WIVES, STAY AWAY!
All Relative Warned to Beware) of
Cantonment Towns In United States.
St. Louis, A uk. IS. A campaign of
education to. warn relatives of sol
diers to remain away from canton
ment towns waa launched at a meet-
ins of Bed Cross workers held In Bt.
Louis Monday. Red Cross workers
from virtually every cantonment town
in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Okla
homa ud Texas were present. Alfred
Pair bank, director of civilian relief
tor the southwestern division of the
Red Cross, presided.
Stories of how young women fol
lowed their husbands to military
camps and as a result suffered many
hardships were told by the -workers.
Many of these youn- women were
left stranded and destitute when the
soldiers were ordered to coast towna
to embark for France. Theie soldiers
were without funds and could do
nothing for their wives. The Red
Cross cared for many of these penni
less women and sent them to their
homes at great expense.
In some cases the young wives met
with sad experiences which exposed
them to all the dangers of a young wo
man in a strange city.
Many workers said soldiers were too
timid to write relatives warning them
to remain away from the camp be
cause they feared they would create
the Impression that they no longer
cared for them. In these Instances Red
Cross workers at the camp, thru home
service agents of the Red Cross chap
ter. In the soldiers' home, convinced
these relatives to forego the trip.
Falrbank said that aa a result af
the meeting he hojxd to keep many
women from the camps. Ha said all
Red Cross workers would be asked to
notify wives, sisters and mothers not
to visit cantonments because of the
uncertain conditions, lack of accom
modations, the high cost of living and
the gathering in some Instances of
vicious persons In cantonment towns.
The soldiers In addition will be
asked to warn their relatives against
leaving home and special pleas will
be made at such gatherings aa possi
ble' asking relatives aid the" govern
ment in sustaining the morale of the
soldiers by remaining away from the
camps.
The workers at the meeting said
they very seldom came In contact with
a case in which the soldier wanted a
relative to visit hii. The soldiers in
most Instances wer; - afraid to warn
relatives not to matte the trip for fear
of incurrlns their displeasure. In such
instances soldiers are advised to take
the matter up with Red Cross workers
at their camps.
