buns. \\ e want every Red Cross
\ oiker to understand the situation as
it gradually develops, so that we may)
have that cooperation on tin part of
everyone that goes with a true un
derstanding of Red Cross aims and
purposes. We have, therefore, set
down below at some length a sum
marized amount of the work up to
the present time and of the problems
now before us.
"Our Entry Into the War
"When this country made its entry
into the war the lied Cross saw the
necessity ol providing great quanti
ties of articles which could he made
l.v tile chapter workers, such as sur
vival dressings, hospital garments,
knitted comforts and the like. In
formation as to types of these arti
cles was circulated throughout tlie
chapters and tentative estimates of
tin- quantities which were to be pro
duced were relied upon in arranging
tor the purchase of the necessary raw
materials, such as gauze, cotton, yarn,
etc
"Plans for instructing workers in
the production of the various articles
were rapidly made effective In a
surprisingly short time the chapters
v ere turning out enormous quantities
ef all these articles In the t|,'tntime
the Hed Cross organizations- sift1 In
specting, transporting and distribut
ing these products to the points of
reed was being developed.
"it was not humanly possible af
the outset to make any dependable
Iimales of the quantities and rela
tive proportions in which the various
f inds ol articles should he produced.
The lied Cross commissions, when
i)u-\ took tip their work abroud, and
our department of military relief,
'eating with the ramps and canton
ments in tins country, understood
1 from fhe lirst the necessity. Irotn
every point of view, of making these
■ estimates. Tii.' liilticullles of making
estimates at all reliable must lie oh
v ion . to all. It reunited time and
opportunity to study the situation
trout every angle so as to lie -are. in
the end. that they had given due
weight to all of the perplexing plumes
of the problem.
■While these studies were being
1 made the lied Cross was convinced
that it would lie wise to spare no
pains to he ready for any dent.mil that
might he made upon it. and while »*i
have increased our knowledge of the
problem month hv month, the tremen
dous production of all those articles
lias been going on in every part of
.lie country, so that we have, thus

one way or another all of the do

trenteudous proportions that it seems
almost Impossible ever to figure on
having too much of anything con

Chapters produce
' If there was no limit to the amount
of raw material available in the conn
try and the shipping spate which
might he used to transport the com
pleted articles to tin* point of need,
the policy of almost unlimited pro
duction might he justified. Hut there
js a limit, and a very definite limit,
to resources, both of material and
transportation, and so it is not only

entire production as rapidly as possi
