War Relief.
The American Red Cross is the lar­
gest and most efficient organization
for the relief of suffering that the
world has ever seen.
It is made up almost entirely of vol­
unteer workers, the higher executives
being without exception men accus­
tomed to large affairs, who are in
almost all cases giving their services
without pay.
It is supported entirely by its mem­
bership fees and by voluntary contri­

It is today bringing relief to suffer­
ing humanity, both military and civil,
in every war torn allied country.
It plans tomorrow to help in the
work of restoration throughout
world.
It feeds and clothes entire popula­
tions in times of great calamity.
It is there to help your soldier boy
in his time of need.
With its thousands of workers, its
tremendous stores and smooth run­
ning transportation facilities, it is
serving as America’s advance guard—
and thus helping to win the war.
