    "ocrText": "-2-\nMiss Samuels had it under consideration, but has finally\ndeclined.\nI am now working on the filing cards\nand such ther material as we will need at that point.\nWe are referring all calls and Miss Johnson is doing the\nbest' she can to record them.\nI am sending you a copy of the informa-\ntion concerning the \"silver service band\" for home duty\nwhich is what I think you desired. We have also gotten\nout the names of all those who were employed at National\nHeadquarters for more than six months who would be entitled\nto the service badge which has been especially designed for\nthe personnel lat National Headquarters.\nI note that you sailed on the same steamer\nwith Dr. Finley so that I infer you were able to discuss\nvery froin question Paris. anzious She to provida states personnel that nurses Miss for Hay the is other taking Hall commissions a seems few to\nthe of with him. Miss be\nnurses\nto the Balkan States \"probably as many as twenty\", and that\nshe is probably going to get ten nurses off to Russia before\nthe and of this month so there would appear to be no diffi-\nculty in securing an adequate number for Dr. vinley. Miss\nHall makes the following statement which is very perplexing,\nfor me, for like you, I cannot understand why the Y.W.C.A.,\nthe Fund for French Wounded, the American Committee for\nDevastated France and not the Catholic Womens' Organization\ncan send personnel without difficulty and apparently they\nare wanted.\n\"The Commissioner tells me that the work in\nItaly is being brought to a conclusion hambly as\nrapidly as in France. I think I have already written\nthat the work of the Red Cross in France in both the\ntheChildren's Bureau and the Bureau of Tuberculosis will\nbe brought to a conclusion by the lst of April. I wish\nI could make you understand how little the French either\nwant or need us at the present time. In spite of the\ncordiality of their welcome of President Wilson, it is\nmade apparent to us that they\nhanve their country. It is not that they do not app-\nreciate what we have tridd to do for them, but if you\ncould see this country as it is, over-run even to the\nremotest corners, with Americans who arebibuying out the\nfood, usurping the places on street cars, trains and\ntheatres, everywhere in France, you would be able to\nappreciate their desire to have their country to them-\nselves. I think that all me bers of the Red Cross or-\nganization have mo re and more the feeling that the sooner\nwe which can wind up affairs - doing this in the spirit in\nwe began work - the better it will be."
