Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on Drownings

The insignia OF the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel Of men, women and
youths is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts, <riv-
ers, lakes and ponds. In its unrelent-
ing campaign to reduce loss of life by
drowning the Red Cross Is making
constant Roadway. The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts of the country were so numer-
GUS the past year that 1t was neces-
sary to more than double the staff of
Red Cross instructors. This work of
training for water life-saxing showed
an enrolment Of over 10000 volun-
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all compe-
tent to instruct others in the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
rescues were conferred upon two girls,
boy and man, indicating that the
youths of the country stand well at
the top in conserving life along our
water courses.

Of Action Covers
All the World

Represented by s3,66S members, the
American Red Cross penetrates to
nearly every part Of the world. The
insular and foreign roll call statistics
for the past year are a most conclu-
sive manifestation Of the Red Cross
spirit carried into the most remote
lands. In Europe there are 4,0SS
members; in Turkey, and active in
the Constantinople Chapter, 3,545. Chi
ma has an enrolment Of 2,252; Africa,
1856; India, 224, and Australia, 20.
Even Vladivostok, in frigid Siberia,
has a live chapter with 100 members.
The Philippine Islands can mobilize

and Hawaii 1858 The total funds
raised through foreign and insular
membership enrolment and sent to
national headquarters in Washington
mounted to $60,216.54, while an addi-
tional s33,350 was forwarded for the
endowment fund of the American Red
Cross. The high seas roll call in 1922
was an inspiring success. The Navy
signed on 4,331 for the Red Cross and
the merchant ships 4,141. OF the to-
tai membership outside the United
States $500 are registered with chap
tiers in foreign lands, the insular pos
sessions and dependencies.

Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Arrnistice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
in behalf of stricken Japan early in
September gave the answer to the
question, What is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace?" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter came without warning showed
that it was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request of
the President to lead the national eff
fort for the relief of the many thou
sands Of sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
a charter duty of the Red Cross.
Without membership enrolled in ev-
cry community in the land this readi-
ness would be impossible That is
why your dollar membership Is most
important.
1t is imperative that the structure
Of the American Red Cross be made
up of millions Of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November II,
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 20, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends Of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The $500 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during this period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival of effort when the call
came from Japan.

For its preparedness to render re-

to the sufferers from disaster the
American Red Cross is universally re-
garded as the one organization from
which response to appeal for help is
immediate. In the last year, accord
ing to the annual report Of the Red
Cross. its disaster relief operations
were carried out in ITO localities In
the United States. This work, with
activities carried over from the previ-
GUS year, required the expenditure in
the United States Of 1897 ,46S.04 by
the American Red Cross, its Chapters
and Branches. In the emergency fol

in Turkey and the burning of the city
Of Smyrna, which entailed the relief
of nearly 100000 men, women and
