Red Gross Aids in Caring for Them.

Germany's gas bomb warfare has re-
suited in the establishment of a chill
drens colony at Toul. city in the
war zone recently bombarded. The
French government has provided new
brick barracks to house these infant
refugees outside the gas zone and the
American Red Cross is caring for them.
The Red Cross war council has re-
ceived the following report from Red
Cross headquarters in France:
AS an example of activities in be-
half of the civil population of France.
we have established a temporary chill
drens shelter at Toul, a city in a sec
ton of the war zone recently bonn
barded by the enemy.
Gas bombs were being used by the
Germans. and the inhabitants of the
nearby villages were obliged to wear
face masks to escape asphyxiation.
This mode of protection. however. is
not feasible for children. and it was
found necessary to send the children
away at once
The project of the department tele-
graphed to a worker at Paris that $50
children had been suddenly thrust upon
his hands and that he needed imme-
date assistance.
The next day eight workers left the
Red Cross headquarters, a doctor, an
experienced nurse, two auxiliary nurses,
a bacteriologist an administrative di-
rector and two women to take charge
of the bedding, clothing. food. etc.
They found that twenty-one of the
children were infants under one year.

1T is expected that four or five hun

Capt. Messeck was well known to
hundreds of residents of Washington,
and several of those who came here
this morning for the week end were
shocked at the distressing details of
the crime that has stirred the people
to indulge in open threats of violence
should the murderer be captured
Capt. Messeck and his wife conducted
a hotel on the water front, where nu-
merous Washington anglers were ac-
commodated. and the captain owned
one of the best fishing boats in this
section 1t was in this boat that he
was murdered and his body thrown

The crime was committed near
Jones wharf, ten miles below here,
where Capt Messeck was having a
boat filed with wood to ship to Balti-
more. 1t is stated that the colored man
who is wanted to answer for the crime
was a stranger in this section. He was
from Norfolk, it is stated, and had been
in the employ of Capt. Messeck only a
short time.
