"To the American People:
"The War Ooitncll of the American
Red Croe appointed by President Wil

work of the Aim-rliun Red CroH dur

Aecounta Audited by War Department
"Iietnlled report to Congress and a
comiilete audit of Ha account by the
War Department will constitute the
Anal record of Red Cross activity dur
ing the war. Although It has been
Uie rule to nmke public all expend!
turea when authorized and to give de
tailed Information relative lo ull work
uudertuki-n. the Wht Council In turn
tug over Ita rcKiMiniilillltleN to Dr. Far-
rand and hi aawiclutea desire to give
brief rvautno Of lied Crone unr time
L-acllvitle to- iha-.Americao-aoiie, to
wnom tlie lied Cross belong, and whose
generoua contributions huve mutle pos
ilble all that has been accomplished.
"During the past nearly twenty-one
month the American eople hnve
given In' cash and supplle to the
American lied Cross more thnn S-i(K).
000.000. No value can be placed upon
tne contributions of service which
have been given without stint rind nf
tentlmes at great aucrlflce by millions
or our people.
"Tho effort of the American Red
Cross In this war hii constituted h
far the largest voluntary gift of
money, or nana ana heart, ever con
trlbutcd purely for the relief nf hn
man suffering. Through the lied Cross
me neart , ami spirit or the whole
American people have been mobilized
to tako care of our own, to relieve the
misery inciuent to the war, and also
to reveal to the world the supreme
ideniR or our national life.
"Everyone who baa had any part In
mia war effort or the Red Crosa I en
titled to congratulate himself. No
thanks from anyone could be equal In
vaiue to tne self satisfaction every
one should feel for the nit tnkn
Fully 8,000,000 American women hare
exertea themselves In Red Cross serv
ice. Haa Over 17,000,000 Adult Member.
"When we entered tlie war th
American Red Crosa had about 600,000
members. Today, as the result of the
recent Christmas membership Roll
Call, there are upwards of 17,000,000
full paid members outside nf th mam.
bers of the Junior Red Cross, number
ing pernaps u.uuo.OOO school children
additional.
."The chief effort of 'the Red Cross
during the war has been to care for
our men In service nnd to aid our
army and nnvj wherever the Red
Cross may be called on to assist. As
to this phase of the work Surgeon Gen
eral Ireland of the U. a Army recent
ly said : 'The Red Cross has been an
enterprise as vast as the war itself.
From the beginning It ha done those
things which the Army Medical Corps
wanted done, but could not do Itself.'
"The Red Cross endeavor In France
haa naturally -been upon an exception
ally large scale where service has
been rendered to tha American Army
and to the French Army and the
French people as well, the latter par
ticularly during the trying period
when the Allied World was waiting
for the American Army to, arise In
force and power. Hospital emergency
service for our army In France has
greatly diminished, bat the Red Cross
la still being called upon for Service
upon a large scale In the great, base
bospltala. . where thousands of Ameri
can sick and wounded are still receiv
ing attention. At these hospitals the
Red Cross supplies huts and facilities
for the amusement and recreation of
the men aa they become convalescent.
Onr Army of Occupation In Germany
waa followed with Medical units pre-
pared to rendi-r Ihr lame emergency
aldnd supply service' which was the
primary tui'liir-M t the lied Cross
during hostilities. The Army Canteen
service along the line of travel ha
actually Im reiiMed since tl.e nriiil.itlew
"A for work among the French peo
ple, now that hostllltle have censed,
the French themm ives naturally pre
fer a fur as possible to provide for
their own. It ha accordingly been de
termined tlint the guiding principle of
Red Cross policy In Fram e henceforth
shall be to have punctilious regurd to
It every responsibility, but to direct
It effort primarily to assisting
French relief societies. The UliefHted
and devastated regions of .France have
been divided by tlie government Into
smull districts, each officially assigned
to a designated French relief organi
sation., "The American Red Cross work In
France was Initiated by a commission
of eighteen men who landed on French
shore June 13, Jan. Since then
some 0,000 person have been u:x.n the
rolls In Prance, of whom 7,0tX), were
actively engnced when the nrm'stlce
was signed. An Indication of the pres
ent scale of the work will be obtained
from the fact that the services of 6,000
persons are still required.
"Our American 'Expeditionary Force
having largely evacuated England, the
activities of the Red Cros Commis
sion there tire naturally upon a dimin
ishing acule period. Active operations
are still In progress In Archangel and
Siberia.
'The work In Italy baa been almost
entirely on behalf of the civilian pop
ulation of that country. In the critical
hour of Italy' struggle the American
people, through their Red Cross, sent
a practical message of sympathy and
relief," for which tlie government and
people of Italy have never ceased to
express their grutltude.
8upplles and Personnel to Near East
"The occasion for such concentra
tion of effort In Italy, England, Ilel
glum and even In France having nntur
ally and normally diminished. It hut
been poxslhle to divert supplies and
personnel In large measure to the aid
of those people in the Near East who
have hitherto been Inaccessible to out
side nsslstance, but whose sufferings
nsve Keen upon an appalling scale,
i The needs of these peoples are so vast
that government alone can meet them,
but the American Red Onus la mnblni,
an effort to relieve Immediately the
more acute distress.
An extensive group of Amerlcnn
worker luis been dlsnntched to rnrrv
vitally needed supplies, and to work
this winter In the various Hulkan coun
tries. In order to co-ordinate their ac
tivities, a Balkan commission bus been
established, with headqimrtera at
Home, Italy, from which point alone
all tlUT.lkan centers can be reached
promptly. , .
"A commission has Just reached Po
land with doctors nnd nurses, medical
supplies, nnd food for sick children
and Invalids. An American Red Cross
Commission hn also been appointed
io am in relieving the suffering of Rus
sian prisoners still confined in German
prison camps.
"An lmKrtant commission Is still
working In Palestine. Through the
war special co-operation has been
given to the Armenian and Svrlnn Ro-
lief Commission, which wus the only
agency auie to carry relief In the In
terlor of Turkish dominions.
Red Cross Will Continue.
"Red Cross effort Is thus far flung.
it win continue to be so. Dut tlie
movement represented hv this nrk
bas likewise assumed an Intimate place
in tne daily life of our neonle at homo
The army of workers which has been
recruited and trained during the war
must not be dcmobl Ized. All onr nr.
perlence In the war shows clearly thai
there Is an unlimited field for service
of the kind which can be performed
with peculiar effectiveness by the Red
Cross. What Its future tasks may bt
It Is yet Impossible to forecast We
know that so lonr as there la an Amer
ican army In the Held the Red Cross
will nave a special function to perform.
"Nothing could be of greater Impor
tance to" the American Red Cross thnn
the r!nns Just set in motion hv the five
great Red Cross societies of the world
io aeveiop a program or extended ac
tivities In the Interest of humanity.
The conception involves not alone ef
forts to relieve human suffering, bui
to prevent it! not alone 'a movemen'
by the people of au Individual nation
but an attempt to arouse all people t
a sense of their responsibility for thi
welfnre of their fellow beings through
out the world. It Is a program boti
Ideal and practical. Ideal In that iti
supreme aim 1s nothing less than ver
Itable "Pence .on iarth good will ti
men," and practical In that It seeks tc
take means and measures which an
actually available and make them ef
fective in meeting without delay thi
crisis which Is daily recurrent In th
lives of all peoples.
"For accomplishing Its mission It
the years of peace which must lit
ahead of u the Red Cross will requln
the ablest possible leadership, ant
must eajoy the continued support, sym
pnthy, and participation In Ita wort
of the whole American people. It li
particularly fortunate that such a mar
as Dr. Livingston Farrand should havi
been selected aa the nermanent hear
of the organization. .' The unstlntec
fashion In which ut
- -- fiwm a,l
of themselves throughout the war li
me iirsi nHsurauce i lint our Ilea Crosi
will continue to receive that cihopera
Hon which will make Ita work a ami red
of pride and Inspiration to every Amer
lean." '
