But some idea may be had from the following list of articles comprising the con- tents of the boxes which have been sent from there up to June 1, 1917: 98 pair flannel pajamas, 248 palr gingham pajamas, 619 hosptal shirts, 1492 slings or Esmarch bandages, 318 wash cloths, 73 operating gowns, 163 pair leggins, 5423 operating helmets, 537 operating caps, 88 hot-water bot- tle covers, 147 eye bandages, 21 knit- ted mufflers, 62 pair knitted socks, 87 knitted helmets, 10 pair wristlets, 8 knitted sweaters, 108 towels, 72 op- erating towels, 71 sheets, 16 convals- ceent robes, 113 comfort pollows, 12 knitted sponges. The total number of these listed articles i1s 4,843 and the money value is $1451.20. The amount of rellef represented here has demanded incessant hard work and is a proof that the women of New Britain are anxious to be of patriotic service to their country in her time of need. The problems of orgasizing and planning this great Wprk'dre not easy to solve but the zeal' that can only. come with a voluntary undertaking of patriotic duty will overcome all dif- ficulties if the women in this city will come forward and help. The great need just now is for ‘workers. A large number are work- ing both as individuals and as or- ganizations but there is need of a great many more if there is to be no curtailment of activity and no ham- pering of progress. We may well return thanks to the Great Giver of All that up to this time there have been kept from our doors the sorrows which homes abroad are enduring, but our boys are ‘gathering over there and, turn from the thought as we will, they may soon be numbered among the hundreds of thousands of victims who will need to be rescued and clothed and fed and bandaged and doctored and nursed by the Red Cross. An urgent appeal is made to every woman in this city who can sew to come to the Red Cross rooms and help in this great work. The rooms are :dequa}e to accommodate a large number of workers and if there are socleties or groups of individuals wishing to work on special days this can be arranged by telephoning such desire. If one has even an hour to spare it can not be spent on anything that will count for more just now. In helping at the Red Cross rooms you are doing your “bit” of army service, for the American Red Cross is the war relief bureau of the Unit- ed States army and navy, under com- mand of the army snd navy and di- rected by them. If you wish to go into aviation, you go to the aviation section of the army, if you wish to help the relief end of the army you go to the Red Crcss. It has been said that a latent desire to help others is common to all women, and at the Red Cross headquarters there is a chance for every woman to put this desire into action, so that when this war is over she may be privileged to say “I have done what I could.” TO VISIf FIRE HOUSES. Commissioners to Acquaint Themselves ‘With Conditions. The first trip of inspection of firs stations will be made this evening by the recently created fire board. The members will be introduced to the commissioners and needed repairs will be considered by the board. Acting on an opinion of Corpora- tion Counsel Cooper, the commission will take up the matter of issuing bids for the coal supply for the coming year. It had been believed that in view of the power given the old safety board/by the common council to make the purchase, it would be necessary for the new commission to secure con- sent from the council, but the cor- poration counsel does not- find that this is necessary.

FINANCE RED CROSS AS THE FIRST STEP This Is Message From President Hart ol Stanley Works Commenting today on the campaign of the American Red Cross War Re- lef and Y. M. C. A. Army Csmp funds to raise $112,600 in New Brit- ain, President Georg . Hart of the Stanley Works said:— “The big necessity of the present'is to finance the Red Cross so liberally as to give it the chance to step into the gap and do a grand work of up- building and inspiring our allies while our soldiers are being mobilized and trained. » *“And doing this we are not merely rendering moral encouragement, but actual physical help to the fighting armies of France: We are taking from the shoulders of an overbur- dened nation the task of helping these unfortunates. Thus we are increasing the man power of France at the very time when this counts most. We plan to take these help- less thousands back from the fringes of the armies and set them up in life 80 ‘they can help themselves. “This 18 not charity—don’t let any- body get that idea for a moment. Tt 18 simply paying our debt to the men over there somewhere in France who are giving their lives to protect our own property; backing up our ‘own boys who will soon be in the serv- ict “A tremendous Russian problem confronts the Red Cross. We have a debt to pay to Russia. The situation as regards amelioration of suffering on the long Russian battle line is deploreble. On the whole 1,000 miles of front there are only 6,000 ambu- lances, whereas in France, on a front of 400 miles, there are 63,000 ambu- lances. Succor must be rushed to Russia. There are problems of en- couragement and ot material aid con- fronting us there as great in their way a8 await us in France. We must be up and doing—ell of us, every single American. Our thought is to g0 to Russia with as much reliet a3 we can assemble. The heartening problem is very pressing there, 2as the whole country must understand by this time. It is especially neces- sary now that Russia is in the throes of revolutionary aftermath- I am firmly convinced that the Russiaa democracy can be relied on to keep its head, to maintain what it has snatched from autocracy, but it muat be helped, and helped quickly.” ° TO TEACH CITIZENSHIP.
