Scott, ac, ng manager of the na tional organi-. .tion, today issued the following sta' nent: "When the war industries board some tinae n advised the Red Cross that future production of knitting yarn would be greatly reduced, we im mediately commenced to purchase all yarns suitable for our knitting. As a result, we have today in stock or on order, 1,400,000 pounds of yar nfor distribution to our chapters. It is hoped that we may obtain some addi tional yarn from wool unsuitable for government uses. "The expected total, however, will be considerably below the ten mil lion pounds used last year. While the tooa~ of yarn we can secure is being determined, we are studlying how to use our supply to produce only gar ments which are most essential. When a conclusion' is reached we will an nlounce our full p)rogram1~i of knitting. "In adldition to this stock of yarn, the Red Cross has on hand 1,600,000 sweaters, 1341,000 mufflers, :384,000 wristlets, 228,000 helmecs, and 1,328, 000 pairs of socks-a total of 3,674, 000 articles. We are hopeful there tore that these and such additional1 garments as we shall be able to make will enable us to meet the more ur gent requirements of our men during the coming winter. In this connec tion it wvill be interestmng to the wonm en who have been' knitting to know that from September 1, 1917 to Tune 13, 1918 the Red Cross distributed 5,875,000 knittedl garments to the Army and Navy of the United states. [During the same periodl 870,000 knit ted articles were sent to the RedI Cross conmmissioners in France andl Italy for dlistribution to soldliers, sail ors and civilians. "At the request of' the war indus tries board, with which the Red Cross works in close co-operation, we have urged chapters and1 individual work "rs not to buy wool in the openf mar Ncet but to secure thdir material throtgh our dlepartment of sup~plies."~ To provide for condiltions brought by Germany's constant shifting of American prisoners from one camp to another with the result that parcels of food and clothing may not reach them for weeks, the American Red Cross, according to advices frolm ' Borne has completed co-operative ar Tangements with the French Relief agencies to assist in the immediate care of all newly arrivmng Americans. Under this arrangement, French Committees at the German prison camps, supply food and clothing from their reserve stocks, until the Ger mans set' fit to let news of the arrival get to the Red Cross at Berne.

The same offer is to er made to chaplains in this country ow enrolled b~y the Red Cross, sub eet, of course, to the usual examina ion, tho the question ot age is some imes being waived. This conclusion on the part of the ecretary is the result of long con ideration by Military Authorities as o the proper way to handle Chaplain ervice for the American Expedition ry Forces. In view of this dlec:sion, the Redl Dross will not send Chaplains to 'rance in the future.
