RED CROSS NOTES
Attention Called to Importance o.
Refugee Garment Work

The Red Cross calls attention to
the need of refugee garments. Eliot
Wadsworth, acting chairman Of the
central committee. who recently re-
turned from France, in the course Of
speech a few days ago made very
clear the Importance Of Refugee Car
ment Work
In the trying conditions under
which refugees live their clothing
wears out very rapidly. The Ameri-
can Red Cross has assumed the re-
sponsibility of clothing these people
and unless we fulfill this obligation
the refugees have no one to turn to
for help. The presentation of a Red
Cross garment bearing a Red Cross
label clearly demonstrates to these
sufferers that the civilian population
Of the United States is ready and
anxious to help the civilian popula-
ton Of the allies. This fact as much
as anything else helps to keep up the
morale which we are making every
effort to strengthen.
The Improvement in the morale of
the civilians is promptly reflected in
the morale of the army. Anything
we can do to maintain this morale
is a direct aid TO the allied cause.
I'VE are going to have large num-
hers of refugee garments to make for
sometime 10 come. This is part of the
Red Cross effort toward the winning
of the war
"All chapters should therefore plan
to develop this state of the work and
where necessary should turn some
of their workers from surgical dress
ings TO garments
