AMERICAN RED CROSS
GULF DIVISION.
Circular No. 214.

New Orleans. La. Oct. 81, 1917.
To all organizations in the Cult
divisions.
Under date OF October 10, 1917,
Mr.. Harvey d. Giason, General
Manager. makes an urgent call for
an output of surgical dressings for
use at the front. In his letter. he
quotes the following cable from
Major Murphy, dated October IA,
1917, to the following effect:
: The Red Cross has direct re-
sponsibility of supplying us with
surgical dressings, and nothing in
the whole situation here is equal
~ important. Red Cross standard
dressings in millions must be sent
over with all possible speed. If
this IS not done and done immed-
lately, a serious calamity and nat
ional disgrace is inevitable. The
American women who compose
the Red Cross Chapters should
prepare with all the enthusiasm and
speed possible the dressings which
are going to mean life or death to
our ow.. men, This whole ques-
ton deals with the most vital
things that the women can do for
the soldiers in this war.
Mr.. Gibson writes:
Representatives of the Women's
Bureau have just arrived this
week from abroad and they inform
us that it is hard for us to apprec-
late the great quantities of dress
ings which are necessary. To best
enable us to visualize this, they
have informed US that cases are
numerous where an entire box of
.ressings is used on one patient.
The call to service is clear. 1t
IS for more and more surgical
dressings. The summer season is
ended: your members have return
ed strengthened and refreshed,
ready for work, Do not discon-
tinue other work but urge your
members to increased efforts in
this Department.
The need is immediate: your
response should be prompt.
Yours Very Truly,
Leigh Carroll,
Division Manager.
