Annual meetings of the 3,854 chap- ters of the Red Cross were held October 23. The War Council of the organization sent the following message, covering the work for the past year: To the Chapters of the American Red Cross : The War Council sends greetings to the chapters of the American Red Cross on the occasion of their annual meetings for 1918. With these greetings go congratulations on the great work of the chapters during the past year and, above all things, on the wonderful spirit of sacrifice and patriotism which has pervaded that work. The strength of the Red Cross rests upon Its chapters. They are Its bone and sinew. They supply its funds, they supply its men and women, they supply its enthusiasm. Let us, then, W. N. U., Salt Lake City, No. review together the Red Cross story of the past year. " The Art of Kindness.

'Thereto Reason These articles were largely the product of womens hands, and, by the same token, Infinitely more precious than could have been the output of factories or machines. These articles going to the operating room of the hospitals, to homeless or needy refugees, and carrying comfort to our own boys In the field, convey a message of love from the women of this country entirely distinct from the great money value attaching to their handiwork. Money 8pent in Work. By the terms under which the first Red Cross war. fund was raised, the chapters were entitled to retain 25 per cent of the amount collected, in order defray local expenses, to carry on their home service work, to purchase materials to be utilized in chapter production and otherwise to meet the numerous calls made upon them. The chapters were thus entitled to retain nearly $29,000,000. As a matter of fact, their actual retentions amounted to only about $22,000,000. Out of collections from annual memberships, the chapters have retained about $11,000,000. From this total sum, therefore, of retained by the chapters, they have met all the oftentimes very heavy local demands upon them, and In addition have provided for use by national headquarters products valued, as stated above, at upwards of $44,000,-00-- $33,-000,0- 0. The chapters have In effect returned to the War Council, not alone the retained ont of the war fund membership dues hut, In value of actual product, an additional contribu $33,-000,0- . tion of at least $11,000,000. It will thus been seen that during the eighteen months which have elapsed since the United States entered the war, the American people will have either paid In or pledged to the American Red Cross for its work of relief throughout the world, in money or in material values, a net total of at least $325,000,000. Revealed Americas Heart. It has been because of this spirit which has pervaded all American Red Cross effort In this war tlmt the aged governor of one of the stricken and battered provinces of France stated not long since that, though France had long known of Americas greutness, strength and enterprise, it remained for the American Red Cross In this war to reveal Americas heart. In this country, at this moment, the workers of the Red Cross, through Its chapters, are helping to add to the comfort and health of the millions of our soldiers in 102 camps and cantonments, as well as of those traveling on railroad trains or embarking on ships for duty overseas. The home service of the Red Cross, with its now mere than 40,000 workers, Is extending its ministrations of sympathy and counsel each month to upwards of 100,000 families left behind by soldiers at the front a numbei ever growing with the increase of our men under arms. But, of course, the heart of the Red Cross and its money and attention always move toward and focus themselves In Europe where the American Red Cross, as truly "the greatest mother in the world, Is seeking to draw a vast net of mercy through an ocean of unspeakable pain. Red Cross Worth Recognized. Nothing is withheld that can be given over there to supplement the efforts of our army and navy in caring for our own boys. The Red Cross does not pretend to do the work of the medical corps of the army or the navy ; Us purpose is to help and to supplement. Nor does the Red Cross seek to glorify what it does or those who do It; our satisfaction Is In the result, which, we are assured by Secretary Baker, General Pershing, General Ireland and all our leaders, is of Inestimable value and of indispensable Importance. By the first of January your Red Cross will have working in France up-- , wards of 5,000 Americans a vivid contrast to the little group of eighteen men and women which, as the first Red Cross commission tp France, sailed about June 1, 1911 tolnltlate our efforts In Europe. Your Red Cross now has active, operating commissions ill France, In England, In Italy, in Belgium, In Switzerland, In Palestine and In Greece. You have sent a shipload of relief supplies and a group of devoted workers to northern Russia ; you have dispatched a commission to work behind our armies in eastern Siberia; you have sent special representatives to Denmark, to Serbia and to the island of Madeira.' Carries Message of Hope. Your Red Cross is thus extending relief to the armies and navies of our allies ; and you are carrying a practical message of hope and relief to the friendly peoples of afflicted Europe and Asia. , Indeed, we are told by those best Informed In the countries of our allies that the efforts of your Red Cross to aid the soldiers and to sustain the morale of the civilian populations left at home, especially In France and Italy, have constituted a very real factor In winning the war. The veil has already begun to lift. What the Red Cross may be called upon to do In the further course of the war, or with the coming of victory, peace and reconstruction, It would be idle to attempt to prophesy. But your great organization, in very truth "the mobilized heart and spirit of the whole American people, has shown itself equal to any call, ready to respond to any emergency. Spirit of All Best and Highest. The American Red Cross has become not so much an organization as a great movement, seeking to embody In organized form the spirit of service, the spirit of sacrifice In short, all thatas-Is best and highest in the Ideals and pirations of our country. Indeed we cannot but believe that this wonderful spirit which service in and for the Red Cross has evoked in this war, is destined to become in our national life an element of permanent value. At Christmas time we shall ask the whole American people to answer the Red Cross Chrlstmns roll call. It will constitute a unique appeal to every mnn, woman and child in this great land of ours to become enrolled In our army of mercy. It Is the hope of the War Council that this Chrlstmns membership roll call shall constitute a reconsecration of the whole American people, an inspiring reassertlon to mankind that in this hour of world tragedy, not to conquer but to serve is Americas supreme aim.
