Red Cross in this city. Fritz Achelis of

Ship to Be Named Red Cross.
1t is hoped that the expedition which
will bear physicians and nurses from
America on a Red Cross ship will be able
to start by the latter part of next week
from New York. The ship is to be
changed not only in appearance, but even
In name, and will bear the title RED
Cross" The committee negotiating for
suitable vessel prefers an American
ship as being more easily able to enter
various foreign waters.

out of the household for a few of, the
contributions, nor overlooking the sailors

Tells of Small Contributions.
She writes: "All of them wanted their
money to be sent to France and Belgium.
Two little girl friends of mine. five and
eight years old, who heard me telling
their mother about what 1 was doing for
the Red Cross, gave me cents and 10
cents. 1 wish l could do more. l have
a brother and cousin fighting in France.
and If they must be wounded, hope the
Red Cross will take care of them, as !
know they would be well taken care OF.
An offer TO contribute all the tea and
coffee needed for the personnel of the
expedition has come from Abram Wake
man, secretary of the Lower Wall
Street Business Mems Association, ana
has been gratefully accepted by the Red
Cross. According to Mr. Wakeman his
organization sent 100000 books to
American sailors during the Spanish
war.
