Then wheYi I face the small boy I want to go ofl in a wide hih place alone and think and ask God- I want to go down into the city and fight Tight with m -money and with my hope, go over the top with rrsv religion and then come back and face the small bov There are days during this struggle vwhen mv.soul b spent and all the world seems made, ol iron and glass nd all; these crowds of people Hoiking' through the " treets who'do.not seem to care J.

There Is a complete organisation at rnch divi sion, with a great warehouse for the collection nnd shipuseut of all kinds of tied Crass supplies, operating 30 cuntecna at the front line. .

And that 120.000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris headquarters of the American Red Cross from your various chapters scattered - throughout the -United States. ' . What does all - this mean to you? And I have, told you but a fraction of the work your Red Cross hus done and la doln'g. It meana that without this ceaseless, heroic work of the American Red Cross, we could never win this war. . Without your Red Cross thousands In Rumania would bave starved to denth. Without your Red Cross Italy would never hove realized that powerful sup port of 'lie United States In the hour of need. . Without your Red Cross thousands of French soldiers now gallantly fight ing tit yon at the front would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of food, - v Rut now we must all redouble our efforts tnd sacrifices for our Red Cross hecnitse a million mothers' sons are going to carry the stars nnd stripes to the greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting for honor and liberty. .
