Clover priced mixtures of cheaper
wool, cotton and shoddy" are immeas-
urably superior"
Such a statement hardly deserves an
answer, but we L finding that the
fact that it was reprinted in a period
ical of the standing of the Digest has
given it a weight that it does not de-
serve, and that the minds of some of
our good workers are being disturbed
by it.
The facts of the cases are there:
In every cantonment in this country,
and with every army division abroad,
are representatives of the Red Cross
whose duty it is to study the needs
of the men in the army. In Paris is
the French commission, headed by
Jas. H. Perkins, and having on its
staff some of the keenest of u
American business men. These men
are in constant communication with
General Pershing and the higher army
officers. They report to the Red Cross
war council in Washington, composed
of such men as Harvey P. Dawson,
George B. Chase, John D. Ryan, Har-
|vey D. Gibson and Cornelius N. Bliss,
Jr. In cooperation with the war and
navy departments and with the al
Industries board, these men determine
the policy of the Red Cross and what
its productive activities are to be.
When they make a statement of
need, it is based on careful investiga-
ton, both of the need and of the
available supply of raw material.
They have recently asked American
women to knit for the army and navy
100000 pairs Of socks. They know
what they are talking about when
they make this request. There can be
no question that the higher officials,
responsible, for the care Of the Ameri-
can army, want the Red Cross to knit
the socks, and to knit them at once,
and if the women of the Red Cross
allow the irresponsible u]tterances of
any individual to influence them to
cease their knitting, some of our
soldiers will be u%nprovided with suf-
ficent socks when the winter comes
on.
Yours very truly,
F. T. Heffelfinger,
Division Manager.
