RED CROSS ENTERS NEW RELIEF FIELD Surgical Dressings to Be Made in Gourt Street Home An interesting announcement from the Red Cross rooms this week is the opening of a department for the mak- | ing of surgical dressings. Two rooms on the second floor of the headquarters bullding on Court street have been opened for this pur- ,Pose. The rooms have been reno- vated, splendidly equipped for the work, and lighting fixtures have been furnished by the New Britain Gas Light company. This department will be in charge of Mrs. Walter Hart who has made a special study of surgical dressings and who is thoroughly qualified to direct the work. Classes will be organized under the instruction of a qualified teacher and the course will consist of eight lessons. It is the wish of those in charge to start the work with a class of twenty women, who will, after taking the course of lessons, become the in- structors of future classes. If more than twenty women are interested sufficiently to enlist in this field at once two classes will be started. The need for surgical supplies at every dressing station, and every field and base hospital is very great, and with every blow struck upon the bat- tifields the need grows greater. It is hoped therefore that a large number of women in New Britain will take up this branch of Red Cross work and help in the work of mercy. Any woman who is interested in the mak- ing of surgical dressings is invited to register for the classes now form- ing. Applications can be made at the 'Red Cross rooms or by calling Mrs. ‘Walter Hart, telephone 1610. It will be welcome news for those who have been waiting for wool for knitting, to know that one large con- sianment has been received and that another is expected very soon. There is a constant call for these warm knitted garmentsg now that the chill of winter is in the air. New Haven chapter- is the distributing point from which these garments are given out in the district and every chapter is send- ing its knitted supplies there. Every day this week a large box of knitted goods has been shipped from the New Britain headquarters to New Haven. Assurance h: been given that every soldier will ‘be sup- plied with warm garments before leaving port. No one will be over- looked and if kept at training camps they will also be supplied. These warm garments are not a part of the regular army equipment but must be supplied by the Red Cross workers. Every woman who can knit should feel it her duty, therefore, to make at least one garment. A large quantity of material to be made up into pajamas and other hos- pital garments has also been received at the Red Cross rooms. Necessary and indispensable as are surgical sup- plies and knitted garments there can never be too many pajamas, too many hospital shirts, nor too many conval- escent robes.

Paris, Sept. 14.—Following a serles of conferences between representa- tives of the French government and Red Cross officials, the government has been officially notified through Gen. Petain that the Red Cross or- ganization is willing to supply funds amounting to several million dollars for relief work among the French civilian population during the coming winter. The French, it is understood, will work out a general plan of re- lief, which, in their opinion, would be best adopted to keeping up the morale of the civil population and then turn it over to the Red Cross, which will carry it out and finance it. The plan is the culmination of a scheme previously outlined by Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, commander of the American force, whereby the Red Cross shall specialize during the com- ing winter in ameliorating the condi- tion of civilians rather than devoting its chief energies to the American sol- diers, whose relatively small wants will be cared for by the Young Men's Christian Association, at least until they are in the trenches participating in the actual fighting. The basis of the whole plan is that America’s best help for the present while France still holds the entire front, is to do its utmost to keep the French sol- dlers in a good state of mind by help ing keep their families physically and morally In good shape.

This newspaper has made arrangements with the Council of Defense to publish these interviews, and they will appear Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. “WHY ARE WE AT WAR?" An Interview by Richard M. Bissell, Chairman of Connecticut State Council of Defense. Richard M. Bissell, the chairman of the Connecticut State Councll of De- fense, contributes the following state- ment as one of the series of “Made- in-Connecticut War Interviews’ being made public by the council through the newspapers. Mr. Bissell's answer to this questian follows: “The question is asked: ‘Why are we at war ' That question is a strange one when we stop to consider the spe- cific and wanton injuries and insults which were inflicted upon us by Ger- many and patiently borne during a pe- riod exceeding two years in duratior. During this time the armed forces of Germany murdered American citizens, sank American ships engaged in pe fectly lawful undertakings, and made but vague and cvasive replies to our demands for redre When the lan- | guage and tone of our protests became cevere, ASSUrances were given but were promptly broken when Germany's plan of campaign made a resumption of her attacks upon us worth while in her eyes. Germany was at the same time actually plotting the dismember- | ment of this country “No nation with r ent Lo defend its ¢ ources and pow er suf tence has ever sa patiently and for so time maintained peace in the face of such continuous and unrequited insult and injury. with other countries and the writin and spoken words of highly influentia German officials and professors have made it impossible to doubt that the German autocracy planned the econ- omic and palitical mastery of the world. One well-known German writ- er before the great war began de- scribed openly the military steps to be taken in case Germany should wish to “impose her will” upon America. Prior to our entrance into the great war cvidence multiplied that the time | had come when the free nations of the world must band together to fight for the ideals of democratic govern- ment. The time had come when the issue of the great war was plainly whether an irresponusible autocracy should hold the civilized nations of the world in a state of virtual vassal- age or whether those nations and pea- ples to whom Liberty is dear should put it forever beyvond the power of that autocracy to carry out its plan for world.wide supremacy. No na- tion, great or small, it seems to me, ever took up the sword in a juster cause or one where the issues were so important.” Ar. Rissell added “We were slow HARTFORD OF HIGH EST FRASHION FALL MILLINERY Opening Days All This Week A Millinery Opening at this store is an event fashion watch and wait for, and the throngs of people that visit these days show that these exquisite Hats have more than won the people’s appreciation. ‘The host of admiring women who have seen this display have been unanimous on one point, that beyond comparison this season’s showing of Millinery surpasses in size, brilliancy, style and variety any millinery assemblage that we have ever shown. ; The showing is complete.
