RED CROSS NOTES

Thai the many millions CT Rcd Cross
knitters may know tie plans of the
Red Cross for future knitting, George
r. Scott, ac> ng manager of tie ma
tional oreani2 ton. today issued the
following sta .nent:
"When the war industries board
some time o ~ advised the Red Cross
yarn would be greatly reduced, we i'm
mediately commenced to purchase all
yarns suitable for our knitting. AS q
result, we have today in stock or on
order, 100000 pounds of var nfor
distribution to our chapters. 1t is
hoped that we may obtain some addi-
tional yarn from wool unsuitable for
government uses.
''The expected total, however, will
be considerably below the ten mil
lion pounds used last year. While the
tota. of yarn we can secure is being
determined, we are studying how to
use our supply to produce only gar
ments which are most essential. When
a conclusion is reached we will an
nounce our full program of knitting.
"In addition to this stock of yarn,
the Red Cross has on hand | 100000
sweaters, $4,000 mufflers, $4,000
wristlets, 228,000 helmets, and $685.
900 pairs of socks-a total of 1884,
900 articles. We are hopeful there
fore that these and such additional
garments as we shall be able to make
will enable us to meet the more ur-
gent requirements of our men during
the coming winter. In this connec-
tion it will be interesting to the wom-
on tIrhn I,,,,
that from September 1, 1917 to June
l3, 1918 the Red Cross distributed
5,875,000 knitted garments to the
Army and Navy of the United States.
During the same period $4,000 knit
ted articles were sent to the Red
Cross commissioners in France and
Italy for distribution to soldiers, sail
ors and civilians.
"At the request Of the war indus
tries board, with which the Red Cross
works in close cooperation, we have
urged chapters and individual work
ers not to buy wool in the open mar
Het but to secure their material
through our department Of supplies" :"
To provide for conditions brought
by Germanys constant shifting of
American prisoners from one camp to
another with the result that parcels
of food and clothing may not reach
them for weeks, the American Red
Cross, according to advices from
Berne has completed cooperative ar
rangements with the French Relief
agencies to assist in che Immediate
care of all newly arriving Americans.
Under this arrangement, French
Committees at the German prison
camps, supply food and clothing from
their reserve stocks, until the Ger
mans see fit to let news of the arrival
get to the Red Cross at Berne.

BOATS TO BE REPLACED

Washington, Aug. 26.-Fishing
craft destroyed by German subma
rines off the New England coast will
be replaced by the Emergency Fleet
Corporation at the request of the food
administration, with deep sea modern
trawlcrs. Construction will be begun
,mmedlately on seventy-five vessels to
lie in operation on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and the Gulf of Mex
leo early in 1919.
The food administration asked for
the boats in order to INCREASE pro-
drction of salt water fish, and enable
carloads to enter all the interior mar
kets of the country every week in the
year, stabilizing prices at low levels.

In the case of a transferred prison.
er, the Germans frequently dc not let
his friends know his new address for
two or three weeks, during which
time, of course, he receives no par
GELS from the outside.
Captain Provot, in charge of French
Relief at Berne, has notified all
French Committees In prisons in
Southern Germany to supply food and
necessaries to all Americans whether
newly captured or transferred, the
moment they arrive at any camp
where there is no American Red Cross
Committee or American reserve stock
of supplies. He has requested the
other French prisoners depots at
Paris and Lyons to send similar in
struGtionS to all prison committees
supplied by them. These french Com
mittees also report the arrivals of
Americans to the American Red
Cross, which at once begins regular
shipments Of food and clothing. Any
supplies furnished by the French
to Americans to maintain them until

mittees with reserve stocks as RAPIDLY
as 1t can ge; in touch with groups at

f.'ready are established at Tuchel,
Brandenburg, Fillengen and Darn
tadt.
The Secretary of War had ,lctcr-
mined after con. ultation with Bishop
rrrnt, that the Army should c,mm,s
SION as first lieutenants all chaplains
in the Red Cross service. Cable in
structions have gone 20 France au-
thorlZing this Army commission to be
offered Red Cross chaplains there who
are qualified. The same offer is TO
be made to chapains in this country
now enrolled by the Red Cross, sub
Ject, OF course, to the usual examina-
ton, tho the question OF age is some
times being waived
This conclusion on the part of the
Secretary is the result of long con-
slderatlon by Military Authorities as
TO the proper way to handle Chaplain
Service for the American Expedition-
airy Forces.
In view of this decision, the Red
Cross will not send Chaplains TO
France in the future. Acceptance of
