"It is imperative that all of the
sweaters, wristlets and socks that
can possibly be made by the wo-
men of the country should be turn
ed in to the Supply Department at
the earliest possible date. With
the cold weathercoming one, the
demand, for sweaters especial, has
been beyond the capacity of all our
resources to supply. We have
forwarded promptly all knitted
articles received from the Chapters
and have in addition been compel
led to buy in the market $50, 900
sweaters. of which about 250, 900
ers are machine knit and the yarn
has been delivered. These sweaters
are mixture of cotton and
wool, so that it does not withdraw
any considerable amount of yarn
from the women knitters of tine
Red Cross. We are buying all the
yarn we are able to secure that is
suitable for knitters and sending
it out to the Chapters as fast as We
can get delivery of it. We have
received from the Chapters about
100000 sweaters, approximately
the same number of machine-made
sweaters, all of which have been
delivered to the men in the camps
and training stations, with the cx
ception of few thousand which
have been sent to France. The
requests of our organization iii
France for sweaters and knitted
goods have had to remain unsatis-
fed on account of our inability to
secure enough for men in our wn
Army and Navy. We call upon,
the women to give us their very

TO AID AMERICAN PRISONERS


American prisoners of war in
Germany are to be supplied with
food and clothing by the American
Red Cross. A systematic plan Of
sending parcels to the German pri-
son camps at regular intervals is
being warked out by the War De
partment and Navy Department
and the Red Cross, and it is hoped
there will be no suffering on the
part of our captured fighting men
through lack of adequate nourish-
ment and wearing apparel. Parcels
will be sent into Germany from
the disbursing agency of the Red
Gross at Berne, Switzerland, which
already has been supplied with T.
500 tons of food for any possible
emergency. This food supply com
prises 100000 individual rations.
or enough to feed 10000 men for
six months. The food supply to
Americans in German prison camp:
will be the same in quality ana
quantity as that supplied by the
Government to those in fighting
service.
There also will be special rations
for invalids, consisting of broth,
matted milk, jellied chicken, and
various vauable helps in GONZALES.

system Of prison relief planned by

lief undertaken by the French and
English for their prisoners of war
in Germany has been carried out
with small prcentage Of loss or fail

whom intended.

there are signs of spirited rivalry
on the part of the membership
