Thus, by the end of the year the Committee had taken a number of measures to take stock of its activities and draw up reports.

Now the establishment of the Union. cover the front with thick snow: at the end of December, over 1,200 institutions were working on the southwestern front®! Union, totaling
_ complexity of about four and a half thousand employees, including workers and orderlies. }
The work has gone beyond the scope that was initially set: the Committee is no longer limited to helping sick and wounded soldiers, but also carries out other tasks.
At the initiative of the Committee, the collection of leather for the front was properly organized. The committee rendered a great service to the army by supplying leather to organizations working for military units and taking upon itself the production of leather goods.
The Committee organized nutrition for trench workers, opened hundreds of nutrition centers with this Central Bank and provides medical assistance to them.
Finally, by establishing its own mechanical workshops, the Committee took part in supplying the army and in the defense of the country.
In this way, a close connection is established between the Committee of the Southwestern Front and Arsha. We can say with confidence that the All-Russian Land Union is doing great, absolutely necessary work here.
