East seven nationali.

gast seven nationali-
 in working for the
 FNew Britain, according
 III the work of the Wom-
 Relief committee made to-
 Is. F. H. Churchill the
 . as follows:
 Woman's War Relief com
 of the local Red Cross chapter
 to express their hearty appre-
 ton of the prompt and generous
 Bponse to their appeal for help. Memberships have been received, some money for the special further 1 ance of Woman's work given, sewing 1 done and boxes packed with the en- 1 thusiasm which recognizes no racial !. prejudice or differences of opinion. In this humane and neutral work women of at least seven nationalities have happily united-and the end is not yet. for much remains to be done. All ladies willing to cut out gar ments, to sew or to knit are earnestly invited to come to the Red Cross rooms (any day except Sundays and Holidays) 309-310 National Bank building between the hours of two and five, and also on Saturday eve nings between seven and nine.
 The rooms are frequently open in the morning, but no pledge is made that they will be open then.
 The following list of articles, al- ready forwarded to the Red Cross, Care Brish Terminal Co.,, Brooklyn, N. Y., may be of interest to those who have worked so diligently to make some contribution to the sad need of the warning nations:
 75 white hospital shirts, 2 Grey hospital shirts, 27 grey day shirts, 20 pajama suits GAO pieces). 32 abdom- inal bands (straight,) 27 abdominal bands (shaped), 27 nightingales, 22 bed jackets, 5S pair of hospital shoes, knitted bands. knitted mufflers, 14 pair wristlets, A helmets, con- valescent robe, 33 arm slings, 21 tr1- angle bandages, 60 packages gauge sponges (S in each), 10 split banda ges, rolled bandages, A utility bags, 1 paper cups 6 boxes, 1000 in eachl, | paper towels Gone box), 3 cakes ivory l soap, 21 packages gauge handker- chiefs (12 in. each.)
 Many women, as an expression of 1 gratitude that their own husbands, 1 sons, and brothers were not involved l in bloody conflict, have done this Red | Cross work heartily and promptly.
 The necessity for packing all arti- 1 cles-as far as possible-in labelled | packages of half dozen or dozen each | naturally limits somewhat the amount ! which can be crowded into box, but l every effort has been made to con- dense the things and so save express or freight charges.
 The small proportion of bandages sent is due to the fact that it has been impossible, owing to the unu-ual demand for them, to get bandage winders, but the manufacturer prom ises them soon.
 A large number of articles already and others which will be done by Friday, will be packed on Saturday of this week. The utility bags, 5000 paper drinking cups. paper towels and a few other little things are personal gifts to the work.
 As the Red Cross rooms will not be open on Thanksgiving day it has been thought best to open them on We'd nesday evening from seven to nine. Very possibly there are those who may wish to return or take out work at that time and surely there are husbands or sons who will wish to make a special gift l as an expression of profound Thanks giving that our own country is at peace with all the world.
 With renewed thanks for the re- sponses which the people of New Brit ain have made and which we believe they will continue to make to our appeal for help.
