ARTILLERY OF
 FRENCH GIVEN sksAan S5s- As.;. ;,s-
 PRAISE BY HUN

FRENCH FRONT, Feb. [. - Gen eral Ludendorff regarded by the En- tente Allies as the master-mind of the German army, pays an unintentional compliment to the accuracy of French altillerymen in memorandum issued to the troops, which has just been made available to the correspondent of the Associated Press.
 In this document he admits that the French gunners by their counter-bat- tery fire destroyed in one German army alone in the course of month eighty-three German field guns and seventy-two heavy cannon, while they seriously damaged and put out of ac- tion also 2S2 field guns and 2l3 heavy cannon, as well as ninety-one field guns and fifty-nine heavy cannon slightly injured but capable of being repaired and used again in short time.
 To these imposing figures of artil- lery losses caused by the French gun ners, the same German army in the same period of time had the mortifi- cation of adding an almost equally large number of losses brought about bv the wearing out or bursting of guns. In this way seventy-three field guns and twenty one heavy cannon were destroyed; 164 field guns and l29 heavy guns seriously damaged and TIT feld-guns and ninety-one heavy guns slightly disabled.
 The memorandum was issued to the German army by General Ludendortt because his artillery officers had ar gued repeatedly in favor of making counter-battery work secondary to at tacks on infantry and communica- tions. They asserted the French ar tillery directed their guns more gen. erally against the German lnIahIr! than against the artillery batteries. The figures collated by the German general demonstrate the falsity of this argument and show the French determination to prevent the German guns, as far as possible, from being used against the French infantry and lines of communication and supply, and that they do this successfully.
 General Ludendorf in concluding his memorandum points out that by counter-battery work not only is the enemy's artillery destroyed or put out of action. but the opponent is forced to a considerable extent to turn his attention away from the doings of the enemy's infantry which is thus able to naneuyre with greater ease.

RED CROSS KNITTING

George E. Scott, Acting General
Manager of the American Red Cross,
has issued the following statement in
connection with the recent authorized
statment by the War Industries Board
August 10, that the Board "has served
notice on spinners of hand knitting
yarns that because of the military
needs of the Government no more
wooden or worsted hand knitting
yarns may be manufactured until fur
Their notice"
Red Cross women throughout the
country are anxious to know exactly
what our plans are for the future
knitting, and in Justice TO these work
ers who have rendered such fine SER
vice in the past, we wan to make the
present situation clear.
Sometime ago the War Industries
Board avised the Red Cross that in
view Of the recent shortage in raw
material, the future production OF
reduced We Immediately commenced
knitting yarns would be very much
to purchase all yarns suitable for our
today in stock or on order 100000
knitting, and as result we have
pounds of yarn for distribution to our
Chapters. This, of course, is an
amount considerably less than we
used last year, which was approx
mately 100000 pounds 1t is
hoped, however, that in the near fu-
ture, we may obtain some further
supply of yarn male from wool which
is not suitable for Governmental pur-
poses. While the total amount OF
yarn which will be available is being
determined, we are studying the prob
lem of utilizing this supply to pro-
duce only those garments which are
most essential AS soon as these
facts are ascertained, we will an
nounce our full program of knitting.
