Chapter is used for home relief
work, of which there will be plenty
as the boys leave home, many of
them leaving behind them others
who have depended more or less on
their support. Very shortly civi,
lians' relief committee will be orga-
nized to look after this work.
There has been a terrific shortage
of supplies for the campaign, receipt
books being unavailable, also but
TONS 1t was the intention to give
every applicant a button, but the
button factories have been absolutely
unable to furnish them, owing to a
shortage of celluloid. Just what
steps will be taken to supply them
later cannot be said now.
THE workers have a limited sup
ply of service flags, but it is under
stood that these will be forthcoming
during the week. :
Those approached should appre-
ciate the difficulties of conducting
the campaign without the proper sup
plies and give their support anyway
The workers will all be we'll known
to most of those approached, and the
forms upon which the subscribers
are all turned into central headQuar-
| ters.

answer the bell when they see work
ers coming. This can mean only
that they are not familiar with the
campaign and the purpose of the
American Red Cross.

have been asked to chino their bells
every Is minutes from 1880 to 9.
At the request of the American
