The question of the money that will be needed for home service seems to be one that IS agitating chapters in the gulf division. Home service has the first call upon chapter funds, according to instructions from MT. Harvey D. Gb- son. general manager of the American Red Cross. That this issue may be set clear before all chapters, the following correspondence is reprinted in the Bulle< tin. It needs no comment:
 Mr. Leigh Carroll. Division Manager
 American Red Cross, New Orleans. La.
 Dear Sir: May call to your attention my circular letter of December 20. 1917, concerning the use of chapter funds for home service.
 It has come to my attention that there is apparent reluctance on the part of some chapters whose funds are limited or have been very literally used for va- rious other purposes to make appropria- lions for home service, even when the opportunity for such expenditure, wisely and helpfully. is apparent. Whenever an individual chapter feels unable or unwilling financially to under take home service. you are authorized to state to the chapter that it's funds should be used so far as needed for the welfare of the families of soldiers and sailors in that community. even if the result must be the eurtailing of work along other lines, The only Red Cross funds available for home service are those of the chapter itself. whereas the
 a surplus funds of all chapters can be used if necessary for general relief sup plies.
 It should be made definitely certain that a chapter with funds, no matter how limited, should not neglect its home service obligations, because to do so will likely cause the families of soldiers and sailors there to suffer privation or to oblige them to sacrifice health by req son of oyerwork or unsuitable work or to apply to public or. private charities Yours very truly,
