Paris Alerte Summons
Red Cross Ambulances
twenty-five Men Rush to Scene When
Buildings Are Struck by Bombs.

The sounding of the alerte or air
raid alarm in Paris summons twenty
five American Red Cross ambulance
men to report instantly to the ambu-
lance garage. These men are provided
with gas masks, put on steel helmets
and warm up ten to fifteen ambu-
lances. If the Boche plane succeeds
in planting a bomb on a building the
Paris Police Department flashes word
to the garage at the same time that
the Fire Department in the district is
called. AS many ambulances as are
needed start on a rush through the alb
solutely black streets to the scene of
the disaster. Once there, the Red
Cross doctors and crews care for the
wounded and join with the pompiers,
or fremen, in rescuing any persons
caught in the wreck.
Rescuing Raid Victims.
A typical alarm reached the garage
one morning at one o'clock. A bomb
had struck a five story building and
crumbled the top floors into a mass of
wreckage, supported only by the slen-
der iron pillars of the ground floor.
The ambulance and firemen made their
way into the wreck from the real base
mem and heard a mar calling for help
from the front of the building. By the
aid of flash lights two firemen and two
ambulance men, treading like cats lest
they might bring down a mass of
beams, finally got within fifteen feet
of the imprisoned tenant. The res
cuers crowded through a narrow rent
in a wall into a small room, where a
single thin iron pillar held up hun
dreds of tons of debris. A hole vas
cut into the wall, only to find an iron
stove in the way! This stove was
smashed with hatchets and drawn,
piece by piece, through the hole in the
wall. One Of the Eaen crawled through
and got the victim, who vas hurt, but
fortunately not seriously. While they
were moving him there came a sudden
slipping-a crash overhead. Fortu-
nately the little iron pillar held, and
the party was able to back out into
the alley, carrying the injured man.
He was placed in a Red Cross ambu-
lance and rushed to a hospital.
When the rescue group took another
look at the front of the building they
found hat the slip had piled thirty
feet of solid wreckage in the room
where the stove had been.

RED CROSS BUILDING FORTY
NURSES HOUSES AT CAMPS

The American Red Cross is planning
forty Nurses Recreation Houses, to
be built, It the request and with the
approval of the Surgeon General, at
the environments and base hospitals in
connection with nurses barracks. All
of these buildings will be in use within
the next two months, judging by the
speed with which Red Cross work has
been completed in the past. Already
in many places these club houses, with
their white walls and red roofs, are go
ing up under the eyes of the nurses
themselves.
The general purpose is to provide
every comfort for the nurses serving
in the cantonment and base hospitals.
The main room, 30 by rs feet, will
have a great open fireplace along n
side. Although the room ordinarily
will be used as a living room, it will
also be adapted for an assembly hall
and can be used for dances and recep-
tons.
Overlooking this room is a small bal
cony, from which motion pictures can
be thrown on the wall opposite. Open
ing off this same room will be a libra
~, a sewing-room, equipped with ma
chimes and all con%veniences, a small
laundry and a fully equipped kitchen.
The furnishings Throughout have been
planned to the last detail.
A piano and victrola, folding chairs
for assembly purposes, the %gold-brown
walls and dainty lounges, even the
lighting fixtures, with their design sug-
costing the Red Cross, have been Sc
lected and combined to express a sense
of home and to supply Ike needs and
add to the comfort OF cantonment life.
The houses will connect with the
nurses quarters.

RED CROSS TO RECLAIM
SOLDIERS OLD UNIFORMS.

The United States Government, in
order to conserve the Nations supply
of wool, has asked the cooperation of
the Red Cross and, through it, of the
women of leisure in helping to reclaim
and rejuvenate the uniforms discard
ed by the soldiers leaving the camps
to embark for France.
When the men in the camps get their
summer wear they return their winter
apparel to the Qu~artermaster's Depart
ment. Next fall, when new winter out
fits are distributed, the men will turn
over the uniforms they now are wear
ing. Nothing is thrown away, and, as
a result, the camps throughout the
country have a large store of old uni
forms and other wear which must be
repaired for use for rough work either
at environments or across the water.
The renovation of old uniforms re-
Gently was started by the Reclamation
Department at Camp Upton, but the
work is not going or with sufficient
rapidity.
So it was put up to the Red Cross,
which decided, at the request of the
Government, to carry on this work,
utilizing the services of volunteer
workers in New York. If it proves
successful here it will be inaugurated
all over the country.
Through the Atlantic Division the
New York County Chapter of the Red
Cross has taken hold Of it, naming
one of it's auXiliaries as the first Recla-
nation Station. Uniforms will be
secured at the camps before being for
Warded TO the station.

Workrooms.

Foreseeing the great needs of the
coming winter, the Atlantic Division
of the American Red Cross has in
structed all chapters within its juris-
diction to speed up production. Calls
for greatly increased volunteering
upon the part of women. in conse-
quence, have gone out.
Next winter III soldiers and sailors
will need more socks, sweaters, wrist
let's, mufflers, helmets and so on, than
eve before, and the Red Cross does
not intend to be caught short-handed.
Chapters in New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut have been allotted
the task of making 100000 pairs of
socks and $4,000 sweaters to be avail
able early in autumn. Work on sur
gical dressings, hospital and refugee
garments must not lag as a result of
this allotment.
Women will be asked to come more
and more to the workroomS. Those
who have been able to give little or
o. of their day to the Red Cross will
be urged to consider seriously the
sacrifice of other interests.
Military Needs Come First.
In the meantime, the Red Cross Is
only using wool for articles the max
ing of which absolutely require it.
Substitutes are being employed else
where, for the shortage of wool has
become such a serious matter that the
Red Cross is undertaking, among its
other activities, the reclamation of dis
carded garments and the refurbishing
and repair of the winte: uniforms of
soldiers so that not an inch of this
valuable product shall go to waste.
While the War Industries Board has
ruled that in the distribution of wool
the military needs of the nation must
first be met, 1t has further ordered
that the Red Cross shall have second
place on the preference" list.
In order that there may be no vast
age through unco-ordinated buying,
the Department of Supplies at national
headquarters of the Red Cross in
Washington will, in future, hold itself
responsible for the distribution of wool
to Chapters. 1t will requisition such
wool as may be necessary and this
wool will be released to the Red Cross
by the War Industries Board as fast
as it is obtainable in excess of the
necessary requirements of the Quar-
termaster's Department.
The custom of Independent buying
has, in a few instances, resulted in the
Red Cross Chapters bidding against
each other. This will now be done
away with. Chapters will be informed
by headquarters how much work they
must turn out and the material to work
on supplied them as fast as possible.
To preclude the keeping of yarn at
home by individuals all wool that is
issued must be accounted for. 1t must
either be made up into a finished gar
ment, or that portion of it not so used
returned. This move will take all yarn
In the Army and Navy colors from the
public market so that none a be pur-
chased and made up by individuals
into gifts.
This, in turn, will end the overlap
ping of effort, and no soldier or sailor
will receive from home garments which
are duplicates of those being given
him by the Red Cross,

PERSHING RULES AGAINST
SPECIAL SHIPMENTS ABROAD.

No specially designated shipments
will be accepted by the Red Cross.
This ruling is absolute and is in ac-
cordance with the order issued by
General Pershing.
This ruling, which has just been is
sued by the Foreign RELIEF Depart
ment of the Red Cross, will serve to
allay the confusion that has seemed to
exist in the minds of some wal work
ers that big consignments of articles
might be sent to specially designated
points. This, however, is not the case,
and everything must go through the
regular channels and be redistributed
where the need is greatest. This APP
plies both at home and abroad.
