HARRISBURG afilfll TELEGRAPH RED CROSS HEAD HOW WAR WORK CARRIED ON HERE AND ABROAD Washington, Dec. 3. —On belialf of the War Council of ttye American lied Cross, appointed by President Wilson May 10, Henry P. Davison, chairman, today makes public the report to the American people on the present state of the War Fund and the work which is being done by the American Red Cross In this country and different parts of the world. The report, In part, is as follows: I To the American People: | The Red Cross War Council here : with reports on the work of the Red I Cross during the almost six months ; which have elapsed since Its appolnt ; ment by the President. Included herein are details as to collections on account of the Wai ; Fund and appropriations made from i the Fund, up to NovamheY 1. The growth of Red Cross actlvl : ties among the suffering civillar i popu'ntinrs in the 'lili-rent allied : countries is, up to this time, the out standing feature of Red Cross work lin this war. The magnitude of th ! work in France is particularly im pressive. Aims of the Rod Cross • Broadly speaking, the Red Crosf War Council has proceeded upon the I theory that the present work of the American Red Cross should contrlh- I ute to these great aims: 1. To lx ready to enre for out ' soldiers and sailors on duty where- I ever and whenever Hint care may In i needed. 2. To shorten the War—l)> tp"ninlip"l'iir '<e "•"mli l of !"■ n'- lied ix>pl's and their armies, by.nl- Icviatins their sufferings in the j>er j iod which must elapse until the | American Army can become fully effective abroad. 3. To lay foundations for an en during peace —by extending n mes sage of practical relief and sympa thy to the civilian population among our Allies, carrying to them the ex pression of the finest side of the American character. The American people have gener ously supported the work of the Red Cross, and this report of activity is given with great fullness in the liopc that through it the public may real ize both the obligation and the op portunity which the future presents. Responding to the Cry For Relief The American Red Cross is at tempting to respond to the most be seeching and far-reaching appeal ever made for mercy and relief. The American people are today the richest people in the world, th? richest in resources, richest in obli gations and In opportunities. The Red Cross aims to mobilize the hearts and souls of America toward binding up the wounds of a bleeding world. Up to date approximately SBB,- 000,000 in cash has been collected for the War Fund. The demands however, in Europe, are increasing with great rapidity and on the pres ent basis of expenditure the SIOO,- 000,009 War Fund cannot last mucli beyond spring. Moneys Appropriated Following the preliminary report recently made on the work in Europe of the American Red Cross, he War Council presents herewith a summary of the work of the Red Cross, both In the United States and in Europe, from May 10, 1917, to November 1, 1917. During this period the War Coun cil appropriated from the War Fund (including $7,659,000 advanced to chapters for purchase of material and to be returned to the War Fund), $10,969,216.60 for work in the United States, as contrasted with 4he appropriation of $27,885,816.68 for work abroad, of which $20,601,- 240.47 was for use in France. " There have been appropriated from funds restricted to specific pur poses $1,417,625.74. As $7,659,000 advanced by the War Counoil is to be returned to the War Fund, the net appropriations amount to $32,- 613.659.20. The total expenses of raising and collecting the War Fund are prov ing to be less than one per cent. The War Fund is deposited locally by the chapters* and campaign committees. About 3,500 banks now hold the.io deposits, in the name of William G. McAdoo, Treasurer. Rase Hospital Units Equipped Forty-nie Army base hospital units and five for the Navy have been recruited, organized and equipped by the Red Cross. More than twelve of the Army units and two of the Navy units have now been mustered into their respective Medical Corps and are seeing ser vice. These units can care for a 500-bed hospital each, and some of them have been reinforced to enable them to take over larger hospiais. The Red Cross has also organized 45 ambulance companies, with a to tal personnel of 5,580, all of which have been taken into the Army Med ical Corps, some for service abroad, others for the camps and canton ments. A General Hospital, for the use of the Navy, has been established at Philadelphia. Convalescent homes have been built at Fort Ogle thorpe and Fort McPherson, Geor gia, and mobile laboratory cars are to be provided for use in case of emergencies At the camps. The Red Cross Sanitary Service Through its Sanitary Service, the Red Cross is co-operating with local health authorities in maintaining the best possible sanitary conditions In the zonp just outside military lur-i isdiction at the training camps an:l cantonments. Twenty sanitary units, have been organized for this pur- , pose. The Red Cross has placed field di-, rectors of Camp Service at thirty- 1 eight camps, cantonments and naval| stations. The purpose of the Camp Service is to co-operate with all the' agencies that are advancing the wel fare of the enlisted men. The Red Cross has continued Its work of disaster relief during the war. and has rendered aid in 64; calamities. Recently a call for'help! for flood victims in Tlen-tsin was! answered by the dispatch of a relief, expert to the city, and the sending; of $125,000. Fourteen thousand Red Cross' nurses havn been e*"r.""d >*o" lutv. ] and approximately 3,000 have al ready been called into active service, l of whom 2,000 are working abroad. | A program for increasing the re serve of fully trained nurses for war service has been adopted, in concert j with the Committee on Nursing of| the Council of National Defense and other nursing authorities. What the Women Are Doinv l Millions of have been; mobilizing for work on surgical dressings, hospital garments, refugee | clothing, knitting garments, and comfort kits. It is estimated that the value of their work during the; next twelve months will amount to! nearly $40,000,000. Since April 1. 1917. the Red Cross has sent abroad 13,336 cases of sur gical dressings, hospital supplies and clothing, containing approximately 13,000.000 separate articles. The Red Cross has promised to send 3,- 000.000 surgical dressings to France every month for the next six months. Home Care of the Sick Courses of instruction fn elemen tary hygiene and home care of the sick, home dietetics, and first aid have been given throughout the United States. More than 34,000 women have completed the first of these courses, and 75,000 certificates of proficiency in first aid have been i issued during the past year alone. This work In the United States ; has been directed from National headquarters by u completely reor ganized administration. Under the 1 direction of the War Council, a Ben oral manager. Harvey D. Gibson, president o"T the Liberty National i Hank, has been given general charge f jof the work in this country. He has ; delegated the direct oversight of the; I chapters, of which there are now; i 3,287, to division managers. The Rod Cross Salary I,lst | At National Headquarters in, | Washington a staff has been built I up which included, on November 1.1 i 1917, sixty-three officials, most of i them ln'stnessinert and 'ome" of I ! great experience in large affairs • | who are w.orking without payment | of either salary or living expenses, j j Numerous others are either giving | their time or are working for liom | inal pay. The membership hasj i grown.' since the war. from about ! 200,000 to more than 5,000,000. The: ' salary list has been reduced since] | last July Trom about 700 to about; | 425. Salaries have decreased also !in average amount. Had the Red Cross been obliged to pay salaries i to all the heads of departments at j National Headquarters the present I organization would have been impos- j slble. I Appropriations in tin- V. S. The direct appropriations from | the war fund war work in the) United States are divided as follows: , | Hospitals, etc $ 603,500.001 Sanitary service 184,500.00 j Camp service, etc 2,528,729.00 j | Miscellaneous 93,487.60 f $3,310,216.00 The Work in Europe The work of the Red Cross in j Europe centers'necessarily in France j and Major Grayson M.-P. Murphy, a l member of the War Council, is head i .of the Commission to France and I Commissioner for Europe. Head-: i quarters are in Paris, in a building) ! furnished free for the current yearj ! for the use of the Red Cross. The | working staff in France numbers st>4 persons, of whom only 347 are paid by the Red Cross. The others are volunteers, or are paid by their former employers or~from funds pri- I vately subscribed, so that the aver j age cost to the Red Cross is only i about S3OO per year for each worker. Rod Cross Aims Abroad The principal purposes of the work of the American Red Cross : abroad may be summarized thvis: 1. To do evVrything possible to assist our Army and Navy In insuring the health and comfort of American | soldiers and sailors abroad, and 2. To relieve suffering among the I armies and destitution amor.g the , civilian populations among our Al- I lies. The establishment and mainte | nance in France of canteens, rest I houses, recreation huts, and other i means of supplying comforts in the 1 armies of our Allies have been the i means of heartening them aud keep ' ing their men in the field until our ' men could fully effective. The details which follow here are | supplemental to those given in the j report issued in September. Our Army our First Care Work for the American Army is | the first and most important part of j the Red Cross program in France. J More than twelve base hospitals or | ganized by the Red Cross, and now i mustered into the Army Medical j Corps are in service in France. The Red Cross is also administering, under Army control, the hospital at Neuilly formerly known as the American Ambulance, together with I Dr. Joseph A. Blake's hospital in | Paris. The Red Cross is serving 3,433 mil j itary hospitals, both French and j American, though the Hospital Sup ! ply Service, which operates sixteen ; warehouses and a motor transport i system. Approximately 15,000 tons of material —hospital and gefieral ] relief supplies are distributed ! monthly from these warehouses. The Surgical Dressings Service reaches 2,000 hospitals.

An Engine That Digests Low-Gracte Gas and Makes High Power Out of It The thing about the great Chalmers engine that counts is the fact that it actually digests the gas fed to it (and low-grade gas especially). Everyone knows now that the grade of gasoline is on the decline, and that probably high-grade gas, or even the gas of a year ago, will never come back. And like a man who has been on a high-grade diet and is suddenly given a low-grade diet, many engines in automobiles now have gasoline indigestion. The Chalmers engine digests gas probably as no engine ever before has done. It makes high power out of low-grade gas. • It makes gasoline work harder than gasoline ever worked before. Anyone who knows anything about an engine knows that the everlasting riddle has been to get the gas in just exactly a 100% condition of vapor in the combustion chamber before ignition. The great Chalmers engine has accomplished this, so far as any engine probably ever will be able to do, . by means of two clever devices. One is a "hot spot" feature which heats and "breaks up" the gas.after it leaves the carburetor and before it gets to the intake manifold. The other is the "ram s horn" manifold that, by means of its "easy air bends," sends the gas to the combustion chamber well-nigh perfect. \ * Hence, more power out of less gas. On a cold day remarkably quick results in starting are obtained. No longer a 10-minute fight with your engine. And as soon as the Chalmers engine starts it runs smoothly and delivers power quickly. Often cars take ten minutes of running to "warm them up." But not so with the current Chalmers. And if you weren't a shrewd judge of an automo- . bile, you might overlook some of the other notable features of the current Chalmers, so great has become, the achievements of its engine. Go down to our salesroom and let us show you the great Chalmers engine and the perfection of the current Chalmers. • TOURING CAR, 7-PASSENGER $1535 TOURING SEDAN - - - $1950 TOWN CAR LANDAULET TOURING CAR, 5-PASSENGER $1485 CABRIOLET, 3-PASSENGERSI77S LIMOUSINE, 7-PASSENGER *2921 % STANDARD ROADSTER - - $1485 TOWN CAR, 7-PASSENGER $2925 LIMOUSINE LANDAULET #JO2I ALL PRICES F.
