Hand of Mercy: Red Cross War Zone Aid Across France
The American Red Cross runs twenty dispensaries in the Army Zone in France and operates six districts to deliver cooking utensils, bedding, food, and clothing. It houses the homeless with ready to put up buildings and ships over two hundred tons of supplies daily, including an artificial limb factory near Paris and splint plants, to aid troops and needy families. It asks for public pledges to sustain this relief effort amid the war.
