IMPORTANT
WORK FOR THE
RED CROSS

The following telegram has been
received by the Mountain Division
from Major Murphy in charge of the
American Red Cross Commission in
France:
THE Red Cross has direct re-
sponsibility Of supplying us with
surgical dressings. and nothing in
the whole situation here is equally
important. Red Cross standard
dressings in millions must be sent
over with all possible speed. II this
is not done and done Immediately a
serious calamity and national dis
grace Is inevitable. The American
women who compose the Red Cross
chapters should prepare with all
enthusiasm and speed possible the
dressings which are going to mean
life or death to our own men. This
whole question deals with the most
vital thing that the women OF Am
erica can do for the soldiers in this
war"
Mr.. Morey, manager of the Noun
tain Division advises that the Log gan
Chapter and its branches make as
many surgical dressings as possible.
He states that it may not be posi-
BILE for all chapters to operate gauze
rooms, but wherever it is possible.
they should be established at once.
Where gauze rooms are established,
they should be SO arranged as to &C
commodate more workers. Where
the securing of such rooms are i'm
practicable, hospital garments and
supplies should be produced.

been furnished in the past have gone !
