EASING The CARES
OF SOLDIERS FAMILIES

The ten thousand Home Service Sec
tons of the American Red Cross, in
their work of looking after the fami-
lies of the enlisted men, are doing Won
ders for the morale Of the army. Our
fighters are not men who are going to
worry about themselves, but if they do
not get cheerful letters from home, or
If anything goes wrong there, they are
going to worry, and that delicate thing
the army men call morale is going to
be disturbed. 1t is to safeguard
against this and also to prevent need
less suffering and to promote that spir-
it of neighborliness and kindly aid that
binds each community into an organic
whole that the Home Service was or
ganized.
Over $4,000 workers are serving on
these ten thousand committees, which
reach into every corner Of the country,
however remote. Not a town or viii
lage or crossroads that is not within
reach of the Red Cross; not wife or
child or mother Of a man in service
who cannot claim the ready aid of the
Red Cross workers.
More than 100000 families of Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors have been re-
lieved Of money troubles, legal difficult
ties and worries of all sorts by the
protecting arm Of the Red Cross. If
the allowances of allotments under the
War Risk Insurance law do not come
the matter is at once referred to Red
Cross Headquarters, taken up with the
proper government bureau and prompt
ly Strengthened out. If, through the
delay, the family finds itself in need
of money sums are advanced to tide ii
over until the allotment arrives. Dur
ing July over sixty thousand inquiries
of this kind were received, and more
than a third of these were taken clear
through to headquarters before they
could be Strengthened out.

first thought was to express her graft
tude to the Commission for Relief in
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions Of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand. need
not figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem if she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou.
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands

maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate

Gus difficulties. The same is true of

have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
