Overman of North Carolina tried to
have the amendment changed to force
the Comforts Committee to make its
contributions through the American
Red Cross society.
Senator Curtis OF Kansas, author of
the amendment. opposed the Over
man amendment, and a warm debate
ensued. Senator Curtis told the Sem
ate that Secretary Daniels had refused
time after time to accept the furnish
ings and supplies donated by the Com
forts Committee. following his differ
ences with the officials Of the league.
He said the Comforts Committee had
a membership of 100000 loyal and
patriotic women throughout the coun-
try, who were trying to help win the
war. He sharply criticised Secretary
Daniels for declining to accept their
aid.
"If were Secretary of3the Navy, I
not only would accept the aid of this
organization, but would conduct the
navy in such a manner as not to meet
with the criticism now heard against
the navy declared Senator Curtis.
Senator Swanson of Virginia, acting
chair man of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee. deplored the dragging of the
controversy into the Senate debate
and warmly defended the Secretary
of the Navy. Senator Hollis Of New
Hampshire finally ended the discus
sion bv making u point of order
against the committee amendment on
the ground that it was general legis-
lation in an appropriation bill. Vice
President Marshall promptly sustain-
ed the point of order.
Senator Martin urged sharp scru-
tiny of what he termed extravagant
and almost reckless departmental es-
Inmates. He said appropriations dur
ing five months of war would reach
about $4,000, 100000 and expressed
concern lest next years total might
be $50, 900, 900, 900.

KNIT FOR SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS FIRST,
SAY CAMP FIRE GIRLS

The Camp Fire Girls are about to
launch a campaign for the conserva-
ton of wool, especially yarn, now be-
ing used in unheard of quantities in
every city, town and hamlet through
out the country by the millions of
women who are knitting. 1t Is not the
intention of the Camp Fire Girls to
discourage knitting. But it has be-
come increasingly apparent in the
past few weeks that thousands of wo-
men are knitting gay colored sweaters
for themselves, when they already
have one or two Of these garments for
personal use. instead Of devoting their
knitting to the service of the country,
that is, knitting sweaters for the SOL
diers and sailors. The purpose of the
campaign of the Camp Fire Girls is to
induce women to devote more of their
time to knitting khaki and navy blue
sweaters, good warm garments, rath-
.er than to making these garments of
burnt orange, old rose, Copenhagen
blue and other similarly tinted yarns
OF course. even this highly colored
wool could be dyed and so made avail
able for army and navy purposes, but
it is the aim of the Camp Fire Girls
to bring about a change of attitude
among these women who have been
knitting for themselves and get them
to devote their energies to helping the
soldiers and sailors.
In this manner and by themselves
knitting during every, spare moment
the Camp Fire Girls are going to help
in providing the million and a half
sets of hand-knitted garments-sweat-
ers, mufflers. wristlets and socks. ask
ed by the Red Cross for the use of
the men in France before the cold
weather sets in. Gluttony and waste
have been condemned by the Camp
Fire Girls as bad manners" and in
future any girl who has surplus of
gay colored sweaters while our fight
ers are in need of them will be severe
ly looked upon by the two hundred
thousand eyes Of the one hundred
| thousand members of the organiza-
ton.

FIND LETTER WRITTEN
BY REFORMER LUTHER
in ROYAL ARCHIVES

Stockholm, Sept. 26.---An important
addition to Lutherina has been made
by the discovery in the royal archives
Of a letter written by Martin Luther,
the reforner, on the day on which he
nailed his immortal theses on the
church door in Wittenburg. The let
ter is of particular interest from the
fact that it was directed to Arch
bichop Albrecht of Mayence, who was
Luthers Immediate superior. 1t con-
tains, like the famous theses, a. strong
protest, against traf1cking In spirit
ual indulgences.
The letter appears to have been
found in a German city by Swedish
official, who brought it TO Sweden
some time in the seventeenth cent
lry. A very old copy exists in Ger
many, but the very existence Of the
original appears to have been for
ten and it's absence long ago caused
the German copy to he considered a
forgery.
A copy Of these Wittenburg theses
signed by Luther's own hand, was
found with the letter. and probably
accompanied it originally.

Washington, July 5.-A German
community in Brooklyn possessed de-
tailed information concerning the time
the American troop transports would
sail for France, the number of soldiers
on board and the quantity Of artillery
that was to be shipped with the Perish
ing expedition.
The following is a COPY Of a letter

lust sailed for France or somewhere
else. His son wrote him letter
from the ship, 4 very guarded one,
giving no information as 20 any
thing, except that the ship was eX-
pecting 70 sail az almost any time.
This morning Mr.. B., a promi-
nent insurance man, came in 70 Dr.
Ks Office and asked him concerning
his son. DR.. X. told him he knew
nothing except the meagre informa-
ton in his sons letter. Then Mr.. B.
told DR.. Y. that he, B.. knew where
the boat sailed, and what was on
board, and that one Of BIS agents
insurance had visited house in
Brooklyn where some Germans lived,
and there was told that the ship
would sail such and such a time. that
there were so many soldiers aboard,
ard that there were several hundred
pieces of artillery on the ship"
II was stated also on high authority
that the steamship Manchuria. which
was leading the transports out Of an
