MISS ANNE MORGAN APPEALS TO OKLAHOMA
WOMEN—URGES THEIR HELP IN "FOR
FRANCE} WEEK.''
If the people of your good state could see the distress-
ingly pitiful condition of the people in the devastated area in
France, 1 know that they would give quickly and generously.
And let me emphasize this fact; that unless quick and gen-
erous aid does come from America, great numbers will die
from malnutrition. Your Fourth of July program is splendid
I sincerely trust the women of your state will actively sup-
port the effort you are heading, because after all this is
largely a woman's organization and our work is for women,
children and the home."
(Signed) ANNE MORGAN.
The above cable was received by J. J. McGnw, State
Chairman of the American Committee for Devastated France,
Where the Committee Is Working.
from Miss Anne Morgan, Vice President an«i Commissioner
for France of the American Committee for Devastated France.
In an accompanying statement Mr. McGraw says:
"As Miss Morgan points out this organization is largely
a woman's organization. It is interesting to know that of
the more than one hundred field workers in France, each one
is a woman. In addition, $250,000 of the budget lor this year
goes to the American Woman's Hospital, which conducts
thirteen free dispensaries, hospital, medical and nursing serv-
ice to the 50,000 inhabitants in that portion of the province of
the Aisne assigned to this Committee.
About the <>n!y thing mere man has to do with this or-
ganization is where officials of the French government ap-
prove all efforts undertaken, and where members of the Na-
tional organization approve the expenditures and help to
secure the funds on which the organization runs The work,
as stated in Miss Morgan's cable, is done largely by women
f$r women and children and for the home.
"A returned soldier, who during the German drive, a
little more than a year ago. was assigned to this Committee
to help evacuate the inhabitants, tells of his experiences as
follows:
"VThe inhabitants appear to worship Miss Morgan and
her workers. Time after time in evacuating people from the
villages, the Germans would be within a mile—once they werr
within a half mile of us The peasants would ijot want to
leave, or if they were willing to go, they would want to take
all kinds of ridiculous things with them ; such as wheelbar-
rolcs. goats, chickens and clocks. They would pav no atten-
tion to what I or my associates would tell them, but it never
took more than thirty seconds for one of Miss Morgan's
workers Miss Morgan herself to convince them they they
should hurriedly get into the waiting machines. They would
follow the workers of this Committee around like dogs, ready
to <Jo anything they were told, accepting their judgment at
all times, no matter what the question might be.'
"Perhaps the above is partlv the reason that the French
government has seen fit to award the croix de guerre to Miss
Morgan and fifteen of her field workers
"Women in Oklfchoma who are not able to perform such
service abroad, can perform a most necessary and valuable

month, while the exportation of fin-
ished manufacturers in the fiscal
year immediatly preceding the war
averaged but $61,000,000 per month,
while the exportation of
In the last six months for which
figures are now avalfcble, finished
manufacturers have been going out
of the country at the rate of $6,300,-

fore the war they went out at the
rate of about $2,000,000 per day.
In the other group cf manufac-
tures, classed as "manufacturers for
further use in manufacturing," there
has also been an increase bjit not as
great as in the class "manufacturers
ready for consumption. Of the group
"manufacturers for further use )n
manufacturing." the exports after the
war have averaged about $2,500,-
000 per day, while in the year pre-
ceding the war they averaged about
$1,000,0000 per day. ,
