Thanks a thousand times, for. the contents were most welcome. The rubber cloth we put on the beds, and 1t is of great service in protect ing the mattresses, for we have now those who are so terribly wounded that it is almost impossible to move them. Each one of the nurses claimed a knitted wash cloth, but distributed the wash cloths parsimoni- ously, not wishing to exhaust all our riches at one time. made . reserve supply to draw on in an emergency. Nothing can equal the strength of the knitted articles, whatever their use. Think of us in the watches of the night. dear Madame. as our wounded think of you and of all the generous Americans who spend so much time In helping our hospital
 Le Medecin Major Weisgerber at Hospital 73. Cannes, says: 'I will try to thank you for your very kind gift. which we have just received through the American Relief Clearing House. All the things are so useful and so welcome, and will be of the greatest service not only to our wounded but to the surgeons as we'll. Our brave men are extremely touched to learn that across the sea they have friends who think of relieving their suffer- dngs and who seek to show by their generous gifts their admiration for tho efforts that are being made for France and for the civilized world For myself( who have passed a year at the University of Chicago, it is with emotion that I think of my friends in America to whom I send, very modestly. the gratitude of France
 The assistant director of Hospital Auxiliaire No. 124 at Paris, writes: The Comite Central des Secours American has just sent us some cases of gauge and of dressings from the surgical dressings committee of Boston.

 A letter from the Liverpool Women's War Service Bureau says: II am writing to thank you very much indeed for the eleven cases of surgical dressings which arrived safe- ly at the end of last week, and which have already been despatched. We arc sending all of them this time to Professor Garstong of Liverpool Uni versity, who is working in behalf of the French Red Cross in the Carcass sonnet district. When he was home on leave 8 short time ago we showed him one of your cases of dressings, which he was very much taken with. He said that the hospitals in his dis trict could do with an unlimited quantity of such beautiful dressings, and was anxious for far larger supply than we could then give him. we think therefore that we should have your approval and that of the Cunard Women's War Service associa- ton in sending him this consignment of dressings. know that they will be greatly appreciated and of inn mense use. We are so glad to be able to help the French wounded from time to time and are very grateful for the splendid help you have given us."
