10 CITY'S RED CROSS RECEIVES PRAISE More Knitters Arc Needed to Get Winter Goods Beady For the Soldiers Praise for the work of the Har risburs Chapter. American Red Cross, is contained in a letter from Mrs. Ruth L. Coxe. superintendent of knitted goods. addressed to the chairman of the local chapter. She pleads for more workers and more knitted articles. Her letter follows: "The division feels that it must congratulate your chapter both on the quality of your work and your splendid output of knitted articles during the last seven months. We are now about to send out tlie new Knitting Bulletin from Washington and we beg of you to. as quickly as possible, get your best knitters to make samples for each of their branches and auxiliaries, following the new rules exactly. As an O. K. ■ hapter. when you have what you i all a "sample box" of all knitted articles, send one in to us marked a3 such from the chapter and we will inspect it carefully, writing you of its contents. The changes will. I know, make your inspectors work harder at first. but this is a most necessary work. Common sense should be used in advising the amount of stitches to put on for the different articles, especially sweat ers and socks, as we are in every case trying to make a useful article, and there is such a difference in the sire of the wool. If rules are follow ed exactly as to needles" and wool they will be correct. The demand for socks is unlimited. We must also have a good supply of all other required articles by Sep tember I. so beg those going away for the summer to take a good supply of wool with them. In cases where wool is too expensive for the knit ters who do excellent work, there are always articles to be repaired or re knit. or socks to have the knots in the soles darned in. and such knit ters must feel that their Work is most useful to use and saves it be ins done at division headquarters." 39 Names on the Army Casualty List; Hershey Soldier Severely Injured Washington.

The summary, which includes yes terday's list, follows: Killed in action (including 291 at sea). 1,172. Died of wounds. 364. Died of disease, 1,234. Died of accident and other causes 422. Wounded In action. 4.547. Missing in action (including pris oners). 346. Total casualties reported to date, 8.085. With more than 800,000 soldiers sent overseas, officials pointed to the small number. 291. lost through operations of German submarines as showing the effectiveness of the con voy system. The men lost were on torpedoed British steamers, Tuscania and Moldavia. The former was tak ing troops from America to England and the latter from England to France. The comparatively small number of men dying from wounds is point ed to as indicating the efficiency of the ambulance and hospital systems, while the fact that only 1,23 4 men have died of disease is accepted as proof of the excellent physical con dition of America's fighting men. Another satisfying consideration is that of the wounded men, a very high percentage return to duty at the front u lees than ix weeks.

"Since then the world picture has changed Kor nearly four years, forced to it by our enemies, we have been engaged in the hardest struggle history records. God the Lord has laid a heavy burden upon my shoul ders but 1 carry it in the conscious ness of our good right, with confi dence in our ship, our sword and our strength and in the realization that 1 have the good fortune to stand at the head of the most capable peo-i ule on earth.

Million Yanks "Over There" by July 4th; All Drives Stopped Washington. June 17.—"The four German drives," said General March, "one beginning March 21. the next| April 9, the third May 27, and the! present one beginning on June 9, are! all part of the common scheme of, offensive. Looking at this map you I see this red dotted line of the inter . ior running down to the Swiss fron tier. which represents the allied line when the Germans began their ad vance on March 21. Considering, as a whole, the succession of attacks the first penetrated this line some thirty six miles into Picardy; the second some thirteen miles Into Flanders, and the third drive a distance of thirty-eight miles further along the Marne. Under the present drive the line has been penetrated an averuge distance of from five and a half to six miles. 'Obviously the objective of the German advance is. first the chan nel ports, which would make it nec essary for England in shipping troops to France to go further out ; to sea and a longer distance —mak- i ing the turn-around longer and slow- I ing up the movement and making it , more dangerous: second, Paris. i which, of course, is a great strategic I objective, because of its importance •sentimentally and practically to the | people of France. j "All of these drives have been i stopped. The last advance, the ad j vance which we are now considering j in the daily press, the news of which j you are now getting, is more to ' straighten out the German line than ! 't is an advance, considered as a mil ! itary movement with a definite and important objective, like Paris, for instance." Million Over Before Fourth Now there is every reason to be lieve that on or before the Fourth of July will come the announcement to the people of the United States that their army overseas amounts to more than a million men. Some of the officials at the department want ed all announcements deferred until j "a big, round figure" could be given : out but the actual figures became so I generally talked about that it was | decided to authorize General March j to say to-day that the 800,000 mark j had "been passed." 1 But the million mark is to be only j the beginning of America's effort. There is more talk in Washington to day of an army of 8,000,000 men than there was a month ago of 5,- 000.000 men. War is ever a progres sive game. It grows and grows, and the dreamers of one day are conser vatives the next. It must fill Ex-Pres ident Taft and Major General Leon ard Wood with much personal satis faction to hear their first estimates of 5,000,000 men discussed nowadays as an almost "reactionary." mini mum.

Hoover Calls Short Weight Profiteering in Its Worst Form WuHhiitßton. Herbert Hoover sprang a surprise on the retail profi teer when he declared that the butchers or grocers found guilty by local authorities of questionable trade practices come under the Food Administration ban. Retail mer chants found guilty of short weigh ing. misrepresentation of quality, violation of pure food laws are guilty of profiteering. It was stated. "I believe short weighing the most pernicious form of profiteering." said Mr. Hoover. "Any other trade practice that shows the merchant ] taking advantage of the consumer Implies the same tendency and should be punished. It will be when we get the evidence." Retail butchers are said to be th most persistent offenders. Many complaints have reached officials from all parts of the country.* The records of merchants charged with profiteering will be carefully ex amined by food officials. If city or town records show such offenders to hove been found guilty of similar offenses within the last year, espe cially of short welghltvr, such, evi dence will be used as a basis for prosecution.
