AXSON DISPOSES OF
 RUMORS.ABOUT WOOL

The Birmingham chapter of the Amer ican Red Cross has just received a let ter from Dr. Stockton Axson, national secretary of the American Red Cross which will be of interest to the entire membership of Birmingham. The letter is as follows:
 This cable message, of interest to Bir. bingham, has Just been received at na- tonal headquarters:
 Have had no orders or notifications from General Pershing and have not been able to verify any rumors about use of wool as intimated. PERKINS,"
 'This dsposes officially of the rumor that was doing so much harm in the Birmingham chapter. There never was any real question that this question was baseless, but we have waited to get the official denial from Major Perkins.
 "This would seem a favorable oppor- tunity for saying that on the face of it it Is altogether unlikely that General Pershing or any man in high authority, is going to issue some sweeping order, or even make some sweeping statement, without giving any notification whatso- ever to the persons most concerned In other words, if time ever arrives (and lit never will when the American army does not want knitted goods, we may rely upon 1t that this intimation will be given first to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross. Very sin- cereIy yours STOCKTON AXSON,
 National Secretary
