The Red Cross musters its forces for the third year. No armistice has existed for that organization; no formal peace will halt its work overseas. On behalf of the people it has pledged millions of dollars toward rebuilding the devastated regions. Through fifty departments it still protects the war unfortunates of France and Italy.
