PRINCE OF WALES
FUND HERE GROWS
$S0,550 Received for European
War Relief-BrancheS in
Many Cities.

The newest bulletin about the relief
ship Red Cross, issued at o'clock last
evening, was that she would sail for
Europe ut 8 o'clock this morning. Miss
Mabel Bosrdman, Captain Armistead
Rust and Major Robert Hugh Patter-
son all vouched for this. But AS Bernard
Nj. Baker, of Baltimore, who brought
his grandson, Thomas B. Harrison,
from that city last Saturday that the
boy might hoist the Stars and Stripes
on the boat at the moment of sailing,
and who has been waiting here ever
since--as Mr.. Baker said last night, 80
many unexpected bitches have hap
pened that another wouldn't be surpris-
ing. Everything is in readiness, how
ever, for a 8 o'clock start.
The new crew boarded the steamer
late yesterday afternoon-170 sailors
and engine room men, mostly Ameri-
can-born, and 100 negro cooks and
stewards from the Old Dominion Line.
Those members of the old crew who
are Americans or citizens Of other
neutral nations were permitted to re-
main. The rest of the old crew was
sent off on n Hamburg tug.
They all went quietly, receiving their
pay-pay for the few days they had
worked only-with THANK you, sir."
But there were some sad faces among
them as they went off the ship with
their few possessions in boxes or bun
dies.
"All hat in the world ISIS the 81
they hat paid me-" said one little
stewardess, "and ! haf not friend IN
New York"
One thousand stretchers for the
American Hospital in Paris, thousand
other medical supplies were put on the
steamer yesterday. Her cargo is now
complete.
Miss Boardman said she did not
think the Red Cross would send out
another relief ship. Miss Jane A.
Delano, chairman of the general com
mittee on nursing of the American Red
Cross, has a number of available
nurses on her list, and Major Patter-
son, who will return with the Red
Cross, has plenty of surgeons ready 20
volunteer. But whether they can be
sent depends on how the money con-
tributions cone in, and if they are
sent, Miss Boardman said, they will so
on regular passenger steamships.
