 ID CORDOVA RED GROSS

Capt. c. R. Koehler. of the 14th In fantry, with headquarters at Fort Lis cum, has sent the following expression of gratitude to the COrdova Chapter of the American Red Cross:
 Upon my return to Cordova from a. visit to the bridge and oil tank guards stationed along the Copper River and Northwestern railroad my attention was drawn to the warm, hand.knitted sweaters that you had so kindly sent to each man on this duty, and on be- half of these attachments will hasten to extend to you most hearty thanks. I.should like to thank each member of your organization individually for their kindly thought and for the time and energy that must have been expended l in the making of these garments.
 Not only this, but I was also inform l ed for the first time, that each man had received a generous Christmas i box from some one" in Cordova, l do not know whom. I desire through you to thankfully acknowledge the receipt of these dainty rememberances.
 On this trip heard nothing but the kindest words of the generous treat ment accorded my men by the people of Cordova and along the railroad. At best, the duty performed by these men is arduous, but when their visits, when off duty, are made such pleasure by the kind people with whom they come in contact. the monotony is relieved and they are kept from temptations.
 Again I want to thank you for the noble work that is being done by your organization. not only locally, but throughout the world for suffering hu- manity. You have my sincerest best wishes for the greatest success in your undertaking

ones country is not at war; a
simple compliance with the law is
all that is required.
But loyalty in war times is not a
passive quality. At such a time

Lord RhOnddn Says Food Con.
ditions Will Improve.

LONDON. Jan. 3.--In his address at
Slverton to-day Lord Rhondda warned
his hearers that there would continue TO
be a shortage OF foodstuffs. though con-
ditons would improve steadily.
There is nothing alarming in the sit
uat!on." he said. You have only to
tighten your belt The people Of this
country are undergoing nothing like the
privations in Germany. There they have
less than a pound Of meat week"
Referring to the meat shortage Lord
Rhondda said he did not want to
threaten: he did not want to com
mandeer cattle. but the machinery
would be there to carry the cattle to
market when the time came.
There was going to be great short
age OF meat during the next couple OF
weeks. said Lord Rhondds. but after that
he hoped the position would improve
considerably.
Before the war 40 per cent Of the
meat consumed by civilians was import
ed from abroad: to-day large part
OF the imported meat went to the army,
leaving less than 10 per cent. for
civilians.

Special Despofch 10 Tar srx.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Lack Of naval
escort was to blame for the loss Of the
United States troop ship Antilles on
October 10. It was declared to-day in
n statement by Representative Fred
er'ck A Britten Of Illinois. a member Of
the Ilouse Naval Affairs subcommittee
Investigating the conduct Of the war.
This fact was ascertained in the COM
mittce meeting. whicn was behind closed
doors. from Admiral Benson. Chief OF
Naval Operations.
The understanding here Is that the
transport was too fast for the naval
escort provided and had outdistanced
the protecting vessel when It was
torpedocd. Sixty-seven lives were lost
when the ship went down. Secretary
Daniels has refused to admit this fact
and declined to comment on Mr.. Brit
