II am sending you a money order

Anent Knitting.

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 Al to whether they
should discontinue knitting.
THE Red Cross therefore desires to
place before the women Of this coun-
alton. AS is we'll known, It is the
policy of the Red Cross to supplement
so far as it has the power, the efforts
Of the army and navy in conserving
hte health and comfort Of our soldiers
and sailors. either in this country or
abroad.
Sweaters and other knitted ar
ticles are designed primarily for
warmth. They certainly are not or
namental. Therefore it must follow
that when there is an almost uni
versal demand on the part of our
soldiers and sailors for sweaters and
other knitted articles 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 undoubtedly consti-
tute equipment that will add greatly
to the health and comfort OF, our men
under conditions generally met with.
THE Red Cross knows that the
soldiers and sailors want sweaters and
other knitted articles. These goods
can be obtained from thesRed Cross in
single garments only upon individual
request: or II in bulk. then upon the
request Of a commanding officer. How
great the need Is. is best evidenced
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 $780,
900 extra sweaters alone to meet the
tnststent demand made upon US by our
men for them. We are sorry that we
hadqto do any purchasing at all be-
cause We know how much the soldiers
ana sailors Of this country prefer the
sweaters and other articles knitted by
the women of this country.
1T may be understood further that
In addition to the demands of our
army and navy WI have very urgent
demands from commissions abroad
for like articles for destitute civilian
populations-men, women And chill
dren-who, IL not actually homeless
are very scantily clad and usually
without ufel, in this cold weather. to
warm their houses.
1T is hoped that this general
statement will satisfy the women OF
this country who have been devotins
all their possible TIME to knitting fo1
our men. We cannot too strongl,
urge all women who are now knittinl
to keep on knitting"
