Thn .Nassau County Chapter of the American Red Cross de#reB to thank all the memhers of the branches and auxiliaries who have to generously contributed knitted articles, surgical dressings and dpllcacl^ for th* alck at Camp Mills. The Chapter also wishes to assure those members who have devotedly given up their time to alleviate the haid.ships of the sol¬ diers and snilois, that these articles are distributed absolutely free to the recipients. The Chapter is merely a clearini; house for the purpose of distributing these articles to the soiii'ces of their destination. They are taken directly to the officer in charge of the distribution of gifts so thai there may be, if possible, no iliililication of knitted artirles to any one man.
'I'lie .¦\iiici'i(',aii Red Cross is ahso¬ liilely ;i part of the government. The olUcials of the Society at Washington hiive beon given Major's ranks in I'ccoynition of this   fact.
'i'he expenses of the activities of the Hed Cross are de.fraycd by voluntary conirihiitions, and the services of the officers are unpaid. .Many men prom¬ inent in the businesa life of the coun¬ try have sacrificed large incomes to voluntarily perform  the work.
It has come to the notice of the Nassau County Chapter that state¬ ments have been made that articles made n.nd contributed by the mem- bens are being sold. This the Chap¬ ter desires to absolutely deny. All articles are given free o'" charge and i-iimors to ihe contrary are spread by enemies of the country, a number of these cases being traciMl directly to an organized German propaganda who desiic lo deprive the boys who iil'e in the van of this great adven- tiin- of the necessities which will make tht-iii ahle soldiers of the Re- piililic

iHerp is a letter received from one of the visitora at Army and Navy HeadqiiartcrB, which makes the work worth   while:
Oct.  KMh, i;il7.
I wish to thank the good ixiople of Freeport for the wonderful attitudr shown toward the men who have an¬ swered the call to arms. By such an agency as the welcome you have pre¬ pared on Railroad Avenue you touch the very heart of a man. He Is away from home in the majority of ca.ses, and has no particular place to spend his hours of liberty. He may write, he may read, he may have refresh¬ ments, etc,, in that little haven and made to fe(;l at home in every sense of the word. Hach visit I mighl say is an invitation for the next. I hav*- chosen the Navy in Ihe |>resent crisis, owing to the fact my inclinations lend that way. Freeport is riuite far r«'- iiioved from the paths usually tr<ifl- den hy men of the fleet, so in order to reach them with some of that hospit¬ able spirit I decided to take a good supply of miifrazines with me when I returned (o my ship. I do wish, goo'l people, you could see ho'w they were ajipreciated, it certainly made nie fe«'I good also. I told them of the recep¬ tion Freeport is giving men of th*- colors and they promised to keep it in mind should thev be in the vicin¬ ity.
Magazines and periodicals, either recent or back numbers, are in xreat demand throughout the fleet. The boys are hungry for wholesome read¬ ing matter and if you have any ac¬ cumulation about the house that is becoming an e> esorc, do your bit hy sending thera to any ship or ships iji the fleet, addressing thein care of the poatmaster. New  York.
"With heartiest good wishes for the Buccessful     continuation       of     your praiseworthy   undertaking.   1   am, Sincerely,
Walter C.  Schmidt, U. S. S. Kentucky.
VVe were sorry .Mr. Schmidt did not ¦take more magazines. We will make up another bundle and send 'hcra to him from Headquarters this week. We will also, on his sugxestlon, send thoni to other boats on which are Freeport sailors. The V. M. C. .\. folks at Camp .Mills seem to he .'-ur- fcited with magazines and ii is a pleasure to pass them on.
Bear in mind the Headquariers is open to all soldiers and sailors, with¬ out distinction as to creed or poli¬ tics, and the room is managed in the same way—by the citizens of Free- port for the soldiers of our country.
The press again demonstrated its efflciency in answer to request for flags, we now having plenty, having had loans from A, W. Friend, J. M. Keegan, .Mrs, Gustav Abel and H. K. Pearsall (2). Small American, Eng¬ lish, French or other allied jflag.s could   be used. '
The reception work of the pa.'Ht week was In charge of Kev. S. O. l^ur- tice. assisted by R. W. Nutt, Super¬ visor Hlrani R. Sinith and Capt. Hart¬ man. Among tbe men on duty were Williara P.
