THE WOMEN URGED
 TO KEEP ON KNITTING
(By Letter.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.-Harvey D. Gibson, General Manager of the American Red Cross, authorizes the following statement:-
 "A great number of inquiries are being received by the Red Cross from women knitters throughout the United States as to whether they should dis continue knitting.
 "The Red Cross, therefore desires Ito place before the women of this country it's conception of the knitting situat t;ol. As it is well known it is the
 '.y -t the Red Cross to supplement 70 far &s it has the power, the efforts of the Army and Navy in conserving the health and comfort of our sold iers and sailors, either in this country or abroad.
 Sweaters and other knitted articles are designed primarily for warmth They are certainly not ornamental Therefore it must follow that when there is an almost universal demand on the part of our soldiers and sailors for sweaters and other knitted arti- cles the demand is a real one Such articles therefore, can only be classed as equipment, supplementary though they may be, to that furnished by the Army and Navy. And they undoubted- ly constitute equipment that will add greatly to the health and comfort of our men under conditions generally met with

DR. ANNA HOWARD
 SHAW MAKES CHRIST MAS APPEAL FOR
 HUNGRY ORPHANS

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman
 of the Wcmar's Committee of the Council of National Defense, is sending to the Caair.-an of the State Divis- ions of this Committee a Christmas Message. urging a sacrifice of person al interest in behalf of orphan chil- dren, hungry and cold, helpless and homeless in our own and foreign | lands"
 | Tt occurs to me-" reads the Mes sage. that there are two ways in which we may keep Christmas fresh and green in the memories of our children, and that this, of all the years of our lives, should be a children's Christmas year. It is our duty not only to keep the home fires burning but also to keep the hearts of our household cheerful and drive gloom and depression as far as possible from those who surround our hearth-fres.
 My experience with children since the beginning of the war has revealed the existence of a deep and even pas sionate patriotism, and there could be no greater use made of this Christ mas time than to teach these little ones the sublime lesson of giving which is far greater than that of re- ceiving Instead of dwelling upon the thought of gifts to be received, we should instil into their open minds the desire to make this season a time when they can serve their country and it's allies and aid in the successful winning of a world peace by uniting with their parents in unselfishly be- slowing upon others the gifts Cor their equivalenD which in times of peace they have themselves received.
 Orphan children, suffering from hunger and cold, who are helpless and homeless in our own and foreign lands are calling to us for this sacrifice for love of Him who said: 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these .ye have done it unto me-.
 Our children, I know, will respond to this appeal, which is made not only for the sake of those who may be be made glad through this sacrifice, but for their own sake.
 Tn the midst of the turmoil and the stress of war. of the discontent and distrust, the hatred and bitterness, we must use every opportunity to hold sacred the deeper things of the spirit and to keep our children in the atmos- phere of the real forces which will ultimately save humanity, and these are Faith, Hope and Love, the only sure foundation upon which rests the permanent peace of individuals or na tions.
 Then let our Committees every where throughout the Union do all
 in their power to aid in teaching the sublime lesson of the Master. that it is better to give than to receive"

other knitted articles. These goods can be obtained from the Red Cross in single garments only upon individ- ual request, or if in bulk, then upon the request of commanding officer. How great the need is, is best evidenc- ed by the fact that in addition to the hundreds of thousands of knitted ar ticles produced by our Red Cross chapters in the last few months we have been compelled to purchase 550,- GOO extar sweaters alone to meet the
 nsistant demand made upon us by our men for them. We are sorry that we had to do any purchasing at all be- cause we know how much the soldiers and sailors of this country prefer the sweaters and other articles knitted by ths women of this country.
 Tt may be understood further that in addition to the demands of our Army and Navy we have very urgent demands from Commissions abroad for like articles for destitute civilian pop ulations men, women and children who, if not actually homeless are very scantily clad and usually without fuel, in this cold weather, to warm their houses.
 Tt is hoped that this general state ment will satisfy the women of this country who have been devoting all their possible time to knitting for our men. We cannot too strongly urge all women who are now knitting to keep on knitting

FORMS FOR REPORTS
 TO ALIEN PROPERTY
 CUSTODY SOON READY

A. Mitchell Palmer, the alien proper ty custodian, announces that all forms for reports required under the trading g-with-the-enemy act" are being printed and will be ready for distri- button by his office within few days and must be filed with the alien-pro erty custodian. All persons required 70 make these reports should at once write to the alien-property custodian for copies of forms.
 Failure to report to the alien-prop- erty custodian as provided by law is punishable by Imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or fine of not more than $1O,O0O, or both.
 The Reports Required.
 The trading with the enemy act requires every person in the United States who has custody or control of property belonging to an enemy or an ally of the enemy, or who is indebted to an enemy or an ally of the enemy, to make report of this property or of this indebtedness to the alien-prop- erty custodian. In addition to or in lieu of such general report corporat- ions must report the names of officers directors, and stockholders who are enemies or allies of the enemy; insur ance companies must report policies of insurance issued in which an en- emy or an ally of the enemy has an interest; banks must report bank oc- counts of depositors who are enemies or allies of the enemy; safe-deposit companies must report as to safe-de- posit boxes leased to enmeies or allies of the enemy; executors, trustees, and other fduciaries must report estates under their control in which enemies or allies of the enemy have an inter est.

Principal est.

Mir Palmer again wishes to empha- size the fact that the principal test of whether a person is an enemy, within the meaning of the trading with the enemy act" is one of residence or
 place of business connections, rather
 than nationality or citizenship, and that subject of Germany or any of Germany's allies residing in this coun- try is permitted to continue in trade
 and commerce, and in the possession and control of this property, while he remains in the United States and obeys it's laws.

the coming back to the deserted

her then?
And when he turned out the lights
and slipped into bed--wou1d he lie
there and think of her? And how
would he think of her? Would he
regret any of his GOODNESS and indif-
ference? Would he, at least, wish
that he had been more responsive,

If there had only been a note of
real love in his voice it would have
given her something to cherish. to
hold to all through this visit. But
his whole attitude had been prefunc-

say goodbye and quickly-to avoid
