THE TRAIN THAT SAVED

How the Red Gross Helped

Have you heard of what happened
In Roumania when that stricken nation
stood in rags and starving before the
shocked eyes Of the world? We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag-
edies until this greater horror struck
a blow that reused still untouched
sympathies.
And yet We felt SO helpless, you and
!. so terribly weak in our ability to of.

were we not the very ones who car.
ried new life and hope to the heart of
ROumania7 You shall be your own

Fighting with the desperation of de-
spair, the shattered Roumanlan army

trampling the life out of the little
kingdom. And the Kaiser smiled bru.

No country around RoumanIa could

cars packed to their utmost capacity
with food. clothing and medicine, tons
upon tons Of 1t, had arrived in Jassy
after making record breaking trip
from the great store houses of the
American Red Cross in Russia. Other
trains followed 1t; thousands were fed

For weeks and even to this day the
brave people of Roumania are being
cared for in countless numbers by our

So was Roumania helped, and when
