Secondly, it enables America to hearten her Allies' fighting forces and to keep up, among the civilian populations, the spirit to win the war. That, alone, has made the American Red Cross one of the largest factors since our entry into the war. Canteens which provided food and hot drinks--more than a million mealstosoldiers in December; warehouses, crammed with materials, situated all along the French line all along the Italian lines, at seaports, and at places where our soldiers are going to fight; institutions for the care of consumptives, institutions for the re-education of maimed men---these are a few of the concrete accomplishments abroad.

Will you do your share to keep this Hand of Mercy at its work? EVERY CENT OF EVERY DOLLAR RECEIVED FOR THE RED CROSS WAR FUND GOES TO WAR RELIEF The American Red Cross is the largest and most efficient organization for the relief of suffering that the World has ever seen. It is made up almost entirely of volunteer workers, the higher executives being without exception men accustomed to large affairs, who are in almost all cases giving their services without pay. It is supported entirely by its membership fees and by voluntary contributions. It is today bringing relief to suffering humanity, both military and civil, in every War torn allied country. It plans tomorrow to help in the work of restoration throughout the world. It feeds and clothes entire populations in times of great calamity. It is there to help your soldier boy in his time of need. With its thousands of workers, its tremendous stores and smooth running transportation facilities it is serving as America's advance guard—and thus helping to win the war. Congress authorizes it. President Wilson heads it. The War Department audits its accounts. Your Army, your Navy and your Allies enthusiastically endorse it. Twenty-two million Americans have joined it.
