AMERICANS TO BE NO DRAG
ON ITALIAN GOVERNMENT

In order that the personnel of the
Red Cross and the American ambu-
lance drivers and rolling canteen
workers shall not tie a drag upon Italy
or the Italians the War Council has
appropriated the sum of $16S,3O0 for
the purchase in this country of six
months supply of gasoline and army
rations for 500 men per month for a
period of six months. These supplies
will be shipped abroad.
This sum of money was set aside
for this purpose on the recommended
ton of Major Perkins, A. r. c. COM
missioner to Italy, who advised that
the American Red Cross should not
accept or buy any food or gasoline
from the Italian government for its
service in Italy.

SHELTERED
FROM BOCHE SHELLS
When Guns Boom Tots Beg to Be
Taken Into Cellars Beyond
Harms Reach.

lies caves! Les caves" want
TO go in the cellar!'
Shrill cries from Jean and Marie
and Felix and hundreds of other
French youngsters, huddled together in
little frightened groups, answered The
booming of the big guns, the crackle
of the mitrailleuses and the intermit-
tent hum of a Boche airplane.
The children were gathered in the
old fort on the hill, overlooking a town
very close to the front, where the Red
Cross takes care of them. The cathe-
dral bell had tolled for five minutes
though you could hardly hear it for
the roar of the guns, and the siren
had blown. Then the people in the
own below had scurried to their eel
lars, for that was a warning of a raid
err coming.
In the cellar they would have been
quite content and unafraid. For nor
months than they could remember they
had been living in cellars in the little
shell swept villages near the town and
sometimes in dugouts in the hills. But

taken them away from their homes,
and now there were no cellars.
A dozen little girls crowded into one
big bed. With the bedclothes over
your head it was dark. Perhaps the
bomb wouldn't get you there. Half
an hour seemed ten hours.
Then the guns stopped firing. and
it was quiet again. The Boche had
gone. Only the restless searchlights
still guarded the sky.
Below there in the town a tenement
house had been cut in two. A poilu
had come all the way from Salonica,
1000 miles away, to see his wife and
three children. But the German
bombs found them first.
On the hill the children were safe
this time. You can't always be safe
from the bombs when the Boche car
ries them. But the children are always
safe from guns and gas and disease
and filth and hunger. So much safety
the Red Cross can and does give them
for the sake of tomorrow in France.

BUILDINGS WHILE YOU WAIT;
APPLY TO THE RED CROSS
Portable Houses Shipped to Any Part
of France on a Few Hours
Notice.

The American Red Cross in France
has established a record for home
building. A call came to Paris from
somewhere in France" for three bar
racks. The Red Cross was told that
it would take the Workmen at least
five days to erect n building. With
in that time the Red Cross workers
had all three buildings up and ready
for occupancy. They employed just
% men on the job.
Red Cross officials determined some
time ago to place lin stock" a number
of portable or demountable barracks
for immediate use wherever they
might be desired.
1t was discovered that a Swiss man.
ufacturer had on hand 43 buildings
that were not needed by the Italian
army, for which they had been con-
Structed.
The Red Cross Immediately con-
tracted for the entire number, obtain
ed them and now can ship a home for
10 people to any part of France on a
few hours notice and erect 1t in less
than two days. 1t has ever supplied
the United States army with ten OF
these buildings for immediate use.
The buildings are unique in con-
struction. Each weighs about five tons
and can be easily shipped in one
freight car. Unlike many d~emountable
or "knock-down" buildings, these are
absolutely rain and weather proof.
thus assuring adequate protection in
unreasonable weather to refugees, hos
pital patients, etc.

CANTEEN WOMAN TELLS
OF WORK IN FRANCE
Tells How Workers Meet PoiIus
With Boilers Filled With
Coffee.

The following is an excerpt from a
letter of an American Red Cross can
teen worker in France, describing the
work of the canteen women and the
experiences which enliven the daily
routine of their lives:
"We meet the rains at the station
they have only a short stop-with
great boilers full of hot coffee, and on
these cold winter nights you don't
know how grateful the Poilus hold out
their battered tin cups to have them
filled.
1.-THE canteen itself is very pleasant,
with brightly colored walls, a beau.i-
full painting by a former judge of the
Salon, who has a country home near
by, a son who is a prisoner in Germany
and a charming daughter who is one
of the helpers at the canteen. He has
donated a large seascape and wants
the Red Cross to take it back to Amer
lea after the war.
Good Food Served.
"Then we have a photograph which
:. an endless source of pleasure to the
men, and soon when our new recrea-
ton room is in order we shall hire a
piano. We serve good food at a much
lower price than they can get at the
railroad restaurants, and, as the Poilus
receive 5 cents a day, it means a lot
to them.
1.-THE bread ration is very strict at
present, and 1t is hard to have to re-
fuse more than one sou of bread to
each man when he looks up in a hun
CRY fashion and says: But how can l
eat this cheese without a little more
bread?' The n expression that seems
to V everything over here is c'est
la guerre, but sometimes you see 1t
brings very little comfort.
1.-The suffering in the world comes
home SO to one here. Why, just the
other night when l was on duty at the
canteen, which is at the station, a
poor soldier had both legs run over
and torn off by a train. We tried to
do what we could to help the doctor
who just happened to be changing
trains. Our Red Cross car took the
man off to a hospital. l shall never
forget how, while l was holding his
hand trying to comfort him, he repeat
ed over and over, Mes trois pauvres
enfantsr (my three poor children)."

UNDER THREE FLAGS
IN THE
TRAIL OF GERMAN 7. N. 7
American Red Cross,
4, Place de la Concorde, Paris.


When Germany plunged the world In
war the United States waited-hoping
against hope-but there were some
Americans who did not wait.
You found them, here and there, in
the ranks of the British army, among
the Canadians and in the Foreign Lee
gion of France.
You found them, too, soldiers of hui
manity, driving ambulances behind the
French front and feeding the men, wo-
men and children of Belgium under the
very shadow of German authority and
"reminiscences.
Today, though it's work has not
stopped, the Commission for Relief in
Belgium must do without the service
of the Americans in the field. Other
neutrals have beer found to take their
places. The question has been asked j:
What has become of the American
field workers of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium?
Some of them are in France. They
who once had to work under the Ger
man flag are now proudly working un-
der the flags of the two republics.
They are inside the lines.
Making Belgium and France Whole
Again.
One of them. Edward Eyre Hunt,
the former delegate for the province
of Antwerp, is now chief of the Blu
reau of Rehabilitation and Relief of the
American Red Cross in France. He
has at least four of his old associates
working in that bureau.
L. G. Wellington, who used to care
for the welfare Of the people of Lille
province Of Luxembourg as representa-
tive of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, Is now in charge of the Ar
ras district as representative of the
American Red Cross, where he can al
most see the very towns for which he
cared in Belgian commission days.
w. B. Jackson, whose work for the
commission was at Liege, is now depu-
ty for the Somme district in France.
D. S. Morgan, likewise at Liege, is
with Mr.. Jackson.
AS time goes on more of France and
Belgium will be uncovered" Gas Red
Cross workers put it in their unvar-
nished conversational, and the soldiers
of humanity will advance behind the
bayonets to repair the wreck of war.
They will help, not just to keep life in
the inhabitants of France and Belgi-
UNI, as formerly, but to make Belgium
and France whole again-and more
than ever themselves.
It is not a charity they are working,
but they are cooperating with the peo-
pie of these lands to make a fresh
start, as the Germans are little by lit
tie got rid of, and what a drama it
will be when some of the American
workers actually reach the very places
they we're formerly working in under
the German flag. but under the Ger
man flag no morei
