Chicago, April 17.-Combine Ameri.

ton of Director General Walker D.

as Soldier Lost. & s y:
a soldier from 8 ineig hborine county
was lost. His mother had not heard
from him for four months. Her last
letter was returned. The fighting was
over; the Governmen - had sent 8. no
word that he was dead or wounded or
missing. But where was he What had
become Of him Why didn t he write9
Was he lying sick in a hospital some
where, thousands Of miles away? a
neighbor directed the mother to the in
formation bureau Of the. Red Cross
Home Service in that town. They
showed her where to send, through the
Red Cross, and helped her write the
letter. That made her feel better,
somebody cared, somebody was doing
something about it. Her letter set in
motion the machinery Of our great Red
Cross organization. Trained searchers
hunted for the boy in camp and hospi-
tai. And in due time word came back
that he was in such and such a COM
pany and regiment, doing his duty and
eating three meals day, wondering
why his mothers letters never reached
him, and looking forward to the time
when he could come home. The Red
Cross is here to help you, and is able
to help you. Pack all your troubles in
your old kit bag and take them to the
nearest Home Service information bur
