Red Cross Drives War Aid Across Europe and Russia
The American Red Cross reports major war relief actions including sending over $100,000 in supplies to Europe weekly, 700 tons of food to France weekly, and $200,000 for relief in Romania and Italy. It maintains two hospital ships for the U S Navy, runs a motor transport service in France, and supports 50 base hospitals with 15 en route. A special mission aids babies in France, and reports from 2600 Chapters promise detailed financial and membership data. Messages from Pershing and relief workers urge unity of war relief efforts under the Red Cross. The organization plans 125 motor ambulances for Russia and has sent half a million dollars in medical supplies. Membership nears 4,000,000 with growth in the Northwest, and regional knitting efforts for troops continue. The appeal urges universal affiliation and support alongside Liberty Bonds and government loyalty.
