The ruling of Major General

work of the Red Cross, according
to the opinion of ]. r. Elackhall.
acting president of the WEI county
chapter. In fact, he said, it viii
give the organization an opportu
nifty to do even more effective WORK,
as it will be able to get more and
larger shipments of needy arti-
Giles to the boys at the front.
The order of Major Genera
March means two things" he said.
1T is another way of saying tina.
America has a democratic army.
1t is convincing proof that Ger
eral Pershing is conf1dent that the
quartermaster's department and
the American Red Cross are fully
equipped to meet all the real
needs of the men at the front
The order will opera practi-
cally to do away with so per cent
of the pampering of certain men
and regiments by their well mean
ing friends. Army officers have
long protested against the senti-
mental favoring of individuals by
their personal friends So-called
personal relief work has been
considered a serious cause OF un-
rest among our soldiers and sail
ors.
The order will prevent the
waste OF millions of dollars which
have been spent in sending unnec-
essary and useless items OF per
sonal apparel and food. The I'M
guided generosity of many of orr
people has resulted in hurdening
our limited shipping facilities with
articles which the troops can Sc
cure quickly and without expense

the government itself. in the zone
of operations in France"

muslin caps and gowns, and physi-
clans wear d similar outfit when
visiting patients. The cap must
completely cover the hair and the
