It's over, over there. That has been
the feeling in Albuquerque since early
Monday morning when the anxiously
awaited announcement that the arm.
istlce had been signed was received,
and all over the United States such
celebrations as the nation had never
seen began and continued all the
week.
General Pershing's promise to his
troops that they would be In Heaven,
Hell or IIoboken by Christmas has
been recalled again and again with a
feeling Of the supremest thankfulness
that it came so near to fulfilment
But peace is not yet. Men and
women of Albuquerque and of the
nation have not felt that war work
could stop, and so all the week, with
the feeling in their hearts that at last
peace was in sight, they have given
of their time and of their money in
the United War Work campaign.
Thoughtful Americans realize that
the work of the seven organizations
represented in the campaign will have
a greater work to do on the other
side il peace really comes after the
thirty one days which have been
allowed the enemy in which to carry
out the terms of the armist.cc. than
amy they have done heretofore.
Society in Albuquerque during the
past week has been busy. not with
social functions. as the "flu" quaran-
tine is still on, but with the United
War Work campaign, The woman's
committees under the efficient lead
ership of Mrs. A. b. Stroup, were
mostly responsible for Albuquerque's
going over the top. Expressions of
appreciation of her generalship and
diplomacy were frequently heard dur
ing the days of the drive.

While expressions OF appreciation
for the worthy work of physicians,
nurses and welfare workers have been
frequently heard wherever two Or

of or mention the part our telephone

work for FLU" sufferers in the past
four weeks?

chapter has suspended all gauze work

ly TO the making of emergency gar
ments for soldiers and refugees
Mrs. j. G., Gould who has been
supervisor of the game work since
the 10th Of last March, reports that
during that time there has seen made
and sent out 1929 pieces OF Bauze
dressings and bandagcs. Even thoGgh
the war is won and the Red Cross has
enough dressings and ban lagos en-
hand for all present needs, there is
still an urgent call for emergency
garments and those who have been
giving their time to the making OF
gauZe dressings are asked to continue
their good work in the making Vi
emergency garments Cor soldiers in
hospitals and for french and Belgian
refugees. On account uf the flu
conditions all the wOck on garments
must be done in the work rooms,

ment made now will be Of infinitely
greater service in saving life than
many garments three months from
now.
