 "Red Crossers keep on working. The work of the American Red Cross will not in any way let up with the exception of surgical dressings ana one or two hospital supplies. Ihe call for finished garments Will De even greater than it has been Ohap- tors should not relax thir efforts as unlimited quantities Of knitted articles are needed. Keep knlttihs all the yarn we can send you. Even with neace every American Red Cros rvorter must feel a sense Of grati- tude in having having had snare in if all Let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross IS over. Millions of American boys are stiii under arms. Thousands Of them are sick and wounded, and our protecting arms must be about them and thelr families over the whole period which must elapse before the normal Ire of peace can be restored.
 Our soldiers and sailors are en- listed until the commander Tn chlef tells them there is no more work for tbem to do in the war. Let every Red Cross member show our return ing soldiers and sailors that to care for their health, welfare and happi' ness we are enlisted for no less a period than they are.
