 The Red Cross represents you
 whether you join or not Congress and the president have so decided They are in constant conference
 with its officers; they approve it's work Cablegrams and telegrams
 come in daily calling for hospital supplies and surgical dressings and
 the rest: calling for refugee gar
 ments for the stricken lands, facing this bitter cold weather without fuel. The Red Cross will do it's best.
 Ii it fails it will be because there are only twenty-four hours in day. l These are days loaded with des- tiny. They call loud for the big heart. This is no time for littleness and meanness. We must all work together, and do our part to help win this war, and bring everlasting peace to the world.

 And must say, I have never seen garments any more beautifully made than they were. Just perfect and the materials all of the very best. And l am sure the hospital that gets supplies like those we send in will call it the lucky hospital, and I know i'll my own heart the patients who wear the pajamas. bath robes, etc, will feel warm and comfortable in them, as our one thought and desire in all our work has been to make cur boys as comfortable as we pos sibly could; and we have used noth- ing but the best materials. and have made every effort to have our work and finish as neat and perfect as il could be made.
 l have watched many moist eye in our workrooms and have seen many tear drop down on the gar nIents.
 God bless our boys in khaki Our prayers and our tears go with them one and all Our spirits are ever with them in all the hospitals of pain snd on all their weary marches, and we pray the day to come soon that will bring us everlasting peace and i bring back home to us all our dear boys.
