Facts About the American Red Cross in the War Zone
The Red Cross runs twenty dispensaries in the American Army Zone in France to aid needy families and bolster health. It houses and feeds thousands of children to shield them from gas and shell fire. The War Zone is split into six districts with workers distributing cooking utensils, bedding, food and clothing. Builders provide ready-to-use housing before destroyed homes cool. Over two hundred tons of supplies enter Paris daily, with 125 tons reshipped to branch warehouses in France. An artificial limb factory operates outside Paris plus plants for splints.
