The whole world knows what the Red Cross has done in time of war; it is a work which will go down in his tory as the greatest monument to or ganized humanitarianism that the world has ever known. Indeed, so per fect is the organization that the Gov ernment will avail itself of its impor tant features in order to perpetuate the good work of the Red Cross and adapt it to the growing needs of the people of this country as well as to those in the stricken countries over seas. In the various Red Cross Chapters the productive work will be most ac tively continued, and the change from the making of surgical dressings to the producing of the urgently needed refugee garments is but a natural transition und one which will be ac- Onr nice, neat ladies' desk would make a ne Christmas present.

In the field of Home Service new impetus has been given to the work by army demobilization plan. In pursuance of specific directions from General Munson, Chief of Mo rale Branch, General Staff, all men are being notified, before they leave camp that they should, on reaching home, apply to Red Cross. Home Ser vice Sections for advice and assis tance in personal problems and for current information as to Government plans, as formulated, for replacement in industry, re-education, etc. . Home Service Sections must there fore continue to keep in close touch with the Division; and in reference to the families of those soldiers who are still retained in service, must nowise relax their vigilance and service. The man's absence leaves the obligations Corps members will be continued. No one feature of Red Cross work in war has been more important than the Nursing Service and it is of "deep significance to note that the Depart ment of Nursing, with the mobilization of trained nursing service and the Chapter organizations of women, have the tremendous responsibility and opportunity of carrying universal health education to every highway and byway throughout the Division. Home Nursing, Dietetics, Physical Training, and many other agencies, which in crease efficiency and happiness, should be made available to every individual; and, as the Department of Nursing has discharged beyond all expectations its responsibilities in War, so may it also be able to carry through the coming months the message of health for in creased efficiency throughout the Di vision, and a deeper appreciation of the grave responsibilities of Peace.

No families must be allowed to suffer. Closely allied with the work of the Home Service Department is that of Military Relief, which has done an infinite amount to improve the con ditions and better the lives of the sol diers at camp, cantonment and hospi tal, and the Canteen Service, together with the Motor Corps, have been in structed that the work of each shall continue as at present until the demo bilization of the army shall have so reduced the number of men at the va rious camps that the services of the Department of Military Relief will not be needed. At those camps where military hos pitals are maintained It Is believed that the hospitals will be continued because of absolutely necessary con ditions. The service of the depart ment of Military Relief will, therefore, be continued in its entirety until such time in the future as the Home Ser vice and Hospital work in the camps will be discontinued. The Canteen work will be three fold: 1. All demobilized men will be met on their homeward journey. 2. These men will also be met in their home towns and given a cordial wel come by this department. 3. The wounded on the way to hospital will be met on their journeys and cared for as needed. The Motor Service will also con tinue its work as at present and as all demands upon this division which were made by war will still be in force during the immediate future as well as in the actual present, the val uable services rendered by the Motor a mobilization of the resources of youth for the needs of peace. To in spire and instruct the young of our nation in the beauty of service, and to vitalize these instructions by prac tical work was an exalted undertaking. It is one which the Junior Red Cross will continue and encourage and which deserves the support and co-operation of every adult in the land. This brief outline of the plans and purposes of the Red Cross means that the Department of Development of the Southern Division has been instructed to relax no efforts to increase the ,scope of usefulness of the various Red Cross Chapters for it has been ex pressly stated that the workers of the Red Cross will not be allowed to over look the new and increased tasks that will be imposed upon it. As the or ganization is one not confined to the needs of war, so its work will be ex tended to cover the emergencies as well as the normal demands of peace. Hence the Department of Develop ment feels that its work may be chang ed but in no way lessened. To insure success, development is imperative; to stand still means to retrogade and no department of the Red Cross essen tial to peace work will be permitted to endanger its scope, its usefulness or its influence. APPEAL FOB SOLDIER'S XMAS. To the Good People of North Carolina: Christmas is coming and will find a large number of soldiers, here in Camp Jackson, many of whom will be lonesome and unhappy.
