RED CROSS THRIVES
UPON EMERGENCIES
Wonderful Efficiency Shown by
Organization in Handling
Work in France.

Emergencies are what the American
Red Cross thrives upon. The proof Of
this assertion, says Captain Ednyfed
II. Williams of Chicago, who is back
from France, is found in the way the
Red Cross is meeting the shortage Of
shipping.
Captain Williams work over there
was in tre purchasing department of
the Red Cross. AS the space on ships
became less and less available for the
TRANSFORMATION Of Red Cross supplies,
it was necessary to buy as much ma
terial in Europe as possible.
1.-THE Red Cross buys supplies IN
France, England, and Italy, and will
do so in Spain when negotiations are
completed, because our government
needs every inch of space on ships to
transport troops and munitions," he
explained. "Everything is bought on
q strictly business basis by men spe-
cia11y trained in American industries,
working generally without pay,
"Our ability to give relief to Italy
when the Advertisements suddenly
swOoped down upon them last autumn
is accounted for in this policy of keep
ing our warehouses in France stocked
no. Had we sat down and waited for
the time when enough ships would
have been available to get all our
goods from America the Italians would
have suffered UNNECESSARILY and pos
sibly would not have rallied as they
did following our relief work.
every ton Of supplies we buy in
Europe makes one more ton Of space
available for the shipment from Amer
lea of army supplies, or surgical dress
ings and other Red Cross supplies
made by American women"
Captain Williams confirms the re-
norts Of all other officers who have
been to France that the Red Cross
has sustained the French people and
army wonderfully and that they are
ready for the trying days ahead.
