BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MORE KNITTERS NEEDED; SWEATERS ' IN DEMAND SAYS WORK CHAIRMAN There is an-immediate and imepra- tive need for more kinitters for Red Cross work,‘ announces Mrs. Robert Orr, chairman of the’ knitting depart- ment of the Burleigh county chap-| ter. Ladies whi wish to knit swear ers—and this applies to gentlemen knitters as well—may. begin at once, advises Mrs, Orr, as a new ‘call: has come for swefters. 3 Theer-is also a need for more sox. The number of sox received from the various chapters for the monih of June was very gratifying, but it did not represent one-third of .he quota of sox:for which the Red Cross has been”asked, reported the Northern Division Bulletin, published at division headquarters in: Minneapo!'s, There- fore, for the months of July. and Au- gust, the women are once more ask to knit faster than ever, and new v4 uinteers are urged to enter the work. The Northern Division hopes by Sep- tember 1 to have brought. its allot- ment up to the mark, and thus to re- deem itself with national headquar ters at Washington. X Referring to a recent article in the Literary Digest, entitled, “Why Not to Knit,” written by Samuel:S. Dale. in which the writer states tis opinion that hand-knit sox are made from “yarn that is soft and fluffy and lack: ing in durability,” and the “machine: knit sox made of lower-priced mix- tures of cheaper wool, cotton and shoddy are immeasurably superior,” the Northern Division. Bulletin has with every army division’ abroad, are ‘representatives ‘of;. the. Red Cross whose duty it isto’ study: the needs ft the men in the army. In Paris 1 the French Commission, headed by James H. Perkins, and having on its staff’ some '.of the. keenest of our American business men. These men are in constant. communication with General Pershing and higher army of- ficers. They report to the Red Cross War Council in Washington, com- posed of such men as Henry P. Davis: on, George B. Case, John D. Ryan, Harvey D. Gibson and Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr. In co-operation with the war and navy departments and. with the war imdustries board, these men determive the policy of the Rew Cross and what its productive activities are to be. When they make a statement of need, it is based on careful investiga- tion, both of the need and of the avait- able supply of raw material. They have recently asked American women to knit for the army and navy 6,000,000 pairs of socks, 2,300,000 sweaters and other knitted articles in proportion: They know what they. are talking about when they make this request. There can be no question that the -higher officials. responsible for the care of the American army, want the Red Cross to knit the socks, and to knit them at once, and if the women of the Red Cross allow the irrespon- sible utterances of ‘any individual to the following, to say The facts of the case are these: In every cantonment in the country, and WORK—STUDY—PERSONALITY: - WINS FOR HIM » Washington, July 25.—Here is the hub of big affairs, where generals and admirals are as numerous as ad- jectives in a graduation essay; where celebrities go outdoors for elbow room—in: thts dazzling dictionary of military breins,and achievement the name of Major General Hunter Liggett remains in black-face’ type, The man who has just been chosen to command the first American army corps in’ France—next to Pershing’s the biggest job in our'war game—isn’t readily forgotten: He has not. been stationed in’ Washington for three years, but the memory of him is fresh.

Soldiers standing waist, deep-in brine, were pumping and bail- ing ‘like fiends. And in the middle of the mess, himself soaked and bed- raggled, was Liggett. They had wanted to. quit, would have quit through sheer fatigue greater than fear’ of death itself. But © Liggett wouldn’t let ‘em.

And that fact has influenced civil- jan fashions to a marked degree—not only in the matter of wool shortage for civilian wear, but in the cut of the clothes themselves.
