Today we have had good news
Bulgaria is not so much in itself per
haps, but it leads to and involves SO
much that it's unconditional surrender
today means much to the progress of
the war, and the Hut has rung with
rejoicing all the evening, and when !
announced it and stated some Of its
implications tonight in the concert
hall TO the 500 men in there, the cheer
was a shout Of triumph.
Not that am deceiving myself with
any false hopes. can't see as many
here do, that by Christmas this year
all viii be over and the peace treaty
signed, sealed and delivered If it
comes by Christmas next year l shall
be less surprised than if il comes this
year-but who can tell? We can at
least hope and trust and pray--and
fight on-as | should do If the days
were dark with the dreariness Of de-
feat.

AMERICAN RED CROSS

The idea seems to have been enter
tanned by few persons that because
fighting in Europe has ceased there is
not reason for effort on the part of
the American Red Cross, but this is
a great mistake. President Wilson
appeals to every American citizen to
enroll in this organization during the
membership drive this month, while
from the War Department comes the
statement that help is needed now
more than in the past. In the first
place the war has not ended and will
not end until peace conditions are
ratified after the deliberations around
the peace table in Europe. One and a
quarter million Of our boys are to
remain in Europe for the present.
The thousands of wounded in the mil
itary hospitals abroad and in this
country must still be ministered unto.
Besides all this we must not forget
the needs of the French and Belgians
and others who have suffered so
seriously from the results Of the con
fict, and not only the wounded Of the
allied forces, but those whose homes
have been destroyed ard all their
possessions taken from them. 1t has
been officially stated that of the seven
million people in Belgium more than
half, or four million are in the soup
lines, being fed benevolently; there
are some of them shelterless and they
are almost naked. IL was for US as
well AS for their own homes they suf
fered.
An urgent appeal has come to
the Manchester Branch Of the Red
CROSS for the immediate production Of
100 convaIegcent robes, 80 suits of
pajamas, 10 operating gowns, 130
house gowns, so handkerchiefs, It's
comfort kits asked for by the Italian
Army, so women's chemise, 30 girls
petticoats; approximately roo pairs Of
socks, and $50 sweaters. viii every
woman in Manchester help? Sewing,
knitting, or basting, there is work for
all. Work can be done at the rooms
N which the units meet, Of which
here are four or at your home. For
'urther information apply 10 Miss
Iermione Garfield, or Mrs. J. N.
Hard at Manchester; Mrs. Loveland
chairman Of Manchester Cen
er Unit; Mrs. II. s. King, Manches-
er Depot, or Mrs. Claude Rich, Man
hester Depot, for the unit at the Rich
settlement. Here are the telephone
numbers Of all except Mrs. King:
Miss Hermione Garfield, 45M.

Of tremendous help to me and real
joy and comfort. There may be an
opportunity for me to go again. At

week or ten days in Devonshire and l
am running the Hut affairs. When he
comes back, or before, Burtt, the man
who took over my program, is to go to
the hospital for slight operation, and
then Murtfeldt says must go of for
rest. Maybe l will.
am SO glad to hear the home news.
What a splendid thing it will be to
have the town service flag" The ef-
fort to secure it will be Of tremendous
value to the home folks when they
reflect on its significance and upon the
fact that their boys are really in and
of the hardest part Of the fight for

nifcent expression Of self-sacrifcing
service.
Must close now and go to bed. Give
my love to all the friends.

This has been day Of business and
pleasure. Worked hard until noon and
then went with one Of our canteen
ladies for bus ride to Dorking--
about 25 miles away, and fve-mile
walk over the Surry Hills. Dorking is
a quaint old town with winding streets
and lanes and terraces and old posting
taverns. OF course you know Il is the
