to me about the deed I performed ture which appeared in all of the papers throughout the United States. I would venture to say you might have seen it.
 AS l am going to ask a favor of you, l hope it will be granted and that is if you please. Now could you or would you send me a field comfort box? I feel sure I would be pleased as I have not tasted American cigarettes or tobacco for many a day. It would be good comfort. to me, l assure you"
 Send Tobacco Says War Hero
 Testimony as to the craving for tobacco given by one American boy who has already earned his laurels at the front is contained in the fol- lowing letter sent to The Empire by Our Boys in France" commit tee:
 Gunner William c. Clancy, the Texas boy who carried the Stars and Stripes lover the top" in that surprise in store for him. Gunner Clancey has written to this country asking for comfort package con taining some American tobacco and he will get it, but in addition to this, he will receive handsome gold med al from the U. S. Army and Navy Bazaar. The comfort packages have already been sent. This boy.a who carried Old Glory and was wounded in doing so, is now convalescing at IT Lindsay Avenue, High Wycombe, Bucks, England.
 The Letter
 Just picture it to yourselves. I have been in France fighting and now am in England after recovering from being buried alive. When I saw the picture of the comfort box, longed for one. I do long and wish I had one now. But the money which I receive will not keep me in wants and desires. l assure you that my wants are not many as l have had soldiers life in Hell for my time in this war, but I would want an American Soldiers comfort box if 1 could be given one.
 My pay, my friends, is only one shilling per day (25). As stuff costs some over here, it will not enable me to get what l want Do you not think l can have one? l will be ever so much obliged

THE ACTIVITIES OF
THE AMERICAN RED
| Cross IN EUROPE

The American Red Cross has prov
ed its ability to cope with our own
national emergency by the wonderful
manner in which it has succored tho
belligerent countries Of Europe.
From the sailing of the American
Red Cross ship with its complement
of surgeons, nurses and hospital sup
plies, in the summer of 1914, down
to the present time, scarcely ship
has left New York for that war torn
continent without carrying its cargo
of relief.
In % months, according to figures
given out in February, the American
Red Cross had disbursed IN hospital
supplies, shipped to or purchased in
Europe, for the allied powers, 81 ,222,-
600; for the central powers, $3.50, TOO
and $2SS,2 for other countries af-
fected by the war, notably Armenia.
Mesopotamia and Syria.
These sums do not include large

drugs and chemicals, 80 gallons of
iodine, $4,000 anti-typhoid treatments
and 1000 anti-tetanus treatments,
and many cases of clinical thermome-
tiers, adhesive plaster, vaseline and
alcohol.
Scores of boxes Of stretchers, thou
sands of hospital garments, towels,
etc, were also sent. For Belgian
refugees $500 pairs Of blankets had
been forwarded within five months
after the war began. For the Ameri-
can ambulance corps in Paris, the
Red Cross had shipped 264, 440 pounds
of absorbent cotton, Ill 900 pounds
of nom absorbent cotton, 200,0 900
yards of gauze and 5000 stretchers.
1t RENTED in cash to the European
Red Cross societies, to the bureau of
prisoners at Geneva, to the Belgian
Relief Commission, to Former AM
bassador Herricks emergency COM
mittee in Paris, and to the American
hospitals in Europe, nearly 100000.
From August 6, 1914, to Sept. 30,
1916, the American Red Cross receiv-
ed contributions for European war
relief totalling s2,144,968. Since then
proportionately large amounts have
been received and additional expen-
ditures made.
In addition to the money spent for
supplies, etc., looms up a vast net
work of devoted and self sacrificing
service by over 400 doctors, nurses,
sanitarians and other Red Cross rep
resentatives sent into the war zone.
During the first months of the war
the Red Cross devoted itself entirely
to military relief. The chief things
accomplished along this line were the
sending of hospital units, each con-
sisting of three surgeons and II
nurses, to Belgium, France, Russia,
Serbia, England and the central pow
ers.
These doctors and nurses worked
among the wounded and sick, manag-
ing hospitals of 800 beds each. Six
teen of these expeditions were sent
abroad at an expense of $352,000.
When the typhus epidemic broke
out in Serbia, a military expedition
was sent into that region, jointly fl
nanced by the Red Cross and the
Rockefeller foundation. This work
was done at cost of 120,000.S
Stamping out plaques, supplying
food and clothing, nursing sick and
wounded soldiers and caring for Eu-
ropean war refugees, has gone on
steadily.

mania for the assistance os refugees
who were driven away f.,o.a their
homes by advancing armies. For re-
lief Of families in Bulgaria, a SINH
lar amount was forwarded, together
with other large sums for France and
Russia.
All of these disbursements were In
cash. Even more was spent in ship
ments. Nearly a thousand packages
were forwarded on fourteen steamers
to seven different countries.
This relief work got under full
swing at the very start of the war
as evidenced by figures made public
December A, 1914. Up to that date
the American Red Cross had pur-
chased for use in its European war
relief campaign, $4,000 pounds of
absorbent cotton, $1,000 pounds of
absorbent cotton, $4,000 yards
of absorbent gauze, 100000 bandages,
20 surgical shipments Of United
States army standard, 5000 pounds
of chloroform and ether, % cases of
amounts expended on equipment OF
the sanitary commission which was
sent to exterminate typhoid fever in
Serbia, or the sending of doctors and
nurses to various countries.
During January, 1917, $4,000 was
sent abroad by the Red Cross to the
clearing house in Rome for civilian
relief. In response to an urgent tele-
gram $1,000 was sent to Eastern Ru-
