Of these, 530 cases went to France, §3 cases to England, 13 cases to Italy, and 7 cases to Belgium. 8ir Stanley Maude, in charge of the Mesopotamian BExpeditionary Force, writes: ' “Though no doubt you receive from time to time individual acknowlsdgements from her for the bountifal supply of war gifts which are so kindly sent cut by your organ- ization I feel that I should like . to write on behalf of the troops in Meso- potamia to say how much we all ap- preciate these gifts, not only because they are useful and meet our require- ments so fully, but because we realise the immense amount of labor, time, and money which is necessarily en- in order to enabdble such good Tesults to be achieved.

This is a mat- ter of principle. It is not top late yet to svold this calamity. If the people of Osnada, by direct verdict, support conscription then organized labor will submit loyally to the de- cision. But . labor, which must bear the brunt of consecription, has been ignored and never consulted By the Canadian government.” Organised labor in the - United States ‘would be loyal to President ‘but would co-operate, = Mr. Verville said, in the protest of labor “4n Canada against the detision of the government, which had Been made without consulting labor. . Verville went on to say that Februaty he visited Detroit, Chi- members of your organisation our most grateful thanks for all that you have done and are still doing on our behalf.” Pere Galtier says in a recent note to Mrs. Mead: “I want to thank you a thousand times for your great kindness. in sending me some cases for our dear wounded soldiers. You are really too kind. Please present ‘also my thanks to all the ladies of your committes. The American Cen- tral committee of Paris sent me faithtully all your gifts. Now we are more and more friends, for America is'close t0 us, at our sidg, in this aw- ful war.- Her decision filled us with \lnbounded pleasure. Now Germany is ‘quite lost. This year will help its defeat. Vive 1'Amerique! Vive nos amis d’Amerique! Vive Boston! Vive ses vaillantes femmes!” A junior officer named Meusnier writes from a base hospital: “My commanding officer begs me to thank you, in his name and in the name of the officers and soldiers of the Am- bulance, for the packages we have received from the ladies of your com- mittee. You cannot realize how glad our wounded are when they open those things that come from so far away. What you send seems to them more valuable than the same thing bought in France because it comes from America and they all would like 10 be able to thank: the generous send- ers for their plnd“o-. Many have asked me if they could get as a sou- ‘venir, ‘photographs ‘from the ladies who have prepared-and sent those packages. Perhaps it is too much to ask you, but I know they would be very pleased if you could do so. Let me tell you in closing, dear Madame, that we hope to have some day the opportunity to show the United States that France does not forget what her great'sister America has done for her during this war.” An officer at the Hospice de Sesanne has- written -the following letter of thanks to our committee. Attention is called to the amusing postscript. “The administrative committee of "Hospice de’ Sezxanné was informed at its meeting on May 15 that your com- mittee had had the generosity to send the hospital, through the good offices of the American Reliet Clearing House, a case of dressings. The com- mission has given me the pleasant mission of sending you .its warmest thanks for the generous gift made to our dear wounded soldiers. This proof of the affection and the stability of our friends in America touches us and moves us profoundly. Yours very truly, - “E. MAROT. P. 5.
