Predictions that the Norwich quota Tor the Fourth Liberty loan which is fe Tick the kaiseri would about double me qusta given the town in the third lean were fulfilled when the New En- gland Liberty Loan Committee 'an- nounced at Boston on Wednesday night the figure of $2,260,D00 for Nor Wich. On the third Liberty loan the auota was $f.251. 400. In response to this cali, the figuies on the last day or the third Liberty loan campaign showed that Norwich had subscribed to Si,5Ts,5a0 of the bonds.
 Aliotments by states and cities of the Boston districts quota of $500,- aoo,eoO of the slE'ighting Fonrthu Lib erty loan were given out Wednesday night by the New England Liberty Loan Committee. The quotas in | general way are double what they were in the third loan.

 MaSsac achusetts s32s,2p7, 300.
 Vermont sls20a,s9e
 Rhode Island $a6,000, ,0D0
 Connecticut s66,eea,6ee

 When the Norwich Liberty loan committee met en Wednesday, after noon at the directors room of the Nor wien Savings Society fer it's regular weekly meeting. Chairman William H Allen did not have knowledge of the exact quota fer Norwich, but the bankers present all believed ii would be double the quoEa on the third loan and one of the points emphasized was that this would call for every sub seriber to do just double what he did before in subscribing to the Liberty bonds and loaning his money to the government.
 This is the only way. it was pointed out, in which Norwich will reach its quota There were a few more thar 10000 subscribers on the last loan ani it is believed this about marks tht limit of the number of Individual subscribers who can be eourted or in this town. The only way left ther for Norwich to reach it's doubled quota is for every subscriber to double wha he did before.
 Reports were made that all is ready for the wemen's committee and thu Boy Scouts to start off at $ o'elocl on Saturday morning on their werl of securing subscriptions. At noon time on Saturday in con tormity with the plan suggested bl the state committee there is to be { Liberty chorus sing on Union sauare led by Charles D.

TO KNIT FROM YARN
 THEY HAVE ON HAND

Red Cross chapters are not to eS- pect any more yarn te be shipped to them just at present and should use what yarn they have on hand only for the most necessary articles. according to instructions from the Atlantic di- vision headquarters received by the Norwich chapter.
 This is while the national head quarters is making a general survey of all the stocks of yarn in hand and this survey will not be completed for several weeks.
 So that whatever work is under way may be directed in the most needed channels the following infor- nation has been issued:
 Socks Socks will be needed in large numbers for shipment abroad to our commissions, for use of the men over there: only limited number will be reserved fer those in this country.
 Sweaters. These will be required in troops embarking and also fer ship ment to our commissions abroad.
 Wristlets, Helmets and Muflers These have been most useful and of much comfort to the men. The scarcity of wool, however, makes it imperative that we should concentrate only on the most essential articles These are socks and sweaters, there fore wristlets and mufflers will have to be discontinued. Helmets will be wanted in small quantities, but pro duetion of them should be discontinued until the completion of the present in vetigation to determine to what ex- tent the existing stocks of completed articles will take care of our limited reauirement for helmets.
 Therefore, chapters should continue 1 the production of socks and sweaters l only from stocks of yarn now on hand suitable for these articles and to un- derstand that no more will be re- leased from the division warehouse until the survey is completed. Distribution:
 Socks. No socks will be distributed 1 to troops training in this country ex | cept upon order of the commanding l officer specifying that the quarter masters supply is not available.
 Sweaters. Sweaters will be issued as heretofore in the camps and can tonments. All stock over and abov' the quantity necessary for this pur 1 pose will be sent abroad for use bl our foreign commissions.
 Helmets. A limited supply of hel
 mets has been ordered for distribution
 in this country. They will be furnish ed only to troops located in nor
 northerly camps, serving on specia
 outdoor duty entaiiing unusual ex posture to the clements.
 From the foregoing instructions is obvious that chapters must not giv
 knitted articles to drafted men. bu
 must forward all knitted articles t
 the Atlantic division warehouse.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

A glance over the reports made by acting
Secretary J. L. Spaeth and j. c. Barber. chair
man of the Military Relief Committee Of the
Ketchikan Red Cross chapter published yester-
day reveals at once wonderful achievement.
The work accomplished by the organization is
remarkable.
The Chapter with total membership of
2776 has received from all sources the sum of
ss,O72.51 out of which after paying all the run
ming expenses, shipped 202O7 finished articles,
manufactured by handful of women and in
less than year. a wonderful record that. Or
rather, it would be wonderful record for ord-
nary women; but the Ketchikan women are not
ordinary. They are born leaders OF every move
ment, which accounts for the remarkable record.
