RED CR19SS NOTES

J That the millions of Red Cross knit
ters my know the plans Of the Red
Cross for future knitting, George E
Scott, acting manager of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, today issued the fol
lowing statement:
when the War Industries Board
some time ago advised the Red Cross
that future production Of knitting yarn
would be greatly reduced we imme-
diately commenced to purchase all
yarns suitable for our knitting. As
result we have today in stock or OF.
order 100000 pounds OF yarn fol
distribution 10 our chapters. 1t is
hoped that we may obtain some add
tional yarn from wool unsuitable for
government uses. The expected total
will however be considerably below the
ten million pounds used last year.
While the total of yarn we can secure
is being determined, we are studying
how to use our supply to produce only
garments which are most essential.
When a conclusion is reached we will
announce our full program OF knitting.
''In addition to this stock of yarn,
the Red Cross has ready for distribu
ton, 100000 sweaters, $4,000 muf
flers, 2S4,000 wristlets, 22S,000 hel-
NETS and 1,32S,000 pairs of socks, a.
total of 3,674,000 articles. We are
hopeful that these and such additional
garments as we shall be able to make
will enable US to meet the more urg-
ent requirements of our men during
the coming winter. In this connection
it will be of interest to the women who
have been knitting to know that from
l, 1917 to June so, 1918, the
Red Cross distributed 5,S75, 900 knitted
garments to the army and navy of the
United States. During the same per-
iod $4,000 knitted articles were sent
to the Red Cross commissioners in
France and Italy for distribution to
soldiers, sailors and civilians.
"At the request of the War Indus
tries Board, with which the Red Cross
works in close cooperation, we have
urged Chapters and individual work
ers not to buy wool in the open market
but to secure their materials through |
our department of Supplies"

COL. PATCH FOR
SCHOOL TRUSTEE

/ When Colonel Patch left for France
he expressed wish that he might re
tain sll Of his connections in the var.
ious lines in which re was interested il
his temporary absence did not conflict
with the interests involved. He has
been retained in his other directorates
and he will, without doubt, be reelec-
ted as Trustee of Independent School
District No. 81 in accordance with his
wish, so that VIXEN ne returns he will
drop into harness in all the activities
in which he was interested before leay-
ing for the front. We owe this con
sideration to the man who is fighting
our battles on the other side. No man
in the district is better qualified for
the colonePs running mate than NJ. F.
Albert. Because he was for ten years
of the Payette schools
and because of his demonstrated in
-erest in the civic welfare Of Payette,
Mr.. Albert is prominently the logical
nan for the school board. Albert and
Patch, therefore, should be reelected
without opposition.

Rest for u. S. Troops
At Stratford Urged

LONDON, May 4.-"The Weekly Dis
patch" tomorrow will feature an edi-
torial, urging the establishments at
Stratford of central "home" for
American soldiers on leave.
I'm the heart of England" says the
paper. there is spot hallowed for
ever in the hearts of all who speak
the English tongue. namely, Stratford,
the birthplace of Shakespeare. Is
there any reason why a rest home for
the American soldier on leave should
not be in this spot?
"Ihe American soldier does not want
cal monuments. To him, as to the
British soldier, there is mo place like
home. Let US give him a worthy one
lie is. here to help US He may be
here for a long time to come. But
when he does go home, what then?
"As we SOW, we shall reap, and if
we SOW we'll to-day we know that,
hen he does go home. he i'll sow the
seeds of everlasting concord ~

Service Dress in Britain

The new Army Council Instruction
referring to the practice of altering
service dress garments. in such man
,aer as to constitute a departure from
the approved pattern" deals with a
matter which has exercised Whitehall
since the beginning of The war. The
collar of the average khaki tunic is
loose, to facilitate the use of gas
masks, but this looseness is not be-
coming, and Atkins willshaye it altered
in his walking out" uniform. For the
sake of smartness, he also insists in
trousers being frightened, in order to
prevent pnsightly bagginess when put
tees are worn. Both these alterations
are unauthorized practices, and al
though A. C. LIS periodically forbid
this and call on officers to act as sar-
torical censors, the regulations have a
a Np pride in their Observation-Disclosures

Big Guns Delayed;
Inquiry Is Planned
Senators Assert Artillery Pro-
duction Has Been Hampered,
as in Case of Aircraft
Especial Dispatch to The T11bune)

\CPeeNI+ AtSputCN 10 1 EG 12UunG)
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Actng on
information which Senators declare
indicates that the artillery programme
of the War Department has failed as
conspicuously as the aircraft pro-
gramme, subcommittee Of the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee has
recommended that the full committee
investigate the progress of artillery
production. 1t is probable that the
investigation will be started about the
middle of next week.
The artillery programme, it is as
serted, has suffered as erious delays
through changes in designs and speci-
tications as was the case with the air
programme. The pressure for heavy
artillery is becoming increasingly
greater on the Western front, it is
pointed out, and Senators to-day ex-
pressed pessimistic views Of the abil-
ity of the Ordnance Bureau to meet
this need
Members of the Senate Committee
declined to Indicate what officials of
the War Department would be sum-
moned to testify on the artillery situa-
tion. Plans for tho investigation
would not be complete, it was stated,
until after meeting of the Military
Affairs Committee early next week

Nephew Of ''Lucky" Baldwin Seeks
Wife, Stout, Who Likes Cold Water
Illinois Girls Are Prejudiced
in Favor of Uniforms, He
Says, SO He Came to
New York

II this city of six million people can
yield one girl who is stout, patriotic
and not afraid of cold water on winter
mornings, Harry Baldwin, of Rockford
Ill.,, nephew of "Lucky" Baldwin and
heir to part of his estate, will take her
back to his farm with him. Harry
came to New York for the specific pur-
pose of getting wife, and if he has
TO go back without one he's going to
be the saddest young bachelor in that
part of the country.
Harry is really lonely. He hasn't a
relative in the world, he said yester-
day, and he needs the companionship
OF nice young girl, 15O pounds of her
at least, one who likes the country, in
cluding icy water in winter, is interest
ed IN church work, Christmas bazaars
and such, and knows how to operate a
frying pan. The Illinois girls are all
fed up with war work and preiudiced
in favor of uniforms. says Harry, so
he came to New York. where he heard
there was "a world of girls" Harry
himself can never wear a uniform, be-
cause he hurt his hand in piano fac
tory several years ago.
"It's right big town." Harry said.
"Oughta be several girls here. Don't
know what's the matter with them out
in Illinois. I've proposed to several,
but somehow they don't take up with
the idea as quick as they ought Had
a friend come to New York for wife.
He got 800 answers and fine mate.
I'D ought to do as we'll, considering the
shortage of men, don't you calculate 2"
Harry offers the following facts
about his own qualifications. He is
twenty-eight, pure United States, with
little Irish background for luck, and
went to college, Leland Stanford, for
three years. He was a professional
baseball player and mechanic before
he took up poultry farming. He is a
Protestant, and never drinks a drop.
When he is thirty some of Uncle
"Lucky's" money is coming to him, and
meantime the chickens are bringing in
pretty good money.

Warns That PEOPLE
OF Sweden Depend
On Allies for Food
Finance Minister Com.
plains Against Persons
Opposing Agreement
With Entente

STOCKHOLM, May 4.-The Swedish
government is striving to the utmost
10 obtain food for the Swedish people
who literally are fighting against
starvation" +. w. Thorssen. Minister
OF Finance, declared in a speech Fri
day at Nystad. He outlined the
agreement with the Entente powers
tor the supply of foodstuffs and other
vital necessities against Swedish ton
mage, and complained that certain in
terested parties in Sweden were OBJ
posing the agreement, thus increasing
the difficulties of the government.
MINISTER Thorssen said that if the
agreement was overthrown, the social
machinery which was fed by the
treasury Department could not bear
the burdens which would be thrown
upon its shoulders. He continued:
me main thing is to get bread; the
price is secondary consideration
The Finance Minister mentioned the
shortage of coal as one of the most
burdensome difficulties, and said that
the cost OF coal was oppressive. Swe-
den had to pay last year 375. 900 900
kroner, lS93,750,000O for half the ouan-
11lty which previously cost 100000 900
kroner.
Moreover" he added, "foreign
countries insist on loans as a condi-
ton for the expectation of their goods.
for coal, Germany exacts a loan Of
100000 kroner m6nthly from Sweden
The price of the mark has sunk. and
accordingly, Germany wants to help
out BY loans. In other words, loan
from Sweden is eXacted for payments
on goods for Sweden"
Minister Thorssen also cited other
dlFcultles which, he said, were strain
ing the country's resources severely
ana were contributing to the deprecia-
