RED CROSS
First to Aid.

London.-Gen. John Biddle, COM
mander Of the American army in
Great Britain, speaking recently of
the Christmas Roll Call of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. said that everyone was
taking it for granted now that the
Red Cross could provide any kind Of
aid in the shortest possible time. In
a message to the war council he paid
the following tribute to the organiza-
ton:
II really do not know what the
American army would have done in
England without the American Red
Cross. Everywhere the Red Cross is
giving the best that can be given or
asked for. Our men are being cared
helped by the Red Cross in every
way. The large hospitals in London
at Paignton and Salisbury and the
one at Hossley Hill, Liverpool. are
some Of the largest gifts. At all our
camps throughout the British Isles it
either could not get from the govern
ment, or could not get without much
delay.
''This work has been so we'll done
that nowadays everyone applies first
to the Red Cross whenever they want
anything very particularly or very
quickly. 1t seemed to me that every
LA1Ao L 1OdN0 1|OLAOOu ~ gu ally WIlcEo
I see something new that the Red
Cross has been doing. In the Otranto
disaster the first thing we did was to
go to the Red Cross for materials and
supplies of various kinds, and. when
we sent a boat to look after survivors
on the bleak island of Islay. many
provisions for the expedition came
from the Red. Cross. When we sent
a. large number of men to northern
Russia a short time ago. the Red
Cross sent I don't know how many
hundred tons of supplies.
1--WE in the army all feel a graft
tude to the Red Cross which it is hard
for me to express in words. Without
the Red Cross it would be impossible
to have given the camps the comforts,
conveniences and happiness they have
received in England. You have our

AUTO and TRUCK
NOW FACTORS IN
TRANSPORTATION

Taking over the operation Of the
railroads by the government will
bring further recognition of the pas
senger car and motor truck as trans
portation factors, according to an an
| nouncement from the National Auto
| mobile Chamber Of Commerce. While
railroad officers might dislike to take
such action, Director General Nc
Adoo is certain to require that more
passengers and more freight for
short distances be carried by motor
vehicles, and thus relieve railroad
congestion at terminal points With
many passenger trains taken off,
greater use must be made Of motor
cars.
If the government retains control
of the railroads after the war, as is
generally expected, it is almost GER
tain to coordinate the transportation
of freight, express and postal mat
ter, all of which pass over the rail-
roads. To give the maximum serv-
ice to all communities in the country
the postoffice department will estab-
lish motor truck rural mail and par
eel post service out of all the larger
cities Of the country, and motor
stage lines and freight service be-
tween points on the railroads and
towns without rail connection will be
developed as feeders to the rail-
roads.
Means Motor Increase,
This means an enormous develop
ment Of motor truck vehicles, and,
Of course, a tremendous increase in
their manufacture. Under private OPP
Grafton the railroads never have
looked with favor on the motor vehi-
Gle, considering it as a competition
instead Of utilizing it as a means Of
increasing their own business and
revenue, as is done by the leading
railroads in England.
The government, on the contrary,
has already shown its recognition Of
the possibilities Of the motor truck
This is especially true Of the post
master general, who always has been
an advocate of the use OF motor
trucks in the mail service. He al
ready has installed them in most of
the large cities, and has recently
called for bids of intercity motor
service between New York city and
Philadelphia, New York city and
Hartford, Conn, and Detroit and
Toledo.

FRIDAY SPORT SUMMARY.
(By Associated Press. )

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Toledo was chos-
en- as the convention and tournament
city for 1919, and Robert w. Brown.
of Louisville and New York, was
elected president of the American
Bowling congress at the annual con-
vention at Cincinnati.
Barney Williams, Of Camp Wads-
worth, retained his title of feather
weight champion OF the army and
navy when he received the decision
over Bud PeFrill, of Shelby, in ten
round bout at Hattiesburg, Miss.
The following were the results Of
Western conference basketball games:
At Minneapolis, Minnesota "a, Chica-
go Is; at Bloomington, Ind, Indiana
p, Michigan 20; at Columbus, Purdue
3S, Ohio State 20.
The Chicago Athletic association
won the naval and military athletic
meet at Northwestern university
gymnasium, with 40 points; The I'LL
nois Athletic club was second with 40
and the University of Chicago third
with IA. The relay race between Camp
Grant and the Great Lakes jackies
was won by the former. Frank
LOOMS, of the Chicago Athletic asso-
citation, tied the worlds record for
the hfty-yard indoor low hurdles In
6 3-5 seconds.

tended to the recognized public util-
tiles.
In sharp contrast is the atti-
tude of the other big nations con-
earning their roads. Up to 1913, the
national government Of France had
expended $3l /, 100000 in the construc-
ton OF 20, 756 miles Of national high
" avs and allowed ss,000,O00 per year
fer their maintenance. In addition,
IL had contributed $116,000,000 toward
the Improvement Of 427,141 miles OF
roads maintained by the various de-
partments of France.
In the five years from 1909 to 1918.
the British government appropriated
for road Improvement withil tho
comparatively small area Of the
British Isles $4,000, 900. AS the road
mileage I'm England, Wales, Scotland
and Ireland is roughly, one-terth
that Of the United States, a similar
liberality here would provide an
nually $50, 5000 OF federal funds for
road Improvement. And it is the
game in all other big nations.

lation that win authorize him to es-
tablish motor truck parcel post serv-
ice within n radius Of fifty miles Of
each OF fifty Of the large cities, and
has even offered to take over all the
delivery work of the retail dry goods
merchants in New York city, pro-
posing to buy their delivery equip
ment and have the stores mail their
packages as parcel post matter.
Although the presidential proclaim
alton did not mention the express
companies, it will become almost
necessary to take over their opera
ton also as a government function,
because of their close relations with
the railroads, according to the cham
Der. With the collection, transpor-
tation and delivery Of mail and ex-
press matter in the hands of the gov
eminent, as IL has been for years in
European countries, a natural and
very much to be desired additional
function will be the collection and
delivery of all package freight han
died by the railroads. This has be-
come a pressing necessity to relieve
the confusion and congestion at the
freight houses and piers under the
present antiquated policy Of leaving
this work to private teaming COM
panies and individual shippers and
consignees.
Will Benefit Public.
The coordination OF freight, ex-
press and mail service, as indicated,
will be of immense benefit to the
public, will increase the revenue Of
the railroads and the postoffice, and
will incidentally do more than the
present war is doing to build up the
motor truck manufacturing indus
try to a point where the yearly turn
over will exceed the aggregate value
OF production OF passenger automo-
biles.

Uncle Sam Is
Stingy With
HighWay Fund

About a year ago Congress took
the first step toward federal aid for
road Improvement, the result Of
years of effort on the part Of the
automobile and other interests. 1t set
aside the sum of SIS 100000 to be ex-
pended during a period Of five years,
according to \ prearranged appor-
tionment, among the forty eight
states, provided each state added a
sum equal to its allotment Of federal
money. The amount offered and up
portioned for the current year, the
first OF the five-year contract, was $4,-
$4,000, and but part Of this was
taken up by the various states, how
small a part win not be known until
ofiicial figures are available some
months hence.
Such is the pittance allowed by the
government indirectly to tho motor

NeWS From the World of Sport
HozO Long Can Smoky City Middle
Keep Up His WhirL1Oind Pace2

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 23.-Within
| the past year Harry GTeb, the PITTS
burgh middleweight, has stepped into
a prominence in night circles such as
short a while. At present 1t would be
safe to say that Greb is one OF the
most interesting lighters in the ring
today. This Is largely because he
has shown himself to be q wonder
fully hard worker and able TO con
tinue at a pace that would soon have
most battlers stalllng for breath.
Greb's career is being watched with
Interest at present mostly because
fans generally are wondering how
long he can continue his terrific clip
before beginning to fade away. The
history OF the fight game shows that
the lighters who fight so often and at
so furious clip are those that burnt
out the soonest. Greb had more nights
last season than any other boxer In
the game and in all of his fights he
likes to force the pace and go at his
greatest speed. IT has been a wonder
to fans to see the amount of energy
he burns up in every one of his bouts.
This has made him a great drawing
card and OF course he has made his
fights the more numerous.
IF Greb's finish comes as quickly
as his rise to fame he will be in the
same class with such marvels at the
time Of their prime as Jack Dillon and
Knockout Brown, the New York
lightweight. Brown was a conspicu-
Gus example Of this type OF fighter.
His rise was fast and he soon became
one of the most popular performers in
the game. Lack Of judgment on the
part of his manager was Browns un-
doing. The little East slider fought
so frequently that he seldom had time
TO recuperate between the bouts In
which he spent every bit Of his ener-
gy and at last the strain was too
great for him. He was burnt out in
short order and was obliged to quit
the ring long before his time. II Greb
continues at his present pace he looks
very likely to follow the same foot
steps

Washington, Feb. 23.-Seven hun
dred thousand army rifles have been
produced in the United States since
this country entered the war, &C
cording to a statement made pub
lie today by the ordnance bureau of
the war department. During the
week ending Feb. 8, the daily produc-
ton was 1905 Enfields and 1,442

ice rifles added to the stock every
day. In addition the government re-
ceived 1915 Russian army rifles
during the week, making a total
weekly output OF 72,152 weapons of
this class.
This production, the statement
says, is the greatest ever achieved by
any country in a similar period of
ten months. 1t is four times greater
than the British output after ten
months of war and twice as large as
the British output after two and a
