AT WORK IN ENGLAND
Not Fewer Than 100000 Are Employed
In Munition Factories Alone,
Says French Writer.

Baroness de Brimont offers in
the Revue de Paris figures for the num-
Der Of women employed in England
which she affirms she has verified by
reference to official sources. No few
er than 100000 are in the munition fac
tories; 210,OOO are employed in con-
nection with army and navy camps
or establishments; 100000 in stores;
10000 in secretarial work; III, 900 in
garment making; and 100000 in trans
p%ortation, or in metal shops not en-
gagged in munition making.
Below the hundred thousand mark
the totals, beginning with nearly 10000
engaged in agriculture, run down to
10000 women engaged in the printing
and binding trades. Not fewer than a
million are engaged in war-work. Es-
Inmates made some time ago by writer's
like Mrs. Humphry Ward, indicate that
the Frenchwoman's computation Is
conservative.
The baroness, and a commentator in
L'Opinion, point out that the partici-
patton of women in industry in France
In consequence Of the war Is less ex-
tensive. Not only the totals show it
the breadth Of the English movement
Is indicated by the unparalleled
strength of organizations like the Ma
tional Union Of Woman Workers and
woman police, and its solidity by the
more national working basis-the week
being shorter than in France, Sunday
more ~infexibly observed, and rest.p0
Rods more frequent.

NO FIXED QUOTAS FOR 1919.

So great Is the faith of the American
Red Cross in the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment of
members in the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number Of people in their ju-
risdictions. The Roll Call will be fin
ished only when every available per-
son, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled. Children may join only
through the Junior Red Cross Auxilia-
ries, and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents a year. The chief
aim in enrolling Is not to raise money
but to increase the membership. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.00 per year, but priv
ilege will be given to enroll as a Con-
tributing Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000, Life Member at
5000 or Patron at $4,000.

THE CLIMAX TO VICTORY.

During the week before Christmas
the entire American people will have
the privilege Of answering the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call. The re-
Spouse should roar through the land
with a unanimity that will stimulate
to the uttermost the hopes Of men in
all parts Of the earth. 1t will there
fore be the climax Of American ideal
ism and will usher in Christmas with
a Red Cross membership approximate
ing the census figures. What the Red
Cross wants is the approval Of the
American people Of the Red Cross pol
icy, and such approval will have the
highest significance in the eyes Of suf-
fering people everywhere. President
Wilson leads the response and passes
along the message, II summon you to
the comradeship."

WHAT BOYS SAY
ABOUT RED CROSS

Since the soldiers overseas have
been informed by their officers that
the American Red Cross will play San
ia Claus this Christmas for all the
boys in khaki who have no relatives
in the United States, Red Cross Head
quarters at Washington has been re-
ceiving hundreds of appeals. Incl
dentally the men at the front have
taken this time to express their ap-
probation for the work done by the
Red Cross "Over There"
Following are a few excerpts taken
at random from letters ~incloslng

the good old U. s. A. would be appreci-

done 30 much for US over here, and you
don't know Just how we appreciate it

An italian thus addresses his Christ

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK
American Public Asked to Respond With Uni
versal Membership.

Ia your name written there7 Where7
On the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call,
Of course.
Beginning with Red Cross Sunday,
December Is, the entire American ma
ton will be given the opportunity dur
ing the week Of December 18 to % to
line up for all those brands of mercy
that the bright Red Cross against
the white background has come to
symbolic.
This Is In nc n a call for funds.
1t is the annual call for service. Ev-
cry member Of every household, from
the grandfather to the nursery, should
be represented IN the Red Cross Serv-
ice Flag. Only dollar memberships
arc being asked for, and these are for
the calendar year of 1919.
Everywhere throughout the four
teen Red Cross divisions the week will
be celebrated as a rededication to per-
Eonal service and self sacrifice. No
matter what may be the immediate task
ahead, there are bound to be increas-
ing demands made on the Red Cross
during the coming year, and every
American, whether here or in foreign
parts, has his part to play.
Through the Divisions every Chap.
ter, and through the Chapter every
Branch and Auxiliary will spread the
Red Cross Message and endeavor to
enroll every person in every com
munity. Already the membership in
this national organization has grown
from some few hundred thousand ir
1916 to more than twenty millions since
our W country entered the world
war. There are no limits set for the
1918 Christmas enrolment. Every
American everywhere is the hoped
for goal.
Programs subject to local conditions
will be arranged for the week, baset
on suggestions worked out by nationa
campaign managers at Headquarters

pulpit, and all church meetings will
arrange special programs of Red Cross
activities.
With the cooperation of local art
lists, every community will be deco
rated with Red Cross posters. Paster'
will be used on all packages sent GU
from the stores during Roll Call week
and the movies will show films pictur
ing the various Red Cross agencies a
home and abroad. "For All Human

Cross workroomA Employees day
(when special tribute will be paid to
the contribution made by the laboring
MANI, the week ending with a general
Cleanup" day, when every person in
the community not yet enrolled will
again be personally solicited for mem
bership.
1t is believed that some time during
the week at least one performance of
the masque, 1.-THE Roll Call" especial
ly written by MI. Percy Mackaye, with
stage settings designed by Robert Ed
mond Jones, will be given in every
community. This has but twelve
speaking parts and is arranged espe-
cially for community presentation,
with men, ome and children in the
pantomime parts. It can be given
either deliberately or very simply, as
conditions warrant. In its dramatic
theme it expresses the emancipation
of the human spirit from tyranny
through the humanizing agency Of the
American Red Cross. Copies Of the
masque, as we'll as directions for cos
tuning and incidental music, can be
secured at Red Cross Headquarters in
every town and city.
One of the most novel and interest
ing features of the campaign promises
to be the One-day and One-Hour plan
of enrolment. This consists of divid-
ing the community into units Of one
hundred houses, the idea being to have
sufficient workers to anvass these
homes practically simultaneously, a
sort Of "home stretch" distributing
the work among many with a mini
mum of time consumed by each.
The official uniform worn by Roll
Call workers will be q cap and arm
b%rassard. These are to be made Of
red flannel and a small paper circle in
white will carry the Red Cross en-
blem. This uniform will serve both as
protection against the INSCRIPTIONS and
as an aid to the workers themselves.
Corporations, business firms and in
dustries will be supplied with a 1907
Service flag.
There will be no Christmas sale of
tuberculosis seals this year. Instead,
the Red Cross has made a direct ap-
preparation Of $2,50O,OO0 for this work,
and ten seals will be awarded each
person who joins the Roll Call as a
reminder of the very important work
being done by the National Tubercu:
, losis Association.
Wars may come and wars may go,
but the Red Cross goes on forever.
Will you not be among the first to
place your name on the 1919 member
ship roll?

At "a recent meeting in Madison the
food situation was discussed by the
state food administration and others
They brought Mr.. Hoover's message,
the main theme Of which is. fHh VITAL
NECESSITY OF SIMPLE LIVING.
While the wheat substitute has gone
lin order to release grain for dairy
purposes and also because the wheat
crop is large) and the sugar restric-
tions are being raised, we must not go
back to the old wasteful days Just
what foods we must save most Mr..
Hoover has gone to Europe to ascer-
tain, but we know that fats will be one
of them.
There are people in Europe now who
know that they must starve because of
ports which are already frozen. There
are 10000, 900 such in Russia alone,
with possibility of 20, 100000 Are we
to sit back and waste or eat our fill
with this situation at our door, and it
Is at our door. All countries having a
surplus will send their food first to the
allies, then to neutrals and last to our
former enemies, with Germany at the
end of the bread line. 1t is not likely
that she will get any of our food but
even if she does, let us show her this is
a Christian nation ruled by God not
"gott''
England's motto during the war was
Carry on, ours now must be, Garry
over.
We have little idea of the real situa-
ton in Europe, we think that Belgium
has suffered most but Serbia has suff-
cred more. Her population has decreas-
ed fifty per cent while Belgium's has
not decreased only scattered. In Bull
garia there is not one baby living now,
that was born during the war. Starved
all of themi Can you knowing just
these few facts. ignore the conserva-
tion of food; you are not asked to do
without only save.
During the next week the foob ad-
ministration is making an educational
campaign for food conservation Meet
ings will be held all over the country,
we cannot join this movement on ac-
count of the '.fiu' epidemic, but we
J can join in the practice of conserving.

1t is up to the women of America as to
how many people will starve this win

have met the situation nobly so far
now let all go way over the 'op.
What if it were your baby Or family
that were starving while someone may
be far away, said, I'll eat all | want.
Perhaps thousands of these are as limo
