GAUZE WORKERS

Owing to misunderstanding, the num- Der of gauge workers at headquarters has fallen eff alarmingly, at precisely the time Wien it was necessary to speed up the work. An announcement was made in the papers that the new allot- ment of material had not been received from New Orleans, and the workers con eluded that they were not needed at headquarters. We have still 4000 front. line parcels to be made of the August allotment, and are very anuxious to get these off by the 18th All of those who took the special lessons in making these front line parcels are urged to come to headquarters and spend as much tilne as they possibly can until they are mace. And all experienced gauge workers will be welcomed.
 The units that do sewing have finished the August allotment, and at present there is no more sewing material at headquarters A telegram from New Cr- leans states that the September allotment was shipped on August 2l by freight, so ii may be received at any moment. Chair men of sewing units are requested to watch the papers for announcement or it's arrival.
