RED CROSS WORK
BADLY NEEDED

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Division Headquarters in
regard to changes in Red Cross work.
instructions today received from
Washington prescribe that the max
Ing OF surgical dressings must be stop
ped Immediately. Chapters are as
sured that there are in the Red Cross
storehouses in America and France.
ample supplies of surgical dressings
to meet all contingencies that may
arise.
All other forms of chapter produc-
tion activity must be continued. Calls
from Red Cross Commission in many
parts of the world make known the
unlimited need for civilian relief. The
chapters. therefore, should finish at
once. uncompleted orders Of garments
for refugees, so as TO be prepared to
take care Of additional orders. Work
on refugee garments at this time is
all emergency work and should be
stimulated to the utmost. The need
for civilian relief for the winter is
pressing and one garment now will
be infinitely greater service in saving
a life than many garments in three
or four months from now. Surgical
dressings workers should be urged to
enlist In the work OF garment max
ing.
Further instructions will follow as
the situation develops.
The Surgical Dressings room will
continue to be open. with the regular
instructions for work in other lines.
