London, (by mail}. Feb. 2i--When

submarines, anything will do as a

the story OF a captain OF a British
trawisr. who used a o shovel with
good effect against a German boat
The trawler. according to the story
told by of the crew. was in the
North sea, in a stiff breeze, when the
skipper saw a periscope crawl through

100 yards off There was no gun
aboard and the trswlers best speed
was less n eight knots.

remove the 500 barrels of dust from
the tumble-down premises and
make its hoary rooms fit for their
first consignment of relief sup
plies. At one of the outposts in
the devastated region there was a
debate as to which of two buildings
/ should be rented for the Red Cross
warehouse; the night before the
lease was to be signed the Ger
mans dropped bomb on one OF
them. and settled the question.
! In Italy, in a breathless three
weeks, the Red Cross spread its
services throughout the whole
peninsula, and the workers who
came in to consolidate its position,
as they say in the trenches, have
established a chain of warehouses
not less impressive than that in
France. In Genoa the king OF Italy
opened his palace to serve as
warehouse for the Red Cross.
The train which went through
Russia to Roumania, with which
we began this story, had an excit-
ing trip. 1t is mans job to car
~ Rcd Cross boxes to their des-
tination. The bolsheviki didn't
make the going any easier, at some
places. and once the Red Cross
lieutenant in charge practically had
to commander a locomotive that
was pulling a freight train north
and have it hitched to his own
train before ne could go on his
own way south
But when the Red Cross box
reaches the end of its journey how
it is welcomed! Hard-working,
fine-spirited French women wiring
the hands OF the messengers; cour-
ageous old priests bless them; Ell
ficient American social workers
make hasty acknowledgements and
