RED CROSS CALLS FOR SUPPORT

"Harvard men have taken the lead for the last two years in the reorganization and enlargement of the Red Cross," said Eliot Wadsworth '98, vice-chairman of the National Red Cross and a member of the University Board of Overseers, when interviewed last night by a CRIMSON representative. "The University mustn't by any chance let another college get ahead of it in the present drive to support the Red Cross, and in supporting that organization in every way and keeping its work going at top pitch."

Mr. Wadsworth, who has just returned from a four-months' expedition to the warring countries on behalf of the Red Cross, spoke at a meeting in Brattle Hall last evening. He took up successively the work which his organization is doing in Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and France. He told of the great warehouse which has been established in Switzerland to supply adequately all the American prisoners in Germany with food and clothing.

The Reverend Hugh Birckhead, prominent in Red Cross work abroad, also spoke at the meeting on the spirit of France.
