At the request of Herbert 1 Hoover, chairman of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, Henry P. Davi- < , son, chairman of the Red Cross War | Council, has granted the use of the na- ] tional Red Cross organization for col- i lee ting the needed clothing. 1 ] As the commission has allowed most ( , of its local committees to disband be j cause of the financial arrangements 1 made last June with the government, 1 it has turned to the Red Cross for ? help. Where the local committees of I the Relief Commission are still intact, they will work side by side with the Red Cross Chapters. The practically entire exhaustion of ' clothing, shoes, and leather in occupied 1 Belgium and Northern France and the t shortage of these necessities in the j c world's markets are making it in- s creasingly difficult for the Commission * to keep clothed and shod the unfortunate people in these territories. In addition to new material, gifts of used c and surplus clothing, shoes, blankets, f flannel cloth, etc., are needed in large i quantities from the people of the Unit- j ed States. p The donations will be shipped at once to the Atlantic seaboard and sent . overseas for distribution. CANTEEN SERVICE FOR : SIMMIES IN FRANCE Red Crocs To Serve Beys In The Front a Line Trenches The American Red Cross has just ^ arranged to establish with the American troops in France a front line can- 1 teen service similar to that through P which they have served more than p a million poilus with hot drinks during y the last six months, according to a j, cable just received by the War Coun- , ^ cil from Major James 11. Perkins, Red j Cross Commissioner to France. This will consist of rolling canteens P stationed close behind the front line t< trenches. There are now fifteen of these operating behind the French lines, froni which fifty or more large receptacles of hot drinks are sent forward daily, usually in the small hours of the morning. These drinks are u served free to the men going on or. n coming off duty. I. This service has proven of such! value to the French that the Ameri- _ can army has asked the Red Cross to have this service directly in touch ~ with the medical relief stations nearest the front The work is often done under heavy shell fire and requires men of great bravery and sympathy. The American army officers are man ifesting a keen interest in having this service at the disposal of the American troops and have asked the Red Cross ' to enlist a substantial number of men 1* of the highest cal'ber to undertake ! this work. It will be performed at the point nearest the tiring line at which j. civilians are permitted. ^ NURSES NEEDED IN MILITARY HOSPITALS Surgecn General Asks Red Cross To Supply 5,000 Nurses Surgeon General Gorgas of the United States army has called upon ? the American Red Gross to supply tc the Army Nurse Corps five thousand nur?es between now and the first ol June. These nurses are needed foi service in the military hospitals both in this country anil abroad. Mtliough \ the Red Cross has already supplied u-ariy < .m?u nurs?\i as a reserve for the Army ami Navy Nurse Corps since i lie beginning of the war, the intpera tive neeil for a greater army of nurses grows daily as the war progresses. According to a statement made by Surgeon General Gorgas, it is estimated that there are between eighty and ninety thousand registered nurses in the United States, and that approximately thirty thousand will be need- j ed for service in army hospitals during the present year. The immediate need for five thousand of these is emphasized. Miss Jane A. Delano, Director of the Department of Nursing of the At>v?ri-1 ecu Red Cross said: ( "Not only are we appealing to the nurses to volunteer for this service, i but we also appeal to the public and to * 1 the physicians em ' " tig these nurses ! to aid in making ossible for them, i without too great financial sacrifice 1 on their part, to hold themselves la readiness to respond to the call of their country. We wish also to bring to the attention of nurses the unusual I opportunity offered by the insurance 1 law enacted for the protection of our i army and navy, which applies equally 1 to nurses assigned to duty as members I of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps. "A great responsibility rests upon I j the nurses of the country. They are ! | the only group of women recognized ' as a part of the military establishment, ! and should be looked upon as the rep| resentatives of the womanhood of ! Amrrien at the front 'Not only should the othrr wor <?j: of the country encourage nurse* to volunteer for service, but they sh i?' | make every efTo- > lh'e i ? . the nurr.es hold us t,'.- >i >vo* ro-i 'V for sefvice and shnr 1 with 'hem r!?? sponsibili'y an l rtr.--fi?-e; nere--s;irv ' ^ Will Enforce Food Laws I From time to time the Food Administration has given the people of this State various rules anTl regulations. issued by the authorities in Washington. Just at this moment the chief drive is to conserve wheat. The authorities in Washington are trying j umau a voluntary saving, but it the Aim icau people do not respond, uiore Iv.isth' measures may tiave u be taken.
