any of the money given by the Ameri-

reason we asked our 5000 chapters to

In this way not only was the work

been unanimous in realizing that there is

view was conducted by the American
Red Cross. through it's Christmas pack
cts committee, under James @. Elaine,
jr
Long before Christmas had begun to
play any part in the preparations. OF
most persone the Red Cross issued a
call to it's thirteen divisional heads.
and through them to the 5000 chap.
ters which make up the membership OF
the organiza ton. The plan was to in
sure every soldier in France, every
sailor on the high seas and in naval
stations and training schools, every
marine and every man in camp ana
cantonment receiving at least one
package on Christmas.
To do that it was necessary to have
1,500, 900 packets. The Red Cross pro-
portioned that number among its 1900
chapters. Each. packet represents an
expenditure of $3.50, and contains such
articles as it was possible to place in
a small space. articles that would
neither break nor spoil during the long
voyage to France Because of the fact
that thousands of the packets were
destined for abroad, and because 1t
would neither be practical nor fair to
designate certain packets for that pur-
pose, suggestions had to be made with
regard to the packing OF all the pack
cts. Games. smoking articles, writing
conyeniences and such dried fruits and
candies as could be safely sent, con-
stituted the greater portion of the list
of suggested gifts. While 1t was not
the intention of the Red Cross to lay
down any hard and fast rules in regard
to these articles, it was considered ad-
visable to have all the packets fairly
uniform, thus avoiding any seeming

ors the particular packets for which
they were responsible. They also want.
the boys in the trenches This is an
absolute impossibilify. The packets
must be concentrated at the nearest
divisional warehouses, and from there
sent to whatever final destination Is al
ready arranged for. In the south have
been accumulated many thousands of
these packets, which will go to the men
in the numerous camps in that section
Of the country. To have sent small
percentage of these packets to some
other warehouse, from which they
would have gone to France, would,
m anifest1y, have been impossible.
Packets for the men in France were
sent direct to the head OF the Red Cross
