GOVERNMENT WILL
CONSERVE YARN

Following the recent announcement
by the War Industries Board that the
Government had taken over the en-.
tire wool clip of the country for the
ensuing year, plans are announced for
the handling of all available wool in
order that the immediate military
needs of the Government be satisfied.
Stringent methods for the conserva.
ton of raw wool for military pur.
poses had become so necessary that
conference was called between rem.
resentatives of the woll-commodities
section of the War Industries Board
and the American Red Cross. AT the
close of the conference the following
joint statement was authorized:
ut is obvious that the first allot.
ment of this wool must go to the mil.
itary requirements of the Govern.
ment, ana that any surplus remaining

quirements of the American Red
Cross. as next in Importance to the
prosecution of the war.
In view of the uncertainty in
ocean shipping, it can not be definite
ly known at this time as to what
amount of wool, if any will be avail
able for Red Cross purposes, after the
original military needs of the Gov
eminent are satisfied. 1t is believed
however, that unless unforeseen condi
lions arise "a moderate quantity O,
wool will be available for the Red
Cross.
Furthermore, in view of the prob
able scarcity of wool, it is earnest,,
