How Was Whittaker KiUed?
There had been some rumor that Walter Whittaker, one of the colored lads of the Fifteenth Infantry, -^vas not dead. Sunday moming we met Fred Dennison, of the same Regiment, uriio incidentally was wounded on Sep¬ tember 29, and reported in the casu¬ alty list of February 11, and asked kim about this. Dennison had just re¬ turned home the night before, honor¬ ably discharged, and practically recov¬ ered from hia wound. He said that Whittaker was dead, that on a certain CTening he (Dennison) was ordered to go on guard duty, but Whittaker was substituted. In patrolling his keat, he stopped a lieutenant from Alabama, following military instruc¬ tions, and the lieutenant drew his re- Tolver and killed Whittaker instantly. Dennison says that the shell which injured him killed several of his com- ^nions who were with him at the time.

"The  main   point  to  be   kept   in mind   for  the   present  is   that   the need for relief work will tax  the power of all existing agencies, so that, from  the strictly  Red  Cross standpoint, there need be no doubt about there being plenty to do." Knit GarmenU Are Plentiful—Refu¬ gee Garments Badly Needed The Red Cross is prepare^ to meet any demand for knitted articles for soldiers and sailors from its finished stock in hand.    All requisitions from commanding officers will be promptly filled.   Requisitions from other sourc¬ es, such as thoae sent to the Comforts Committee of the Navy League or to other organizations will also be tak¬ en care of after verification.   Thongh Red  Cross workers have been asked to cease knitting;  if the need should arise  the   thousands  of  women  who have been engaged in this work could immediately return  to  the  task  and promptly   fill   any  order   for   knitted articles, no matter how large.
There are on hand more than a mil¬ lion pairs of socks and fully a half million sweaters. This immense re¬ serve explains why it was thought ex¬ pedient to ask the Red Cross workers to cease knitting, so that they can devote their efforts to the working of r.-fui!T^e f,arnjcnt6t and hi other activi¬ ties v-hlch are immediately pressing. If you were an American soldier in France and you were offered a nice warm sweater all free and it looked good because it's getting cold, and you opened it an<t*faund—the name at your wife back home who'd knitted it (CwrtJaaad ea Fmee •)
