EXILED BELGIAN TOTS
SEND GREETINGS TO
J. s. CHILDREN

Washington. - "Fraternal and cor
dial greetings" have been sent Amer
ica's school children by 600 Belgian
girls and boys now returning from
exile at Havre.
A giant scroll bearing some $40
names thanks American children for
the aid their country has sent Belgium
through the war years.
Long live the alliesi Long live
Belgium! Long live the United States
Of America! Honor to the American
Red Cross and to its Commission for
Belgium!
'HThe Belgian scholars, boys and
girls, in exile in the Havre region,
appreciate with a deep emotion the
value and the reality of the high
services rendered by the American
Red Cross to the Belgian population,
driven out of their dear country. and
refugees in a foreign land.
ssThey have themselves felt its con-
slant and generous solicitude, always
ready where there is good to do, a
misery to relieve, a misfortune to
comfort.
They also send their grateful and
most affectionate remembrance to the
kind children of America, whose ia
theirs and big brothers have crossed the
big ocean either for the American Red
Cross or in the gallant powerful and
glorious American army to share in
the triumph and the right of civiliza-
ton, to help the Belgians reconstruct
their homes, and-to save their
country.
sFraternal and cordial greetings to
sur little comrades. the American
scholars

They have known very well the risks
they were taking-the two thousand
and more women who have gone to
France for varied services under the
American Red Cross, and the more
than nine thousand nurses whom the
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty under the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
They went under orders, as soldiers
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as SOL
diers do. Literally, they went as
fighters, against pain, disease and
death.
A mobile surgical unit of nurses
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time we hear them.
But see such an unit follow an army
up to an advanced post; see how the
nurses work with steady hands beside

On the night of March 25th, when
the. Germans were fast advancing, and
already within six kilometers of
Annel, an outpost of Compiegne, two
American doctors remained, who IN
der order of the French government,
had sent the patients and personnel
of their hospital farther back the
night before The artillery was deaf
ening, but the American Ambulance
! sections kept bringing their wounded
TO Annel. These doctors said that as
long as the American boys brought
them wounded they would operate.

RED CROSS FUTURE
IS LINKED WITH
ROLL CALL
Dawson, War Council Head,
Outlines Tasks That
Lie Ahead

Next weeks Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call for members is character
lied as "the foundation of the Red
Cross" by Chairman H. P. Dawson of
the Red Cross War Council in his
statement describing the future of the
Red Cross.
Wherever our soldiers and sailors
may be, the Red Cross will stay with
them until they are demobilized. Moth:
ing which we may do will be left I'M
done, either for the men in the war
zone, their families at home, to whom
will continue to be devoted the minis
trations of the Red Cross Home Serv-
ice" promises Mr.. Dawson.
Volunteer Aid Needed.
The wake of the war will, however,
reveal the prevalence of disease, and
give rise to emergencies which in all
parts of the world viii call for unlim-
tied voluntary effort
Here will be the opportunity for
the American Red Cross. But even
our Red Cross must not act and can
not act most effectively alone; we
must labor in cooperation with the
national Red Cross and relief societies
of other nations, to the end that not
alone the heart of America but the
heart of all mankind may be mobilized
on behalf of suffering humanity"
Mr.. Dawson declares the American
Red Cross to be planning ito develop
its permanent organization in this
country on scale never before con-
templated in time of peace"
Home Work to Grow.
Study" he says, "is being given by
the national organization not alone to
problems of international relief, but to
plans in this country for enlarged
home service, promotion Of public
health education, development OF
nursing, care and prevention of acct
dents and other correlated lines which
may contribute to the health and hap
piness of men, women and children.

ice rather than for large expenditures.
What the Red Cross needs now is
not so much contributions of money,
as the continued devotion and loyalty
of its members.
Join and Serve!
Annual membership involves the
payment of only one dollar.
The money thus received not only
defrays all the administrative ex-
penses of the organization, but leaves
a substantial balance, which, together
with all funds subscribed directly for
relief, are solely devoted to that pur-
pose.
''The Roll Call of the nation is this
to be called at Christmas time, that
through enrolment in the Red Cross
the American people may send mes
sage to our soldiers still overseas and
to the peoples of the world that we are
not merely content with seeing our
arms united with our allies in victory,
but that our abiding purpose is that
the love, the sympathy and the intelli-
gence of all America shall be rededi-
Gated to the permanent service of man
kind"

CANTEENS SERVING
U. S. TROOPS IN ITALY

The American Red Cross canteens,
which serve at railroad stations, i'm
portant points on highroads, and in
towns and villages throughout the
Italian zone Of war, are now serving
American troops. These canteens
have been operating during the past
six months for the benefit of the Ital-
ian army and its allies, greeting the
soldiers in their passage from one
point to another with coffee and
American crackers and jam. But it
is only recently that the khaki-clad
fighters from across the sea have been
added to the number of those served
at the Red Cross rest stations.
