has charge of the distribution of sup
plies To the enlisted and cOnscripted
men in the states of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut.
About 100000 of these sweaters.
were bought In the last month. Sixty
thousand helmets were also pur-
chased, many of which have not vet
been delivered because they are heId
up by the present traffic blockade.
The need for sweaters among the
American fighting men Is increasing,

sides these camps, the Division sup

At these stations, including some

In the larger camps a supply of five

forts where there are no Red Cross
field directors the distribution of Red

"It was early evident" said John
Magee, Director of Military Relief for
the Division, "that to prevent waste
