chairman of the Red Cross surgical
dressings committee:: A cable has
been received from Major Murphy to
the following effect: "The Red Cross
has direct responsibility for supplying
us with surgical dressings, and moth
ing in the whole situation here is equal
ly important. The Red Cross Stand
ard dressings in millions must be sent
over with all possible speed. If this
is not done and done Immediately, a
serious calamity and national disgrace
is inevitable. The American women
who comprise the Red Cross chapters
should prepare with all the energy and
speed possible the dressings which are
going to mean life or death to our
men. This whole question deals with
the most vital thing that the women Of
America can do for the soldiers in this
war; Please, therefore, urge your
chapter to increase their output of sur
gical dressings. In doing this do not
discontinue other work, but get more
and nor surgical dressings workers
and increase the activities of your
chapters in that department.
