FINANCE RED CROSS
 AS THE FIRST STEP
This Is Message From President
 Hart of Stanley Works

Commenting today on tho campaign of the American Red Cross War Re-
 lief and Y. M. c. A. Army Camp
 funds to raise $112,60o in New Brit ain, President George P. Hart of the
 Stanley Works said:-
 The big necessity of the present is to finance the Red Cross 50 1iberAlly as to give 1t tho chance to step into the zap and do a grand work of up-
 building and inspiring our allies while our soldiers are being mobilized and trained.
 l. And doing this We are not merely rendering moral encouragement, but actual physical help to the fighting armies of France. We are taking from the shoulders of an overbur- dened nation the task of helping these unfortunates. Thus we arc increasing the man power of France at the very time when this counts
 most. We plan to take these help less thousands back from the fringss of the armies and set them up in life so they can help themselves.
 This is not charity-don't let any, body get that idea for a moment. 1t is simply paying our debt to the men over there somewhere in France who are giving their lives to protect our own property; backing up our own
 boys who will soon be in the serv- ice.
 "A tremendous Russian problem confronts the Red Cross. We have debt to pay to Russia. The situation as regards amelioration of suffering on the long Russian battle line is deplorable. On the whole 1000 miles of front there are only 5000 ambu- lances, whereas in France. on . front of 400 miles. there arc S3,o00 ambu- lances. Succor must be rushed to Russia. There are problems of en- couragement and of material aid con- fronting us there as great in their way as await us in France. We must be up and doing-aH of us, every single American. Our thought h to go to Russia with as much relief as we can assemble. The heartening problem is very pressing there. al the whole country must understand
 by this time. It Is especially neces- sary now that Russia Is in the throes of revolutionary aftermath. I am firmly convinced that the Russian democracy can be relied on to keep it's head, to maintain what 1t has snatched from autocracy, but 1t must be helped, and helped quickly"

WORKERS NEEDED D'TO. SEW FOR RED GROSS

 cess Although Handicapped
(COntrihuted)

Only by a visit to the Red Cross headquarters on Court street can you really understand the great work that Is being carried on there. But some idea may be had from the following list of articles comprising the con- tents of the boxes which have been sent from there up to June 1, 1917: 9S pair flannel pajamas, PAS pair gingham pajamas, 619 hosptal shirts, 1492 slings or Esmarch bandages SIS wash cloths, 73 operating gowns, 16s pair leggins, 542 operating helmets. 537 operating caps, S8 hot-water bot tie covers, 147 eye bandages. 21 knit ted mufflers. 62 pair knitted socks, s7 knitted helmets. 10 pair wristlets, knitted sweaters, 108 towels, 72 op- erating towels. 71 sheets, 16 convals- ceent robes, 113 comfort pollows, 12 of these listed articles Is 4,843 and the money value is $1451.20.
 The amount of relief represented here has demanded incessant hard work and is a proof that the women of New Britain are anxious to be of patriotic service to their country in her time of need.
 The problems of organizing and planning this great Wprk sare not easy to solve but the zeal that can only como with voluntary undertaking of patriotic duty will overcome all diff f1culties if the women in this city will come forward and help.
 The great need just now is for workers. A large number are work ing both as individuals and as or ganizations but there is need of a great many more If there is to be no curtailment of activity and no ham, pering of progress.
 We may we'll return thanks to the Great Giver of All that up to this time there have been kept from our doors the sorrows which homes abroad are enduring, but our boys are gathering over there and, turn from the thought as we will, they may soon be numbered among the hundreds of thousands of victims who will need to be rescued and clothed and fed and bandaged and doctored and nursed by the Red Cross.
 An urgent appeal is made to every woman in this city who can sew to come to the Red Cross rooms and help in this great work. The rooms number of workers and If there are
 
 wishing to work on special days this can be arranged by telephoning such desire. If one has even an hour to spare it can not be spent on anything that will count for more just now.
 In helping at the Red Cross rooms you are doing your ''bit'' of army service, for the American Red Cross is the war relief bureau of the Unit ed States army and navy. under com mand of the army end navy and dt- rected by them. If you wish to go into aviation. you go to the aviation section of the army. if you wish to help the relief end of the army you go to the Red Crcss. It has been said that latent desire to help others Is common to all women, and at the Red Cross headquarters there is chance for every woman to put this desire into action, so that when this war is over she may be privileged to say "I have done what could"
