Action Taken by the Organi-
zation at the Request of
the State Department of
United States.
How Individuals Wishing
In f o r m alton About
Friends or Relatives in

Should Proceed.

At the request of the department of
state. the American Red Cross has
undertaken, through its bureau of
communication, to communicate mes
America concerning the welfare and
whereabouts of persons residing in
the countries of the central powers, or
in territory occupied by them.
In other belligerent countries this
communication is possible, since all
enemy subjects being held either as
civil or military prisoners of war have
the privilege of correspondence grant
ed by international agreement. The
United States has not classed German
civilians as prisoners and consequently
the closing of the postal service to
the central powers has caused serious
hardship.
TO RELIEVE SUFFERING.
The government of the United States
proposes through the American Red
Cross, to relieve this unnecessary suf-
fering.
Individuals wishing TO make inquiry
concerning the welfare and where
abouts of friends or relatives In ter
ritory belonging to or occupied by the
central powers, may communicate with

From Geneva, they will be forwarded

will be sent to Washington. The Red
Cross will then communicate the in
formation received to writer's of the
original letters. Two 2-cent stamps
must be inclosed for postage. A SINH

WHAT OF MATTY?
Will ''Big Six' Make Reds Pen.
nant COntenders This Year?
Old Twirler's Admirers Look
for Big Things From Him.
BY JACK VEIOCK.)

New York, Feb 2O.-If the well
wishes of fandom count for anything
Christy Mathewson should start the
season of 1917 at Cincinnati with the
cards stacked in his favor.
Idolized for years by baseball fans
all over the country, from the small
est urchin to the busiest of business
men. Christy Mathewson stepped
down and out as a National League
pitcher and then leaped into the band
wagon with the manager while fan
dom rooted for him. The baseball
fans want to see Matty make good
and they will watch his fortunes at
Redville with genuine interest
Last fall, when Mathewson took
the reins at Cincinnati, he injected
new spirit into the Reds. He took
hold of a team that was playing in
different baseball team that was
following in the footsteps of Cincin
natl teams of other years But Mat

ager instilled new life into those much
abused Red Stockings, and they got
out on the greensward and tried their
best to win for him.
Real Test Coming.
But Mathewson has not been thor
oily tried out as pilot. His expert
ence late last season only served to
give him an insight into what he has
to work with. The real test will come
with the opening of the playing sea-
son this year. Will Matty succeed in
making good, as some other great ball
| players have done? Or will he prove
a failure as a manager?
During the years that Matty played
with the Giants-the years in which
he was classed by baseball men and
writers turnout the country as Nc
Graw's right hand bower-he had the
opportunity to learn all that McGraw
can teach to any player about the art
| of bossing a ball club. Matty was
! often given a share of the credit for
successes scored by the Giants. Did
| he deserve this credit?
| OF course, the fact that the Giants
of the last few years have been a
much better looking ball club than
| Cincinnati has had may be pointed to
| as one of the reasons for their sue
cesses. and for Matty's share in them.
But Matty personally believes that he

Looking for Trades.
Up to the time the season opens
MatheWson will keep his eyes open
for several trades. He is after q right
handed outfielder and a left-handed
pitcher If he can secure two such
players who are capable of holding
their own in the National league he
will be satisfied with his prospects
and the chances of the Reds to slip
one over
In Emil HUM, his youngest catch
er, Matty believes that he has a play
err of great value. HUM did not look
like a world heater last summer, and
often he was caught mapping while
other clubs ran the bases on him. But
Matty like his looks and believes in
him. Another player who could not
be pried loose from the Cincinnati
payroll is Eddie Rousch, the young
outfielder who went to the Reds in
the deal with Mathewson. Rousch is
enc of the speediest players in the
National league He has natural bat
ting talent and with a regular berth,
which will give him a chance to show
what he can do, he should give the
best fielders in Governor Tener's cir
cult run for their money.
In Chase, Groh, McKechnie, Kopf,
Esmond, Louden ard Hobbs, Mathew
son has a nifty looking bunch of
fielders, and if he gets one more good
pitcher and the outfielder he is after
he will bear watching.

With the completion of the New

will have the third largest organ in
the world.
The original organ, built in 1908,
has been entirely reconstructed and
enlarged, and has 1853 stops. The
only two organs having more stops
are two in Europe, one in Liverpool
and one in Breslau. The new organ
will have cost $4,000 when COM
pleted, the money having been given
by members of the Newberry family.
j. W. Steere & Son are the build
ers of the organ. One of its features
is an arrangement of numbered pis-
tons, each one being a combination
previously prepared by the organist.
These pistons are prepared at a
switchboard, and when wanted are
simply pulled out. Another feature
of the organ is row of electric indi-
Gator lamps, which show at glance
what is in operation.
