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.
