Bulletin recently issued by Brigadier
General Frederick S. Foltz at Camp
Lewis, Washington. As it relates to
the method employed in distributing
the knitted articles upon which the
women of Seward are so busily en
gaged, it will no doubt be of interest
to the members of the local chapter.
The American Rod Cross Society
lesircs to furnish one woolen sweater
and two pairs of woolen socks to all
members of this Command who need
them. These articles are to be issued
to each regiment as part of the regi
mental equipment and not as the per
sonal property of the soldier, so that
when a man is separated from the
service these articles should remain
with the regiment for reissue.
Regimental and separate organiia-j
tion commanders will submit to this
office before noon Monday, January
28, 11)1 S, a requisition of the number
of sweaters and socks needed com
pletely to equip their organization.
This does not contemplate the fur
nishing of additional sweaters, ar.d in
cases where men already have sweat
ers and socks and do not need more,
no requisition should be placed for
these men.14In a letter from C. D.
:>timson, Division Manager in regard
to the distribution of knitted articles
we quote the following:
“You will readily set the advantage
of sending all articles through the re
gular channels so that they can he
given to the men who really need
them.
It avoids any chance of duplication
and will insure a proper check being
: kept on the equipment so that it n ay
not be *old or given away.”
Another shipment of knitting will
he sent on the next boat to Seattle.
\11 women having finished articles
are requested to turn them into the
work room as soon as possible.

CITY TO PAY
FOR CLUSTER
LIGHTS SOON
The city councilman held a short
session last night the most important
business perhaps being that pertain
ing to the purchase of the cluster
lights at Broadway and Washington.
The owners claim that the cluster
lights were installed with the under
standing that the city should pur base
them later. Last night the matter
was brought up again and the city
clerk was instructed to inform the
owners of the lights that they wctnu
he reimbursed when the finances of
the city were better, payment to be
made at the same rate as the city
pain, for the other cluster lights on
Brr'id way.
Ail councilman wee present with
‘he exception of M»\ DuhteiL Three
small bills were ordered paid, the
finance committee having O. Ked
