Red Cross Wants Com
fort Kits for Soldiers

In nearly every department of this
great war for democracy somebody,
somewhere, can play a part The
country needs practically two million
comfort kits for the boys who have to
go to the trenches to fight our war Of
democracy against plutocracy. Any
philanthropic woman in the country
can aid this work. Do you want to
be one of the women and help the
cause?
Half a million practical circulars on
the making of comfort kits and bags
have been issued by the American Red
Cross. The circulars can be obtained
On application to any Red Cross Chap
ter. A million comfort kits are to be
made at once for the men of our Army
and Navy. A million more will be
made for the Russian Revolutionary
Army, as pledge of cheer to the AL
lied Armies on the eastern front, The
Red Cross is to be under no expense
for these kits, all being provided as
! gifts from the women who wish to
make them.
Miss Florence Marshall, director of
the woman's bureau announced that
the circular embodied the suggestion
of the war department, of General
Pershing and of Major Grayson M. P.
Murphy as to what the men wanted.
Three types of kits are suggested, a
simple bag Withdraw strings, and two
with pockets, one for the trenches and
one suitable for hospital use. Any,
thing similar will be gladly welcomed
The kits are to be made of plain
khaki. Colored cretonne has not been
advised because it is dangerously Wis
ible when carried by troops at the
| front.
The circular is illustrated with dia
grams of each type of bag. It lists the
personal equipment given to each en-
listed man by the war department, II
order that women may not duplicate
these articles in filling the comfor,
kits. But it also notes that the regu
lar outfit Of any soldier is liable to be
lost or destroyed and that additions
supplies even of his necessities may
be welcome to him at the front.
The Red Cross commission II
France has advised about comfor
kits as follows: g.. IA 2 ST.. :.
"They should contain pipe and to
bacco pouch, handkerchiefs, wasI
cloths and soap, mouth.organ or game
pencil, writing paper or pad, and en-
velopes, and if not too expensive, sin
gle-bladed knife and spoon.

Two Mask Men Shoot
Pioneer Operator Through
Window Of G. n. Depot

Fargo, Sept. 19-Two masked men
shot and almost instantly killed
George Sheffield, second trick operator
at the Moorhead Great Northern de-
pot at l:15 this morning.
The, men, wearing blue handker-
chiefs as masks. appeared at the tick
ct window and called in to Sheffield
and r. E. Lesser, the other night man,
to hold up their hands.
Lesser. who had no weapon, put UP
his hands, and spoke to Sheffield, tell
ing him that he had better do the
same.
Sheffield, however, reached in a
drawer and took out his revolver,
which he snapped at the bandits. The
weapon was unloaded, and one of the
men shot through the window at Shelf
field.
The bullet penetrated his lungs, and
he fell to the floor, dying almost im-
mediately.
The robbers paid no further atten-
ton to their victim, but kept Lesser
covered with their revolvers, telling
him to give them the cash box, which
he did.
It contained about $45.
The robbers turned and ran out or
the depot and disappeared in the dark
ness.
No trace of them had been found up
to 2:3O this morning.
"A transient, giving the name Of H.
Iron, was arrested and is being de-
tanned in the Moorhead police station,
although the officers do not believe he
had anything to do with the shooting.
Iron claims to have arrived In Moor
head from New Rockford on train
which arrived few minutes after the
shooting and Chief Malvey is inclined
to believe the mans story. ~
George Sheffield, the murdered man,
is between IS and 60 years old, has
been a resident of Moorhead for 30
years and was one of the charter
members of the Masonic lodge OF that
city. He is survived by wife and
one child. daughter Lucy, who is
principal of the Third Ward school In
MOOrhead.

"They should be made of stout ma
terial so that they can be used in all
sorts of practical ways.
"They should have, if possible, an
American flag sewed on the outside"
Materials for making the kits can
be procured by the chapters from the
Red Cross division supply service. In
dividuals may purchase their mater
ials from the chapters or from local
retail stores Certain articles, like the
combination knives and spoons, may
be had from the division supply SER

The suggestion for hospital hits des-
cribes the making of a souvenier
pocket where the invalided soldier
may store his little collection of treas
ures which more often than not in
cludes scrap of shell or the bullet
that brought him to the hospital. No
playing cards are to be included in
the kits that go to Russia, and no
mouth-organs or knives and scissors
for the hospital kits.
