BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE ARIES Fo SOLU BU in Noble Work for Warriors at the Front NEEDLES DOING SERVICE IN THIRD AMERICAN WAR Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 24.—Since Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, Ameri- can Red -Cross commissioner in France, cabled a month ago an*urgent request for knitted articles to protect the soldiers of the American cxpedi- tionary force this winter the norta- west has produced 9,997 knitted arti- cles and started them on the way to |* Orsanized Labor Cannot Line Up With “Non-Patriotic” League France, it was announced today by northern division headquarters. The patriotic women of the northwest are now making 8,41 additional knitted articles, it was also announced, and these will be forwarded within the month, 4 While this, in the opinion of Ameri- can Red Cross officials, is an enviable record, it would have been doubled had knitting yarn and knitting needles been as plentiful as knitters. And this record, furthermore, does not rep- resent the total output of the north- west, for many knitted articles were made by other relief societies before the American Red Cross became the central shipping agency. for all war relief material, and many Red Cross chapters have been slow in reporting on the progress of their work on their knitting assignments. In cases where a chapter has been slow in reporting estimates for that chapter have been extremely conservative. Compliments Women, “The promptness and willingness displayed by the women of the states of the division—Minnesota, Montana, North and South Dakota—in mobiliz- ing for the work of ptotecting our fighting men from the rigorous cold of the trenches is one of the most magnificent aspects of war activities,” says A. R. Rogers, manager for the northern difision. “Over night thousands of knitting needles began to flash and within a week the patriotic and industrious women of the division had started a stream of warm, knitted articles flow- ing toward France. This stream has been growing daily, and its size now is regulated only by the amount of yarn that can be procured to feed it. Needles of ’61. “I venture to say no response ever issued. by the American Red Cross, or.any other similar organization, found so many willing and capable hands to fulfill it. Knitting needles that had restéd since their owners saw the boys of ’61 marth back to home are plying now, busier than ever. Mrs. John Gould of Morris, Minn., is’ using needles that are veterans, of two wars. “Throughout the entire United States it is the same way. To put the saying of a public man of other days in more apt words, ‘A million patriotic American women took up their knitting needles in a day.” The ones who were proficient became in- structors, and their work is now com- ing back an hundredfold.” Reports from the Field. In North Dakota, Wahpeton will have 286 articles, it reports, within a week or so. Lisbon is working on 50 knitted sets, most of them nearly complete. i Sioux Falls, S. D., has sent 108 pair of wristlets, 12 pair of socks and 18 mufflers. “We can double that out-} put when we get the yarn,” the chap- ter adds to its report. Redfield has sent_109 pair of socks. The knitted articles already pro- duced include 492 knitted sets, eight navy sets, mufflers, 1,170° pair of wristlets, 2,143 pair of socks and 44 hemlits.

It was the 5th.of September in The city’s mayor was in hiding. He had outraged the city and the nation by inviting the traitorous People’s Council to meet in his city. So he ‘was hiding at the home of his pro-German boss, while the first. con- tingent of drafted men from Chicago were waiting in the grimy old ‘Union station for their train to pull out for Camp Grant. r The kid was one of the contingent. He was in his glory. The train plat- form had been cleared ,a pair of Ital- ian barvers—of the contingent—were strumming their guitars ,and the kid was tangoing gleefully and indiscrim- imately with every pretty girl within reach. And they were all pretty to him then and he to them. He was a good dancer. He was a good tennis player. He was a well- dressed, happy kid. Then the train moved. He dropped his partner and leaped aboard. A few seconds later he stuck his head out of a car window, and in those few seconds he had changed. He was ser- ious. As he looked at the crowd a thought had smitten him, and that’s hard on a happy kid ef twenty one. He looked at a group of-us who weren’t going. He was trying to put something big in words ,and he was only twenty-one. And then it came. “Say, you fellows,” he said, stam- mering a little, “you—you know ‘you gotta take care of the other kind— that Thompson bunch—whjle we're away.”—And that’ was his goodbye. Well?
