Tonight the Red Cross installs a canteen at the Gare des Invalides, where neither vestiaire nor canteen has yet heen installed. This, our most generous friends at home, is real emergency work. It can't be done tomorrow or next week, but is to be done now, to- day. Our stores will dwindle, our hig boxes of civilian clothing empty like magic as camion after camion re- turns to the Alcazar for a new load. Please help us, and through us, this so sorely tried population of the Aisne and Marne. And remember that "who gives quickly gives twice" John McEven, 548 Cherry street, giving all his time to the government work in: U. S. Shipbuilding Board, Emergency Fleet Corporation, Chica- go. is + Lawrence Ambrose Henderson has been transferred from the Great Lakes naval training station to New London, Connecticut.
