A telegram just received by Mrs.

Work, Mrs. Moberly, in which she
emphasizes the need of work rooms
carrying on he work as heretofore.
She says:-
I have just gotten back to my
desk after an absence of a little over
three weeks.
The need of service is not at an
end. All Red Cross workers must be
recruited to the full, to support the
Chapter is to undertake on a postwar
basis; the work is in behalf of the
hundreds of thousands of ragged ref
ugees, and whole populations Of af-
fiicted countries will reach across the
sea to America, and provide employ
ment for hundreds of willing hands
here
The need of Red Cross workers is,
greater now than ever before and we
are now urging all chapter workers to
devote the time formerly used for
making articles fo1 Sgas sSldiers and
sailors to now make garments needed
tries.
Allotments on Refugee clothing,
knitted articles, and, hospital gar
ments are to be sent to each chap
ter to be distributed to their branches
etc.
On March 1st we are getting out
our first allotment, which consists of
different garments and sweaters. 1t
is humanity that calls, women and
children all over Europe and the
countries of the Far East are SUI
fering from lack of proper clothing.
It is to supply in small measure the
crying needs, that we are now sum-
moning the Red Cross Chapters, and
ask them to take up the task of max
ing Red Cross garments and knitted
articles fer the refugees, and it restss
with the Chapter workers now to let
the rest Of the world know that the
heart of America still throbs for
humanity.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. Catherine H. Moberly,
Director Dept. Dew.
