AMERICAN RED CROSS.
Appeal of President Taft and the
International Relief Board.
To the Editor of The Tribune.


To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: II is difficult to bring home to the
public in this country the appalling suf-
fering involved in a winter war in the
Balkans. Communication Is difficult, the
cold Is intense, and even rudimentary
transportation Is a matter OF extreme dif-
flculty. Moreover, the fighting In this
particular was is likely to be OF an espe-
cially bitter and severe character, while
on the other hand, the medical organize
ton available is quite inadequate to cope
with the large number Of wounded.
Reports have been received both from
our diplomatic representatives In Turkey
the Balkan States and Greece, and from
the Red Cross societies, Of the desperate
conditions of thousands OF sick anu
wounded and the inadequate medical ser
vice. with these reports have come ur-
gent appeals to the American Red cross
for aid.
The British Red Cross and those OF Con-
tinental Europe are sending out meolcai
detachments Of doctors and nurses ana
hospital supplies In order to mitigate IN
some measure the terrible suffering en-
tailed by such a winter campaign.
Because of the distance, the American
Red Cross will not send expeditions OF
trained personnel. but it earnestly ap-
peals to the generosity Of our people 70
aid the sick and wounded soldiers OF all
the countries involved.
Though an armistice may be declared,
the great number of sick and woundeo
must be cared for during NUMBER OF
weeks and the troops must remain I'M
der arms In the field for months during
the severe winter weather, with all the
suffering and sickness this will entail
The services of the American Red cross
will be rendered impartally to all the
combatants concerned, but It II. Of course,
open to any subscriber to designate a
donation for tho special assistance OF
one or the other Of the belliBerent par
ties. and instructions to that effect VIII
be strictly observed.
Contributions should be sent to the

THE COST OF LUXURY.

We may call It luxury, or we may
call 1t simple convenience, but there
Is no getting away from the conviction
that the thing itself-to wit, the mod
ern method Of doing retail business-is
an essential and considerable factor In
the increased cost Of living. 1t is not
the only factor. 1t is notorious that
in some important respects supply has
remained stationary, or has actually
decreased, while demand has largely

PRACTICAL FIRE FIGHTING.

That scientific knowledge concerning
the prevention, fighting and handling of
fires and incidental matters, such as
building construction, apparatus and de-
partment organization, may be success
fully impaired to those more or less un-
familiar with the subject through the
medium of book is proven by the vol
ume Fire Prevention by Ex-Chief
Edward F. Croker of New York.
Mr.. Croker, who was at the head of
the New York Fire Department for II
years, has prepared an exhaustive study
of the problem which he presents in
complete, simple and attractive form.
Any one will find the book interesting
and, furthermore, there is an abundance
of advice that may be generally applied
with profit.
Asserting that greater attention than
ever should be paid by the American
people to the matter of preventing de-
struction of property by fire, Mr. Croker
proceeds to present a series of convinc-
ing arguments, sustained by numerous
examples, all of which are based on his
long experience and keen observation as
ire-fighter.
which Mr.. Croker deals. His scope is
pIood oISy he WIlleS DIS one VINO
views the vast proposition from every
angle.
How the inmates of a dwelling may
guard against a blaze, what a small
town can do to avert the spread of fire,
what the measures of protection in the
home should be, how town may organ
ize its fire department, what regulations
should be adopted in factories, business
blocks and lofts to prevent fire as we'll as
protect the lives of the occupants, the
sprinkling systems, alarm devices, etc.,
are described in detail by Mr.. Croker.
He also tells of the development of the
New York Fire Department, the nature
and value of the high pressure system,
the uses of the fireboat and discusses fire
prevention bureaus and marshals, the
work of incendiaries and the laws having
to do with the whole subject. There are
also many excellent illustrations made
from photographs.
In short, Mr.. Croker has omitted moth
ing in connection with fire prevention
and ire-fighting that may be helpful and
edifying. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co.

JAMES OTIS KALER DEAD.
Famous Writer of Books For Boys. Porn
In Waldo County.

James Otis Kaler, author of nearly $50
boys books and widely known for gen.
GRAFTON as James Otis," died Dec 18th
at the Maine General Hospital, Portland,
aged GA years. Mr.. Kaler was born in
Frankfort, now WInterport, Me-, March
10, 1848. In 1861, when he was 10 years
old, he left his home on the banks of the
Penobscot River and struck out for Bos-
ton, where he got place in a Washing
ton street store at So. SO a week.
To the boy So. so seemed a great deal
his cousin come to Boston also and Sc
cured him job at the same pay Room
and board, however, cost him So week,
and the approach of winter made stove
necessary, which the slim weeks sur
plus of so cents would not buy.
In this predicament he thought of
writing, and penned a sketch about
Moosehead Lake, which he carried in
person to Charles 0. Rogers, then head
of the Boston Journal. The story was
far from perfect in spelling and gram
mar, but Mr. Rogers found some merit
in it, for he gave the lad an order for
$25.
At the same time, to test the boys
abilities, he told him to go out and get a
story, something new, on Boston Com
mon. For five days he puzzled his brains
in the effort to find something not al
ready written, and at last thought of the
names and initials carved on the Com
mon benches. All the afternoon and until
midnight he labored on the story, but at
last it was finished and accepted, and
kaler was given place on the Journal.
For the succeeding years he worked
and studied, and in.l864, when little more
than 16 years old, he represented his
paper as war correspondent with the
Army of the Potomac.
In 1868 he became editor of portion
of FrankLeslie's juvenile publcationsand
later for time was engaged as special
writer on the City Press. In 1878 he
Joined the editorial staff of the Boston
Globe, writing the perkins, letters,
until in 1880 he gave up newspaper work
for authorship:
He had in 1878 made trip with cir
Gus to get material for series CT circus
stories for the Leslie papers, and had
lance with the life of the circus. Then,
in the winter of 1880, he was sent to
Maine to do the count OUT in the live
ly contest of the Greenback and Fusion
parties. Called to Damariscotta and
with nothing in particular to do, he lock-
ed himself in his room in the hotel, and
in five days had begun and completed
toby Tyler, or Ten Weeks with Cir
Gus" his first boys book.
Toby Tyler" proved so great sue.
cess as to convince him that in the writ
ing of boys books lay his career. In the
3O-Odd years since that time Mr.. Kaler
had written between las and $50 books,
his output sometimes reaching six or
more books year.
Since 1889, too, he had been superin-
tendent of schools in South Portland.
He has contributed extensively to va
rious periodicals. He was married in
1893 to Amy L. Scammon, who survives
him with two sons.
