Red Cross is required to adopt a
standard of quality that will go
furthest in supplying a good quality
OF Worsted\ yarn suitable for war
purposes. An contracts for this
yarn must be made by the depart
ment of supplies at Red Cross ma
tional headquarters, for which the
necessary wool will be released, on
order. from the Red Cross depart
nsent Of supplies, by the war indus
tries board as fast as it is obtain
able in excess Of the necessary re-
Quirements of the quartermaster's
department."
The Red Cross will place these
orders for yarn to be delivered to
Its divisions as fast as the bureau
OF development at national head
quarters advises the number Of
articles the chapters in each div1s-
ion will be required to make.
Need Not Buy Independently.
The new plan will do away with
the practice of Red Cross chapters
buying yarn independently in the
open market. The purpose of the
ruling is to conserve yarn and,
stabilize it's price. The custom of
independent buying has resulted in
chapters bidding against each other
and thereby raising the price of
yarn in some instances to exorbitant
figures.
Chapters can only procure their
yarn upon specific requisition
through their divisional headquar-
tiers. To preclude the keeping Of
yarn at home by individuals all wool
must be accounted for in finished
garments after each issue. This
move will take all yarn in the army
and navy colors from the public
market, so that not any can be pur-
chased and made up by individuals
into gifts This will stop the over
tapping Of efforts so that a soldier
or sailor receiving garments from
the Red Cross will not also receive
from one to q dozen duplicate gar
rnents as personal gifts.

Washington, June 20 Especial. y
Great opposition has developed to
the war departments plan to send
the United States hospital ship
Comfort through the German sub
marine zone unconvoyed and unarm-
ed. When the government decided
upon this course, 1t was announced
that this test case would show
whether the Germans were or were
not conducting their warfare accord
ing to the rules laid down by the
Hague conventions Opponents of
the plan point out that nothing could
please Germany better than to be
given the chance to let this unarm-
ed vessel go through uninjured.
Then the German propagandists
could set up the cry that all this
talk about Germany destroying al
lied hospital ships had been false.
If the Comfort goes unframed

Independent Yarn Buying to
Be Done AWQy With By K. C.

Following the recent announce
ment by the war industries board
that the government had taken over
the entire wool clip OF the. country
for the ensuing year, plans have
been announced for the handling of
all available wool in order that the
immediate military needs of the
government be satisfied.
Stringent methods for the con-
servation Of raw wool for military
purposes had become SO necessary
that a conference was called be-
ltWeen representatives Of the wool
commodities section of the war in
dustries board and the American
Red Cross. AT the close of this
conference the following joint state
nlent. was authorized:
Red Cross Second.
1t is obvious that the first allot-
ment of this wool must first go to
the military requirements OF the
government, and that any surplus
remaining will first be used for fill
ing the requirements Of the Amerf-
can Red Cross, as next in import
ance to the prosecution Of the war
In view Of the uncertainty in
ocean shipping, it can not be def
initely known at this time what
amount of wool. If any, viii be
available for Red Cross purposes,
after the original military needs of
the government are satisfied. 1t is
believed, however, that unless un-
foreseen conditions arise, a moder-
ate quantity of wool will be avail
able for the Red Cross
Furthermore, In view Of the
probable scarcity of wool, it is
earnestly desired that the use Of
wool yarns for essential pur-
poses be discouraged in every pos
sibIe manner.
1.-THE war industries board will
hold the department of supplies at

This lis the answer to all those
atroctty stories. The government
itself announced that this would be
a test case Just see how humane
Germany is! This refutes all the
stories Of atrocities that have been
told since the war began"
Every government official knows
that dozens Of hospitals and hos
pital ships have been wantonly de-
stroyed by the Germans. But many
people in neutral countries and even
occasional poorly informed Ameri-
cans still doubt this. The Germans
must appreciate the value for propa-
ganda purposes OF permitting a
single ship, on which the eyes of the
world are turned, 10 escape destruc-
ton la the submarine zone. Wound

Up Fair Plans

Owing to the existence Of various
war conditions, the members Of the
Company B auxiliary, have decided
to give up the plan of managing
the dining hall at the fair grounds
during fair week, July IS to 20, and
the fair board has kindly released
them from the obligation. Several
reasons are given for this action
by the women and the main one is
that the members are all doing their
full share in the Red Cross and war
relief associations and that at this
particular time do not feel that they
can give sufficient time to conduct
a venture Of this kind properly. Ae
there is a sum on hand to cover
all present needs Of the auxiliary, it
was decided to let the matter of
raising funds rest for the present
but later on in the season, some def
mite plan Of action will be worked
out.

have greater vogue than ever in the

fact about it that the practical mind
ed should always remember-it Is eX-

mental in character, are expected to
gain great vogue this summer.
