Red Cross Shortens War

And Relieves Suffering
Rather than mention plans and
discoveries announced at the Am
erican Congress of Surgeons held re
cently in Chicago, Dr. G. \V. Gabie,
the only Alaskan who attend the
gathering, and who contribute*
following article, has tonfimed him
self to information that will be
most Helpful to tho people of Ska#
w»y and that will in no way be
aiding the enemy.
"While on my way to the war
session of the Congress of Sur
geoais at Chicago I had the privi
lege of hearing Mr. Davidson,
chairman of the war council of the
Rsd Cross, also Mr. Gibson, the
general superintendent. The fol
lowing are some of the things learn
ed, and 1 would like the people of
Skagway to bear all these in mind.
"1. The Red Cross is carrying on
the greatest humanitarian work
the world ever knew.
"2. It is the one official organiza
tion recognized by the V. S. gov
ernment for relief of soldiers md
sailors.
"3. It shoulders the responsibili
ty of 'civilian relief' for the fami
called 'home service' and which in
lies of U. S. soldiers, which is
eludes the families of the Allies liv
ing' in the United States, i. e. the
British and Canadians who have left
for foreign service.
"4. It has fifty million members;
G7.000 chapters; 13 districts and
an expert man in charge of each
one.
4"5. The drive the beginning
of the war netted $102,000,000.
eighty million of which was collect
ed, and nine million returned to
the chaptere.
"6. Two thousand people are In
the active operation and they have
sent commitions to ever/ country.
1'KESENT NEEDS
"1. Three million surgical dress
ings oer mouth for an Indefinite
period, Und thirty million during the
next six months.
"2. There are over 5000 hospitals
in France. Ona doctor alone has
performed 10,000 operations and
lie had no chlorform and no anes
thetics, and never had enough iur
gical dressings.
"3. The Red Cross are feeding
over 5000 people per day in France,
with 20 American women In charge,
and have 400 motor ears and ma
chines in operation.
"4. The Red Cross spirit mobil
izes all women. Why? Because
.we are at war.
"a. me civilian popu.auou ui
Belgium end Northern France is
being repatriated at the rate of
1000 a week. Their hardships have,
been so acute that 30 percent of
the adults who return die during th
first six months, of exhaustion.
Six percent of the repatriates are
children between the ages of 4
and 12, thin, sickly, alone, and their
little claw like Jiands are sginifi
cant of their undernourished bod
ies. The Red Cros3 doctors »aid:
'If wo have them in time, a lew
weeks of proper feeding and they
will Dull up.4 i , I
SOME THINGS THE RED CROSS
DOES
"1. Helps to save the life of
every boy in every country.
"2. Snorten war. The Red Cross
has shipped over four million tons
of millr to the babies in France.

11.5. TO PROTEST
RUSSIA-HUN
Petrograd, Dec, 3.—Major Kerth,
American military attache, has been |
Instructed by Ambassador Francis of
Russia, to make a protest on the
part of the United States, simi
lar to that entered by the heads
of the Entente embassies here, to
negotiations for an armistice be
tween Russia and Germany.
The first conference regarding;
the Russia-German truce was held
Sunday at Bregt-Litovisk, the Ger
man neadquartera.
12 nurses. The Red Cross reach
es all over the world.
"4. The scope of the Red. Cross
is so universal that if a wounded
German, Austrian, or Turk should
fall within the lines of the Allies
he would feel the same soothing
touch and the same tender hand af
the Red Cross nurse and physician
as would ft fallen British, French,
American or other hero, who has
spent his last for the cause of his
country. The Red Cross will bind
his wounds with its cloth, will
rush bim to a hospital in its ambu
lance. and will give its best material
amd ability to nurse him back to
health, the same as it would do for
one of our own boys who has gone j
"over there."
ALL MUST HELP
"We must all unite and help In
this JTeat human!t<iria.n frork, We j
must give freely, cheerfully and of
ten. Some do not like to part with
their money. Well, they will give
it and they yill have the feeling
of having performed a patriotic du
ty that will make their life bigger |
and make them better citizens.
".The people Sa Europe who have
beau «t war for more than, three
years uow have changed. Acrimony
selfishness, and all other character
istics that go to make men small
and petty have vanished.
WE CAN AID THE LOCAL RED
CROSS
"In order to further help our lo
cal Red Cross here, who are in
sore need of finances, as shown
in their last report and appeal, the I
Bkagway Food Saving- committee |
would respectfully Buggest to the
people of Skagway that they unani
mously decide for this year it
least to pass by the ancient cus- |
torn 'if bestowing upon their fami
lies and friends the various gifts
they; have in mind, and revert the j
equivalent in cash to the aid and (
support of this paramount cause."
