1 9 "A great net oj mercy drawn threugk - an ocean of unspeakable pain" What Has Your Red Cross Money Done? i N the first place, it ;has enabled the American people, through the Red Cross, to help care for its army and navy.t Secondly, it has enabled America to hearten her allies' fight ing forces and to keep up, among the civilian populations, the spirit to win the war. That, alone, has made the American Red Cross one of the largest factors since our entry into the war. Canteens which provided food and hot drinks- more than a million meals to soldiers in December; warehouses crammed with materials, situated all along the French line, all along the Italian lines, at seaports and at places where our soldiers are,going to fight; institutions for' the care of consumptives, institutions for the re-education of maimed men -these are a few of the concrete accomplishments abroad. At home-- the millions of -woolen sweaters, mufflers, socks and oLher comforts for the men in camps; the work of sanitation around cantonments and the help and advice given dependents of soldiers. and sailors these are things which will "make you, your children and your children's children, in whatever part of the world they may be, proud of being Americans' Will you do YOUR share to keep this Hand of Mercy at its work?
