Women Seek Way

To Aid Wounded — New Chungking Club Meets To Study Problems Brought Up By New Phase of War

Chungking, Nov. 2.

The newly-formed Chungking International Women's Club held its second meeting at 2.30 p.m. today, when 70 to 80 Chinese and foreign women were present, the majority being Chinese.

Professor W. B. Cheng addressed them on the problems and care of wounded Chinese soldiers, stating that this new phase of the war, without railway communications. has brought new needs to the people.

More than twenty stations where wounded soldiers can be rested en route to the rear, are being prepared on several selected main roads. In the meantime, however, the chief need is clothing and bedding.

At the gathering a resolution was passed to the effect that a eommittee is to be appointed to take charge in the manufacture of these necessities in collaboration with three other bodies.

The club has an ambitious programme, and the members' activities include social service, child training, language study, music, handicrafts, cooking, sports literature, Chinese studio:

and international relations.—
