 h Some of the reasons for supportin, ! R. c. There are still 25,O00 disabled ! American soldiers in hospitals in thi: country whom Red Cross is serving There are hundreds of American sol ? diers in Europe whom Red Cross is 5 serving. A Red Cross man goes out f on every government vessel to kee1 ! the men of the navy in intimate touch $ with their homes as occasion may arise. Red Cross is ready to serve at home or abroad in time of famine flood, pestilence or other disaster There is widespread distress and sick ness in Europe and Red Cross is carrying on to the extent of it's re- sources in an attempt to answer the call for help. Eleven million war or phans are in Europe. Thousands of these are wandering like stray dogs, feeding on roots and berries, many of
 them will die this winter of exposure
 and starvation, but the great Red
 Cross mother can aid in saving many.
