The Canteen System

An extraordinary canteen service is being car
ried on with the French, with the Belgans with
the Italians, and with the British, by the Rcd
Cross abroad. There rolling canteens which
are operating right up in the trenches, where the
soldiers get hot drinks as they go in and when
they come out These canteens are frequently
operated under shell fire and gas, the Red Cross
workers often working in gas masks.
Before the days of Red Cross help, French
soldier would come back from the trenches on
his seven days leave covered with vernnin -
officers and all - and go to a junction point for
cars to take them home. Those junction points
arc equipped for rs people, yet at times there
were 1000 people waiting, sometimes twenty
four. sometimes forty-eight hours They slept
on the ground and they got what food they could.
They brought home vermin which spread dis
ease among The civil population behind the lines,
and discouraging atmosphere born of the con-
ditions through which they passed on their way

Other Forms of Relief

1t is difficult to give any adequate picture of the
whole Red Cross program in France.
: There is the whole vast program of relief for
the refugees and repatries, for those driven be-
fore the invader, uprooted from their homes, and
for those returned to France and Belgium broken
and bent after being subject to the sway of the
German for the last few years.
There is the medical and surgical supply ser
vice which the Red Cross is giving to over three
thousand French military hospitals, the supplies
for the most part produced by American women.
There is the Red Cross children's program Of
caring for needy and destitute children, the
reduction of infant mortality. There is the Red
Cross factory for the manufacture of artificial
limbs. There is the big program Of re-education
for the mutilated soldier to teach him means
of self-support with its accompanying benefit to
France.

Work in other Countries

What the Red Cross is doing for France she is
doing, too, for the part of Belgium not held by
the Germans, and to very large degree for Italy.
The story of how the American Red Cross rushed
to the relief of Italy has already been told At
the time of the Italian disaster last fall, propa-
ganda was under way in Italy to the effect that
America was not really in the war, as we had
not yet then declared war on Austria; that we
were not well disposed toward Italy; that Amer

Our Red Cross and Our Allies

On recent trip to America Major Murphy, formerly
lied Cross Commissioner for Europe said:
his is war of nations not of armies There ;s
not man. woman or child in Great Britain. in Beqium
IN france or in Italy that not factor in this war;
tell you that if you should CO. as have gone, about
those ruined districts in France and had seen little
children, four and five years DID, driving in the herds
at night had seen little boys coming down the road
little bits of tots-with their arms full of foots that
they were accumuating against the winter: had seen
od men and old women working in the fields until it
was SO dark that you looked you could lust make
out those vague forms gathering the crops for France
you would realize what this war s what this war means
1t is not the armies of France that are the essential
thing to France in this war nor the armies of ENGLAND
nor OF the other countries. Those armies will do their
part and do it to nish if they are supported by the
people behind them
The great crying need in Europe to-day is to build
up the spirit and keep up the spirit of the people
behind the lines and it that great work which the
Red Cross has performed and which has been up to
the recent entrance of our Army on large scae the
greatest single factor of help in France since our
