AMERICANS ABROAD
 IN RED GROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away Enthusiastic Members of the
 Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most snthusiastic and energetic members of the American Red Cross are those citizens of the United States who live outside the continental boundaries of their country --sons and daughters of the Stars and Stripes residing at the far corners oi tho earth.
 These people compose the Insular and Foreign Division of the parent or. ganization. generally known as the Fourteenth" Division, which has Jurisdiction of all territory outside the country proper; that is, Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the Philippines, Guam. and even the is- land of Tap, which came under our nag as result of the world war. For the year 1920 this division reported 80.80S paid up members.
 The main object of this division is to give our citizens everywhere the op- pOrtunity to participate in the work 'sf the organization which stands for the best national ideals. Americans in far places intensely loyal and pa triotic, treasure their membership in the Red Cross as the outward ex- precision of their citizenship It is an other tie to the homeland and to each other. There are chapters of this division in Argentine, Bolivia, Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Guam, Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras, Japan. Manchuria, Netherlands, Nica- ragua, Paraguay, Peru. Philippines, Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
 During the war these scattered members of the Red Cross contrib uted millions in money, and millions of dollars worth of necessary articles for the men in service, and sent many doctors and nurses to France. At the same time they carried on an excel lent Home Service in their respective communities for the families of those who had gone to war, and in some re- gions gave large sums of money and immeasurable personal service to the relief of disaster and disease victims.
 The division is now establishing service clubs In foreign ports for the senefit of sailors in the American Mer- chant Marine, making plans to aid Americans in trouble in foreign lands and completing arrangements for glv- ing, immediate adequate relief in case sf disaster.
 It is the Fourteenth Divisions part in the great Peace Time program of the American Red Cross.
