LETTER FROM HUBERT SMITH

l The Following letter has been received and is self-explanatory
 August 10, 1918. The Editor Red Cross Section, Bir- mingham Age Herald. Birmingham, Ala
 Dear Sir: No doubt your article in the Thursday paper quoting from MT. Dale's statement that Red Cross
 knitted articles are not used and that | it would be better to conserve the wool by stopping this part of the Red Cross service, and MT. Jacksens able reply has created a good deal of interest at home For this reason, feel moved to put in my oar.
 No doubt American soldiers have mot been seen wearing Red Cross knit expeditionary forces, and for very good reason. A special order from the adjutant general of the army to commanding generals of all depart ments and divisions in the United States. the commanding officers of all excepted places, etc, relating to the wearing of these garments, says, after specifically authorizing their use and wear, %% but this article will at no time be worn as an outer gar- ment." So. the only time Major Boehm or anybody else would find our soldiers in these sweaters would be when they were enjoying a shirt hunt" or loung- ing around their quarters len disha- bille."
 ISSUANCE OF GARMENTS
 Part of our work here in camp IS the issuance of these knitted gar ments to the men, As the demand is so much greater than the supply, we only issue to troops beginning their Journey for the front (and I may say that right at the present time we are very much afraid our supply is not great enough to meet the calls from units about to leave for ports of em- barkation).
 T would like to tell you just what our average weekly distribution is, but. while it would not exactly be giving very much aid or comfort to the en- emy, it would be releasing military in- formation which can only be done by proper authorities. I may say, how ever, that the distribution at this camp. which is not a large one by any means, exceeds by several times the weekly 7OulpuL or clty the SlZe and effi- ciency of Birmingham.
 Tt might interest you to know that these knitted garments are issued only on order of the officer commanding the unit about to leave and then only after he has made an inventory of his men to ascertain who of them already nave these articles His order is for those only who have not already re- Ceived these garments from their friends from O RaH al the garments are issued No the men they are placed on their clothing record and they are responsible for them just the same as for the articles of cloth ing the government issues them. So. you see, they cannot dispose of them. { It would surprise you to see just now glad the men are to get their
