 Tn addition to this stock of yarn the Red Cross has ready for distribu- ton 1,600,O00 sweaters, 134,o0 mufflers, 3S4, 900 wristlets, 22S, 900 pairs of socks, a total of 3,674,000 articles. We are hopeful, therefore, that these and such additional garments as we shall be able to make will enable us to meet the more urgeH requirements of our men during S>tM coming winter. In this connection it will be of interest to the women who have been knitting to know that from September l, 1917, to June 30. 1918, the Red Cross dis tributed 5,s75,000 knitted garments to the army and navy of the United States. During the same period S70,0O0 knitted articles were sent to the Red Cross commissioner in France and Italy for
 distribution to soldiers, sailors and
 civilians.

 works in close cooperation, we have
 urged chapters and individual workers not to buy wool in the open market, | but to secure their materials through our department of supplies.

Washington, August 1S.-With the pub lication tomorrow of the daily list of cas- ualties. among Americas forces overseas, the Associated Press and other press ass sociations in cooperation with the war and postoffice departments, put into ef- feet a new arrangement by which these complete lists are delivered daily by mail to the papers of virtually every city in the United States
 Since the American army in France has grown to a force of over million and taking ever greater and more az gressive part in the task of driving back the Germans, transmission of the full honor roll of dead, wounded and missing daily by telegraph to alf the newspapers has become almost an impossibility For weeks the press associations have been obliged to curtail the volume of their news reports in order to deliver promptly these lists, all important to the friends and neighhors of the boys at the front.
 To meet this situation the postoffice de
 partment, exercising control of the tele- graph systems, has undertaken the re- sponsibility of telegraphing the lists across the continent, and of providing printed copies to the press associations simultaneously in Washington, Chicago and San Francisco. From these points the associations mail to the newspa pers each days list bearing date of publica- tion several days later than the day it IS telegraphed, so all papers may publish the same list on the same day. Provl- sion has been made for having half Of the names appear first in the morning papers and half first in the afternoon pa pers but all papers receive the complete lists for publication at the stated times

GERMANS EASE DOWN

Amsterdam, August 1S.-Equilibrium on the whole west front is being slowly re- stored, is the consensus of expert mili- tafy opinion in Saturdays German news papers and the view is held that inas- much as surprise attacks failed to pierce the German front, the prospects of future piercing are diminishing sensipiy.
 Captain Won Salzmann, writing Tn the Berlin Vossische Zeitung, says he sees signs in the shifting of troops from the Aisne northwestward of another Dig en- emy offensive on the Somme. He adds that on the Asne an independent Arperl- can army group seems to be in the course of formation and offers the explanation that is due to American pride, which ob- jects to fighting under foreign command
 ORDER IS SIGNIFICANT
 With the French Army in France, Au- gust 1S.--(By the Associated Press.)-A German order recently found on the bat tlefield requests the different units to fur- nsh lists of officers and men who have shown an aptitude in the gas section, anu who desire to continue in that service after the war.
 The order invites even mutilated sol aiers whose infirmities do not incapacitate them Sor this work to send in their names.

New OrIeans,f August 1s.-(Special) That the many million of Red Cross knitters may know the plans of the Red Cross for future knitting, George E Scott, acting manager American Red Cross at Washington Sunday sent the following statement to the gulf divi- sion, 225 Postoffice building, here;
 When the war industries board sometime ago advised the Red Cross that future production of knitting yarn would be greatly reduced, we imme- diately commeneedato purchase all yarns suitable for our knitting. As re- suit we have today in stock or on order 1,400.000 pounds of yarn for dis- tribution to our chapters It is hoped we may obtain some additional yarn from wool unsuitable for government uses. The expected total, however will be considerably below the lo,- GOO GOO pounds used last year,
 "While the total of yarn we can se- cure is being determined we are study ing how to use our supply to- produce only garments which are most essen tial When conclusion is reached great patrol activity in the neighborhoof of the Vardar and somewhat spirited artillery fire in the region of the Var dar, Gievgheli and the Cerna bend. BTU ish aviators downed an enemy machine north of Gievgheli."
