RED CROSS STIRRED
The United States Preparing TO
Protest Against Action of
Great Britain.
GENEVA COMPACT VIOLATED?
Chairman Taft Charges England Re-
fuses to Allow Hospital Supply
Shipments to Germany.

Washington, May 1.-THE AmeTi.
can government is preparing to pro-
test to Great Britain against its polict
OF refusing to allow the shipment of
hospital supplies by the American Red
Cross to Germany and her allies. Sec
rotary Lansing received a letter today
from ex-President Taft, chairman of
the central committee of the Rcd
Cross, urging such action, and it was
learned tonight that the matter would
be taken up with the British govern
ment in the near future.
Violates Convention.
Mr. Taft's letter revealed for the
first time that Great Britain formally
had declined to issue permits for ship
ments Of supplies to the central pow
ers except when intended for Ameri-
can hospital units This exception,
Mr. Taft wrote, was worthless, be-
cause on account O. lack Of funds, the
Red Cross had maintained no units in
the belIigerent countries since last Oc-
tober
The Red Cross considers the action
of the British government in violation
of the Geneva convention, to which the
United States and all OF the present
belligerents are signatories, and holds
that the American government has the
right to insist upon observance Of the
treaty.
No Difficulty at First.
"Since the beginning of the present
war" the letter said, the American
Red Cross has invited contributions of
money and supplies with which to aid
the wounded and suffering OF all the
belligerents We have shipped to the
Red Cross societies Of each belligerent
hospital supplies contributed to US for
that purpose. We have found no diff
ficulty in sending such articles to the
entente allies. We have had to obtain
permits from Great Britain for the
shipment to the Red Cross of the cen
trail powers. Until September, 1915.
there was substantially no delay in the
granting of these permits by Great
Britain Since that time we have had
much difficulty in obtaining these, and
the supplies donated in kind and desig
mated for the use of the central pow
ers have accumulated in our ware
house in Brooklyn

When Juan Viola packed his spiked
shoes and helder's mitt ten years ago
and sailed from Havana for the U.
s. A. he started something.
In those placid days which followed
the silencing of Weyler's batteries,
Cuba was just beginning to see the
glories Of our national pastime, and
Viola, dean Of the Cuban pastimers,
resolved TO cross the channel and
match his skill with the athletes en-
ployed on the Jacksonville club.
At first the fans and the other play
ors looked upon him askance. but
class told, as it always tells. and soon
after he took to rafting the fences at
the Jacksonville park Juan was sold
to the. Nashville Southern Association
club, only TO be laid low with a frac-
tured ankle. which sounded taps on
his career in organized ball.
Viola's exploration of the O. B. cir
cult paved the way for the influx Of
other talented Cubans, the game boom
ed on the island, and soon other
Cubans crossing into the States
brought glowing accounts Of deeds
performed daily by their fellow
countrymen.
Each season brought one OF more
budding stars into the organized fold
until today there are fourteen clever
players earning good salaries in the
major or minor leagues. Only two
however, remained in the big circuits

the st. Louis Browns, who is working
