SERVICE ON WHEELS

In modern warfare there Is much portable relief work done. Instead of carrying the wounded man to hospital and canteen, canteen and hospital are moved to him. The first thing that is done for a man after the battle is to give him something to eat. The American Red Cross has rolling canteens - that take hot bouillon, coffee, tea, cocoa, lemonade and sandwiches right to she front line trenches. To the man who is wounded there is a mobile hospital brought to his very elbow. This is the “autochlr,” a special motor truck that carries g surgical hospital right to the front. These are some of the things that the people of America are doing for the comfort and welfare of the boys over there by enrolling their names in the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call. The Red Cross button and the Red Cross Service Flag should everywhere be In evidence during the week of December 10th tn. the 23d as outward symbols of this alnjjnal rededication to Red Cross service.

RED CROSS SUNDAY

The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call week begins with a special Red Cross Sunday on December the fifteenth. From every pulpit throughout the country will be told the message of the American Red Cross. Special programs should be arranged in the Sunday Schools on this day. The Sunday School room should flame with Red Cross posters and emblems, and there should be prominently displayed both a Red Cross flag and a Red Cross Service flag. Teachers and pupils should carry home this Red Cross message to the members of their families and see to it that each one of these is wearing the Red Cross membership button before the week Is over. ■The Christmas spirit should express Itself in Red Cross service and sacrifice.

GERMAN PRISONERS REBUILD BELGIAN HOMES.

- German prisoners were used to construct homes for Belgian refugees In the village which the American Red jCross is constructing for families rendered homeless by the German invasion of Belgium. Many prisoners have been put to work In the fields of France in this section, harvesting wheat and other crops and thus lessening the burden on the women and very old men who have been operating the farms while their men are fighting at the 'front

RED CROSS TAKES HOME TO THE BOYS

The French soldiers have furloughs which they can spend at home. The English fighters go back to Blighty. But our boys have the ocean between them and home. They cannot come home on furlough, and it remains for the American Red Cross to try and take home to them. This is particularly true in regard to the convalescent liopies. Here all reversion to hospital life Is avoided. Books, games, music, social evenings and home-like surroundings help them to throw off the grim business of war until they are really able to recover. The housekeeper Is always a motherly woman, usually American, who looks after the comfort of her charges and helps them to pack up all imaginary troubles In the old kit bag. The American Red Cross now has six of these homes in operation.

AMERICAN GIRLS BRING CHEER TO WOUNDED.

“My wound hurts like h , but I don’t Intend to pass up this chance to talk to an American girl.” This sentiment, voiced by an American soldier, reflected the feelings' of many of his wounded comrades when they arrived In Paris after the recent Franco-American drive north of Verdun, according to reports just received by the American Red Cross from workers In Paris. These reports, testifying to the wonderfuP cheerfulness of the wounded men, say that many of them refused to continue their journey to the hospital until they had a chance to chat with the American women in charge of the canteens.

Experimental Red Cross Dairy.

The American. Red Cross has established an experimental dairy at one of the base hospitals In France. The French government has loaned 1,000 cows for this purpose and it Is expected enough milk will be produced to supply some 20,000 injured fighters flatly. For army doctors agree that fresh milk is vital in the speedy convalescence of the wounded men.

Work for the Refugees.

At Leghorn, Italy, there Is a little shoe factory, which is furnishing work for the refugee families who are under the protection of the American Red Cross. It is but a little factory, but it is providing work, which means salaries, food and clothing for more than two dozen families from Spreziano ev ery month.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

GERMAN RETREAT BRINGS NEW WORK FOR RED CROSS

In France the retreat of the German armies and the redemption of wide territory has produced a tremendous expansion of all Red Cross activities. The German retreat widens the systematic destruction not only of cities and villages, but of practically everything in the evacuated territory. It will be necessary to provide at once for the housing ofjiomeless refugees in the devastated/areas and In the temporary reconstruction of villages. It will be necessary to provide also clothing, cloth and dressmaking supplies, sewing machines, In addition to foodstuffs and medical supplies, throughout all {his territory With the coming’ again of winter, the fight against tuberculosis must be taken up with renewed energy. Seventysix tuberculosis hospitals have been completed and are in operation, but requisitions have been made for nine-ty-six provisional hospitals, all to be in operation before winter. The Red Cross has adopted as a slogan “to visit every baby In France.” It Is estimated that 80,000 French babies died last year, 40,000 of whom might have been saved. One of the Immediate objects of the Red Cross is to save those 40,000 babies In 1919.

Shoes for Belgian Children.

Faced with the fact that Belgian children are no different from any other in their ability»to wear out shoes, the American Red Cross, figuratively, has gone in the shoe manufacturing business at Limoges, France. It will endeavor to make shoes for all the children In the various colonies in France which it is maintaining.

The bolshevik officials for some weeks have been In a precarious position in the Russian capital and long have been prepared for flight. „ Discontent with bolshevik rul£ and the approach of the American and allied forces from the north, together with the opening of the Baltic to the allied fleets, has left Petrograd at the mercy of the allies.

New York, Dec. 17.—The bolsheviki are trying to raise an army of 3,000,000 to put down the conservative element in Russia, whom they term imperialists. Capt.

Captain Oustinoff said the government had forbidden citizens to leave the country, and he was able to depart only because he was classed as an invalid.

After the recent slaying of a minister of the interior, he asserted, the “reds” shot 512 officers of the former Imperial regime. Food is so scarce, the captain Said, that horseflesh sells for 10 rubles ($5) a pound and black bread for 12 rubles a loaf. Poland Asks Allied Aid. Warsaw, Dec. 17.—The government of Poland should be recognized by all the allied powers to deal with the situation in Poland, General Joseph Pilsudski, military head of the government, told tlie correspondent. He said: “We need an army to avoid the danger of civil war and guarantee the frontiers against bolshevik agents or the infiltration of German troops, particularly those from the army of General Hoffman. These factors constitute a menace unless we get arms from the allies.” “The Germans prevent our officers and troops, even in civil dress, from crossing the frontier and organizing the Poles at Vilna, Minsk and elsewhere against growing disorders. “The Germans are selling and giving arms to dangerous elements. It is even declared the Germans have delivered the City of Minsk to the bolshevik! in return for 40,000 rubles.”

Just a Little Smile

Mistake. 'An impetuous inspector who was visiting a provincial school was much worried by the noise of the scholars in the next room. At length, unable to bear the uproar any longer, he opened the door and burst upon the class. Seeing one boy taller than the others ' talking a great deal, he caught him by the collar, hustled him to the next room, and placed him in a chair, saying: “Now sit there and be quiet!” Ten minutes later a .small head appeared round the door and a meek little voice said: w “Please, sir, you’ve got our teacher!” Thorough Anyhow. Fair One— l hear your sister gave up manicuring to be a carpenter engaged in war wonk. The Kid—Yes, but she was so slow they fired her. Fair One—You don’t say? The Kid —She thought she had her old job and tried to manicure every nail. Bright Prospects. “An optimistic young man asked me the other day for permission to marry my daughter,” said Mr. Grabcoin. • “Yes?” ' “When I told him she spent ten thousand dollars a on clothes alone, he said he figured that her trousseau would last until he could work up to a salary of twelve or fifteen thousand dollars a year.” Place your “ Want Ad” in The Democrat and get results. /
