A HANDICAP
In Carrying on Red Cross
Work in Wrangelf

The Wrangell Chapter of the
Red Cross has been organized
more than a year. The ladies of
the Chapter are doing a patriotic
work. not by spurts, but every
day. 1t requires energy and pa
thence and a deep love for the
cause to keep at the work of sew
ing and knitting the way the
ladies have done the past twelve
months. And they have no in
tention of ceasing, or even rest
ing, until their country'a battle
is won.
1t would seem that these good
ladies are doing enough when
they give almost every spare mo-
ment to knitting and sewing.
Nevertheless, it is true that in
addition to their work they are
constantly facing the problem Of
procuring the necessary funds
with which to buy yarn and other
materials needed in carrying on
their noble work.
The Chapter depends almost
entirely upon the weekly dona-
tons made at the town hall each
Friday afternoon There are sew
eral persons who contribute reg
ularly, but not enough is
received to carry on the work.
We have never been in COM
munity where the people We're
more liberal than in Wranq ell.
We do not attribute the small
number of contributions made
each Friday to any lack of SYM
pathy for the cause. 1t is more
probablestha many persons feel
that they would like to make a
substantial donation each week,
and not being able to do SO make
none at all. But one should not
feel that way about the matter.
No amount is too small to be
accepted with gratitude. 1t is a
common cause-one which vitality
concerns each one of US. Men,
women and children are urged
not to overlook this obligation,
and to remember that .eontribu-
tons of &c. 10c, or 25c, f..made
regularly each week, will go far
toward defraying the expenses
of carrying on this work of
mercy.
! We trust that in the future
there will be a number of weekly
contributors, and that the good
ladies Of the Chapter will not
need to concern themselves fur
Their about where the necessary

conference Is to be held, It was
announced by the War Industries Board
to-day. The delegation is headed by l..
L. Summers. member Of the board. and

pected to establish what Is virtually an
International pool of war materials. thus
saving shipping space and shortening the
haul of vessels.
Arrangements will be made to inter
change information concerning supplies

time and will visit the French front and
meet in consultation with officials OF
the French Government after leaving
