If it is true that much of the American ammunition now being manufactured for use by the American army is worthless, somebody has put one over on Uncle Sam. The same thing was done in Canada more than two years ago, when an order was filled for bayoncts that bent like tim under slight pressure. Somebody has been making easy money.

 A working alliance between che war relief clearing house for France and her allies and tho Aemorican Red Cross has been perfected, cen- trallzing in thc Red Cross the func- ton Of receiving, transporting and distributing supplies abroad.

For about two years past it has also been che official repre- sentative In France for the Amcri- can Red Cross.

Co succeed the American clearing house, which as above stated. has for about two years been  tho Red Cross representative, and n order to secure tho greatest ef- ncicncy it has been found necessary to place the administration Of the new organization on a strictly mili- tary basis and Co vest In it full dis erection with respect to distribution of relief supplies In France.

Centrali7cs Supplies


 "It ls now desirable and necessary Co centrallzo in the hands of tho American Red Cross an contribu- tions Of supplies which have hereto fore been handled by tho war re- lief clearing house for France and her allies. The American Red Cross will hereafter receive and forward Co France an such contributions Of supplies, which will there be re- celved and distributed by the Amcri- can Red Cross for France and Bcl- glum.
 "You are therefore advised that on September 1. 1917. the ware house of the war relief clearing house at 133 Charlton street, New York City, will be discontinued. Thereafter all contributions of sup plies for France and her allies should be delivered either to the American Red Cross Supply Service, export department, Flfty-slXth street and North River, New York, or Co Che nearest, Red Cross chapter which will receive and forward your con- tributions without expense Co you.
 "The war relief clearing house for France and her allies. after full consideration of the difficulties in transportation. distribution, etc., due to the existing military situation, is persuaded that the arrangements made arc most desirable and will result in greatly increased efficiency of operation.
 Cash Contributions Suggested
 "In view of the uncertainties of transportation and the grave sub marine danger it is most strongly urged that contributions for France be made in the form of cash with which Co purchase articles In France wherever possible, rather than in the form of supplies, except as in- formation with regard to existing needs in France shall be hom time to time furnished by the Red Cross.
 "In view Of the establishment in Paris of tho American Red Cross for France and Belgium. tho necessity and wisdom Of which we fully in dorse, we venture to hope that an those who have 80 effectively worked in the clearing house in the inter csts of the spfrerors abroad will rec ognize the desirabnlty Of establish Ing and maintaining full coopera- ton with the Red Cross, and that the distribution in France Of an sup plies contributed by them will be intrusted to the competent hands of the American Red Cross for France and Belgium"
