call attention each month in the Gen.

nation wide importance which the
club women should consider. 1t is
desirable that the State keep itself
informed upon these things for we

our duty to see the thing through.

War Victory Commission
Report Of State chairman. Mrs.
Grace A. Wing of Auburn, War Vic
tory Commission: e
In March Of this year the officers
and some members Of the General
Federation adopted a plan original
ing with the Texas Federation for the
establishment of furloush houses for
the soldiers of the United States in
France. A committee was quickly
formed with Mrs. Delplline D. Ash
baugh Of Detroit, Mich, as chairman;
| this committee appointed O sub
chairman in every state and started
cut to raise s250,000 by asking for one
dollar from every Federated club
member.
The General Federation secretary
| in Maine was made cha irman and
sent out letter to each club mem
| Der asking for contributions.
In May Of this year at the biennial
at Hot Springs it was voted to make
two million dollars the sum to work
, for and it was announced there that
Raymond Fosdick, head of the com
mission on training activities. would
spend the summer in France and
bring back q report Of how this money
should be expended to produce the
|. best results. Meanwhile the women
were to raise the money and be
ready at the call.
MIR. Fosdick made his report Just
about the time the arlnistice was de-
clared. 1t was to the effect that fur
Tough houses would not now be need
ed but additional women workers in
canteen and Y. M. c. A. are very
much needle and the commission has
changed it's plan to meet this new
demand.
The State chairman has sent 20 ev-
cry club notice that Maine is en-
titled to send two women in this
unit and applications are now being
considered by the committee. Details
can be obtained at this time from the
State chairman.
