Red Cross Sends Relief Ships for
Allied Soldiers and Civilians
in Starving Russia.
A relief ship in recently sent from
this country to Archangel by the
American lU'A Cross with 4,000 tons
! of drugs, food, soup and other sup
plies for the use of the Allied sold) en
nil needy civilians In that part of
' Russia. The Tessera cargo wu Tal
ued at $l,nil,2RB.
Later, another ship was dtspatchad
carrying 200 tons of similar supplies
furnished by the American lied Oroaa,
the total eipcndlture for the two ahlp
nicnts amounting to over S2,000,00U
Major O. T. Williams of Ilultlinore
was In charge of the party of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. Ue was formerly a mem
ber of tho Hed 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 medi
an end of the Archangel elpandltlon.
Drugs and general 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 met! In
that part of the world, all efforts were
I bent to get relief to the Russian sol-
dlers who were returned from Qefi
man prison camps at the rate of about
15,000 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,
rasor blades, Jewsharps, mandolins,
accordeons, nkaleles, phonographs,
cameras, skates, wigs, whiskers,
grease paints, footballs, snowsboes,
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 far 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 outBlde world because
of the treacherous const line, shifting
mind 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 Hed
Cross, were distributed among the In
habitants. TRIBUTES FROM
SECRETARY BAKER
Following a tour of South England,
Secretary of War Baker mode this
comment on the work done by the
Amerlcnn Red Cross for our boys:
"These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross Is to be con
gratulated on the way In which It la
looking after our boys. It Is doing
fine work."
Following his return from France,
Secretary Baker wrote this note te
the Amerlcnn Red Cross In London:
"I left London so shortly after my
drive to Winchester that I bad no
enrly 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 efllclency 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."

Silence reigned within my sanctum
Slowly sank the orb of day,
Softly through my lattice stealing
Came sweet notes of far away.
O'erihe hill tops io the distance
Angel hands all robed in while,
Seemed io seek my lit tie collage
Wilh harps of gold so dazzling bright.
On they came in Heavenly grandeur
Came and stood beside my bed.
While 1 in trance-like silence waited
They seemed lo think that I was dead.
Then as if some spell came o'er ihem
Turning scanned the space around,
And said this subject must be living
As it's spirit we've not fount!.
They, then, in solitude departed
These messengers who came to greet
The soul of him who lay so deaih-like
l-'rom whom they made a quick retreat.
Thus deception ofi awakens
Thoughts within us dormant long,
Thai when really we've departed
That band will come with Heavenly song.

And one that's golden to the core
Is ihe fact, unless we're ready,
They'll pass us by forever more.

O'er rough seas, and stemmed ihe tide
Who'll make we oilier shore securely
