RED CROSS NOTES
' ell goodbye,
 H. P. Corser.

For the poerid up to July 1, 1918, American Red Cross ChaD- ters, through their workrooms had produced:
 49O, l20 refugee garments. .7, 123 621 hospital supplies.
 10 7S6, 489 hospital garments.
 10, 134 ,5O1 knitted articles.
 l92. 74S. 107 surgical dressings. A total of 221, 2S2, S38 articles of ar estimated aggregate value of at least $44. GOO, 600.
 These articles were largely the product of Women's hands, and, by the same token, infinitely more precious than could have been the output of factories or machines. These articles going to the oper- ating rooms of the hospitals, to homeless or needy refugees, and carrying comfort to our own boys in the field. convey a message of love from the women of this country entirely distinct from the great mon.ey value attaching to their handiwork.

It is a special reason for thanksgiving, and ] will speak about it at that service. Kindly help to make the service known.
 My great regret is that l could not have been in Wrangell to have helped in yesterdays celebration. It began here at five o'clock in the morning. was awak tened by the blowing of whistles. l knew that they proclaimed victory because we were all looking for 1t. AS the sun arose, the noise became more terrific. It was all day until late at night. enc con- tinuous blast of noise of whistles and ringing of bells. Conningsby Dawson was here and spoke in the evening. Hearing him was an event in o;ea's lifetime. l expect. sonI e evening at N rangell to give a -el ie~ of lis Hration. He spoke specially for the Sol diers' War Nelfary fund. Scran- ton expects to raiee 500, GOO and hopes for million.
 Everyone took rart in the eel ebration. My father who is 9t years old dig up 6 small h".,ad bel! which he ran@ee wh 3n Lee surrendered n 1865, and walked the street ringing it until his hands were bli: .ered.
