-
A large and enthusiastic meeting Of
the Federation was held Monday af-
ternoon, when final arrangements were
made for entertaining the District
Federation in Mexico, October End and
3rd.
The meeting was addressed by Miss
Fields of st. Louis, Division Represen-
tative of the Red Cross. Miss Fields
urged the necessity of maintaining the
present Red Cross organization that
has cost millions to build up. She
said that conditions at home and a
broad call loudly for help such as the
Red Cross can furnish. There is dis
ease and poverty in Europe, while
here there are still from five to eight
hundred thousand men in camps, many
thousands in hospitals, and many in
jured men throughout the land in need
of assistance.
The Red Cross peace program is to
lay special stress on the work of the
Junior Red Cross, Home Service De-
partment, First Aids, and Nursing
Service.
The Federation was treated to trio
