America has played no part in the
war which offers more material proof
of its success than the work of the
Red Cross agencies. Despite the few
German lies which have been scatter
ed, the Red Cross has Accomplished
in an efficient manner a gigantic
task. Its past record speaks for itself.
It has formed the second line of
defense of all the allied armies lit the
field. Its army has been mobile.
There has been no year of delay in
getting it started. It has been a
model of efficiency-and effectiveness.
It Had a battery of motor ambu
lances at the Piave front four days
after the United States declared war
on Austria. - t
It is j supporting 50,000 French
children.
It sends supplies to 3,423 French
military hospitals.'
It shipped forty-six freight car
loads of assorted supplies to Italy
from France within two weeks after
it began operating in Italy.
It sorted a hundred different rem-
* edial Activities* in Italy, whose result
was to strengthen the spirit of the
Italian people, at the. time when
things were in tho most critical con
dition.
Without the American Red Cross
thousands in Rumania would have
starved to death.
Without it thousands of French
soldiers now gallantly fighting for us
at the front would have died from
wounds, exposure and lack of food.
All this work will be continued to
a large extent this year, and in addi
tion will come the greater task of
keeping alive in the heart bf the
American soldier that spirit of the
home which is a cardinal virtue in
American life. - ‘' 1
The ideals of a nation must find
their source in the homes of the peo
ple. To the soldier in the front line
or in the camp behind the line the
Red Cross brings to him those things
which his loved ones at home would if
distance permitted. Though his busi
ness may be- fighting, the American
soldier must not bo permitted to live
in blood alone, as does the German
soldier, for blood alone means lust and
crime.
For these reasons the people at
homec an not afford to refuse the
funds which the Red Cross asks. The
gifts to that services are the concrete
expressions of fathers and mothers
at home to their sons abroad and they
mut shovf the faith of, a nation which
is back of her defenders.
