CARGO or SUPPLIES
GOES TO ARCHANGEl
Red Cross Sends Relief Ships for
Allied Soldiers and Civilians
In Starving Russia.

A relief ship was recently sent from
this country to Archangel. by the
American Red Cross with 1900 tons
Of drugs, food, soap and other sup
plies for the use Of the Allied soldIeu
and needy civilians In that part Of
Russia. The vessels cargo was val
ued at s1,511,233.
Later, another ship was dispatched
carrying 200 tons of similar supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross
the total expenditure for the two ship
ments amounting to over 100000
Major @. It. Williams of Baltimore
was In charge of the party of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly a mem-
Der of the Red Cross Commission for
Roumania. Major Kirkpatrick, at n
time a member of the latter commits
sion, but recently attached to the
Army Medical Corps, heads the medL
cal end of the Archangel expendition.
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part OF the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief C of the ex-
pedition was providing comforts for
American and Allied fighting men in
that part of the world, all efforts were
bent 70 get relief to the Russian SOL
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate of about
$1,000 a week. The condition Of these
men was pitiable. II has been esti-
mated that 80 per cent. OF them were
tubercular.
In addition to drugs and food. al
most every imaginable article on the
list of supplies sent over was for the
comfort, convenience and pleasure of
the Allied soldiers. Just a few of
these articles were playing cards.
razor blades, ~Jewsharps, mandolins,
~accordeons, ukaleles, monographs.
cameras, skates, wigs, whiskers.
grease paints, footballs, snowshOes.
slippers, hockey outfits, indoor base
balls, moving picture outfits, Bibles,
prayer books, boxing gloves games.
music, books, cigarettes, caEdy and
dried fruits.
The need Of prompt relief for the
inhabitants of towns along the coast
of the White Sea and on the Kola
peninsula, many of whom were facing
starvation, was found to be impera-
tive. Scurvy had broken out among
the people at these places, adding to
the general distress.
The towns to which the relief ex-
pendition was sen are virtually iso-
lated from the outside world because
of the treacherous coast line, shifting
sand bars and uncharted waters. An
exceptionally early frost, even FOR that
part of the world, ruined the harvests,
which were expected to improve con-
dltions. Statements, printed in Rus
sian, explaining the work of the Red
Cross, were distributed among the In
habitants.

Birds as ~Barometers.

Birds are excellent barometers. A
number of our birds-swans. wild
duck. coots, moorhens and others
build their nests either on the banks
of a river or floating on It's surface at
tached to the reeds or water grasses.
These birds, it is said, never by chance
get caught by floods. and II you see a
swans nest. say, a foot above the river
level you may be sure that during the
next few weeks there will not be rain
enough to raise the river above that
height. The common robin knows a
great deal about forthcoming weather.
If he sings In the morning 1t is a GER
tain sign OF bad weather.

SURELY SOME CRAP SHOOTER

idly Getting Rich at Expense Of
His Comrades.

don't any more. This as a conse-
quence of a stern company order is
sued after a prolonged argument with
the dice which followed the first pay
day on this side.
There was a game at every oppor-
tunity for about a week, and then
came a lull. simultaneously with the
lull the men began to urn up shy of
apparel and equipment. Investigation
disclosed that one dusky private with
a pair of dice that behaved particu-
larly well had made a sensational
cleanup.
He had gathered most Of the
francs In the company in the first
three days and then started on per-
sonal effects. At the conclusion Of
the series he had nearly enough
francs to finance a war of his own
and more clothes than the supply
sergeant, not to speak of SO identifi-
cation tags, seven boxes of &C.
pills, a bottle Of castor oil, IL tow
els, most of the soap In the COM
pany and a packing case full of other
articles. At the suggestion of the
captain he returned all of the belong
ings and most of the francs.
