"The American Red Cross recognizes that our first duty tor humanity In this war Is the protection of our soldiers In Km nee, It recognlr.es also that this duty lies with the United States gov ernment and that the government Is responsible for It As a supplement ary relief organization the Red Cross I Mnmis ready to co-operate with the ' government In tills work, and to put Us organization, money and supplies , Into service at the cull of the Ameri can" army whenever und wherever they can be of jise. Fully realizing the dls j advantages that are always met In a foreign country, and with the view of j keeping our soldiers In touch" with ; thlugs American, the Red Cross begins at the port of landing In France by establishing rest stations. These rest ! stations extend Inland tqward the camps und are located In a series at Junction points und railroad stations 1 where the soldiers - are required to J wait for train connections. ' "Chief work of the American Red ; Cross In helping care for wounded sol- diers lies la Its co-operutlon with the government In supplying an efficient mining service; in assisting the Army i Medical corps In cases of emergency, j nnd in furnishing malerlals for hos pitals. There were on March 1, 1018, j more than twenty-three hundred Atncr : lean Red Cross nurses employed in base hospitals and In the French mili tary hospitals throughout the republic The total number of hospitals of va rious sorts In the French republic ex coeds live thousand, and more than half of these lire receiving all or part of their medical and surgical supplies from Hie American Red Cross. ' Re-education. "The re-edueution of mutilated sol diers Is being carried on Jointly by the French government and the American Red Cross. There are between fifty nnd sixty schools of various kinds for this work. The Red Cross has provld. ed more than six hundred mutilated soldiers with artificial legs of the best type, und has established a factory near Palis where artificial limbs are manufactured. By arranging for con-i saltation between the surgeon nud the I manufacturer, the Red Cross, has been able to secure the best possible treat ment for each case. , With the wanton destruction of homes by the German army and the uprooting of the population In the dev astated regions, the home as an In stitution In prance Is In peril,. Real izing this condition, the Red Cross Is endeavoring to keep the soldiers' homes Intact; to And homes for the outcast children who have neither homes nor parents, und to help the refugees and repatries to find a place to live until they shall be able to re build their homes. "The most telling work of the Red Cross In France, as far as helping to win the war goes, la the care of the families of the French soldiers. The Red Cross Is giving to the needy fam ilies of these French soldiers supplies and money, according to their needs, j "When the German army Invaded j Frnnce, hundreds tof thousands of French people were driven from their! homes and ore now scattered through-! out the republic. These people ure known as refugees. The pumber has; Increased, of course, for various reu-i sons until now (here are more thnn 1,-1 200,000, embracing all classes and ages,1 except able-bodied men. There are ap-1 proxlmotely 500,000 refugees In Paris alone. .. "The housing of these people Is one' of the greatest problems of the French' government. O'he American Red Cross ! is co-operutlng with the French govern- j ment in this work." . j The rise of the collar on gowns keeps pace with the narrowness o the skirts.
