AMERICANS ABiiGAD
IN RED GROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
"Fourteenth" Division.
Among tho most enthusiastic nnd
i energetic members of the American
' Red Cro.s are thoso cltlxens of the
! ITnltetl States who' live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
- sons nnd daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at tho fnr cornors of
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
tho country proper; that Is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii. Virgin Islands, the
! Philippines, Guam, nnd even the Is
i land of Yap, which came under our
nag as a result of tho world war. For
tho year 1020 this division reported
30.S0S paid up members.
The main object of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere tho op
portunity to participate in the work
oX the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places Intensely loynl and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as tho outward ex
pression of their citizenship. It Is nn
other tlo to the homclnnd nnd to
each other. There aro chapters of
this division In Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecundor, England, France, Guam,.
Guatcmnlu, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Nica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spnln, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezueln nnd Virgin Islnnds.
During tho war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions In money, und millions
of dollars' worth of necessary articles
for the men In service, nnd sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
samo time thoy carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for tho families of those
who had gono to war, and In some re
gions gave large sums of money and
Immeasurable personal service to tho
relief of disaster and disease victims.
The division Is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in tho American Mer
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans In trouble In foreign lands
and completing nrrnugemcnts for giv
ing immedlnte adequate relief In case
otj dlsnster.
It Is the Fourteenth Division's part
In the great Peace Time program of
the American Red Cross.
RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS
The American Red Cross Is carrying
on a wide program of service for tho
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment in United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies of the Federal
Hoard for Vocational Education.
In each of tho Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devoto
their time to the general welfare of
tho service men from tho day they
enter the receiving ward until thoy
are discharged. After the soldier's dis
charge the Red Cross continues Its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains n convales
cent houso at all of the hospitals,
where patients can amuse themselves
after they arc well enough to bo up
and a round. Parties and picture shows
In the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when convales
cence comes.
Great service tins been rendered by
the Red Cross In mental cases In Iden
tifying thoso who have appeared In
state hospitals for the insane, and help
ing them secure compensation due from
fhe Rurcau of War P.isk Insurance.
In the Federal Hoard's various dis
trict offices tho Red Cross worker, act
ing with the Home Service Section,
mnkes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Hoard, assists In "appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. Tho workers also follow up
and nld all men who discontinue train
ing. Tho Red Cross ngents find men "lost"
to the Hoard, help elenr up delayed
cases and nld tho college counselors in
their friendly work with tho men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, nnd In some In
stances living clubs, so these victims
of war may have attractive surround
ings nnd tho fun which must go with
effective school work.
To the Amerlcnn Red Cross Institute
for the Hllod near Baltimore, Md.,
more than half of nil the Americans
blinded In the AVorld War havo come
for training. Tho Institute, through
tho Red Cross, long ngo conducted nn
exhaustive Industrial survey to deter
mine the vocations for which blind
men could be fitted. As n result It Is
putting forth well trained men equip
ped to meet the social, civic and eco
nomic requirements of their respective
communities.
