More Sweaters Needed. The War Council of the Ameri can Red Cross recently sent the following statement to all Division Managers: "It is imperative that all of the sweaters, wristlets and Bocks that can possibly be made by the wo men of tho country should be turned in to the Supply Depart ment at the earliest possible date. With the cold weather coming on, the demand, for sweaters espe cially, has been beyond the ca pacity of all our resources to sup« ply. We have forwarded prompt ly all knitted artioh's received from the Chapters and have in addition been compelled to buy in the market 550,000 sweaters, of which about 250,000 have been delivered. The-e sweaters are machine knit and the yarn used is a mixture of cotton and wool, so that it does not withdraw any con siderable amount of yarn from the women knitters of the Red Cross. We are buying all the yam we are able to secure that is suitable for knitters and sending it out to the Chapters as fast as we can get de livery of it. We have received from the Chapters about 200,000 sweaters, approximately the same number of machine-made sweat ers, all of which have been de livered to the men iu the cainps and training stations, with the exception of a few thousand which we have had to send to France. The requests of our organization in France for sweaters aud knit ted goods have had to remain un satisfied on account of out in ability to secure enough for men in,our own Army and Navy. We call upon the women to give us their very b»»st effort from now until at least January Ist, that we may be able to fhrnish our own men with these comforts and have some to spare for the dire needs in France."
