THE PANOLA Wi
l« Carthage, Texas
Rihgtes Jaa Freaeh Roadways
la Tragic Flight Frew War Zcae;
Roads Hoarly Grow More Acite
WASHINGTON, D. C.—As long
lines of refugees Jammed the road-
brays or northwestern FVance, flee-
ing from the battle tones, the Amer-
ican Red Cross set up headquarters
in Paris and mobilised hundreds or
American cltisens Ihring In Prance
for volunteer relief work, according
to cable advices received here by
Chairman Norman H. Davis.
Headquarers were established by
Wayne Chatfield-TVytor, American
Red Cross war relief delegate, who
was ordered to Paris from Geneva
(when the war front swept through
the Low Countries toward Prance.
Nelson Dean Jay, New York and
Paris banker, has been named dele-
gate of the American Red Cross to
Prance and is proceeding immediately
by trans-Atlantic clipper plane to
take over the Paris office Bernard 8.
Carter, who is now in Paris, has
been named associtte delegate to Mr.
Jay.
Reports reaching the Red Cross
carried tragic word of the exodus of
thousands of refugees from their
homes. Great hordes of belgians have
crossed the border to Join throngs
of French women, children and aged
men In flight to safety.
" We are literally overwhelmed by
the influx of women- and children
refugees in pitiful condition,” one
of the cables read. "We have urgent
need for ambulances and other re-
lief supplies. Can you help usT”
Moving swiftly in the early hours
that followed the Invasion of the
Netherlands, the American Red Cross
made emergency expenditures of
$850,000 for relief supplies and ambu-
lances to aid Red Cross societies of
the affected nations. Chairman Davis
said. Included were the purchase of
full equipment- for ten 100-bed hos-
pitals. 250 ambulances and field
trucks, $30,000 worth of surgical in-
struments and drugs and hospital sup-
plies sufficent for hundred 100-bed
hospitals for three months.
Meanwhile, heavy response to the
American Red Cross appeal for war
relief fund of $10,000,000 was re-
ported by Chairman Davis. Over the
week-end reports carried word that
ecores of cities were "going over the
top” in seeking their quotas.
"It Is an incouraging note in a
world of chaos that America is pro-
viding it practical way toword aid-
tag the innocent peoples who have
been compelled to endure the agonies
of war,” Mr. Davis sahl. "The vic-
tims today are suffering indescrib-
able need. Their homes are being des-
troyed; their crops ruined. In being
forced to the tragic status of refu-
gees they have lost all means of
livelihood and have become depend-
ent upon the sympathy of the world
for existence. We of America should
give generously and promptly in do-
ing our share.”
War-Torn Nations
Cable U. S. Thanks
WASHINGTON. D C.—Prompt ac-
tion of the American Red Croas tn
speeding relief supplies to the scene
of the spreading European war has
resulted tn a steady flow of cables
and letters of gratitude from Red
Croas societies, royalty and govern-
ment officials of the war-stricken
nations.
Primes* Puliana. president of the
Netherlands Red Cross who fled to
England with her two small children,
cabled her personal thanks for an al-
location of $100,000 designate! for
the purpose of relief supplies.
“Princess Juliana, as head of the
Netherlands Red Cross, desires to
thank the American Red Cross for
its efficient help and moral support,"
the cable read. "The promise of 60
ambulances is especially warmly ap-
preciated. The Dutch Red Cross Is in
great need also of all supplies needed
for the operation of a field hospital.”
From the Belgian Red Cross came
a cable of "profound gratitude" which
followed a similar grant of $100,000
for relief work in that nution. The
message read:
■fThe entire Belgian population
will be deeply touched by this ges-
ture so generous and spontaneous
and it will appreciate once more the
humanitarian sentiments of the Amer-
ican nation.”
At national headquarters here dip-
lomats of the war-affected nations
called on Chairman Norman H. Davis
to extend thanks of their people for
American Red Cross assistance. Count
Robert van der Straten-Ponthox, am-
bassador of Belgium, accompanied by
Georges Theunis, ambassador-at-lurge.
called on Chairman Davis. Their visit
was followed by that of Wilhelm
Miinlhe Je Morgenstierne. minister
of Norway, who discussed with the
chairman the difficult situation con-
fronting his countrymen and possible
ways of getting relief from the Amer-
ican Red Cross to them.
A letter of warmest appreciation
for the gift of medical supplies, em-
'ergency operating theaters, garments
for exacuee children and a quantity
I of surgical dressings was received
'from Walter Elliott, minister of
> health in England,
i Through Chairmau Davis he sent
! thanks for the “thousands of un-
j known workers in the United States
' of America who have sent us such
acceptable help for our civilian hos-
| pituls and for the poorest of our
'-•population.” He added that ”Thou-
1 sands of people in the country will
have cause to bless the generosity
and foresight of the workers of the
American Red Cross.'

• For the first time since the tragic
dftjrs of the World War the American
people are being asked to contribute
to a Red Cross war relief fund. A
minium of $10,000,000 is being sought
throughout the country to alleviate
the suffering of Europe’s lunoceui
victims of war.
As one of the few remaining na
lions enjoying peace and security In
a world of chaos, the Uuited States
le in a position to extend a strong
hand of sympathy. And if we are- to
cope with distress that grows hourly,
this must be Uoue both swiftly ami
generously. Each 'fresh movement ot
troops lengthens the shadow of ter-
ror. hunger, orphanhood and home-
lessness.
Fortunately, mercy Is of a flexible
nature. Unlike other forms of human
expression it cau he translated Into
effective action by dollar* and cents.
Those whose home* lie In the path
ot marching armies are In need of
purchasable succor—the simple nec-
essities of food, clothing and medical
treatment.
The American Red Cross la the
logical channel through which the
people of this country should express
their concern for the plight of women,
children and aged in Europe'* war
sones. Through the prompt anj ef-
ficient manner in which the
Cross has met the great di-asters
made by tnun ami nature. It* emblem
has become the symbol of mercy. At
home we have seen its great army
of volunteers working tirelessly at
the scene of flood, tornado---meeting
contstantly the challenge of destruc-
tion and human want.
Already the American lied Cross
has spent $1,500,000 for the relief of
Europe's suffering. In doing so, it
has received $800,000 In spontaneous
contributions; the balance has been
taken from Its reserve funds. In addi-
tion.chapter volunteers have produc-
ed ahalt million articles of clothing
and more than two million surgical
dressings.
With the invasion of new countries,
overwhelming needs are iicing re-
ported dally. They are manifest rea-
sons why a general appeal must he
made to the nation. It is a challenge
promptly and generously.
