RED CROSS CIVILIAN
RELIEF LARGE PROGRAM
Camp Greene Red Cross Workers
Active in Behalf Soldiers
and Relatives?Other Notes.
Mr. Lanoing Harvey, field director,
in charge of the general activities of
the Red Cross here, has Just returned
from a trip to Wilkesbarre, Philadelphia
and Washington, at tyhich places
he combined social pleasures with
Red Cross business. ^
Mr. J. E. Branch, associate field
director, who Is in charge of the civilian
relief department of the Red
Cross here, was one of the speakers
at the Casual camp last Tuesday eve- I
nlng. The messages were freighted ,
with the privileges and duties of citizenship
and army life. Mr. Branch j
told of what the Red Cross is prepared
to do for the men's families. I
He also spoke at the big dinner given [
by Battery A, Thirteenth F. A.
Mr. Harvey has offered to obtain j
the materials for the building and
equipmeht of two tennis courts at the j
base hospital. Lieutenant Wagner, |
Q. M. C.. at the base, will furnish the
men to build the courtfe. The officers;
and nurses at the base feel that the
j Red Cross Is an indispensable institution
and that Mr. Harvey is a splen
did representative oi mo i?uv..-n.-v
organization. Mr. Harvey has recel^-r
ed from Washington preliminary
plans for the convalescent home that
is to be built at the base. The Red
Cross will not only put up this home,
but will appoint an associate director,
who will give his attention exclusively
to the sick.
The department of civilian relief
has been instructed to care for the
soldiers' families while the men are
In service, and where it is found that
any kind of need exists. It will give
Mr. Branch pleasure to have the ofllcers
send men to him with their
family troubles. These troubles may
run from the extreme of a lost Persian
rug, (which was an actual case),
that the Red Cross was asked to find,
up to putting shoes on the children's
|feet and bread in their mouths, (whieh
| was another true case). If the soldiers
are worried over debt, or rents,
I or illrress, or whatever it may be
I back home, advise them, to "tell their
troubles" to the American Red Cross
and it will "sew them up in the old
kit bag and make the men to smile,
smile, smile." The ear of the Red
Cross is always open; its patience is
I not easily frazzled; it's money is the
; multiplied purses of 100,000,000
Americans; and Its machinery (with
a heart), is the chapters in almost
every hamlet, town and city in America.

THIRD DIVISION
PROVISIONAL SUPPLY CO.
All is well with the supply company.
Recently we were out drilling,
and the first sergeant gave us ' squads
left." When the smoke cleared away
the whole supply company was out of
formation.
If the bread agent in our mess hall
had a bear skin for a robe he would
pass for a bear himself.
First Seargeant Thompson was
recently the subject of c omment
?c?piroin?e hainc halrl headed.
He jokingly replied that he didn't
have much hair to comb. Then some
one said, "yes, but you have a whole
lot of face to wash."
"Halt, who goes there?"
O. D. "Gosh,-1 thought you was relief."

The boys got paid, and on pay days
thev hardly every blow "chow."
