MAJOR SULLIVAN
IN NOTE PRAISES
RED CROSS WORK
Sends Letter to Mrs. Wor-
then Denying Men Did Not
Receive Goods Sent

Denying emphatically the baseless
canards to the effect that Red Cross
knitted goods have not been fairly
distributed, and promising to furnish
records that will check up any such
stories in the future, Major James A
Sullivan, commanding the 304th In
fantry at Camp Devens, has written
to Mrs. Emma F. Worthen, chair
man of the Military Relief commits
tee of Bridgeport, Ct, Chapter, Red
Cross, Seaside Institute.
Means for putting a stop to idle and
baseless rumors regarding Red Cross
work may be one of matters discuss
ed tonight at the annual meeting OF
Bridgeport chapter, to be held at
p. M in the assembly hall of Bridge
port High school.
The annual election of officers will
take place at this meeting, and the
reports of committees will be rend-
cred. All members Of Bridgeport
chapter are eligible to attend and take
part in the meeting.
Major Sullivan's letter, in which he
warmly thanks the Bridgeport chap
ter for the aid rendered to the boys
at Camp Devens, Is written from the
cantonment at Aver, Headquarters,
LIST Battalion, 304th U. S. Infantry
It was as follows:
Dear Madam-Seven boxes OF
knitted goods marked 1873, 1874, (two
boxes 80 MARKEDLY 1875, 1876, 1877, Ia
arrived several days ago together with
four boxes of comfort kits. These
will be distributed as soon as posi-
BILE.
Owing to some transformation
certain persons have had the idea thai
some articles sent here never reach
ed the men. Allow me to state that
it would be impossible for any un-
equal distribution, either thoughtless
or intended, to take place under gov
ernmental authority. I hope that yor
appreciate this. In order however te
prevent the growth of this idea,
shall have records kept Of the distri.
button of all articles sent for distribu.
ton among the men. This will be
done as soon as possible and on com.
pletion will write immediately.
Many thanks for your good worI
and kindness. We all understand the
trouble and time it took for busy
fingers to knit these testimonials o.
the Interested thought and loyal affec
ton which prompted this magnificent
gift.
Sincerely yours,
JAMES AMORY SULLIVAN,

JOFFRE"
TO HANDLE THE
ORPHANS FUND

General Joffre, the idol of the French
people, who stopped them at the
Marne," is affsctionately known as
Papa" Joffre. This title is to have
another meaning now for he is to be
chosen to have charge of the fund
that Is being raised to care for the
fatherless children of France. This
appointment ts to he made by the
Trench government in a few days.
Mrs. W. FL, Ham of North avenue,
who Ia the head Of the Bridgeport
COMMITTEES Of the Society Of the Fa-
therless Children Of France, went to
New York yesterday ands1n a talk
with Mrs. Mildred Russell Fowler. at
the headquarters of the society in
this country, discovered number OF
facts of interest to those who have
taken charge of the maintenance of
one or more Of these children.
More than two hundred children
have been taken in charge 10y indi-
viduals, churches and societies and
various groups of people in this city,
and there arc about 10 more in New
York to be cared for, Those who
have been taking charge Of the chill
dren have been very busy getting
Christmas packages ready to send
them. First it was aouHd out that
candy could not he sent as it was
dutialble.
The committee in New York are
very insisteat that ne packages at all
foe sent to France. The government
needs all the express facilities to get
things to the soldiers and the parcel
post is not dependable. All the ia
therless children in France are wear
ing black and SO the eeiored gar
ments are of ne use te them.
1t is urged that if there is any de-
sire to send gifts, that these gifts Abe
money for this can go through and
will go into fund from which the
mothers will be supplied and they can
buy the articles Of which the child
most stands ia need.
