At that time the scope of the proposed

All women in the metropolitan district

The present scheme is simply an en-

money for war work. Sixteen women
played in the tournament, and each

Gas MASKS ON

Many people say: why doesn't the
government do the work Of the Red
CROSSE" There is no better reply to
this question than to cite some Of the
activities of the American Red Cross.
Last August the American Red Gross
issued an order for an automobile to
be given to a French hospital for chill
dren of Toul, near Nancy. A lot Of
chintzes for the bedrooms were sent
down to brighten them up, lot of toys
for the children-French children
brought in from the war zone, too
young to keep on their gas masks. To
day ten Red Cross automobiles are
hauling to Red Cross hospitals in
France French children whose parents,
held in slavery in Germany, are now
being dumped every day at Evlan, on
the Franco-Swiss border.
Fancy our govern lent doing that for
French children. Yet 1t must be done
if the French morale behind the lines
Is to be kept up. These deeds Of the
American Red Cross are just as much
n part of our military policy in France
and Italy as though they were done un-
der articles Of war.
