500 every morning! 500 every afternoon! Broken old men, sick old women and starving little children, mostly orphans. Thus do the refugees come through the little French border town of Evian, back from the Prussian-blasted districts of Northern France. Useless to the slave-driving Huns are these wrecks of humanity but to France they are just another burden of war. Do you sense the "charity" of Kultur? The "Orphans of Evian"! Poor little kiddies! So thin, so lonely, so frightened after nearly four years under their German military masters. But wait, Red Cross nurses will take them in charge; your Red Gross our own noble American women! Yet even from them the children shrink away filled with the old terror of Prussianism. And

then the wonderful thing happens. Some-body says to them in French "La Croix J&ouge TAmerique!". The American; Red Cross! What a transformation ! They weep with joy, for all have heard of 'the good ladies of the Red Cross. The children are washed, clothed,fed, doctored and then sent into France, shrilly crying as the trains pull out, "Vive V Amerique! Vive la Croix Rouge!" And that's only orWof the many things your Red Cross dollars are doing. Now isn't that a glorious use for just hard cold dollars! Millions of loyal Americans will pledge a part of each month's earnings during June, July, August and September.
