GOMPLIMENT FOR RELIEF WORKERS Surgical Dressings Committee Praised for Unselfish Efforts The Surgical Dressings committee, organized under the National Civie League at the beginning of the war, has now been disconnected and be- come an auxillary of the American Red Cross. The work of this com- mittee has proved its value ag can be seen by the following endorsement, sent by the officlals to all surgical dressing workers. The local branch of this committee is continuing its work with constantly increasing en- thusiasm and consequently increasing output. About 7,000 dressings are shipped each month. The work rooms will be open Monday, Tuesday, ‘Wednesday and Thursday mornings and Wednesday afternoons at 169 Vine street. One hour of your time will make about 30 dressings and a dollar will pay for them. Telephone the chairman and offer your time or your dollars. Mrs, H. B. Humason, chairman, 201 Vine street, telephone 1876. Mrs.: Marcus White, treasurey, 99 Forest street, telephone 945. { Mrs. Willlam S. Rowland, secretary, 291 Lincoln street, telephone 1958. The official communication from The New England Surgical Dressings committee, auxiliary of the American Red Cross and the endorsement by the American Red Cross follows: The Surgical Dressings commit- mittee of the National Civic Fed- eration, New England section, has voted to become an auxiliary of the American Red Cross, with the understanding that the pres- ent organization will continue to direct its activitles. The exist- ing high standard of the dressings will be kept up and they will be shipped as heretofore. Being smaller and, therefore, more mobile, we are able to fill definite orders from special sur- geons at the front. There will be . a continued effort to develop dressings and methods to meet the improvements which con- stantly occur in modern surgery. Our branches, which have con- tributed such excellent dressings in ever increasing volume, will continue to send their product to the Peter Bent Brigham hospital, where the receiving and packing { two-story frame dwelling, station will continue to operate. The continuance of the co- operation of the branches and the financial support of the public are both needed to enable us to con- tinue the supply of dressings, and, if possible to increase their num- ber, for the use of our Allies and of our own men in France, We urge all those who have taken an interest in the matter of dressings to continue their ac- tivities to the utmost possible ex- tent. The shipments have now risen to a million dressings a month, but even this great vol- ume is far from sufficient to sup- ply the needs of the wounded, to whose number some of our own men may soon be added. Those who contribute their work or their money may be sure they will be usefully applied, and that there is no difference be- tween the aims of the American Red Cross and its new auxiliary, the Surgical Dressings committee. MARGARET D. CORKE. Acting Chairman. The American Red Cross endorses all that the Surgical Dressings com- mittee says in its Circular under this same enclosure, and will ask that all chapters, branches and auxiliaries of the Red Cross earnestly co-operate with the Surgical Dressings commit- tee where they have the opportunity. The sole aim of both organizations is the greatest possible output of the highest quality of dressings and we feel that this can best be accom- plished through the affiliation just ar- ranged. The American Red Cross should, of course, conform to the standards as set forth in the A. R. C."War Manual, No. 401, but wherever better work can be accomplished by joining a | surgical dressings committee branch, such affiliation will'receive the entire approval of the Red Cross. All surgical dressings are shipped through Red Cross channels, and &l ultimately find their way to the same place—our wounded soldiers and those of the allied nations. The bes! way, therefore, to achleve the object | for which we all are working, is for everyone making surgical dressings to co-operate and help each other ip every possible way.

I ex- pect to be at the front in a few days as there is every indication of a big drive and all the ambulances will be needed. Now I am going to tell you what I have been doing since I left England. “On Tuesday night we met a Mr. and Mrs. Graham. He is general man- ager of the Famous Players Film company and he is superintending the taking of another of Griffith’s big pro- ductions. We sat around and talked for a while and then went to the Savoy Cabaret. That is one of the bizg hotels in London. The next day was ‘American Day’. We had a big time. The English people used us great I sent you some clippings from London papers. After the parade we went to the station to go to Southampton to take the boat for Havre. It was almost impossible to get anywhere. Every- body wanted to speak to us. All want- ed a button for a souvenir. If we had let them they would have taken our clothes off I guess. “We got to Southampton about 7 o'clock and had to go before the cus- tom officials. They let us take our to- bacco through without duty, also you can send cigarcttes duty free. Pipe tobacco is taxed. If you send any send Camels or Lucky Strike cigarettes. “We went on the boat and had din- ner and then hung around until 10 p. m., when we steamed down the river to the English channel. There are hundreds of powerful searchlights playing around the skies everywhere in London and across the channel. There was an attempted air raid on London the night before we left. The Boche got within twenty miles of London and then the Tommies brought down two Zeppelins and the rest returned. Also night before last there was a raid on Parls. It was about two miles from where we are stationed. Fritz always knows when American troops are around and tries to blow us all up. “What Fritz fears most 1is the ‘Ladies from Hell'. That is what he calls'the Scotch in the kilts. When the ‘Ladies from Hell’ go over the top Fritz calls ‘Merci Kamarade' and throws down his gun. | make daily use orf Foot-Ease.

There was a freight wreck and we did not get to Paris until 12 noon, (three hours later). “The cars in France ride easier than those in England.

Mr. Whitbeck will speak at the Hartford High school, room 35, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Besides being teacher of geography at the University of Wisconsin Mr. Whitbeck is editor of the Journal of Here is a dance arrangement of the song that everybody is humming and whistling nowadays. It’s a dance paniculaxly popular just now because it fairly rings with martial vigor.
