IRON CROSS, REPORT

. e. COPENHAGEN, Denmark.-That2 q
100000 iron crosses of the second
class and $4,000 of the first class have
been awarded during the war is shown
by announcements published in Ber-
lin which have been received here.
Of this number 1860 were conferred
upon individuals behind the 'front.'
but it is certain that the number of
persons wearing the decoration who
have never heen under fire is even
larger. The classification behind the
front" probably applies only to nom
combatants engaged in war service,
and not to individuals, like Won ia.
gov and other civilians, who from
time to time have been stationed at
the main headquarters.
A horde of wearers of the iron cross
have been simply employed at the
headquarters and by the staff; never
smelling powder unless perhaps it was
during the repulse of long distance
a1rplane raid. AS an example of the
lavishness with which the crosses are
handed out a correspondent of The

accounts resultant from the war.
Speaking of how 1T has been per-
formed, Rear Admiral MCGOWAN, chief
of that bureau and paymaster general
of the navy, said:
when war was declared recruits
poured INTO the navy at the rate OF
more than a thousand a day. From
every naval station came the call for
uniforms, blankets, and all the vari-
Gus things needed by the thousands.
AT the Brooklyn ana Charleston
clothing factories it was not case Of
merely working overtime, but all
tne time, the output being limited, nCS
alone by the number Of operatives
available, but very much by the short
supply of materials obtainable.
THE navy manufactures most of its
uniforms in its own factories. The
naval clothing factory at Charleston
is now turning out daily $500 pairs
of white trousers, 1850 whlte jumpers,
and 1900 suits of dungarees lover
allsl. When the large addition which
was completed some time ago is work.
ing with the full number of opera
tives, this factory will be able to turn
out 100000 suits of white clothing
month. The clothing factory at the
New York navy yard, which has
charge of our production of bh:e uni
forms, has greatly increased lbs out
put. In May. 10000 blue suits were
produced. Now they are being turned
cut at the rate of 10000 suits month,
large part of the work being done
by private contractors.
difficulties Overcome
The great difficulty we experienced
in getting blue cloth, of which there
was very little in the market, has been
overcome. To provide for future
needs. we have this week awarded
contracts for the manufacture of 2.
500, 900 yards of blue uniform cloth
The manufacturers may either secure
the wool from other sources or from
the navy, as they desire.
Contracts have been given for g..
10000 pairs of sox, for hundreds of
thousands of pairs of shoes, and for
many other articles of clothing which
will be required We are anticipat-
ing our needs and providing not only
for the present emergency, but for the
creation of reserve.
1T is our business to furnish the
men who are fighting our battles on
the seas with everything required for
their comfort, and we are determined
to do it, America is giving them the
