Garment Men Ignore
Appeal of Red Cross
ANUFACTURERs OF cioaks.

\ 4 ANuFAcTuREhs OF cioaks'
M suits and skirts have not
responded inS the manner
expected to the request Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross TO make robes for
wounded American soldiers In France.
The Red Cross asked the manufac-
turers more than a month ago to
make $4,000 garments to be shipped
abroad. but out Of 500 established
concerns only thirty volunteered their
services.
All that was asked of the factories
was that they furnish the light. power
and packing for the garments. No
money was requested. 1t was ex-
pected that they would keep open
shop for an hour or two overtime to
do the work. The employees volun-
teered their services. but according
to Red Cross ofYiclals the response Of
the manufacturers has been almost
negligible.

Dear folks:-
1t has been raining here a good deal
of late, but yesterday was fine and the
big review was pulled off. There were
many visitors out to see it. Thursday
we dug trenches in the mud and rain,
and tramped three miles to the work,
the mud in some places a foot Deep.
/ came pretty near going to France
the other day. Nine men We're chosen
from this company to go with quota
from Camp Kearney, and was one Of
the nine. Later, the number was re-
duced to six, and my name was taken
off the list.

preparations for the banquet. at this

FRED WILT WRITES OF
LIFE AT CAMP MERRITT

Camp Merritt, March 12, 1918.
o. o. Wilt, Gunnisoh.
Dear Father:
z left Florida on the third and land
ed here a couple of days ago. This
Camp (Camp Merritt) is about fifteen
miles from New York and il . stop
over place for the troops going to
France. We expect to leave soon,
don't laow just when. haven't Wis
tied the big city yet as they will issue
only two passes each day to a COM
pany. I experienced my frst real
snow storm in fifteen years few days
ago. 1t showed steady for about ten
hours. It is all gone now and the
mud is about knee deep. The wealth
er is pretty cold but we have heaters
in our barracks and lots Of good warm
clothing. The fruit trees were all in
bloom and budding out when we left
Florida.
President Wilson's daughter, Mar
guarite, entertained US with . few
songs at the Y. NJ. C. A. last night.
There are number Of Y. n. C. A.
buildings in each camp and they are
sure a contribution and comfort to
the boys.
There are lots Of drafted men here.
l have visited several companies Of
them. They show fine spirit. When
once a fellow gets into the army his
views soon change; most of them are
SO anxious to get to France and see
some more action.
Must close; address me,

GOVERNMENT TO TAKE
COAL MINES APRIL FIRST

A great drastic coal measure is an
nounced for April, first. On that date
the government is to take over the con-
troll of every coal mine in America for
the year. We do not understand that
it will take active management OF the
mines, but assume control as it has of
the railroads.
This is really the only solution, but
whether it will help much or not de-
pends on whether President Wilson
gets somebody different than Garfield
as general manager.
