THE SOUTH ATLANTIC
FIELD AND THE GIRL.

To the South Atlantic field of the
Young Women's Christian Association
| which covers Virginia, Georgia. Nortf
and South Carolina and Florida, mos
Of which has contonments and indus
trial centers, has come the great re-
sponsibility for war work among its
girls and women.
The present crisis has made it neces-
sary for many of the girls:
To live in rooming houses without
supervision.
To endure loneliness and strange
environment.
factories and the support of family.
To bear physical and mental strain
from overwork
To face overtime work under the
guise of patriotism.
To contend with false ideals OF re-
lationship occasioned by the pres
ence of soldiers.
And there is here. too, an urgent
need, created by these conditions, for
giving the hundreds Of girls, who
come to the new Industrial centers.
Some of these tremendous questions
which confront us ard
What shall a girl do with her leis-
ure time?
How shall we best strengthen the
ideal of our girls and develop fine
woman1y characters? For some have
said, LAS the country's womanhood so
the manhood"
The National War Council OF the
Young Women's Christian Association
has put its shoulder along with the
women of this field, to the great work
of the responsibility. and is meeting
the need in many of our large indus
trial communities and in the canton
ment centers. in helping to provide
better employment and organizing
club organizations for patriotic serv-
ices. In the environments at Atlanta,

To this South Atlantic field have
come great numbers of soldiers, and

RED CROSS AUXILIARY
IN NEED OF FUNDS.

During the summer months the
Navy League did some splendid work
in Pensacola, sending large NUM-
Der of finished knitted articles to
headquarters for distribution among
the men in the different branches OF
the service who were in need of ex-
ira wraps for their journey across
the Atlantic Ocean.
The people of Pensacola were ex-
tremely generous in their donations
which made this work possible, for of
out Of local funds, and during one
summer the league raised over $500.
Howeves, the league has now been
disbanded after due deliberation, and
is carrying on the good work as an
auxiliary of the Red Cross Society,
which allows them to use their work
for the benefit of the boys at the
local training stations.
It has already been told how the
ladies of the auxiliary went down to
the Aeronautic Station Monday aft
ernoon and distributed $50 articles
among the fifty or more boys who
were under orders for active. service,
and later in the evening they dis
tributed Is more garments, making
total of ITS for one day, all among
boys who have been stationed here
for the past several months, and who
have been stationed here for the past
several months, and who have made
many friends in the city. This gives
the work a much more personal touch
than when it is sent to headquar-
tiers for distribution.
However, in order to keep up the
work it will be necessary once more
to appeal to the generosity of the
Pensacola people, for although the
auxiliary has little money on hand,
still they are quite considerably
short Of the amount which they will
need in order to pay for the wool
which has been ordered It is very
difficult to secure a supply of wool
now, and they have ordered from
three different places, hopes that by
this means they will receive enough
to keep up the stock which they re-
quire, and in order to pay for this
they will need to raise at least 500
in the next few days.
Detroit has offered to help, and
has already sent one large box of
supplies, which helped out quite con-
siderably in supplying the boys on
Monday, and it is estimated that for
the present at least fifty complete
sets will be needed each week in or
der to supply the demand.
The winter months are here, and
it may be hard for some people who
have all the warm clothes they need
to realize that some of the men at
the training stations suffer every
time the weather turns cold, but once
they know the truth the people OF
Pensacola are sure to come forward
with their usual promptness and con-
tribute the necessary funds for sup
plying these men with knitted COM
forts.
