Red Cross Requests
Speedier Output of
Surgical Dressings
Capital's Contributions
To War Relief Fund
Reach $32,851
Contributions to the Red
Cross war relief fund will be
received and acknowledged in
the news columns if sent to the
cashier’s office at The Star.
Washington "surgical dressing units
preparing supplies for Europe today
wefre working under orders from the
District Red Cross Chapter to in
crease production, while local con
tributions to the relief fund reached
$32,851.11.
Otto S. Lund, chapter manager,
called on all units to speed up the
output in an effort to fill this week’s
quota of 118.400 dressings of six types
and to meet an emergency quota of
20.000, special types for the British
Red Cross.
Contribution of $1,600,000 through
out the Nation has been reported.
This figure failed to indicate the full
extent of the country’s response to
'the $10,000,000 appeal, for only 800
of the 3,700 Red Crpss chapters have
made reports.
Supplies Speeded.
Among those meeting with the
Finnish Surgical Dressing Unit here
yesterday was Mme. Hjalmar Pro
cope, wife of the Minister of Fin
land.
“It Is urgent,” she said, “that we
make these surgical dressings as
quickly as possible. Red Cross sup
plies at the New York shipping cen
ter are being dispatched so fast
that volunteers must speed up pro
duction.”
The Finnish unit, composed of
about 50 members, has met since
hostilities began and has already
made 23,810 surgical dressings.
Among those from whom con
tributions have been received here
are Countess Laszlo Szenhenyi and
Countess DeLimur, who sent $1,000
each. The Edgar Morris Sales Co.
reported 100 per cent of its em
ployes have contributed.
Dressings Rushed by Plane.
Progress of the Nation-wide drive
was announced by Red Cross Chair
man Norman H. Davis as some rare
supplies needed in brain surgery
and 1.800 pounds of surgical dress
ings poured into Prance after be
ing rushed across the Atlantic by
Clipper plane.
Mr. Davis also announced that the
first “mercy ship,” laden with $1,,
000.000 worth of supplies, would be
sent to France early in June. The
United States Maritime Commission
informed the Red Cross head that
it would make available either the
Artegas or the McKeesport, both of
8,000 to 9.000 ton capacity, which
are under charter to the United
States Lines but not Government
owned.
Mr. Davis explained that the Red
Cross decided to charter an Amer
ican vessel when officials learned
that the plight of 5,000,000 French
and Belgian refugees was so desper
! ate' that the organization could not
I risk the delay which might occur
\ if the supplies were intrusted to a
i foreign vessel.
i “We are concentrating our relief
i in France because the greatest need
j exists there,” Mr. Davis said. “The

BANDAGES FOR EUROPE—The men of the diplomatic corpa In Washington are not the only
busy ones these days. Their wives are working feverishly for suffering refugees as part of the
American Red Cross war relief activities (Shown here, meeting with the Finnish surgical dressing
unit yesterday, are (left to right) Mme. Erkki Mikkola and Mme. Risto Solanko, wives of secre
taries of the Finnish Legation; Mme. Hjalmar Procope, wife of the Finnish Minister, and Mme.
Jorgen Galbe, wife of the Counselor of the Norwegian Legation. —Star Staff Photo.
be used in those countries which
need it and have asked for it. The
German Red Cross has informed
us that Germany will take care of
her own needs and does not need
our assistance. Therefore, none of
the funds being contributed in the
present campaign will be used# for
German relief.’ ’
Refugees' Plight Described.
The Red Cross made public a cable
received from Wayne Chatfield-Tay
lor, Red Cross delegate to Europe,
graphically describing the scenes as
the tide of refugees rolled into
Paris.
“The roads and railways into
Paris from the west and north are
crowded with refugees, old men,
women and children,” he wrote.
“Whole families who have been on
the road four and five days arrive
with their feet bloody and legs
swollen. Many had walked 80 miles.
“In one small first-aid room in
a Paris railroad station. I talked
with four parents, whose children
died on the way.
“As this pitiful stream of refugees
poured through the railroad station
the wounded were sent to the first
aid room, where the wives of two
French generals, now at the front,
were directing the Red Cross aid.
These women were washing the
bleeding and blistered feet of French
and Belgian peasants.
“The calm and efficient way the
refugees are being handled is as
tounding. French and Belgian Boy
Scouts are especially helpful in the
Red Cross first-aid rooms.
“American, Belgian, Dutch, French
and English Red Cross all working
side by side. The American Friends
of France, of which Anne Morgan
is head, and many other American
groups are co-operating effectively
with the American Red Cross.
"Americans who lived in France
during the World War and witnessed
refugee scenes then, say the present
influx of refugees is much more
appalling, and the end is not in
sight.”
