people in their community claim that the
soldiers were having to pay money in
order to get Red Cross sweaters, etc.,

to various department stores the finished
articles. If these rumors come to your
attention | wish you would please en-
phatically deny them, as the American
Red Cross has not sold any of its finished
Red Cross articles to any Individual SOL
der or department store in this or any
other city.
