Greatest Charity Knitted Helmets For Army Must Be Of Olive Drab, .Gray For Navy Confusion has arisen in many parts of the United States in regard to or ders that have gone out from the war department in regard to the regula tion uniform for officers and men in the army, many of whom have not been careful about the details of their dress even when on duty, and this confusion has resulted in rumors and even in statements in the press that knitted articles given by the Red Cross and by Drivate Individuals would not be allowed as part of a sol dier's equipment Under this order. Requests for information on this subject have come to Southern divis ion headquarters, as many Red Cross chapters have spent large sums of money given to knitting. According ly, Z. Bennett Phelps, director of the bureau of military relief, wishes to make public certain sections of a memorandum sent out from the head quarters on the 30th division, U. S. A., at Camp Sevier, which is based on information sent out by the adjutant general by order of the secretary of war. "(c) Knitted woolen helmets, muff lers and wristlets of olive drab color may be worn when, in the opinion of the immediate commanding officer concerned, climatic conditions and lack of sufficient other warm clothing make it necessary. But when the knit helmet is authorized to be worn, the uniform that will in every case be worn in addition to the helmet. Woolen helmets and mufflers of oth er colors than olive drab are absolute ly prohibited. The wearing of the knitted helmet, muffler and wristlets is particularly applicable, when necessary and ad visable, in the case of the guard, driv ers of wagons, trucks, automohiles. etc., prisoners at work, fatigue de tails, working parties and commands on practice and other marches. At formal ceremonies none of the articles of clothing will be worn. (d) Sweaters will not be worn as outer garments. There is nn ahw. tion to sweaters, especially thns r,f olive drab material, being worn un- uer trie shirt or blo.use. It is suggested by division hPH. quarters that Red Cross chapters hav ing on nand a supply of grey wool should make it into sweaters and flocks and save the olive drab wool which is very hard to eet for hefmets, mufflers and wristlets. TURN CASH INTO GUN FIRE We fought and won the Spanish war with 150,000 soldiers and $200, 000,000 bond issue. In men under arms we now have ten times that number. We issued ten times that amount of bonds in the first Liberty Loan. - We are proposing to spend and loan to the allies in the first fis cal year of the war $19,000,000,000. From now until the end of this fiscal year the treasury anticipates needing $300,000,000 a week that is, the treas ury has got to fight financially a Spanish war every four days. That indicates a money measure of the size of this -work, but that is not the real measure. We have just seen that one might have plenty of money, but an empty coal bin. In just the same way the government can have plenty of money, but an unequipped army. This army cannot be equipped as modern warfare demands if the man power of the country is at the same time called upon to produce all of our ordinary comforts and luxuries. It is just as plain as two and two that all of us must make personal sac rifices, must give up comforts and luxuries, even necessary expenditures that can be postponed, if there is to be labor and material enough to equip the army in time for it to fight while It will do some good to have it fight. In war the only effort that is of any value is that -which is ultimately translated into gun fire on the field of battle. The gun fire that will win this war cannot be delivered until all America recognizes individual respon sibility, until the whole people join in the effort by giving up things that they can do without, so that the labor that would have been employed in making those things can do work that will ultimately result in gun fire. The government has offered the opportun ity to translate at once every one's personal patriotism into the sort of help that will win the war. Forego buying something that is unneces sary; loan the money you would have used to the government by buying $5 war savings certificates. You will thus have released labor, you will have given credit to the government, you will have acquired the best se curity in the world, a United States government bond. Frank A. Vander-lip.
