The knitting committee of the local
Red Cross chapter is making an er-
fort to interest young girls of the city
in the knitting of wristlets, for the
Red Cross supplies, and toward that
end, is asking that girls who are will
ing to head groups Of knitters com
municate with Mrs. G. NJ. Williamson,
Cooley. Mrs. L. K. Hassell who has
also been named to supervise this
work is still at Maple Lake, and until
her return Mrs. c. NJ. Cooley will ACT
in her place.
Six hundred pairs Of wristlets arc
needed, and since 500 pairs Of socks,
eco muff1ers and 900 sweaters have
also been asked, and are being made
by the older and more experienced
knitters Of the city, the young girls
are being urged to interest themselves
in supplying the wristlets. These
things are needed al once, and there
is more than the grownups can do. in
a short time. Girls who are willing to
take charge Of or form a group,
should get in touch with the women
named above, as quickly as possible.
&ayement Dances
Bismarck has chosen a novel way
of raising mess funds for the military
companies of that city in a series OF
pavement dances which have been
given during the summer. This even
ing the women of that city who have
done SO many splendid things for thei,
soldier boys recently, will be hostesses
at one Of these pavement dances, and
the soldiers will be their guests. The
soldiers and their ladies will be the
guests of honor, but the men in civ
ilian clothes must pay the piper
which in this case mean the Second
infantry band. Lunch is to be served
to the soldiers at the Masonic temple
and the proceeds. after expenses are
funds of the Bismarck companies.

PatrolinS Brazilian Waters.
Washington, June 24.-The arrival
in Brazilian waters of an American
Pacific fleet aquadron commanded by
Admiral Caperton reveals that the
American navy has taken over respon-
sibility for the patrol OF that region
against German raiders.
While navy officials would not dis
close the identity or number of YES
sells in Admiral Caperton's squadron,
it is assumed that they include the
cruisers OF the Pacific fleet, giving the
American officer a swift and powerful
force for whatever operations he may
find necessary.

the first agreements reached with the
British and French governments pro-
vided that the United States navy

vising the business men against sub
scribing for relief work through chain
