WHAT RED CROSS
HAS SHIPPED OUT
Figures on Exports Of Supplies are
Staggering and Show
Greatness of the
Organization.

The New York Times says. To
meet some Of the needs which are
springing up in many parts Of Europe,
the Red Cross supply service has
shipped abroad great quantities of
| foodStuffs, colthing, drugs, surgical
and hospital supplies. and various
other kinds of materials. In addition
to what already has gone abroad the
supply service Is assembling other
materials, including the finished pro-
ducts of Red Cross workrooms
throughout the country and the raw
materials to be made into Red Cross
hospital and surgical supplies by
chapters, branches, and auxiliaries.
In Red Cross shipments reported
dispatched from American ports to
Europe in the last ten to fifteen
days, 1,093,400 pounds Of rice, $780,
600 pounds Of sugar, 10000 pounds
of flour, 1900 cases Of corned beef,
1000 barrels of beef, 5,897 sacks Of
beans, and 5000 cases of evaporated
milk were included. In addition
there have been shipped abroad in
that period LOLA cases of ether, 100
pounds to the case; 2s3 cases Of
cigarettes, and 404 cases Of tobacco,
together with heavy equipment in
Guiding 20 motor trucks and SO am
balances.
Supplies were sent to Italy, France,
England, Russia and Rumania. In
the course of week 3,546 cases of
miscellaneous hospital and surgical
supplies were released from Red
Cross warehouses Fifty thousand
pairs of shoes have been purchased
for the Red Cross commission in
France, and $4,000 yards of flannel
and 421 cases of ether have been
assembled for shipment
Three hundred tons of raw ma
terials, including flannel, gauze,
sheeting. and yarn. are being moved
from the Bush terminals, South
Brooklyn, to the new warehouses of
the Red Cross at the foot of Fifty
These warehouses, together with a
large building for the use of depart
mental heads and the office forces of
the Red Cross supply service, have
been provided by the city of New
York through it's department of
docks.
With the opening of its new quar-
tiers, the Red Cross supply service
udS OcFSICpCu iulo SdSt cutcI
Every part and branch has been CO.
ordinated. Not only does this de-
partment attend to the shipment Of
goods inland to the chapters and
overseas to Red Cross commissions
in Europe, but it purchases as we'll
all materials needed by the Red
Cross chapters, branches and auxil-
iaries throughout the country.
The outflow of supplies for mill
tary and civilian relief has increased
tenfold since Americas entrance into
the war. Yet the Red Cross supply
service, without any great increase
in its working force, has handled
these shipments with clork-work pre-
cfsion.
The departure Of base hospital
unit abroad imposes a big task upon
the supply service, for with each
unit must be moved from 800 to 1000
cases of equipment, carefully CLASH
fed. The Roosevelt base hospital
unit In addition to 1900 cases of
regulation equipment, took with it a
outfit, and shower bath
equipment.

PAPER MEN LESS WARLIKE.
May Approve Price-Fxing Plan and
Cut Charge for Product

News print paper makers are about to
approve plan for price fixing and SUI
pervision of the distribution of their
product by the federal trade commits
sion. which was dropped recently when
a New York federal grand jury indicted
the manufacturers for trust law viola
tions. They previously have declared
they would have nothing more to do
with the agreement, and would fight
the indictments in the courts.
Although no announcement has been
made. it is generally believed if the
manufacturers enter the agreement and
sell their paper at lower prices the
cases perhaps may not be brought to
trial by the Department of Justice. At
the time the indictments were brought
It was understood the trade commits
sion thought the Department Of JUS
tice was acting unwisely.
The output of Lord Northcliffe's New
foundland paper mills probably will be
available for American publishers soon
under an arrangement the trade COM
mission is working on. This will re-
lease some $1,000 tons of paper an
nually to consumers here.

Site for Fifth Division Camp.

Having those considerations in view.
speculation has arisen here as to the
probable site of the big camp to be es
tablished in the fifth division, which
embraces the District of Columbia and
the states of Maryland. Virginia, Della
ware and New Jersey
1t is accepted as foregone con-
clusion that that divisional camp Will
be located somewhere in the general
vicinity of the District of Columbia,
and probably in nearby Maryland.
where there are several excellent sites
available. A large tract of land well
adapted to the purposes of military
camp near kensington on the line OF
the Metropolitan branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio, is said to have received
favorable consideration from army Of
ficers who are familiar with it's ad-
vantages. Other sites suggested as
possessing all the desired facilities are
located near Bowie on the line of the
Pennsylvania road. and Laurel on the
main line of the Baltimore and Ohio
road 1t Is expected that strong efforts
will be made by other interests to have
the camp located in Virginia. or Della
ware or New Jersey, and that keen
competition will arise before the mat
| ter of site is finally determined.

ARE CONSIDERING SITES
FOR DIVISIONAL CAMPS
Army Heads Planning for Training
Of Men for the Great Field
Forces to Be Raised.

In anticipation of the early passage
of the seIective CONSUMPTION bill. the
officials of the War Department. apd
particularly the officers of the Army
War College, are giving consideration
to the important question of the loca-
ton of the sixteen divisional camps
where the great army to be raised shall
be trained and prepared for actual
field service. At the War Department
it is stated that no decision has been
reached with regard to the site of any
of these proposed camps and that final
action in the matter certainly VIII not
be taken before the necessary legisla-
ton is enacted and probably not for
several weeks at least.
AS a general proposition it is settled
that all the camps will be established
near the center of the territory COM
prised in respective military divisions
and at places affording good transpor-
tation. water and other necessary ia
-cilities for the shelter. subsistence,
training and movement of large bodies
of troops.
