We left Camp Beauregard on
Thursday and got here Monday.
You see we had a long and tiresome
burney but we were sure treated
good by both officers and the peo-

wherever we stopped. The Red
Cross sure was good to us, tley fed
Us candy and cream and gave us
gum and cigarettes and all of us en-

four days and nights is very tiresome
We saw some pretty country and

The chairman of refugee garments
of the Red Cross writes that the
Germans are sending back into
France Refugees from the occupied
Districts. They are in a terrible
condition of restitution and must be
provided with clothes. People have
fled in hundreds from the present
battles leaving all they possessed.
Clothes were never needed more than
now. The Red Cross has consulted
those who know best in France and
Belgium and the list of official gar
ments has been chosen by them We
cannot change the customs of these
poor peasants in their hour of DESC
lation so we must give willingly
obedience to these Red Crosse rules
which we have no power to change.

we send only what is needed. The
clothing collected during the drive
went on Belgian relief ships, and
any second hand clothes that people
care to send can be sent through the
Belgian Government, but the Red
Cross ships only the garments on
it's list and they desire to push the
making of these.
