che Red Cross Has Not II Enough
Members to Care for Our Rows.


Members to Care for Our Boys.
The Red Cross has been called
Iapon to help the army and navy to
Yspch a tremendous extent that it
must have, at once, 15,O00,OOO
This is not campaign for money

beyond all measuring. Unless they
ARE to suffer and die needlessly,
krainload after trainload of hospital
supplies alone must be piled up for
them before ever they go into battle.
4 Here is part of a cabfegram to the
Red Cross commissioner to Europe:
By The Red Cross has direct re-
surgical dressings, and nothing in
Ehe whole situation here is equally
Important. Red Gross standard
dressings in millions must be sent
over with all possible speed. Ii
This is not done, and done immedi-
ately, serious calamity and nation
al disgrace is Inevitable"
There has been. an Overwhelming
appeal for sweaters, socks, and other
knitted articles to keep the-boys
warm. Here is part of Majof Muir
phys appeal to the Red Cross to
send them, and send them quickly:
.We inexpressibly dread the COM
ing winter finding. us without sup
plies to meet the situation: We urge
you on behalf of our soldiers and
gian refugees, to begin shipping at
once 100000 each (6.OOO,0O0 in
alb o. the warm, wooden, knitted
articles named. They must come be-
fore cold weather."
That appeal was spread among
the people by almost every news
paper in the land last August. Z:
Of work. But it could not do all
enough members. Although there
are now 100000 members, they
cannot do so much as quickly as it
needs to be done. Here is part of
message from Harvey D. Gibson,
general mangaer~of the Red Cross,
dated November I s, urging the chap
tiers to make more speed:
w nav . All W "a uOu PAOAAPSAy oAA
knitted articles received from chap
tiers, and have in addition been com
PEELED to buy in the market $780,
900 sweaters. The requests for our
organization in France for sweaters
and knitted goods have had to re-
main unsatisfied on account of our
inability to secure enough for men
in our army and navy"
That is why the Red Cross must
have 100000 members-to take
care of our fighting boys. Ours is
not an army of hirelings, it is our
own brothers and SONS and neigh
bors and friends. fighting outright.
a great call for Christmas men,
bers is being made. Don't wait to be
urged-go to the nearest Red Cross
chapter or branch, join, and ask to
be put to wOrk-knitting, sewing,
rolling badges, folding wound pads,
giving money to buy goods any,
thing you can do. This is not a
money campaign, though money will
be asked later 1t is a campaign
for members-for willing hearts,
swift hands, to uphold the boys who
go to fight for us.
Ten million new members must be
had before Christmas. Hurry, and
be a Christmas member. If you
can't fight, back the boys who can.

War Time Demand for Cotton.

Recent investigations in the use of
cotton in war shows: ).
A 12-inch gun disposes of q half
bale of cotton with every shot fired;
a machine gun in operation will use
up a bale in, three minutes; In 9
naval battle like the one on Jutland
over 5000 pounds 2 minute are con- con
than 10000 bales year are needed
to provide absorbent cotton for the
wounds of the injured; one change of
apparel for all the troops now engag-
ed in the war represents more than a
million bales.

Delay In Assembly session.

Governor Harrington is inclined to post
pone the converting Of the special session
OF the Maryland Assembly until some time
in June before the 18th of the month. He
said in Cambridge last Monday that he
had been urged by members of the Pre-
paredness and Survey Commission to de-
lay the session until June in order that
the food situation may be still further in
vestigated. In this connection some mem
bers Of the Assembly are favorable to a
delay Of the session until June 9th unless
he last discussed date. May 22nd. is ad-
hered to.
Because Of appeals Of the Survey Com
mission, said the Governor, Il am inclined
to delay the special session until some
time in June. shall not fix another date
until the actual issuance Of the call, but
the session will be held some time in the
month Of June before the 18th. Attorney
General Ritchie assures me that the refer
endum feature of the State law does not ap-
ply to special sessions, hence there can be
no complication from that standpoint. By
waiting until June for the session we can
safely feel that any legislation passed will
not conflict with laws passed by Congress. +"
