The benefits of the home service

tended to build up the morale of the
soldier ut the front and in the train
ing camp. If the man in the service
OF his country knows that his people
back home are being cared for and
looked after it gives him courage to
fight. Mrs. Doran said that it was
reported that there were few cases of
shell shock in the German army for
the reason that the army's morale
is looked after systematically. She
also said that the defeat of Cordona's
army on the italian front last year
was caused by the lowering the NOR
ale of the Italians by German propa-
ganda that the families of the SOL
dicrs were starving and dying. The
home service section will also take UP

Doings of The
RED CROSS.

Don't forget Mr.. Chapman's an
nouncement of the meeting of the
Red Cross ut one O'Clock on Satur-
day.
An order has come to this chapter
for 300 pairs of socks, rs sweaters,
and so helmets to be delivered by the
first of September.
An Auxiliary has been organized
in the Cove, and will begin work on
Friday of this week.
Those ladies who have this in care
will be present, with pattern gar
ments and regulation instructions.
You may expect the best quality
of work from the Cove.
TO Chapters of the Potomac Division
1 am informed by National head
quarters that reports have been re-
ceivcd there from several sections of
the country to- the effect that special
contributions are beirg solicited by
AuXiiares, which undertake to fl
nance their activities independently
of the Chapters to which they be-
long.
In view of the generous response
to the Second War Fund campaign,
which has been made by the nation,
il is not considered desirable to make
any further solicitation of funds
from the public for Red Cross pur-
poses for some months to come, ut
least; any any attempt to do so is
likely to produce an unfavorable i'm
preston in the public mind and to
bring criticism, if not discrciit, upon
our organization.
Under these circumstances, l VEN
ture at the instance of the national
Headquarters to urge upon the chap
ters of this division the dcsirability
of cutting down the number of Red
Cross entertainments during the
next few months and of stopping all
other attempts to raise additional
funds.
Of course there are cases in which
Auxiliaries are supported by some
regular plan of contribution on tn.
part Of their own membership, and
am not suggesting that this arrange
ment be interfcrcd with where it
meets with the approval both of the
Chapter and OF the Auxiliary thereof
Very sincerely yours,
HENRY WHITE,
Manager Potomac Division.
