Washington, Sept. 27-First details of the new victory of the American forces, reported last night by Gen. eral Pershing in his daily com munique, caused elation in Washing ton today.
 Capture of the strong position of Montefaucon appeared to observers as the most striking feature in the re- port of the American commander.
 Identification by General Pershing of the troops operating around Var ennes, MOntblancville, Vaquoes and Cheppy as units from Pennsylvania, Kansas and Missouri also was re- garded as significant, making as it did the first time the American com mander has seen fit to make public the divisions taking part in the first stages of large operation.

RED CROSS HERE
IN EXPLANATION
Local Chapter Answers Queries
Concerning the Distribution Of
Sweaters To Boys.
ARTICLES TO HEADQUARTERS
Men VIII Receive Necessities From
Organization at Camp To Which
They Are Sent.

Inquiry has come to local Red
Cross headquarters as to why
sweaters were not given the drafted
men as they left the city.
Officials of the chapter firmly
state that such distribution is alb
solutely contrary to the rule Of
the national organization as an
nounced by the central division
headquarters.
The following is quotation from
the official bulletin: Direct ship
ment of sweaters from chapters or
individuals must be firmly discour-
aged 1t has led to much duplica-
ton and confusion. Tell your rela-
tives and friends that the quickest
way to get Red Cross articles is to
ask their supply officer for them.
The supply officer will obtain them
from the Red Cross field director at
the camp
A communication of March s ad-
dressed to all chapters by the man
ager of the Central division gives
the following order: All chapters
should cease to distribute articles
to local men. The Red Cross has
field directors stationed at each
camp and cantonment. Their work
is approved by the war department
and consists of receiving requests
from the officers to furnish men in
their commands with additional ar
ticles Of equipment. Their work
also in general involves the care of
the men in camps so far as the
needs of the army may be supplied
by the Red Cross. For this pur-
pose each field director has on hand
supply of articles that are most
in demand by the men in the camp.
Only in so far as chapters send
their finished products to the CEN
trail warehouse at division or state
headquarters, will the Red Cross
be able to care for every man ade-
quately and without duplication. In
order to live up to the understand
ing with the war department It Is
important that all chapters should
avoid direct dealing with the men
in camp"

PLEASANT TIME
AHEAD FOR men
War Camp Community Service Lays
Plans to Entertain Arsenal
Soldiers.
BUY $3.50 BASEBALL GOODS
Boating, Bathing and Auto Trips
Arranged for Ordnance and
Tenth Infantry Trops.

Soldiers at Rock Island arsenal
are looking forward to an interest
ing summers entertainment, as a
result of plans which have been
made by the war camp community
service of the tri-cities.
Two skinned baseball diamonds
have been arranged on the arsenal.
one for the ordnance department
men and the other for the men of
the Tenth infantry battalion. The
war camp community service or
ganization has expended $3.50 in
getting uniforms and equipment for
team for the ordnance men and
one for the regular army soldiers.
A game was scheduled to have been
played today between the two teams
but this had to be postponed on &C
count of the rain. Next Saturday
the ordnance men play the Moline
Plow company team and the Tenth
infantry soldiers play a team from
Davenport.
Other Entertainment.
At meeting yesterday, the war
camp community service laid plans
for the entertainment of the SOL
diers at the arsenal Besides the
baseball games, arrangements for
boating, bathing and automobile
trips for the men have been made.
A. F. Dawson of Davenport is treas
urer of the organization.

have asked in their own same and
that oil the war department that
there be no direct Distribution
They have advanced reasons which
are clear and cogent; direct giving
means duplication-givin at the
source and a. ihe camp; 1t means
the use of Red Cross money twice
for the same man st the expense of
the other man. 1t a banS haphaz-
ard gdng Instead il business liKs
system, and every Cne whJ mas paid
a dollar to tie he'd Cross has a
right to demand the business like
use Of that money. He gets it if
local chapters obey orders.
The boys who left here are as
sured of sweaters. Along with their
army clothing will come the gifts
of the Red Crss. That is, of course,
unless the California weather is Sc
warm that officers deem the warmer
articles only a burden at this sea
son. But 1t is apparent that the
Red Cross could not promise that
every man would be taken care of
If many chapters insisted on direct
distribution; group here and
there would be taken care OF; the
rest would suffer. Only by the
splendid cooperation of chapters in
acting as manufacturing plants and
shipping to the huge central ware
houses. has 1t been made possible
that every man can be supplied.
Gave Only Gift
The Rock Island Red Cross has
done what is right and what was
best, not only for its own boys but
for other boys; it has done its part
in furthering the great system by
which every man is enabled to re-
ceive his Red Cross articles. 1t
sent the boys off with the one d.
rect gift it may make. refreshments
from the canteen committee. And
at camp a Red Cross field director
awaits them, and is ready to give
them the knitted articles they may
need.
