Eyate Peat's Poker Luck
Started Red Cross Lie.
tie Tells How Hun Propaganda
lists Used His Story.
MOTHER SENT HIM SWEATERS
He Sold Two of Them To Pay
His Poker Debts.
Then 1t Was Reported Red
Cross Was Grating.

For several months the country has
listened to the false statement that
the Red Cross is selling to soldiers
sweaters. socks and other articles
knitted by the women of the United
States. Pro-German sympathizers
have been active in circulating the
story. Denying the canard only had
the effect of lending it dignity.
Now comes Private Peat and tells
where and how the story started. At
he admits that he started it-unin-
tentionally but nevertheless effective
~. 1t is possible that others started
IL the same way.
Unlucky at Poker.
I 1t seems that Peat's folks at home
sent him three fine sweaters, sweaters
closely knitted and warm as Cana
dian women know they are needed
Peat could not wear hree such warm
garments simultaneously, two COM
panions needed them. Peat needed
q little money. He had been unlucky
and over-confident in a poker game
and trench etiquette requires that
such obligations be promptly settled
Because a boche bullet or German
gas may be indefinitely postponed.
SO money and sweaters changed
bands.
Peat wrote to his mother about it
She was glad that the garments she
had knitted so carefully would keep
some soldier warm and she was not
deeply interested in the processes by
which the sweaters reached the ul-
innate consumer. But she mentioned
the story at a meeting of her Red
Cross chapter.
Story Exaggerated.
A listener repeated the story, be-
thinning, MRS. Peat told us at the
Red Cross etc. The next time the
story was repeated it became, Mrs.
Peat says the Red Cross" etc. And
thus it started.
Agents of the kaiser seized it and
the lie that the Red Cross is selling
the work of American women has
been travelling ever since. And 1T owes
dts origin to the fact that two pairs.
