To American Red Cross:
Last winter broke record for cold
and misery among people here. In
expressibly dread coming winter
finding US without supplies to meet
situation. Urge you on behalf of
our soldiers and those of our allies
who will suffer in their frozen
trenches, and also thousands of
French and Belgian refugees and
repatriates being returned through
Switzerland to France. Everyone
here looks to America. Begin ship
ping at once 500, 900 each of warm
knitted wooden articles already re-
quested. They must come before
cold weather, and view of shortage
of fuel and other discomforts, they
will be of incredible value in both
military and civilian work.
(Signed) Murphy"
The Atlantic Division is asked to
secure 100000 sets of wooden gar
ments, consisting of sweater, muf-
fer, pair of wristlets and pair of

soon as possible.
