The American boys need Ameri-

spirit aroused by a common Ian

The American Red Cross nurse
means Home and Mother to the
wounded soldier, lying on his
army cot in base hospital in
France. He can talk to. her. She
can understand his slang and him.
Her training gives her the op-

helping to keep up the morale Of
the army and navy. and bring
America closer to the boys fight

Dressings Are Standard.

Pleasant news for the army OF
American women who so painstaking-
~ have been manufacturing millions
Of surgical dressings, comes from
Paris.s A cablegram has been re-
ceived from Harvey D. Gibson, Red
Cross commissioner to France, ad-
vising that the French war depart
ment has officially adopted for use
IN all French hospitals American
Red Cross standard dressings,
Acting under instructions to dis
continue the making Of Trench style
dressings, all dressings completed or
now being manufactured, or in tran
sit, which are made on the special
standard for French hospitals, will
be accepted by the American Red
Cross and semitic France. Chapters,
branches ors+.auxiliaries will not be
permitted to produce this type Of
dressing in future. ]5'%
One Of the factors entering into
this decision was the splendid cordi-
ton in which, Red Cross surgical
dressings arrive in France. Accord
ing to G. E. Newlin, aide to the com.
missioner to France, the only dress
ings from America that have been re-
cetved in France not suitable for use
In the exact condition in which they
arrived. have been spoiled by reason
of the breaking open of, the cases.
The decision to make the American
Red Cross dressings standard for
French hospitals Is further evidence
of the splendid cooperation between
the Allies and the American Red
Cross.

Chiefly Of Interest to Women
Red Cross Plans
Knitting Program

A statement recently was author
lied by the war industries board 70
the effect that the board has served
notice on spipners Of handwriting
yarns that because OF the military
needs Of the government NO more
woolen or worsted handwriting
yarns may be manufactured until
further notice"
That the many millions of Red
Cross knitters may know the plans
OF the Red Cross for future knitting,
George e. Scott, acting manager OF
the American Red Cross. has issued
the following statement:
when the war Industrial board
some time ago advised the Red Cross
that future production Of knitting
yarn would be greatly reduced, we
Immediately commenced to purchase
all yarns suitable for our knitting.
As a result we have today in stock
or on order 100000 pounds Of yarn
for distribution to our chapters. 1t
lis hoped that we may obtain some
additional yarn from wool unsuitable
for government uses, The expected
total however. will be considerably
below the 100000 pounds used last
year.
"WhiIe the total of yarn we can
secure is being determined We are
studying how to use our supply to pro-
duce only garments which are most
essential. When conclusion is
reached we will announce our full
program of knitting.
I'm addition to this stock Of yarn.
the Red Cross has ready for dfstri-
button 100000 sweaters, $4,000
muflers. $4,000 wristlets. 228,000
helmets. and 1,32S.000 pairs OF socks.
We are hopeful, therefore, that these
and such additional garments as we
shall be able to make will enable us
to meet the urgent requirements Of
our men during the coming winter.
In this connection 1t will be of inter-
est to the women who have been
knitting to know that from Septem-
ber 1, 1917. to June 80, 1918, the Red
Cross distributed 5,S75,000 knitted
garments to the army and navy Of
the United States. During the same
period $4,000 knitted articles were
sent to the Red Croa commissioners
in France and Italy for distribution
to soldiers, sailors and civilians.
AT the request of tae war indus
tries board. with which the Red
Cross works in close cooperation, we
have urged. chapters and individual
workers not TO buy wool in the open
market. but to secure their material
through our department Of supplies
