David Love Ewing, assistant director of operations for the United States Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation, monitors every American ship. His 25 years in railroads trained him to manage crews as he logs vessel location, destination, cargo, tonnage, home port, availability for government use, armament, captain, crew, service suitability, speed, coal use, and ship specs from his shore office. Born in Muscatine, Iowa, he is 41 and rose to his post under William Denman and Gen. Goethals, with Edward Carry appointing him last November.
Brigadier General W. L. Kenly, named chief of the army's new division of military aeronautics, declares a blunt, results‑oriented approach.

The American Red Cross in Washington received Major Perkins report on February aid in France. Over 100000 refugees and war sufferers received assistance including 7500 repatriates and 6000 undernourished Paris schoolchildren.

General Pershing called on the army medical department to accept 100,000 convalescent uniforms donated by American women.

He praised the Red Cross work for morale and for freeing labor for other needs.

The article describes a range of white garments including imported and domestic models in white wool silk linen and cotton.
