This is a war not of armies. It is
a war of nations. There Is not a man

armies of France that are the essen-

Those armies will do their part and

nreat work which the lied Cross-—
:Imnks not to those on member side.
(maimed. It Is this work that has
made the American lied Cross the Ill-’I
rest known single factor since our
entry Into them".
The American lied Cross. beginning
its operations in France. went into a
country' that was stripped by three
years of war. There Is very little that
run he bought on the other side In the
way of supplies and material. There
is very little that can be bad in the
way of human power. The Red Cross

needed in‘ Its undertaking. It had also
to get together suppllgs from places
other than In Europe itself.
The Red Cross on arriving In France
started Inimcdlulcly the construction
of a great system of transportation
and warehouses. This system Is very
complicated. The government had oc-
cupied practically all the points do-
sirnliie for warehouse sites.
“Warehouses Crammed With Stuff."
But the lied Cross has a iystem of
warehouses. beginning at eight of the
principal ports In France. In Paris it
the front. particularly in Belgium. all
the way down to and along the French
lino. along that down to Italy and
along the Italian line. at the seaports
uml along railway routes the Iicil
Cross has warehouses, crammed‘ with
stuff at points where it can get hold
of It when trouble comes.
'l‘o supplcment this warehouse sys«
tom. it has about 500 ambulances and
motor trucks concentrated in Paris
nod others distributed at various
points so that in case of an emergency
the lied Cross can use them to get
quick action anywhere along the front.
The Department 'of Civil Affairs is
working among the children of France.
it hopes. in cooperation with the
French government. to be able to re-
i‘:ice. In due course. the number of
deaths of young Infants in France
from 80.000 in your to 40,000 a year.
These little lots are brought back
from the districts where they are un-
der gas fire. They are too small to
wear a gas mask and consequently
they would be killed. From Toule
ambulances move around In the coun-
try. There. are clinics where our doc-
tors and nurses are for the sick. par-
ticularly children. who cannot other-
wise geHreatment because all the doc-
tors hnve been called Into the service.
Fighting Tuberculosis.
in conjunction with the Rockefeller,
Foundation It Is' conducting a work
against tuberculosis. which Is certain-
ly unparalleled In the history of the
World. France has suilcred greatly
from tuberculosis as a result of'the
people living In nnwholesome dugouts.
Tuberculosis has developed in the
trenches too.
Working with the Rockefeller Foun-
dation. the lied Crosu has put into cf.-
tect a system of education in France.
a system to care for bad cases El sani-
torluma and a system which will lead
to the establishment of 300 dispensa-
rles throughout France, with visiting
nurses attached.
In the military division the lied
