That the American Red Cross, the humanitarian organization that helps in the relief of suffering everywhere on the global war, has helped many Camp Stoneman soldiers sol-diers over the "rough spots" during dur-ing the last year is revealed in a report issued by Mr. Gustavc N. Olson field director. During the last year approximately approxi-mately 13,000 Camp Stoneman sol-deirs sol-deirs visited the Red Cross office with their personal problems. Ten thousand of .that number were rendered case work requiring considerable con-siderable time, and the remaining 3,000 were handled on a brief serv-vice serv-vice basis. The Red Cross made 2,855 loans to soldiers here during the year, totaling about S120.000. They furnished thirty day rooms at Sta- tlon Hospital and a half dozen throughout the camp proper.
