RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

A telegram just received from the general mana gers office reads as fol- lows:
 Direct shipments made by chap .ters to soldiers located at distant points have led to duplication, con- fusion, and unnecessary expenditure. Discourage this practice"

 The entire Red Cross programme has attained such a degree of masni- tude that only through hearty CO., operation and organized team work can we hope to accomplish the work set before us.
