ho claim to be without knitted

Who claim to be without knitted goods.
 An exceptionally long list was re- reived from the ...... Chapter giving the names of .... men in the at Camp Devens who claim to be without sweaters, etc. This report was immediately investigated and l have before me a copy of letter sign ed by ........, supply officer Camp Devens, Mass, in which he says in part:
 "Referring to your letter of January srd regarding Red Cross sweaters for ...... men, we find all men in this regiment have sweaters.
 Recently men from ........ have been transferred into this regiment from other organizations which were being supplied by the .......... Red Cross. These men did not receive any, thing from the ........ Red cross, but were all supplied with sweaters fl om other sources.
 These men from ........ hearing that others, were receiving supplies from the ....... Red Cross, desired to be included" This is just another case where To- cal chapters by breaking the rules have seriously interfered with our work. It is only natural that the ........ men bearing that some of their neighbors received sweaters direct from home, felt that they also should receive them no matter if they were duplicates While at camp yesterday. a, shipmen! was received from the ........ chap | ter, ........ Conn.,, of 60 sweaters, 6t helmets. SO mufflers and 2 pair of bed socks. This shipment I classify as ab- solute waste as it merely goes into | the storehouse at Camp Devens. | The division quartermast receiv- ed on January sth 26,000 helmets from the army stores. These he is going
 to issue immediately. l I can state as @ fact, which was
 borne out by the statement of the di. vision quartermaster that every mar
 at Camp Devens now has a sweater pair of wristlets and a muffler and a;
 soon as the helmets are distributed
 every man will be provided with ont of these also.
 There is not the slightest need O
 any further shipments of any kind go 1 ing to Camp Devens. This fact i' l being advertised through all the state.

ANOTHER DIPHTHERIA VICTIM
Death of North Main Street Woman is
 Second Within Past Few Days.

The second death within the past few days from diphtheria occurred on Wednesday when Mrs. Joseph Zu- browsky of 257 North Main street suc- eumbed after short illness. Although there have been two fatalities from the disease within week there is by no means an epidemic. The two cases were in no way Connected. City Health Officer B. J. Brophy said Wed nesday evening that there was abso- 1utely no danger of an epidemic and that the number of contagious cases was below the average for the season. A diphtheria case was reported about three weeks ago but the child is now
 practically recovered. Dr. Brophy said that there was an average of from three to four cases of diphtheria in
 the city each month during the year. There is one case of scarlet fever in town but this is not regarded as serious. The danger from glanders is believed to be over as all the horses that were exposed have been examined and no symptoms of tn disease have been found

MAKING BID FOR STATE FARM
Committee of Fifty Appointed In Effort to Secure Womans Institution For Norwich Many Available Sites In This Vicinity.

Through the efforts of the Chamber of Comerce, a concerted drive tow ards securing the state farm for wom- en for Norwich is being made, and a committee of fifty of the substantial members of the chamber has been ap- pointed by President F. w. Cary. The committee is headed by His Honor Mayor Allyn l.. Brown.
 Interest in the project was devel.
 oped Tuesday when the Chamber of
 Commerce, through the chambers sec
 retary, received an invitation from
 Mrs. Frances D. Colt, president of the
 United Workers, inviting all the mem
 bers to attend the annual meeting of
 the United Workers to be held in Park
 church at p. m. Sunday, Jan 20th,
 and hear Dr. Valeria H. Parker of the
 board of directors and member of the board of trustees appointed by
 Governor Heleomb
 One of the first duties devolving
 upon the trustees is the location of 3 suitable, site for the institution. The bill calls for at least 200. acres of di- versified land with adequate water supply. Fifty. thousand dollars has been appropriated to, cover purchase of land, the erection. of buildings and
 maintenance for period intervening be- fore the next session of the legislature. It will quickly be seen therefore, that 1 only a nominal sum will be available for the purchase of land.
 The chamber believes that no greater boon to Norwich could accrue than through the locating of this institution on the east side of the Thames river | The west side is rapidly being i'm proved, made possible by the building l of a first class state highway. With the east side highway completed to a point near the Norwich state hospital I for the insane, and on the southern extremity from the submarine base tc | Groton, there remains link of some seven miles that loffers a barrier tt the development of territory lyins
