KEEP ON KNITTING,
ADVISES
FRIENDS OF NAVY

SISTER Susis's sewing" is not to be
interrupted by the controversy be-
tween tn Navy League and Secretary
Daniels. r
This was made plain today when
100000 girls and women throughout
the United States received instrue-
president of the league, to go right
along with their knitting, as ar
rangements had been made to get the
socks, sweaters, wristlets, and other
articles to the sailors through ac-
ceptable channels.
Delivery VIII be Made.
In his letter to the workers, Colonel
Thompson wrote that Mrs. James
Carroll Frazer, of 1916 Sixteenth
street, acting as an individual, would
secure the delivery OF the garments
to the ships that you may designate
The letter was written by Colonel
Thompson because OF Secretary Dan
iels' statement that the navy would
accept nothing from the league as an
organization, or from its officers.
Colonel Thompson also advised the
workers that the league would con-
tinue to furnish knitting instructions,
pictures, and samples OF WOOL ana
would act as purchaser OF wool "Ali
officers OF the league will act in their
personal capacities in helping the
work" said Colonel Thompson in his
letter.
Much Already Accomplished.
The concluding paragraph Of his
letter follows:
Remember that the Navy League
stands for loyalty and patriotic en-
deavor, and do not for one moment
slacksn in the work that you have
done for our sailors. and please accept
nv assurance that there is no founda'
ton for the charges made against the
Navy League by Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels"
Reviewing the work OF the league,
Colonel Thompson said that the girls
and women had already knitted 15o,.
900 garments for American sailors and
also contributed 10000 garments to
the men in the British, French, and
Russian navies, He says "our allies
are pressing US to supply them with
additional garments for their sailors."

RAFT|NG.F|RENEN
IS DANGER TO CITY,
WAGNER DECLARES

Declaring the drafting OF members
OF the Fire Department will result in
decreased efficiency and a correspond
ing increase in loss OF life and damage
by IRE. Chief Frank J. Wagner has
prepared an appeal to be entered IN
the case Of every local fireman. The
Police Department is preparing a sim
ilar form OF appeal for its drafted
members.
Eleven men IN the Fire Department
and sixteen in the Police Department
were summoned in the FIRST call.
THE officers and men Of the Fire
Department" Chief Wagner states In
his appeal, "are now required to re-
main at their station twenty four
hours q day with the exception OF
three hours Q day allowed for meals
and every fifth day Off This CON
finement has resulted in great dIscon-
tent among the members. The. draft
from the ranks OF the Fire Depart
ment men for service in the army
means, II the District is unable to Sc
cure men to fill their places. that the
hardships at present endured by the
men will be increased.
THE vast interests Of the Govern
ment OF the United States in the Dis
trict OF Columbia. representing mill
lions OF dollars and records which
could not possibly be replaced, are
dependent solely upon the Fire De-
partment OF the District for protec-
ton from ire. Any loss In the effi-
cheney Of the Fire Department, there
fore, means a corresponding decrease
not only in the IRE protection afford
ed the citizens Of the District, but in
the protection afforded the Govern
ment OF the United States itself.
