RED CROSS DAY OBSERVED.
Chautauquas and Lyceums Have
Speakers on Twenty-One Circuits.

1t was Red Cross Chautauqua day
yesterday and as a result the spirit
the accomplishments. the whole hu-
manitarian scheme and execution of the
Red Cross have become better known
throughout the entire country
Chautauquas and lyceums had speak
ers and entertainers on twenty-one
circuits. covering practically every state
and reaching hundreds of rural dis
tricts. as well as the larger centers,
united in presenting the story of the
Red Cross and its humanitarian work
The primary idea in thus mobilizing
the Chautauqua speakers was to get
the Red cross cause before millions of
people. In addition. Red Cross day will
make some valuable additions to the
Red Cross war fund. Many of the
speakers and entertainers declared that
they would devote their salaries for the
day to the Red Cross. and many of the
managers also co-operated in making
the day a national event on their pro-
grams, and of financial value to the
Red Cross.
The ARRANGEMENTS for Red Cross day
were made by committee of prom
inent lecturers and entertainers. head

transportation problems of that coun-
try:

Ing to failure to utilize available Ia
cilities. As a result about 100000 tons
of material has accumulated at Vladi-
vostok. The United States govern
ment expected this year to provide for
the road S75 locomotives and 1900
cars.
Only one other railroad during the
winter months will be available for
importation of supplies. he said. being
the new line known as the kola rail-
road, which connects the Bay OF kola
with Petrograd. Plans are being made
by the American railway commission
in Russia to place the line in working
order, and when this is accomplished
about 1000 tons Of material day can
reach Russia by way of the Atlantic
during the period that the port Of
Archange1 is closed.
Serious Strain on Shipping.
Lack of equipment for the railroad
connecting the chief coal fields of Rus
STA in the Donet valley has compelled
the country. Mr.. Bertron asserted, to
import large quantities of coal which
have placed serious strain on the
allied shipping facilities. American en-
gineeB have reported that with GER
tain improvements the railroad could
handle Al per cent more coal

ment The allies have agreed TO sup
ply Russia to the extent of 4.260.o00
tons. which is impossible without the
assistance of the United States. It is
therefore important to realize the ne
cessity of shipping facilities. for the
United States will win the war primar-
lily through the solution of the trans
portation problem
Speaking of the financial situation,
Mr.. Bertron said 1t Is a serious one yet

resources. to solve the problems that
have arisen.
