WHAT WILL YOl
HERE ARE
Red Cross Work In Sou
And Oth
Atlanta, Ga., Oct.?The man or
woman who gives a dollar for membership
in the American Red Cross
when the Fourth Roll Call is held
from November 11 to November 25,
will want to know, among other things,
what that dollar will help to do in
the southern division, of which his
chapter is a part.
Fifty cents of the dollar is retained
by the chapter, for chapter work. The
other fifty cents goes to the national
headquarters in Washington, to keep
up the national work of the Red Cross.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note inai me nea tjross iasi year spem
more in the south than it received
from the south in money for memberships.
The budget for next year contemplates
a similar program in the
south.The
southern division of the Red
Cross consists of the states of North
and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia
and Florida. Headquarters of the
division at Atlanta, in order to show
Just how the money given the Red
Cross is spent in the south, has prepared
a detailed statement, showing
one month's activities in the division. 1
This month is typical of Red Cross
work in the southern division. From
the summary of its activities, Red
Cross members may gain a concrete
illustration of the work their membership
fees will help to keep going
through the coming year.
During this month the Red Cross
had sixty-one nursing services operat- 1
log in various parts of the division, <
employing a total of seventy four 1
nurses. Four new services were es- 1
tablished by chapters during the
month, one service was reopened, five 1
were withdrawn, and* in addition, the i
Red Cross placed one nurse, paying i
her salary, with another organization
that had started health work in that 1
particular community. That is the policy
of the Red Cross?to . do health <
work where it is most needed, and, <
where others are doing the same work,
not to compete with them, but to help
them as far as possible.
The nursing department of the Red
Cross has a bureau called the bureau i
of instruction, engaged in promoting
health work. This bureau organized
fourteen classes in Home Hygiene and
Care of the Sick during the month, i
t Altogether, thirty-five classes in this <
subject were in operation in the division
during the month; two hundred 1
and fifty-two new students were enrolled
and one hundred and seventy .<

The bureau of dietetics, through re
which classes are organized to teach ci
\?omen and girls the right sort of food
to cook and serve to make good li?
health, carried on Instruction work, ti
during the month at such places ai
as Converse College at Spar- re
tanburg, S. C., the West Tennessee tc
State Normal School and Winthrop sc
College in North Carolina. The bu- th
reau reported the appointment of a R
city dietitian at Nashville, Tenn., 01
where the Red Cross Chapter set tl
aside $2,000 fof her salary and $500 sc
for incidental expenses in connection pi
with nutrition work. The bureau, in .
co-operation with other divisions, put cc
on an exhibit in health at the Tri- ai
State fair at Memphis, Tenn. ui
While such work as this was being
done in the field of health by the Red m
Cross, it was equally active in its work er
for returned soldiers and their families c8
and similar work for civilian families se
In like need of help. The Red Cross
had 2;081 new cases of this sort dur- g(
ing the month, and reopened 1,580 old H
cases, a total of 3,661 cases. An idea
of the number of soldiers and civilians c8
helped in the different states may be j0
gained from the following report for
the month:
Georgia, 1,006 soldiers' families aided,
65 civilian families aided; Florida,
1,941 soldiers' families aided and 570 ?
civilian families aided; North CaroUna,
1,062 soldiers' families aided and co
68 civilian families aided; South Car- eT
ollna, 1,431 soldiers' families aided, 241 J*
civilian families aided; Tennessee, 1,093
soldiers' families'alded and 44 cl- m
vilian families aided. \ A total of $3,- ei
691 in financial aid was extended to 80
Boldiers' families, and $1,230 to civil- *
Ian families. ,
First aid was taught by the Red
Cross durhur the month in classes at
the Middle Tennessee Normal and In- P*

the Asheville Summer school at Ashe- ^

The Red Cross did no disaster re?f
work during the month in queson,
as no disasters occurred, but, at
ly tinue the Red Cross Is ready to
spond to cities stricken by fire, flood*
trnado or pestilence. Because the
:hools were closed during this month,
lere were no activities of the Junior
ed Cross to report, but with the
jening.of the schools in September,
lousands qf children throughout the
>Utheast joined in various helpful
ans of the Junior Red Cross.
With all of this work, the Red Cross
mtinued to carry on its first dutyt
id its responsibility to the man in
liform.
During the month the Red Cross
aintained adequate forces of work's
at twelve different army posts,
imps and hospitals in the division,
irving a total of 13,752 men, of whom
)0 or more were patients in two
sneral army hospitals. In addition,
ome Service, as it is called, was
ven to 1,148 new cases, 642 closed
ises and 4,071 other cases where inrmation
of all sorts in regard to pay,
iberty bonds, insurance and the like
as lurniaueu.
One of the most potent influences at
;e8e posts was the "home influence"
the Red Cross. The men were enmraggd
to write letters home, station7
was provided, and, where a man
as illiterate, the Red Cross wrote
s letters for fcim. The boys were
ade to feel that the Red Cross worka
were their friends, that they had
>me one to go to, some one who felt
sympathetic Interest in their welre.
The Red Cross also did work at
x United States public health hostals
in the southern division, and
xved United States public health serce
patients at eight other hospitals
which they were inmates. Betides
Lome service," the Red Cross gave
em recreation, distributed necessary
ipplies and developed the local forest

RANCE HAS CROSSED
THE PASSAGE FROM x
WAR TO PEACE
Paris, Nov. 9.?France has shown
le same arder in her work of rejnstruction
as she did in the war,
nd has successfully crossed the pasige
from war to peace, which is
l;ways difficult for victors, says Prelier
Leygues in an interview printel
today by the Petit Parisien. Disussing
his foreign policy, the prelier
declares the government will
eek to maintain and strengthen its
lliances, and will examine in utlost
sincerity of spirit all questions
rising between France and Gerlany.
Belief is expressed by M. Leygues
hat th? League of Nations must beome
a great force nad a strong barier
against a return of imperialism
nd militarism. H? declares the govrnment's
program is so to enforce
xecution of the Versailles treaty j
hat national reconstitution and the;
rganization of work and production
nay be advanced.
