WILL Mrs, Howard Baldrige
w succeed in obtaining permis-
sion from Washington to
take charge OF a Red Cross ware
house in France9 The answer TO this
question Is awaited with great inter
est by Mrs. Baldrige's friends and
associates in the state inspection
warehouse, where she serves as CEN
sor. Mrs. Baldrige is the only woman
in the United States appointed to
such an important post, so far as
can be ascertained.
II was cable from Henry P.
Dawson, national president of the
Red Cross society and a personal
friend of the Baldrige family, which
first raised the question. Mr.. Davi-
son asked the Omaha woman to take
charge of warehouse in France.
Mrs. Baldrige's ability to speak
French would, of course, make her
additionally valuable in this Ca
pacity.
But here a stern government in
terferred with the regulation that no
woman, who had a son or husband
in the service could qualify for
overseas work. Mrs. Baldrige's son,
Captain Malcolm Baldrige, is al
ready overseas.
Mrs. Baldrige's friends believe
she will go. On Mr.. Davison's re-
turn to this country, important
changes in requirements for over
seas workers are anticipated.

The crying need for relief work

the work at home and in the schools

and tina. perhaps one was doing Just
as much to stick to their iobs-but
all that is changed in my mind. With
the number of teachers that are re-
signing, school may become disor-
ganized but they still have founda-
ton and they will muster new forces
and go on but this proposition is
another thing. Workers must come
to do these things. had no concep-
ton of the need.
Everything | ever heard that was
awful, I've heard confirmed at al
most, if not quite first hand. Our
boys have seen service like veterans,
American women must be here. We

service locally, and to be assigned
for regular duty next week. We've
asked to be sent together but have
not been answered, though we expect
