The stage of final analysis has been
reached in the famous Zimmerman n
chasing Collins play and the general
verdict seems to be that Zim made a
slight mental mistake which was ag-
gravated by conditions over which he
had no control. Somebody belonged at
the plate and when Zim realized that
his chase was hopeless there was no
body to take the throw.
In one way New York has reason to
be thankful. 1t will not have to look
upon any attempts to elevate the stage
by heroes of the late lamented world

do so they should be induced to knit first for Europe, and when this sup ply has been completed then they ,maa take care of their local demands. Our own boys can be reached very quickly while it takes long time to get things to the other side As soon as the requirements in Europe are filled the entire knitting force can be worked for the soldiers and sail ors stationed in the United States.
 Where people wish to make per sonal contributions they should do it by paying for their own knitting ma terials and as far as possible the ma terial paid for by the chapter should be used for Europe.
 We do not wish to take the arbi- trary stand that your boys should not be equipped by the people of your community if they so desire, but we think that if the chapters will try and work it out somewhat in conformity with the above plan, they will be rendering better Red Cross service.

KNITTED ARTICLES SHOULD
 BE SENT ACROSS THE WATER

Secretary A. B. c. Donrmann, of the Pacific Division of the Red Cross sends the following notice to the To- cal chapter:
 We have received word from many chapters asking permission to fit out with sweaters boys leaving from their neighborhoods. For your in- formation we beg to state regarding this situation, that the order cabled by Major Grayson M. P. Murphy from France to Washington for a million sets was intended for relief in Europe and any knitted garments diverted to the boys going into the cantonments means just so much less relief in Europe.
 While it is true that our boys would all like to be fitted out with these garments and that they would be a great comfort to them, the ne- cessity is not so great as in Europe, as they are facing a very great lack of fuel with the result that thous- ards of soldiers will have no way of Keeping warm except by the clothing they have. Our boys in canton ments in America will not be in the same position as undoubtedly all the cantonments will be reasonably heated.
 We appreciate the anxiety of the people to take care of the boys they know, but wherever it is possible to
