Acting Quartermaster General outlines the theme of faith and hope as central to America in a ceremonial address emphasizing national resolve and unity.
A mother sobs as a boy, a nurse, and Red Cross imagery fill a wartime memory. The speaker recalls shadow figures and the longing for a loved one as the Red Cross work crosses the seas. A dreamwide homecoming follows with a cheering crowd and reunion with the beloved.
The American Red Cross is praised as the greatest volunteer organization. Washington officials announce millions have worked six days a week without pay. The Red Cross has donated over 1,000,000 sweaters to the Army and Navy, with 500,000 knit by local chapters, reflecting remarkable sacrifice by volunteers nationwide.
Cardinal Gibbons appeals to Baltimore readers to back the Red Cross in aiding soldiers and sailors and to extend charity through Christian principles. He urges generous cooperation with the committee to meet the vast need and uphold duty and mercy.
American Red Cross officials, led by Henry W. Anderson, sustained relief in Roumania by sending a convoy from Petrograd to Jussy. A Macanson chargered train distributed food and clothing to over 10,000 people with more cars from Odessa expected. The effort demonstrates the organization and its volunteers aiding those fighting for freedom despite war’s upheaval.
A Red Cross canteen worker and French assistant endure an all night artillery duel. Shells crash, a nearby wall is blown out while they keep fires burning and prepare meals for soldiers in a ruined front house.
From the ground observers watch a wounded French boy saved by quick ambulance action and Red Cross care. The nurse says equipment and speed cost little, perhaps a dollar or two, but that dollar can feel like a miracle to a mother and father awaiting news. The narrator wonders if a reader’s dollar helped.
A Red Cross nurse describes bandaging wounded houses in a war zone, guiding 27 carpenters to rebuild a French village site in the Sugar beet country. The work restores villages, farms, and beets fields, aiming to feed troops and sustain war effort before moving to the next ruin.
The American Red Cross shifts focus from war to health in France combating tuberculosis. It has opened hospitals and plans more than a hundred dispensaries with Vounteers and doctors dedicating efforts, mirroring Christmas seal campaigns back home. This effort is framed as repaying a debt to France.
