long chain Of ware
houses stocked with hospital sup
plies, food, soldiers comforts, to-
bacco, blankets, ETC., all the way
from the seaboard to the Swiss
frontier
Has warehouse capacity for 100000
tens.
Has 400 motor cars and operates seven
garages, making al repairs.
Has shipped 48 freight car loads Of
assorted supplies to Italy from
France within tive weeks after IL
began operating in the former coun-
try. -
Had a battery of motor ambulances
at the Piave front four days after
the United States declared war on
Austria. e -
Started a hundred different activities
in Italy at the time that nation was
in it's most critical condition.
Has established FIVE hospitals In Eng.
land and operates a workshop for
+ hospital supplies employing 1000
women.
And that 10000 cases of supplies
have been received 'at the Paris
headquarters Of the American Red
Cross from your various chapters
scattered throughout the United
States
What does all this mean to your
And have told you but fraction Of
the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. 1t means that without
this ceaseless, heroic work of the
American Red Cross, we could never
win this war.
without your Red Cross thousands
in Rumania would have starved to
death.
without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port of the United States in the hour
of need.
without your Red Cross thousands
Of French soldiers now CALAMITY fight
ing for you at the front would have
died Of wounds, exposure and lack Of
food.
But. now we must all redouble our
efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross
because--a million mothers sons are
going to carry the stars and stripes
to the greatest victory God has ever
given to men fighting for honor and
liberty.
With the help of your Red Cross
your boy will WIN.
