Newspaper Page TextThe Red Cross Ready for Peace THE following message has been telegraphed by the War Council of the American Red Cross to each one of the 3,857 chapters: “On February 10th, fast year, nearly six weeks be fore the United States declared war, National Red Cross Headquarters advised its chapters to prepare for war. That which has followed in the record of the Red Cross in helping to win this war and to relieve the suffering growing out of it, constitutes something of which every American citizen has a right to be proud. Every Ameri can Red Cross worker must feel a sense of gratitude in having had a share in it all. “The moment is now come to prepare for peace. Until peace is really here and our soldiers home there can be.no relaxation in any Red Cross effort incident to active hostilities. “But even with peace, let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded. Owing to the shortage in shipping, it may take a year or more to bring our boys home from France. But whatever the time, our protecting arms must be about them a id their families over the whole period which must elapse before the normal life of peace can be re sumed. “Our soldiers and sailors are enlisted until the Com mander-in-Chief tells them there is no more work for them to do in the war. Let every Red Cross member and worker—and this means both men and women—show our returning soldiers and sailors that to care for their health, welfare and happiness we are enlisted for no less period than they are. “The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery such as the world has never seen before, especially in the many countries which cannot help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as their agent in repairing broken spirits and broken bodies. Peace terms and peace conditions will determine how we may best minister to the vast stricken areas which have been harrowed by war, and for this great act of mercy the heart and spirit of the American people must continue to be mobilized through the Amer ican Red Cross. “On behalf of the War Council, we accordingly ask each member of our splendid body of workers through out the land to bear in mind the solemn obligation which rests upon each one to ‘carry on/ We cannot abate one instant in our efforts or in our spirits. There will be abundance of work to do, and specific advices will be given, but even at the moment of peace let no Red Cross worker falter. “Our spirits must now call us to show that not the roar of cannon or the blood of our own alone directs our activities, but that a great people will continue to respond greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to serve/' CANTEENS SERVING U. S, TROOPS IN ITALY The American Red Cross canteens, which serve at railroad stations, im portant points on highroads, and in towns and villages throughout the Italian zone of war, are now serving American troops. These canteens have been -operating during the past six months for the henetit of the Ital ian army and its allies, greeting the soldiers in their passage from one point to another with coffee and American crackers and jam. But it is only recently that the khaki-clad fighters from across the sea have been added to the number of those served at the Bed Cross rest stations. Numerous bowling greens have been established by the American Red Cross in the tuberculosis be-racks of Paris.

Army officers say the service fills a long-felt want, providing the men with sporting and home news they cannot find In the English newspapers. The arrival of the bulletin is now one of the big daily events. In this connection a Red Cross worker in England sends the following message to National Headquarters in Wash ington : “After talking with the boys about the daily nows service I have been told to notify you that if the bulletin is discontinued you will be court-mar tialed and shot" Was Restless at Night Sufferers from kidney troubles experience backache, rheumatic pains, aches in joints and muscles and other torturous afflictions.

Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment.

HEP BRAVE BELGIANS DSiVECUT ENEMY American Red Cross Aids With Supplies and Comforts in the Equipment of Valiant Army. IT Is particularly interesting to Amer icans to know the tremendous work which the American 4>ed Cross done toward relieving dis tress in Belgium. Among the many things done for King Albert’s gallant little army by the Red Cross the fol lowing are a few: It established a dining room and reading and writing room at the ware houses in Le Havre. It gave a plate und a bowl to 6,000 munition workers in to use at their meals. It tilted up recreation rooms for workers at munition plants. It installed a co-operative restaurant for the military personnel of the Mari time Agency at Le Havre. It installed shower baths and a bar ber shop for the army garrisons in Le Havre. In army training centers the Red Cress gave household comforts, phouo graphs, games, etc. It established a dormitory for 200 men tit the Home for Permissionaires at Calais. It established a canteen and library at Calais. It established another canteen for the personnel of sanitary trains. It gave material and games for a canteen for the personnel of the naval base at . It gave the same for a canteen for the personnel of Belgian seaplane units. It equipped a mess for the personnel of the unit at Calais. It gave tents, canteens, reading rooms and shower baths for the per sonnel of the Bourbough bakery. It organized dining rooms for searchlight companies and artillery batteries having fixed cantonments, and installed shower baths in them. It distributed 60,000 enameled plates and cups for soldiers in the trenches. It gave prizes for organized athletic tournaments. It sent presents to each man deco rated for bravery. These presents are usually razors, pipes, fountain pens and such. Up to now this work has only applied to the infantry. (The Re*l Cross provided the appa ratus and films for cinema shows. Right thousand soldiers see them every day. It supplied books for all soldiers. It installed a recreation and writing room at the large cantee" at La Panne. It presented to every infantry and cavalry regimental surgeon a medical traveling case, holding a set of medi cal instruments for field service. This work required an appropria tion of approximately 1.2. r )0.000 francs. Straight from the front is this com ment of a Belgian colonel. It was made recently while he was sitting in his dugout talking of the work of a canteen for which the American Red Cross had just provided quarters on very short notice. “One live demonstration like this is better than a year of talk.” ■—•— American Red Cross has erected a barracks at Dijon, France, to sene as a day nursery for the children of the French women who work In the United States Army camouflage factory.
