Knitting Encouraged BY War Department
But Red Cross Should Distribute 1t
BY Edna Huber Church.

If the boys need socks most the Red
Cross will tell you so.
Sec'y of War Baker, in making
a statement endorsing knitting
war occupation for American
women, said: An apparent misun-
derstanding has arisen in some quar-
ters regarding the attitude Of the
war department toward the knitting
Of sweaters and comforts for our
soldiers. The department has in no
sense discouraged the furnishing OF
such garments through the American
Red Cross. and is appreciative Of
the spirit which prompts American
women in their knitting for the
troops. IL is true that a sweater is
not included in the regular equip
ment of the army, and it is not re-
garded as an absolutely essential
garment. However. a knitted sweat
er is a garment Of great serVicea bill
ity and constitutes a welcome addi-
tion 70 a soldiers equipment par
ticularly when the soldier is on duty
in the rigorous winter climate OF
France. While the department
itself has not officially called upon
any organization 10 supply sweaters.
certain divisions Of the army have
made such acquisitions and have
been gratified that the supply was
available. The work Of American
women who desire 10 add this COM
forta BILE article 10 the clothing sup
piled the soldier by the war depart

So knitting may continue the chief
summer sport for women and the
American Red Cross will see that the

WASHINGTON. May %. - Amer
lean women, the American Red
Cross will take care of your knitting.
Although there has been ruling
by the war department that no more
comfort packa ges' may be sent TO
France 10y parcels post, the Red
Cross is still allowed TO send what
ever is needed for the comfort Of
the boys in the trenches. Moreover,
the Red Cross will see TO it that the
comfopts so where they are needed.
You may feel certain that when
your knitted efforts are turned over
10 the Red Cross they Will be placed
n the hands of some soldier who
needs them. Before the recent order
of the war department went into
effect some of the boys over there
were flooded with more comforts
than they really needed by their
friends. Bill Smiths mother knit
him a muffer and sent ii TO him
from the home town, Kankakee
Bills sister, who was in Nassar. at
POughkeepsie also sent him a muf-
fer, and his girl, who was at Smith
in Northampton likewise knit a
muffier and sent it 10 Bill. AS the
result Of all Of this kindliness. Bill
was pretty nearly muffied TO death
in the trenches. This condition Of
affairs is not 80 when your knitting
is distributed through the Red
Cross.
Be sure to knit what the Red
Cross wants. Their representatives
are in close touch with the boys at
the front and know what they need.
