Northern Division American Red Cross:
During the past few months a care %
ful study has been MADE OF the exnaD- SUD

this country The result of this survey
has shown us that while most of our
chapters would continue to support a

ed and anxious to resume their home
"The Investigations in Europe show
that the need for clothing in Europe
win be great during the cGming t}n aEa winteF
the Red Cross has extended to these
countries during the war, they now
in relieving their distress and suffering:
Our commissions with nurses and doc
tors are working among these people I2le e
-epidemics now raging and also to es-
tablish nursing and medical standards,
which will enable these people to work
out their own problems SO that our
commissions may withdraw as rapidly
as possible: ,o
such that transportation is very dlt-
ficult problem and for this reason our
warehouses in France and this country
still contain a considerable quantity or
finished articles which we will make
every effort to have reach these peO-
pie before cold weather, and which will
in a large degree meet the situation.
Inasmuch as the distribution of these
finished articles and the piece goods
which we expect to send will tax the
capacity Of the railroads, we have de-
cided not to continue production this
fall:
disposition be. made OF worEroom
sured that no necessity can arise for
months. If your present quarters must
be given up please try to find a place
where your equipment can be stored
with as little expense as possible
'"The Northern Division is keenly
appreciative of your hearty co-opera-
tion and very proud of the fine record
YOU shave made. We shall miss the
very agreeable contact with the splen-
did women who have given their time
to production, but hope that they will
q now turf, their attention to other
branches of Red Cross work, and give
as much enthusiasm and cooperation
