THE AMERICa.I HED CROSS IS
MAKING FRDvNDS FOR
ALL ETERNITY
Bleeding, ragged, starving, freezing, homeless, clck Eu-
ropo gave utterance to a cry of misery and sorrow and des
pair, and the American Red Cross has answered It In a
magnificent way. 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.
Yet It can't do enough because It hasn't half enough members.
You Ought to Belong to the Red Cross. Your Help Is Much
