RECRUIT DID. NOT
PAY FOR R ED
CROSS SWEATER

Mrs. Edith w. Conklin, secretary
OF the Burleigh county chapter, has
traced to its source one of those
rumors that Red Cross articles are
sodl to the, men at the front. or
course everyone knew that the report
was baseless, but these stories cause
the Red Cross societies more irritat-
ing embarrassment than anything
else. II. 5'&,*
In this instance a Burleigh county
soldier stationed at Camp Sherman
wrote to his wife that he had been
"charged"! for a Red Cross garment
A Burleigh county resident wrote to
ascertain the truth and Mrs. Conklin
took it up with the northern division
headquarters. An investigation was
started at once and it was shown
conclusively that the recruit of but
few months service, misunderstood
his officer.
Here are the findings of the cap.
tain Of the company: .
After a thorough investigation it
appears that through misunder.
standing on the part of Corporal
........., Of this company, wrote to
his wife stating that he would have
TO nay for Red Cross sweater.
This soldier, is recruit of but
one months service. and when told
that Ped Cross equipment would be
charged to him. he imagined that the
word "charged' meant that he would
have to pay for the same, when as a
matter of fact, he had merely. been
informed that this equipment would
be charged against him on his indi-
vidual clothing slip as having been Is
sued and he would be held respon'
sible therefore.
From the above investigation it
would appear that the use of ordinary
intelligence would have shown this
soldier that he was In error, and that
the statement he made to his wife
was utterly without foundation.
I'm accordance with instructions
previously received all articles fur
nished by the Red Cross, when issued
to- the men of this company, are
charged against them on their cloth
ing slips, and they are instructed that
they will be held responsible for the
prorer care Of this equipments
THE statement that this soldier
took up this matter with his com
pany commander is not true"
