The great FRESH AIR campaign for
the children of the poor was started
by The Tribune Fresh Air Fund forty
two years ago. Many other organiza-
tions in the intervening years have
joined in the campaign and done mem
orable work for the little sufferers of
the crowded districts of New York and
other large cities.
But no organization has ever sue
cessfully attempted to copy the finest
feature of The Tribune Funds work,
i. e.. the feature which enlists the hosA
pitality of the generous hearted people
of the rural districts for the welfare
of the children.
Fresh air vacations are usually pro-
vided in camps and homes maintained
by various organizations. The Tribune
Fund maintains such camps and homes
probably a larger number of them
than any other organization in the
United States-but it also finds thou
sands of vacation places in private
homes throughout the region within
This part of the funds work is car
rie1 on through a system of Fresh Air
committees which have been organized
during the last twenty years. Through
these committees hosts who will enter
tain boys and girls as guests are rec
commended to the fund. The entertain
ment is entirely free, but that is not
the reason for the claim that this form
of fresh air work is the finest form.
The reason is that years of expert
ence with it have proved that not only
are the people who offer the hospitality
hospitable in truth to their little
beyond providing the mere essentials
of pleasant vacation.
The Tribune fund does not make this
claim concerning this branch of Fresh
>Air work boastfully nor en- the basis
Of its own estimate merely. Day after
day, year in and year out the beauty
and efficiency of the work done in this
way is urged upon the fund by persons
who have no connection with the fund
The three letters which follow: al of
them from we'll known organizations,
are but fair samples of the common
dntions constantly received.
The Charity Organization Society
writes:

Vile, Conn, yesterday looking unus
s,astc about their treatment, and told

hardly remember ever seeing party
come home looking cleaner and better
cared for and happier.

AMERICAN ARMADA
REACHES FRANCE
Eighteen Transports Land Large Con-
tingents Of Americans and Supplies
in War Zone-Achievement Mini
mixes Submarine Perits.

Washington. Jan. 31.-The heart OF
America thrilled today with the news
that the greatest armada in her history
eighteen huge transports-had ar
rived safely at French ports with thou
sands Of officers, soldiers and supplies
TO battle the kaiser.
Stealing out Of American ports the
last two weeks, the vessels-formerly
the best in the Austro-German mer-
chant marine-delivered their precious
cargo on European soil unframed by
spies and unobserved by the watchful
eyes Of submarines.
Protecting them on their voyage
were many men Of war-heet, gray
monsters-that swept thru the waves.
grim warning that their transport
charges were to be delivered unharmedl
The size OF the convoy can not be
published but 1t may be stated that
1t was such as to provide ample pro-
lection for such a tremendous respon-
sibility
Aboard the transports were thou

Ing. troops for service. doctors, nurses
and skilled worImen. From all parts
OF the country they had been secretly
assembled at different embarking
points along the seaboard. None knew
before he left even what vessel he
would board-only that he was to be
at given place at A given hour. pre-
pared for long Journey.
After the noses OF the great vessels

are rejoicing at the news Of their safe
arrival.
1t Is agreed that this Is the best
news that the United States has had
since war began. Not only does II
mean that tens Of thousands Of Ameri-
can soldiers are safely across, but the
fact that the announcement was per-
mitted means that we are in no par
ticular terror Of the submarines and,
moreover. that our army in France has
now attained such proportions that
we are willing that the enemy should
guess at the size Of the accret'ons.

parts OF the commissions decision.
In refusing to allow the general sub.
stitution of higher class rates for less
than carload commodity shipment, the
commission explained that this action
was taken partly in consideration OF
the probability Of a return OF water
competition when peace Is restored.
Further reasons for refusing this appli-
cation Of the railroads were given as
follows:
Less than carload commodity rates
are of long standing. Business has be-
come accustomed to their use and their
cancellation will result in much en-
barrassment ard loss of business to
persons who can not ship In carloads
the articles they manufacture or sell.
The increases resulting from the sub
stitution of class rates are unreason-
abie>in the light Of all the conditions"
