, will be many from this country. Many of your nurses are in the service and
 some have eben given their lives; $50 of ours have died. Your American Red Cross is. the largest single organ ization that the world has ever known
 and it deserves everyones support. Women Work in All Ways.
 There are many things that the women can do other than Red Cross
 work. When England entered the war l many problems arose. Merchants af1d industries lost their men and they feared ruin, but the women of England came forward and filled the positions left vacant by the men. There are 1 over one and one-quarter million of women working in factories in Eng 1 land and there will soon be So0,000 l more. Woman has engaged in all kinds of work They work on the rail-
 roads, in the banks. drive taxicabs, | trans and motor cars and work in
 munitioh factories They are engaged l ih shipbuiiding and in the arplane 1 the allies control the air over the bat
 tie fronts. In May l, 1,lf3 German planes were destroyed by' our machines. We
 need the right kind of flying men, and Italy, America and England have them, i Now they need the right kind of ma f chimes. and England is putting them 1 out: In one week we have produced
 as many machines as we did in 1914 and in three weeks we have produced
 as many as we did in 1915. Our wom- ] en are playing an important part in
 this construction. Our women can build complete ariplane without the i aid of a single man.
 i In the intuition factories women are
 engaged in the making of shells and 1 the handling of high explosives. It is interesting to know that nine ten*ns of all the shells used by the allies are made by women. So it is with every occupation women have taken hold and are fast becoming experts in their run great risks in handling the ex- plosives but they do not think of the
 risk for if you shoul talk to them about , it they would say, think of the risk our
 men are running in the trenches.
 Germanys submarines have come to Anerica''s shore, but the American l people win say, Come on. do your
 worst, we are ready for you" Germany is trying to frighten America, hut America is ready for such frightful-
 ness. There will be no peace con
 ference until Germany has been de-
 feated.

 piece of propaganda ever loosened ir
 Germany, Germany had been watch ing the loan with interest and it show
 cd that America was in the war fol good.
 , Miss Fraser said that two things were necessary at this time, increased pro.
 duction and increased economy. Wt ] must do away with the nenressential : England has done it and they are bet CT off and America can do it too , America must mobilize her resources , In closing Miss Fraser said that the German people considered themselves : the most efficient people on earth anl } that they should rule but we have ] not achieved our duty until we havs made Germany human and the only : way to do this is to defeat her in thi. great struggle so that the rule of aG. teeracy is put down forever.
