To the American People:
"One year ago, twenty-five million
Americans, by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas time,
sent to the men who were fighting our
battles overseas stimulating mes
sage of cheer and good will They
made it clear that our people We're of
their own free choice united with
their government in the determination
not only to wage war with the nstru-
ments of destruction, but also by every
means in their power to repay the
ravages of the invader and sustain and
renew the spirit of the army and of

The friends of the American Red
Cross in Italy, Belgium and France
have told and will tell again the story
OF how the Red Cross workers restored
morale in the hospitals, in the camps,

TO be very proud that we have been
permitted to be of service to those

mean that we can fold our hands. 1t
means further sacrifice We must

THE exact nature of the future
service of the Red Cross will depend
upon the program of the associated
governments. but there is immediate
need today for every heartening word
and every helpful service We must
not forget that our soldiers and our
sailors are still under orders and
still have duties to perform Of the
highest consequence, and that the Red
Cross Christmas membership means a
great deal to them. The people of the
saddened lands, moreover, returning
home today where there are no homes.

During a period of comprehensive
tests, the statement said, meats that
had been dried and kept year, were
restored to their fresh state and
served in the homes of professors at

dred pounds of meat was sent to a
camp in the south and served to the

that those who ate the restored meat
failed to discover any difference be-
tween 1t and strictly fresh meat"
BY the process. it was asserted. all
bone, waste fat and connected tissue
are removed from the meat or fish TO
be treated, leaving 100 per cent food.
The meat is then cut into cubes or,
in the case of beef into steaks, placed
in a vacuum and subjected to q period
Of drying at a relatively low tempera-
ture. No other treatment Is necessary

ment that the company was unable

The board characterized his letter
as "a refusal to respect the authoity
