WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES.
Knitting To Go On.

The Red Cross Knitters thought
that with the signing Of the armis-
tice they could turn their minds and
hands to some other sort Of duty or
even to playing a little, knitting a
sweater of bright hue for Christ
mas gift, read a novel, scan a few
MAGAZINES or fashion a dainty piece
of lingerie.
Not sO-we are asked to continue
the Red Cross knitting, there are
many soldiers in the army of occupa-
ton and workers of all kinds in the
allied countries needing socks and
sweaters.
The Christmas Roll Call of the Red
Cross being fully answered, will help
in this branch of the work as well
as in the many others for yarn must
be bought.
But the hand-knitted sweaters and
way-by the continued efforts of the
people who know how to knit and
are willing to keep up their diligence
in this direction until the need is no
longer felt by the guiding Red Cross.
| The Production Bureau has sent
out the following call on this sub
ject:
"Knit!.
"The knitting of socks and sweat
ers must be carried on in a big way
regardless of the cessation of hOstiii-
ties.
"This is the message of the divis-
ion Bureau of Chapter Production to
the women of Ohio, Indiana and Ken
lucky.
There is most urgent need for the
completion of sock and sweater as
signments, particularly since some
chapters have not yet completed their
September 1 quotas of sweaters and
socks, and now that the pressure has
been relieved on surgical dressing
work, it is advised that chapters i'm
press upon their workers the neces-
sity for more knitting.
| Sock and sweater yarn has been
recently shipped to chapters, and
there is still on hand at the division
Department of Supplies $4,000
pounds of sock yarn which should be
knitted up Immediately.
THE division Bureau of CHAPTER
Production has asked all chapters to
indicate how much yarn they will ac-
cept for knitting into socks on or be-
fore December 81. Estimates of the
amount that can be used during
| January have also been asked for.
I'm addition, a paragraph in a cir
cular letter from the Bureau of
Chapter Production to chapters
reads:
We expect quantity of sweater
yarn for distribution, on or about
December 1, and would appreciate
your advising the quantity of sweater
yarn you will be able to use during
the months of December and Janu-
ary.. Owing to the uncertainty of
our being able to get enough yarn
to complete the different sock and
sweater assignments, we are not
giving chapters a certain quota Of
finished knitted garments, but are
, asking them to knit all the sweaters
and socks they can from yarn avail
able
Sound the call for knitters!"

GOT BEST OF ARMY OFFICERS
Leader Of PIckanlnny Band Showed
Himself Fully Capable Of Dealing
With Emergency. ~

An itinerant pickaninny band hail-
ing from an orphan asylum In the
South struck up lively airs in one Of
the streets and attracted attention, ac-
cording to q Saratoga Springs corre-
spondent Of the New York Evening
Post. The doughty little drum major,
dressed in an imposing collection Of
colors, rested between airs and sug-
gested to bystanders that they make
contributions for the good Of the cause.
Four army officers stopped and ban
tered the leader until his soul grew
vexed. Suddenly he had an inspira-
ton and turning to his dozen jazz mu-
sicians he raised his baton and gave
the signal for the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner." which the darkies played with
earnestness and drew out as long as
possible.
The officers, Of course, Immediately
came to salute and remained in that
posture until the grinning drum major
brought down his baton on the. final
note. The officers appeared a bit red
in the face and proceeded along their
way without attempting to "spoof" the
band any further. They appeared to
be making remarks Soto voce.

Demolish Barriers Which Guarded the

dun-tiun Soldiers Revolt
Against Brutal OFFICERS.

Paris.-The German frontier was
crossed at several places Sunday by
American signal corps units and ambu.
lance workers.
Short trips were made into Rhen-
tsh Prussia, where the inhabitants
are reported to have shown the Amer
leans every consideration.
American forces have completed de-
mOlishing barriers which guarded the
old German front east of yerdun, con.
sisting Of reinforced. concrete pillars
stretching along the old front for two
miles.
At Mars-La-Tour, just at the edge
of the village, the Americans encoun-
tered tank barriers, some of which
We're only half completed. A few
blasts of dynamite soon put them out
of commission.
AT Etain the Germans had barriers
of logs chained together on four
wheels, the logs being movable like
a gate. On these barriers the Ger
mans had installed ingenious devices
to remove the wheels from beneath
the logs which would then drop across
the road at the main road entrance
into Etain. This log barrier was
just at the western entrance, the logs
acting as check in the event that
the mines failed to destroy the bridge.
j The American forces resting Sunday
along the German frontier spent their
spare time at various points watching
the Germans opposite them. In nu-
merous instances the Germans waved
farewell when their detachments start
ed on their homeward march.
Reports of rioting continue to reach
American headquarters from various
sources. One report was to the eff
feet that German colonel had been
dragged from his horse by soldiers
and beaten severely.
Before crossing from Luxembourg
many of the privates told the Luxem-
burgers that when they reached Ger
many they would decline to obey their
officers, do as they pleased; and If
taken to task by their officers, trouble
would result.

KAISER HoARDED FOOD.
While Subjects Were Starving He Had
Plenty Of Provisions.

Plenty of Provisions.
Amsterdam.-"How Wilhelm hello
out" is the title Of an article in the
Frankfort Volks Stimme by Wilhelm
earle, socialist, who discovered the
boards of provisions which the former
emperor had in his Berlin palace.
"The quantity" the writer says, Eek
ceeded oil expectations. In large
white-tiled> rooms was everything, lit
orally everything one can imagine in
foOdstuffs. 1t Is incOnceivable that af-
ter four years of war such huge guam
titles. could be hOarded. There was
meat Md game in cold storage, sailed
provisions in large cases, white meal in
sacks piled, to the roof, thousands Of
eggs, gigantic boxes filled with tea, cof-
fee, chocolate, lard, jelly and jam; hun
dreds of sugar loaves and endless
stacks of peas, beans, dried fruits and
biscuits. Their value amounts to sew
eral hundred thousand marks.
"These boarded foodstuffs cannot
be better used than to be preserved as
a lasting memorial to our posterity
which should see how, while millions in
Germany starved, those elected by the
grace Of God held out"

How "BIack Watch" Got Name.
In the old days the regiments of
the British army were known by the
color Of their Uniforms, as the White
regiment, the Blue regiment, or the
Red regiment, and SO ad infinitum. It
Is quite possible. therefore, that there
was a Black regiment, from whence
came the Black Watch. The Red reg
iment, incidentally, was Cromwell's
Ir0nsides. But the term "Black
Watch" was also used for the Guards
of the Dominicans or Black Friars,
and came to be applied also to the
scullions in the kitchens Of the great
houses, whose business 1t was to look
after the pots and pans.
