HEADWEAR. -.XT RED CROSS WILL NOT CEASE ACTIVITIES YET Members Are Urged to Continue Until tke Soldiers and Sailors Come - Home and War Ends The Red Cross organization . has not discontinued its work with the cessa tion of hostilities, and all chapters have been urged to-carry on their ac tivities for the present. The Icrcal chapter has a large allotment of sup-. plies to complete. It announces that workers are badly needed at the rooms on Orange street and urges that ladies of the city respond to the call for as sistance and lend their efforts toward completing the chapter's allotment. The Wilmington Red Cross chapter, it is stated, has never failed to fill its allotments and the workers should not relax now and allow the chapter to fall down just when the end is almost in sight. The work-rooms are open from 10 to 1 and from 3 to 5 o'clock every day. The first meeting of the new board of .directors of the Red Cross chapter was held at noon Wednesday in the assembly hall of the chamber of com merce. A large attendance was pres ent. During the meeting a report was made on the activities of the woman's motor corps recently organized here to assist in Red Cross and other wel fare work. The corps now has a mem bership of 25. A member of the motor corps with her automobile is stationed at Red Cross headquarters each day for the service of the chapter and Red Cross workers. The motor corps has assisted materially during the war work campaign by distributing pos ters over the city. During last week alone, it is stated members of the mo tor corps traveled over 400 miles in Red Cross and commuaiity welfare work. Miss May Ella Rankin was elected captain of the motor corps, and Miss Ruth Stiles was chosen as adjutant. The two lieutenants of the corps are Mis3 Elsa Bluethenthal and Mrs. Murrell. Membership in the motor 1 corps is open to all women able to drive automobiles. Prospective mem bers should apply at Red Cross mili tary relief headquarters, room 406 Murchison bank building. The duties of the Red Cross are not ..finished with the corning of peace, de clares the Red Cross war council at Washington, which has issued the fol lowing statement urging Red Cross members to continue their work: "The moment is now come to pre pare for peace. Actual peace may come at any moment; it may be de ferred for sometime. Until peace is really here there can be no relaxation in any Red Cross effort incident to active hostilities. "But, even with peace, let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of Ameri can boys are still under arms. Thous ands of them are sick or wounded. Owing to the shortage in shipping, it may take a year or more to bring our boys home from France. But what ever the time, our protecting arms must be about them and their families over the whole period which must elapse before the normal life of peace can be resumed. "Our soldiers and sailors are enlist ed until the commander in chief tells them there is no more work for them to do in the war. Let every Red Cross member and worker show our return ing soldiers and sailors that to care for their health, welfare and happi ness, we are enlisted for no less a period than they are. "The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery snch as the world has never seen before, especially in i the many countries which can not help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as their agent n repairing broken spirits and broken bodies. Teace terms and peace conditions will deter mine how we may best minister to the vast stricken areas which have been harrowed by war, and in this great act of mercy, the heart and spirit of the American people must continue to be mobilized through the American Red Cross."
