of these girls who had previously
earned good wages. and were by no

decided to open temporary work

Since the Employment Bureau
was opened over 400 have register

for approximately 1882. In the work
room over 100 girls have been en-
ployed, and have made a total OF
over 5000 garments. In order TO
support the work rooms It has been
necessary to dispose of the gar
ments. An order department was
therefore formed. and up to the date
1900 orders have been received,
amounting to about $l25, 900. These
orders have been shipped directly
to Europe for the convalescent SOL

stories - seemingly written
in an attempt to Guido one
another in friRhtfulness, but
perhaps none of them are more
terrible to read than the actual
descriptions OF the journeys of the
wounded from the firing line at the
front to some base hospital far in
the rear.
Mangled arms which have gone
six and seven days without even a
first dressing. and countless deaths
on the way seem out of place in
this day and age. Tales which re-

with descriptions Of the latest mill
tary equipment. Ana all because
of the lack Of hospital service di
rectly at the froat!
If France is totally robbed OF its
male population in the future, it
VIII be because of the lack of these
hospitals.
But over here in America by a
curious circumstance of fate. there
has been formed from a club which
originally entered into existence
for the purpose of saving vaca-
tion money for working girls, a

Mitigate Suffering.
Nothing else can help in the
same degree to mitigate the awful
sufferings on the fighting line. The
hospitals near the front are installed
either in farm houses or in earth
huts built, and the trenches and
heating and lighting are almost
primitive. Operations arc often per-
formed by candle light, and the ar
rangements for sterilizing and
washing. where they exist. are mere
