In binding the wounds, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, nursing the sick, it is binding Europe to America by ties of friendship that will last through the'ages. The Red Cross Is shipping Into Paris dally 300 tons of food, clothing, hospital supplies, etc. Much of this is used Immediately. The surplus goes into a 100,000-ton warehouse for emergency and against the day American soldiers will start fighting on a large scale. When emergency comes, the Red Cross Is ready. During the recent enemy drive Into Italy tho Italians appealed for help. Within two days our Red Cross had sent 45 carloads of food and supplies from Paris. The Red Cross has established In France a factory for the construction of artificial limb's. Within the last few months it has supplied hundreds of French soldiers with wooden legs. Whatever the Red Cross uses must come from America must come from generous American hearts and willing Amer ican hands. During November the central division of the Red Crosscomprlslng the states of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, sent to France 600,000 surgical dressings, 285,000 knitted articles and 335,000 pieces of hospital linen.
