A Statement to the Public. There is work ahead of a nature that will tax every re source we can muster. Large operations, such as the Syi-ian and Serbian relief opportunities to help in the care of tuberculous and convalescent prisoners in Switzerland loom large in the near future. .The almost daily calls of tlh'e great Red Cross societies, private organizations, and individuals who turn to us to help them bear their steadily increasing burdens, are a challenge to the generosity of the American people. - The changing tides of war must determine whither, the work or relief will turn. We must deal with situations as they arise. , Without your contribution, we cannot deal with them at all: the bitter pleas of a real .and actual need that come to us and through us to you must go unanswered.

Owing to the tremendous press ure on military hospitals in France to care for the thous ands of soldiers wounded in the violent fighting now in progress around Arras and in Champaigne, all available surgical dressing supplies that can be spared are being sent to Prance from the workrooms of the New York County Chapter of ttie American Red Cross. While this special need lasts, and perhaps for the entire war, the departments of foreign and American military relief of the large workroom maintained by the Chapter at 411 Fifth Avenue have been merged. Thus the output of the 1,200 and more workers there, amounting to more than 45,000 dressings a week, will be pooled for distribu tion at the discretion of the Central Committee of the Red Cross. Where gifts for designated countries are received th'ese will continue to be applied as before. How serious the situation '.abroad is, is' shown by this, bulletin that has just been received bv the American Red Cross: ' "For lack of sufficient dressings the wounds of soldiers on the battlefields of France are now being stopped in many cases with newspapers. Rather than bleed to death on the hattlefifiln mm run tlin r.-m.;vi -a i Ii . . . c i-cxiiujc usii or gangrene and other infection."

Another Red Cross shipment soon to go forward is an entire ambulance unit given by the American Cotton VY aste Exchange of Boston. This unit consists of twenty three automobile ambulances, kitchen trailer-wagons that can be attached to the cars, and the necessary supply trucks. The entire unit will be manned by Americans now abroad. "To our task we dedicate nnv li President W llson. "Let us make 'the bondholders' and 'the people'-interchangeable terms." Theodore Roosevelt.
