UK GUEATEST word In the voT eahulerly of the pr«ife*slonal medical officer Is sanitation. Sanitation means cleanlines*. And If order Is heaven's flnrt wish fiw the world, deanllnea# must certainly |>e It* second. In fart. If I wen- called upon to outline heaven's program for humanity I would place cleanliness first in the IL*t of human rcqulmueuts. That the world may be clenii: Tltar la the way I view the great task of the Bed Urosm worker* •if the world. Clean physhally. clean mentally, clean morally—I can tbluk of no more Inspiring or prurtlcal gospel for humanity than that. And the Bed Cross is it* evangelist. If such a service Is needed by the world In general, how much more Is It needed by an army In action: It Is a commonplace that our greatest enemy In this war was. not the Germans, but dirt. Never before have auldlers had to fight so mudt exposed to dirt and filth. And yet never has n great war been won with so little suffer Ing and death cruised .directly by this enveloping contagion. For this achievement—and there lias Is-cn no greater in the laic war In Eurot»e—we have to thunk must of all the American Bed

Cross.

The story of the cleansing Influence of the Bed Gross Workers In France Js too long for me to attempt to tell with any completeness. It has Itcen tin enterprise as vast ns the wnr Itself. From the licgtuuiug It has done thoM; things which the amir medical -corps wanted done hut could not do. Itself. Without the help of the American Bed Cross the army medical deiuirtment could not hav* done Us work. The work of the Bed Cross was ofti-n the theino of discussion nt American general headquarter* ai Chaumunt. I remember Hint It waa enlarged niion there In a conversation between General Ferahlng. Mr. H. I*, navlson. the dinlr Iran of the war council of the Amerh-an Bed Gross, and myself. We were spooking of the value of the service rendered by the millions of our women ami how they hel|>rd keep tlte influence of home about the boys at the front. And General IVrshlng Mid: “The women of the United States deserve a large share of the credit for the success of the American forces.” <>ur army officers have often admired not only tin spirit hut the efficiency of tlte American Red Cross organization. It provided nn Inexhuustlhlc store of supplies. It possessed a remarkable facility for adapting Itself to any emergency, however unexpected: and IU personnel always evinced the finest readiness for co-operation. The million* of surgical dressings, knitted article*, refugee garments, nnd other supplies It contributed— for these tilings alone It would have deserved the Briny's unstinted Praise.
