The American Red Cross fed clothed and sheltered 15000 refugees arriving in Paris. They distributed food water and medical care while 40 extra workers helped feed train passengers providing corned beef bread cheese macaroni and chocolate. Refugees were kept clean and sheltered with all receiving basic necessities.
