S. MILLER, Manager Red Cross Sends Relief Ships for, Allied Soldiers and Civilians i in Starving Russia. A relief ship was recently sent from this couutry to Archangel by the American Red Cross with 4,000 tons j of drugs, food, soap and other sup-1 piles for the use of the Allied soldiers ! and needy civilians ln that part of.i Russia. The vessel's cargo was val-! ued at ILB1L233. j Later, another ship was dispatched ' carrying 200 tons of similar supplies j furnished by the American Red Cross, the total expenditure for the two ship-' menu amounting to over $2,000,000. j Major C. T, Williams of Baltimore was In charge of the party of thirteen which accompanied the shipment from this country. He was formerly a mem ber of the Red Cross Commission for Roumanla. Major Klrkpatrlck, at one time a member of the latter commis sion, but recently attached to the Army Medical Corps, heads the medl cal end of the Archangel expendltlon. Drugs and geoeral hospital supplies constituted the greater part of the cargo sent from America. While the chief concern of the ex pedition was providing comforts for American and Allied -fighting men In that purt of the world, all efforts were bent to get relief to the Russian sol diers who were returned from Ger man prison camps at the rate of about 13,000 a week. The condition of these men was pitiable. It has been esti mated that 00 per cent of them were tubercular. In addition to drugs and food, al most every Imaginable article on the list of supplies sent over was for the comfort, convenience and pleasure of the Allied soldiers. Just a few of these articles were playing cards, razor blades, jewsharps, mandolins, accordeons, ukaleles, phonographs, cameras, skates, wigs, whiskers, grease paints, footballs, snowshoes, slippers, hockey outfits, Indoor base balls, moving picture outfits, Bibles, prayer books, boxing gloves, games, music, books, cigarettes, candy and dried fruits. The need of prompt relief for the Inhabitants of towns along the coast of the White Sea and on the Kola peninsula, many of whom were facing starvation, was found to be Impera tive. Scurvy had broken out among the people at these places, adding to the general distress. The towns to which the relief ex pendltlon was sent are virtually Iso lated from the outside world because of the treacherous coast line, shifting sand bars and uncharted waters. An exceptionally early frost, even for that part of the' world, ruined the harvests, which were expected to improve con ditions. Statements, printed In Rus sian, explaining the work of the Red Cross, were distributed among the inhabitants. TRIBUTES FROM SECRETARY BAKER Following a tour of South England, Secretary of War Baker made this comment on the work done by the American Red Cross for our boys: "These are the tilings which count The American Red Cross Is to be con gratulated on the way ln which It la looking after our boys. It is doing fine work." Following his return from France, Secretary Baker wrote this note to the American Red Cross In London : "I left London so shortly after my drive to Winchester that I had no early opportunity to thank you for the courtesy of the touring car which you placed at my disposal for the trip. On this trip to Europe I have received fresh and noteworthy evidence of the astonishing efficiency of the American Red Cross operations in France and England. I have been delighted to see how much the American Red Cross has done to-weld hearts of the allied people together." Replacing the Orchards. I The American Red Cross has given ' $10,000 to assist ln the replanting of -trees ln the orchards laid bare by the ! Germans. With this sum 40,000 fruit trees will be replaced In the devas- : tated orchards of Belgium and norttf ern France. 1 Dolls- Free to Little Girls We have been fortunate in securine 300 beautiful, un breakable DOLLS and we are going to make 300 little girls happy.
