=
The State department orEanizq qtion Is
not a branch Of the Red Cross. but its
output Of clothing and comforts is dis
tributed through Red Cross agencies in
France. Mrs. Lansing, by the way,
has a niece. Eleanor Dulles. who is IN,
France with the Red Cross. and the Sec
retary's two sisters. Miss Emma Ian
ing and Miss Kate Lansing. are working
in the canteens established for Gen
sral Pershing's army. The Lansings
have had no letters from them so fa-,
only a cable announcing their safe ar.
rival in France.
What are the women of the state
Department doing as their cOntribu
tIon TO the winning OF the war?
Well, knitting. OF cOursa, sweaters,
muffers, wristlets and the like after
Red Cross specifications. and mailing
warm and comfortable trOusseauN,
each consisting OF a dress ar two,
heavy underwear and twD little out
ing flannel nighues, FOR the refugee
children OF Belgium and France. Also
they are collecting worn clothing,
which is put in applc-pie condition
before being shipped, and shoss
which have plenty of wear left in

which, of course, must be in good
| condition, to send to the boys at the
! front, and just now they are special
izing in the making of Christmas

a nice plump one for S1,0o0-to Mrs.
Lansing for the use OF that infant or.
ganization, the DEPARTMENT OF State
War Relief Work? He was reminded.
he said, of the work his own country
women are doing and wanted to help
the cause a bit. And I suspect, the
distinguished Japanese statesman and
diplomat chose this graceful method
of showing his appreciation OF the
hospitality he has received during his
stay In Washington and especially at
the hands OF the Secretary OF state
and Mrs, Lansing.
The gift, which was made shortly
Before Vlscount Ishii and the MEM
bers OF his suite left town on the first
lap of their return journey, has put
the finances Of the State Department
war workers on q Arm basis. Already,
although the organization has been
in existence but little over a fort
night, a distinctly creditable amount
of work; has been accomplished and
plans have been mpped out for the
winters activities.
With the assistance OF the wives
Of the assistant secretaries OF State
and other officials OF the department,
Mrs. Lansing has organized the wom-
en- thereof along the general lines OF
the associations started in several OF
the other department Already over
100 women have registered. although
the State Department has a smaller
roster than most of the Government
services, and there are between fifty
and sixty active workers. That every
body Is interested in the success OF
the undertaking may be gathered
from the fact that even the messen-
gers are doing their bit Each OF
them made a contribution and the
sum collected swelled the fund in
the treasury materially.
