DIDUBT YEAR
Report of War Council Surely
Will Thrill the Hearts of
All Americans.
WOMEN GIVEN HIGH TRIBUTE
Contributions of Materials and Time
Have Been Practically Unending
Figures Tell of Work Done
by the Various Chapters.
October 23 the .1,8.14 chapters of the
Bed Cross held their annunl meetings
to elect officers nnd make reporK To
bo read at all these meetings through
out the United States, the Bed Cross
Wnr Council hent the following nn
mini message covering tho woik of
the, Bed Cross for the post year
To the Chapters of the American Bed
Cross :
Tho War Council sends greetings to
the chapters of tbo American Bed
Cross on tho occasion of their annual
meetings for 1018.
With these greetings go congratula
tions on the great work of the chapters
during the past year and, nboe nil
things, on the wonderful spirit of sac
rifice and patriotism which has per
vaded that work.
The strength of the Bed Cross rests
upon Its chapters. They are Its bone
and sinew. They supply Its funds,
they supply Its men nnd women, they
supply Its enthusiasm. Let us, then,
review together the Bed Cross story
of the past year.
Some Idea of the size to which your
Bed Cross family has grown may be
gathered from tho following facts:
On May 1, 1017, Just before the ap
pointment of the War Council, tho
American Bed Cross hnd 480,104 mem
bers working through 502 chapters.
On July 31, 1018, the organization
numbered 20,048.103 annual members,
besides 8,000,000 ' members of the
Junior Bed Cross a total enrollment
of over one-fourth the population of
'.ho United States.
Since the beginning of the war you
of tho chapters have co-operated with
the War Council In conducting two wnr
fund drives and one membership drive,
In addition to tho cumpalgn on behalf
of the Junior Bed Cross.
The total actual collections to date
from tho first war fund havo amounted
to more thnn $115,000,000. Tim sub
scriptions to the second war fund
amounted to upwards of 5170,000,000.
From membership dues the collec
tions hnvo amounted to cpproxlmatcly
124,500,000.
Splendid Work Done by Women.
To the forcglng must bo ndded that
very large contribution of tnuterlals
and time glvcifhy the millions of wom
en throughout tlio country In surgical
dressings, In knitted articles, In hos
pital and refugee garments, In enntejm
work, and tho otlier activities tho chap
ters have been called upon to perform.
It Is estimated that approximately
8,000,000 women aro engaged in can
teen work and the production of relief
supplies through the chapters.
For the period up to July 1, 1918,
American Bed pross chapters, through
their workrooms, had produced: ..
400,120 refugee gnnnents.
7,123,021 hospital supplies.
10,780,480 hospital garments.
10,134,501 knitted articles.
102,748,107 surgical dressings.
A total of 221,282,838 articles of an
estimated aggregate value of at least
$44,000,000.
These articles were largely the
product of women's hands, and, by the
same token, Infinitely more precious
than could have been the output of
factories or machines. These articles
going to tho operating room of the hos
pitals, to homeless or needy refugees,
and carrying comfort to our own boys
in the field, convey a niessneo of love
from the women of this country entire
ly distinct from the great money value
attaching to their handiwork.
Money Spent In Work.
By the terms under which the first
Red Cross war fund was raised, the
chapters were entitled to retain 25 per
cent of the amount collected, In order
defray local expenses, to carry on their
home service work, to purchase ma
terials to bo utilized In chapter produc
tion nnd otherwise to meet the nuraer-
i ous calls mado upon them. The chap-
1 tera were thus entitled to retain nearly
$20,000,000. As a matter of fuct, their
actual retentions amounted to only
about $22,000,000.
I Out of collections from annual mem
bershlps, the chapters havo retained
1 about $11,000,000.
From this total sum, therefore, of $33,
000,000 retained by tho chapters, they
have met all the oftentimes very heavy
local demands upon them, nnd In nddl-
tlon hnvo provided for use by national
headquarters products allied, ns
stated above, at upwurds of $44,000,
000. Tho chapters have in effect returned
to tho War Council, not alone the $33,-
000,000 retained out of tho wnr fund
membership dues but, In vnlua of
actual product, an additional contribu
tion of nt least $11,000,000.
It wtll thus been seen that during
the eighteen months which havo
elapsed since tho United States en
tered the war, tho American pooplo
will havo cither paid In or pledged to
tho American Bed Cross for its work
of relief throughout the world, In
money or In material values, a net
total of nt least $325,000,000.
This outpouring of genoioslty In ma.
terlnl things has been accompanied by
n spontaneity In the giving, by an en
thulnsm and n devotion In the doing,
which, after nil, are greater and bigger
than could bo anything measured In
terms of time or dollars.
It hns been because of this spirit
which has pervaded nil American Bed
Cross effort lu this war thnt the aged
governor of one of the stricken nnd
battered provinces of Franco -stated
not long since thnt, though France hnd
long known of America's greatness,
strength nnd enterprise, It remained
for tho American Bed Cross In this war
to reveal America's heart.
In this country, nt this moment, the
workers of tho Bed Cross, through Its
chapters, nro helping to ndd to the
comfort nnd health of the millions of
our soldiers In 102 camps and canton
ments, ns well as of those traveling on
railroad trains or embarking on ships
for duty oversells.
The home servlco of the Bed Cross,
with Its now more thnn 40,000 workers.
Is extending Its ministrations of sym
pathy and counsel each month to up
wards of 100,000 families left behind
by soldiers at tho front n number
ever growing with the Incrcnse of our
men under arms.
But, of course, the heart of the Bed
Cross and Its money nnd attention al
ways move toward nnd focus them
selves In Europe where the American
Bod Cross, us truly "the greutcst moth
er In tho world," Is Beeklng to draw "a
vast net of mercy through an ocean of
unspenknble pnln."
Red Cross Worth Recognized.
Nothing Is withheld thnt can be
given over there to supplement tho
efforts of our nrmy and navy In caring
for our own boys. The Bed Cross does
not pretend to do tho work of tho
medical corps of tho army or tho navy;
Its purpose Is to help and to supple
ment. Nor does the Bed Cross seek to
glorify what It does or those who do
it; our satisfaction is In the result,
which, we are assured by Secretary
Baker, General Pershing, General Ire
land and all our leaders, Is of Ines
timable value and of Indispensable Im
portance. By the first of January your Bed
Cross will have working In France up
wards of 6,000 "Americans n vivid
contrast to ttie llttlo group of eighteen
men nnd women which, as the first Bed
Cross commission to France, sailed
about Juno 1, 1017, to Initiate our of
forts la Europe.
Under your commission to France
tho work has been carefully organized,
facilities have been provided, and ef
fective efforts mado to so co-operate
with the army as to carry out the de
termination of the American people,
nnd especially of the members of the
Bed Cross, that our boys "over thero"
shall lack for nothing which may add
to their safety, comfort nnd happiness.
Your Bed Cross now has active, op
erating commissions in France, In Eng
land, In Italy, In Belgium, In Switzer
land, in Palestine nnd In Greece. You
have sent a shlplond of relief supplies
and n group of devoted workers to
northern Russia; you have dispatched
a commission to work behind our arm
ies in eastern Siberia; you havo sent
special representatives to Denmark, to
Serbia and to tho island of Madeira.
Carries Message of Hope.
Your Bed Cross 1b thus extending re
lief to the armies and navies of our
allies; and you aro carrying a practical
message of hope and relief to the
friendly peoples of afflicted Europe and
Asia.
Indeed, wo are told by those best In
formed in tlio countries of our ulllea
that the efforts of your Red Cross to
aid the soldiers and to sustain the
morale of the civilian populations left
nt homo, especially in France nnd
Italy, have constituted a very real fac
tor in winning the war.
The veil has already begun to lift.
The defection of Bulgaria, which by
the time this message can be read may
hnvo been followed by events still more
portentous, mny point the way to yet
greuler Red Cross opportunity and ob
ligation. "The cry from Macedonia" to
come nnd help will probably prove one
of the most appealing messages te
which the world has ever listened.
What tho Rod Cross may be called
upon to do In tho further course of the
war, or with the coming of victory,
peace and reconstruction, It would be
Idle to attempt to prophesy.
But your great organization, In very
truth "tho mobilized heart and spirit
of the whole American people," has
shown Itself equal to nny call, ready te
respond to any emergency.
Spirit of All Best and Highest.
The American Red Cross has become
not so much an organization as a great
movement, seeking to embody in organ
ized form the spirit of service, the
spirit of sacrifice In short, all that is
best and highest In tho Ideals and as
pirations of our country.
Indeed we cunnot but believe that
this wonderful spirit which service In
nnd for the Bed Cross has evoked in
this war, Is destined to become In our
national Ufa an element of permanent
value.
At Christmas time we shall ask the
whole American people to answer the
Bed Cross Christmas roll cull. It will
constitute a unique appeal to every
mnn, woman nnd child In this great
bind of ours to become enrolled In our
nrmy of mercy.
It Is tho hope of tho War Council
that this Christmas membership roll
call shall constitute n reconsccrntlon
of the whole Amerlcnn people, an In
spiring rcassortlon to mnnklnd that In
this hour of world tragedy, not to con
quer but to serve Is America's supreme
aim.

Not Necessary to Summon Doc
tor in Mild Cases of Span
ish Influenza.
REST IN BED IS IMPORTANT
Acute Shortage of Medical and Nurs
ing Service Makes It Imperative
That People Learn Something
of Care of Sick.
Washington. In uu effort to reduco
unnecessary calls on flic over-worked
physicians throughout the country be
cause of the present epidemic of In
fluenza, Surgeon Uenernl Blue of tho
United States public health service
lulls upon the people of the country to
learn something about the home euro
of patients 111 with Inlluenzu. Phy
sicians everywhere linve complained
nbout tbo Inrgo number of unnecessary
calls they have hud to make because
of the Inability of many people to dis
tinguish between the cases requiring
expert medical care and those which
could rendlly bo cared for without n
physician. With lutluenzn continuing
to spread In many parts of the coun
try, and with nn acute shortage of doc
tors nnd nurses everywhere, every un
necessary call on either physicians or
nurses makes It so much harder to
meet tho urgent needs of the patients
who nro seriously ill.
Present Generation Spoiled.
"The present generation," said tho
surgeon general, "has been spoiled by
having hud expert medical and uurslng
cure readily nvnllnble. It was not so
In the dnys of our grandmothers, when
every good housewife wns expected to
know a good deal ubout the care of tho
sick.
"Every person who feels sick and
appears to be developing nn attack
of intlucnzii sjiould nf once be put to
bed In n well-ventilnted room. If bis
bowels have moved regularly, It Is not
necessary to give n physic; where u
physic Is needed, n dose of castor oil
or Bochelle salts should be given.
"Tho room should be cleared of all
unnecessary furniture, brlc-u-bruc, nnd
rugs. - A wash basin, pitcher, and slop
bowl, soap nnd towel should be at
Imnd, preferably In the room or Just
outside the door.
"If the puttent Is feverish n doctor
should be called, and this should be
done In nny case If the patient appears
very sick, or coughs up pinkish (blood
stained) sputum, or breathes rapidly
and painfully.
"Most of the patients cough up con
siderable mucus; In some, there Is
much mucus discharged from the noso
and throat. This material should not
, be collected In handkerchiefs, but
rather In bits of old rags, or toilet pa
per, or on paper nankins. As soon as
used, these rags or papers should be
placed In u paper bag kept beside tho '
bed. Pocket handkerchiefs are out of
place In the sick room and should not
be used by pntlents. The rags or pa
pers In the pnper bag should be burned.
"The patlcrits will not be hungry,
nnd tho diet should therefore be light.
Milk, u soft-boiled egg, some tonstor
crackers, a bit of Jelly or Jam, stcved
fruit, some cooked cereal like oatmeal,
hominy or rice these will suffice In
most cases.
Comfort of Patient.
v "The comfort of the patient dependp
on a number of little things, und these
should not be overlooked. Among
these may be mentioned a wcll-ventl-lated
room; a thoroughly elenn hedi
with fresh, smooth sheets and pillow
cases; quiet, so that refreshing sleep'
mny be had ; cool drinking water con
veniently plnced; a cool compress toi
the forehead If there is headache ;
keeping the patient's hands nnd fnco'
clean, nnd the hair combed; keeping
his mouth clean, preferably with some
pleusant mouth wash; letting tho pa
tient know that someone Is within cnll,
but not annoying him with too much
fussing; giving tho patient plenty of
opportunity to rest and Bleep.
"So much for the patient. It la
equally important to consider the per
son who is caring for him. It la Im
portant to remember that the disease.
Is spread by breathing germ-laden mat
ter sprayed Into tho air by the patient
lu coughing or even In ordinary breath- (
Ing. The attendant should therefore!
wear a gauze mask over her mouth
and uose while she Is In the sick room.,
Observe Cleanliness. .
"The attendnnt should, if possible,
wear a washable gown or an apron
which covers the dress. This will mnke
it much simpler to avoid Infection.
"It Is desirable that all attendants
learn how to uso a fover thermometer.
This Is not at all a difficult matter, and
the use of such a thermometer Is a
grent help In cnrlng for the pntlents.
"In closing, nnd lest I bo misunder
stood, I wish to leave ono word of
caution: If In doubt, call the doctor."
Fact.
"Wo'vo hnd to como 17,000 miles to
gel in this light," remarked an Aus
tralian In France.
"Wo haven't hnd to como thnt fnr,"
replied an American, "but It's Just ns
hard to swim the Atlautlc as It Is the
Pacific."
Taking Chances.
"nave they found out yet what Is
tho matter with your son. Mike?"
"No, sir, so they've took him to the
orsepltal to have a autopsy perform
ed on him,"
There wns never a time when the sac
rifices nnd the help of women wcro moro
