George Hamway, the son, enlisted
with the American colors when this
country went to war, and fell fighting
in the Argonne, leaving to the mother
a $1,000 government insurance policy.
The address of the mother was vague.
She lived in the heart Of the desert,
four days from Damascus-that was
the only address George knew.
The task of finding the mother was
given to the Red Cross mission in Pal
estine, and the search was started i'm
mediately. Strange by-paths of that
land of mystery-the great desert
were visited by Red Cross workers,
and at length the mother was found.
She was taken to Damascus by
camel, accompanied by witnesses es-
tablishing her identity, and after much
palaver it was explained that the
American government would make re-
mittances to her which meant compare
tive af1uence for her declining days.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-10-30


to provide free treatment in public
service hospitals. and compensation
while the treatment is being admins
tered.
The government estimates that there
are fully $4,000 men in this country
who are unable to work at full ca
pacity because of wounds or disease
contracted in the line of duty who
should be receiving this treatment. So
far only about 1000 men have applied
for such service.
A statement issued from the ma
tional headquarters of the Red Cross
in Washington shows that a great mis-
apprehension exists among the dis
charged men regarding the govern
ment'S plan.
"Due to MISUNDERSTANDING and mis-
apprehension surprising number or
disabled service men are scattered
throughout the country not knowing
the benefits which are still theirs"
the statement read.
"sBack to the hospital after he has
donned 'civvies' and tried to keep go
ing at civilian occupation is. about the
hardest order a soldier wants to hear.
Acceptance of the government offer
does not mean return to service. The
hospitals are civilian institutions. They
are separate institutions, and are not
connected. in any way with the army or
navy.
1.-THE Red Cross is constantly dis
covering men who, through ignorance
or prejudice, are losing the advantages
of this wonderful service. SO effective
has this work become that the govern
ment has asked the Red Cross to make
this part of it's regular relief work.
All that is necessary is for the ex-
service man to apply to the nearest
Red Cross chapter. Arrangements
will be made there for him to enter
one of these hospitals after examina-
ton by district public health officer,
ice with the army or navy he will be
given transportation and admittance
to a public service hospital.
"The Red Cross is now engaged in
maintaining a program Of recreation,
occupational therapy, meeting the
problems arising in the homes Of disa-
bled men, household and legal difficult
ties and affording many miscellaneous
services to keep the men who are in
the hospitals cOntented with their
lot"
This work Of the Red Cross is one
of the important branches outlined
for it's post war work and part of
the funds raised in the Third Red
Cross Roll Call, November 2 to IL,
will be devoted to this purpose.

LOANS $4,000 TO SOLDIERS.

Loans totaling approximately
$4,000 have been advanced to
about 1000 disabled soldiers by
the American Red Cross for personal
uses while these war veterans were ad.
justing their affairs with the federal
board for vocational training. These
loan are in no sense looked upon as
charity either by the soldiers or the
Red Cross, the latter considering this
bit Of financial assistance a part of
it's war obligation.
Red Cross liaison officers are In
touch with all the district officers of
the vocational board and the public
health service. These Red Cross men,
are able to help the soldiers when the
government check miscarries, during
the interval between approval for
schools and placement in school, when
subsistence and transportation are
needed by those denied training, and
under various other conditions.

Roll Coll will be conducted from Nov.
to IL to obtain 2O,OOO0OO members
and $15,OOO,OOO.
Plan Survey Of Supplies.
Since 1900 disasters of peace have
cost many thousands of lives and
have brought personal injury or prop
erty loss to 100000 persons, destroy
ing property valued at $1,O00,0OO,O00.
During 1917 eighty disasters were re-
ported to the American Red Cross,
81 tornadoes, foods, great fires,
two earthquakes, two serious mine
disasters, two munition plant explo-
sions and the tragic calamity which
befell Halifax.
Under the direction Of the Red
Cross the entire resources Of all COM
munities will be modified for instant
use when needed. Chapters every
where will create committees to make
surveys, locating emergency food sup
plies, drugs, hospital supplies, cots,
mattresses, blankets, clothing, armor-
les, schools and other buildings for
housing refugees and will canvass ply
sicians, nurses, social workers and
others prepared to respond instantly
to calls for their services in disasters.
National Resources Available.
The thirteen divisional organiza-
lions will establish disaster relief sup
ply centers and take charge Of opera
tons when assistance Is needed. In
cases of major disasters where the
resources of the division in which it
occurs are overtaxed, the entire
strength Of the Red Cross in the coun-
try may be modified through national
headquarters.
Fifty base hospitals organized by
the American Red Cross and turned
over to the government for use with
the military forces will be ready for
immediate service.

trail Division headquarters, in Chicago
calling upon the men and women Of ev-
cry community to enlist for the ten-day
campaign to secure dollar annual
memberships. With approximately
600 chapters in the division, this num-
Der will allow for about 400 workers to
a chapter. Every chapter will be a
recruiting Office for these workers.
Workers Will Wear Badges.
Each worker will be supplied with a
badge proclaiming that the wearer is a
volunteer worker for the Red Cross
The success Of the campaign will, in
reality rest upon the shoulders Of
these volunteer workers, as the third
roll call cannot be success without
a complete organization.
The purpose of the campaign is to
obtain, as nearly as possible, univer-
sal enrolment in the Red Cross as an
expression Of confidence in the past
performances of the Red Cross and a
reafirmation Of allegiance to the prfn-
ciples which will guide it's work in the
future. In order to do this every man
and woman in the territory of each
chapter must be asked to join the Red
Cross, and this will require the serv-
ices of hundreds of workers. The
Central Division wants at least 4,0OO,-
600 enrollments for 1920. Special
stress during the campaign will be
placed upon the annual one-dollar
memberships in order to make the roll
call an appeal to all the people.
Past Campaigns Successful.
Success has attended all Red Cross
activities in the Central Division in
the past. In the the last war fund
drive this division, with a quota Of
$13, 100000, subscribed 1,3O7, 6O2.83.
In the second roll call, more than a.
100000 were enrolled.
The money quota for the Central
Division is 100000. Throughout the
nation, the Red Cross will enlist TO-
100000 members and raise $15,O0O,COO
to carry on it's international, national
and local work.

HUGE OVERSEE SHIPMENTS
MADE BY RED CROSSE

r. Two million crates, bundles or
barrels, weighing 21S,31O,OOo
pounds were shipped by the
American Red Cross to twenty-one
countries from ten ports in the
United States between April 1, 1917
and July /, 1919, according to re-
ports sent to national headquarters in
Washington. This tremendous volume
of business was shipped across the ATT
lantic and Pacific oceans during the
war and after the signing Of the armis-
tice from New York, Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Montreal, Newport News, New
Orleans, Philadelphia, San Francisco
and Seattle. In addition to this great
store of supplies, the Red Cross pur-;
chased supplies in the countries where
It operated, both for the soldiers and
afflicted civilians.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-10-30

war footing to a peace footing, but a
general program has been mapped out,
to be adjusted and readjusted as needs
require, for chapter, division and ma
tional organizations.
Between Nov. 2 and II the Red
Cross will call it's roll for the third
time and ask the people to give vote
of confidence in the past performances,
and a reafirmation Of the principles
which will guide it's progress in the
future.
The war activities have not all been
stopped, and will not be stopped until
the last American soldier is home and
able once again to take his place in the
business or industrial world. The sol
dier's family also must be cheered and
comforted and assisted until he is
able to care for them. No program
can be laid down by the Red Cross
that does not include this unfinished
war work as first obligation.
Ever since the organization of the
Red Cross there have been responsible
tiles which now have become tradi-
tional. These include service to the
standing army and naval forces, miti-
cation of suffering either at home or
abroad from famine, fire, floods or
great disasters. The Red Cross also
must continue and broaden it's work
in the field of nursing, maintain it's
courses in first aid, dietetics and home
care of the sick.
New responsibilities have come with
the war. Higher standards have been
set up by individuals and nations in
regard to human life saving, and pre-,
venting needless suffering. In con
nection with the new tasks these re
sponsibilities entail, the Red Cross will
assist, stimulate and supplement, but
not supplant, local agencies engaged
in the same lines Of endeavor.
The volunteer spirit which brought
such a measure of success during the
war, will be carefully nurtured. We
Third Roll Call and when emergencies
arise we will call for volunteers to
assist if necessary.
The Third Roll Call in the Central
Division will be held to enroll 4,00O,.
600 annual dollar members for 1920
and to raise 100000 in the five
states in the division. Illinois, Iowa.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Every membership is vote of con-
fidence in the Red Cross, each dollar
means the lifting of some burden.
The Red Cross needs universal CO.
operation in carrying out it's peace
program. 1t needs the hearts Of the
millions who enrolled during the Sec
Ond roll call.
It needs YOU.

AROUND THE WORLD
WITH THE AMERICAN
R |s|7 CROSS. .A
W. In Roumania. INV

Soon after the entrance of the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to a most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched it's first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken. over and operated by the
Red Cross, a canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over a large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oxcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.

"Why does the Red Cross need
money? The war is over,
National headquarters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has answered this ques-
ton, and has outlined graphically the
reasons why it is necessary to raise
$15,000,O00 for it's international, ma
tional and local work.
In brief the answer is as follows:
Because: The actual war work is
not completed The Red Cross cannot
lay. down it's responsibilities to the
American soldiers, sailors or marines
until everyone Of them has been re-
leased from service, recovered from
illness or wounds or receiving proper
care or back in the place in the world
from which The war snatched them.
Because: The American Red Cross
is planning to launch comprehensive
program for peace times, designed to
prevent the needless waste of human
lives through preventable diseases and
accidents in America; continue and
broader it's home service work and
public nursing, first aid home hygiene
and Junior Red Cross activities.
Because: By a recent act Of Con.
gress medical, surgical and dietary
food supplies valued at $35,0OO,OOO
were turned over to the Red Cross by
the government, the supplies having
been purchased for use with the Amer
ican forces. These supplies are scat
tered throughout Europe, many of
them far from the places where they
are most needed. The prompt and
efficient distribution and handling OF
these supplies means the maintenance
of a force Of trained workers where
the supplies are and where they are
most needed.
Because: Pestilence and starvation
have gripped many European coun-
tries because of the war. These cOun-
tries are unable to cope with their own
difficulties, and the only force organ
lied with facilities capable of stepping
into the breach and bringing order
from chaos is the Red Cross. Typhus
is sapping the man strength of many
countries, and the American Red Cross
is using every aVallaDle power 10
check it.
Because: The Red Cross must be
prepared to meet emergencies arising
from disasters at home and abroad.
The Red Cross membership must be
maintained at its present high STAN
dard. Every enrolment is "a vote Of
confidence in the past performances Of
the American Red Cross and reaf-
firmation Of the belief in the principles
for which it has stood in the past and
it's plans for the future.
The Red Cross, having committed
itself to a definite and comprehensive
program, cannot turn back, and to go
forward it must have as general a
membership as possible and ample
funds to provide for any contingency.

GEN. PERSHING GIVES
$4,000 TO RED CROSS.

u The last act of Gen. Pershing
before he left France for the
United States was to turn over
to the American Red Cross a.
625.4O francs, about $4,000, to be
used by the Red Cross for the
care OF French orphan children who
had been adopted" by the Red Cross.
A chaplain attached to Gen. Pershing's
staff visited the Red Cross headquar-
tiers and saw the work which was be-
ing done for the children. Apparently
he had carried a report to the COM
mander in chief, and~the check was
the result.
