IN progress. All day long the contri-

be sent to the Minnesota regiments.

pone sending the supplies to the Thir-
teenth until Monday morning.
The & o was yesterday requested
10 make an urgent appeal to the women
OF st. Paul to assist in completing the
bands and bandages today. If 10(
women would come In and put in q
halr day Or even a few hours much
would be accomplished.
The regimental physicians, before
leaving with their regiments. strongly
urged the ladies to do all in their power
TO make enough Of the abdominal bands
to go around. as they were almost in
dispensible in a malarial climate. Act
Ing In accordance with this the women
nave taxed every. resource to secure
enough for each man in the regiment
but up to last night only $50 had been
made. 1t is with a view to completing
as many as possible before the ship
