THE RED CROSS LEAGUE

The temporary organisation at San

league should mark the beginning Of
active, continuous work in Los Angeles
and Southern California generally. A
Los Angeles lady. Mrs. J. M. Grifiath, was
made a member of the state provisional
council, and doubtless we shall soon have
information as to the specific needs of the
league. ana the particular lines along
which the work Is to be done.
To the state at large the duty Of pro-
viding hospital ship, properly equipped.
has already been assigned. 1t is pre-
sumed that the several branches will be
expected to look after the local work In
their respective cities. That there 10
large field Cor operation has already been
shown. Here in Los Angeles the people
are coming to realizing sense Of the sit
uation, and local Red Cross league will
undoubtedly find generous support.
The Red Cross league does not wait ur-
til after battles are fought to assist and
prove its usefulness. Chaplain Clark OF
the Seventh regiment has shown that
great opportunities already lie before
such an organisation at the Preside,
and these will grow as time passes.
The people OF Los Angeles should make
this city the banner Red Cross town OF
the state.
