Dr. Garfield began his work in charge of the fuel situation in the first wee of September. Within a month he was in difficulties over the situation in his home state of Ohio, where mayors of cities were commandeering coal that passed through because there -was none in town; and since then the problems which his admin- istration has had to struggle with have steadily grown more involved and ex- tensive. .

Somg of these people are in France, others daily cross the Swiss border. A recent cablegram from Paris states that an average of 250 children arrive daily from behind the German at Evianle-Bain and that “in the week of the Ame can dispensary over 2,400 chil were examined, more than 1,900 being between the s of three and thirtee years.” The refugees are destitu and ill. They must be given both fooc and clothing before being sent on their “billets” in varicus towns an village The French government which is putting all its force into the fighting line cannot care for these wrecks of war. They depend for all the first needs of life, for food, shelter and clothing, upon the American Red Red Cross will continue to meet these heavy respansibilities as long the people in America stand behind it with money and supplies. It is calling upon its newest members, the girls and boys in the school auxi- liaries to clothe these children and their parents. The American children are assured that not an atom of their work will be wasted. Every garment turned in to the Red Cross for this ! purpose adds to some refugee's fight- ing chance for life. The Red Cross association says: “Keep in constant touch with the ne: t Red Cross chapter to find out what articles are most needed.
