 Red Cross Notes
 All are requested to save tinfoil wrappers and give them to the Red flross. You will tini yeast cakes, chewing gum, chocolate and many other things wrapped in it You doubtless throw it away; it means more yarn or other material for the Red Gross.
 The Atlantic Division Headquarters In New York has ordered that no knitted articles be sent to men already in camp. The above which makes it very important that men receive such things before leaving for camp Every woman who has any time to give is needed at Red Cross Head quarters. They cannot invite you individually, but there is work for everyone who will help. It was very early evident that to prevent waste and misuse of knitted material, dis. txibutiOn must be made in systematic manner. The system adopted is to
 xont military units as whole; the Commantling officer canvassing each company, allowing only one outfit to a man, and checking the articles on inspection day in the same manner as material issued by the War Depart ment This system works perfectly except where interfered with by indisCriminate giving, unreoorded on the military lists. This procedure oll the part of chapters and individuals, though undoubtedly done with the best of motives, has caused serious loss, and consequently abuse of Red Cross property. Men are constantly being shifted from unit to unit and from camp to camp, and the field director of the Red Cross is the only man having both access to the records and the inclination to search man out. Any other method of reaching soldier is subject to delay and loss.
 Many letters like these encourage Red Cross workers.
