SALVATION ARMY.

The local Salvation Army War Fund
Campaign started Friday and up until
noon today subscriptions have been
arriving at headquarters very slowly.

War Campaign Fund. Mahaska county
is asked to raise $4,000 of which the
city's share is $1,000
1t is just as essential that Mahaska
county should go cover the top" in
this campaign as any of the Red Cross
and other war campaigns We have
abundance of proof of the good work
being done by the Salvation Army
workers, in the war zone, brought to
us, first hand by the returned soldiers.
Let everybody get behind the ball
and keep it rolling and so keep Ma

RED CROSS DOES WORK WELL
Mrs. II. S. Waite Chairman of Organ
ization In Great Britain. More
Than 1000 Workers Employed.

London, Aug. 4. (By Mail)-One On
the earliest forms of war activities
undertaken by the American Red
Cross in Great Britain was the manu-
facture of surgical dressings and 9th
err hospital requirements. From mod
est beginnings this work has increased
until it now employs more than 1000
workers in so branches throughout
Great Britain. The monthly output of
these workshops averages 100000 sep
arate articles per month and the out
put has recently risen to nearly twice
that total.
The center of this activity is in
large buildings at SO Grosvenor Gard
ems adjoining the administration of
fees of the American Red Cross. Fiji
teen rooms in the building are devoted
to various branches of this work
which is in charge of Mrs. H. S.
Waite as chairman. All the rooms oc-
cupied in the manufacture of surgical
dressings are large light and airy. and
the most modern appliances are. at

small payments given them by the
Red Cross are great boon.
The out-work branches in various
parts of England are mostly under
British administration but the Ameri
can Red Cross furnishes all the ma
terials and patterns, which are sent
out in large hampers. Fifty hampers
are in constant circulation for this
purpose. The supplies, when gathered
into the central warehouse. are sent
out through a regular system of dis
trlbution, to principal hospitals in
Great Britain, and TO a great number
of hospitals on the British, French and
American fronts in France.
A few weeks ago, the central work
rooms received an urgent appeal from
the American army for 100000 first aid
packages TO be supplied to American
soldiers. Each of these packages was
to contain IL articles, the whole order
thus involving the manufacture of
100000 separate dressings, together
with an enormous amount of labor in
connection with the careful packing
and shipment of the packages. This
work, moreover, was to be carried on
without interfering with the regular
duties of the workrooms in supplying
their usual hospital supplies. 1t was a
big order; but the executive commit
tee telegraphed its answer immediate
lly: I'VE will deliver firstaid packages
as requested, at rate of $4,000 per
week. beginning Immediately" From
the first week, this rate has been
exceeded, and the entire or
der has now been filed and is in the
hands of the American army author
tiles.
Some time ago, the workrooms made
arrangements with Mms. Carton dc
Wharf of the Belgian relief committee
for a large number of hospital gar
ments to be made by Belgian womer
refugees in Great Britain. These gar
ments are made in their homes In
various parts of Great Britain, the
cut-out garments being sent in hamp

for the work is made to Madame de
