The fighting on the Montello con-

RED CROSS FIGHTS
DEADLY EPIDEMIC

Besides the special work conducted
by hundreds of Red Cross Chapters
throughout the country in checking
the recent epidemic of Spanish Influ-
enza, the organization through its
headquarters at Washington is prepar-
ing to fight a repetition of the expert
ence that was so disastrous this fall,
educating the public thoroughly re-
garding the symptoms and the proper
cale at the beginning of an attack. In
addition to this, the American Red
Cross is fighting tuberculosis. The re-
zen appropriation to the National Tu-
berculosis Association will be used for
educational as well as relief work
throughout the country.
So much has been said about the
aftermath Of the epidemic that espe-
cial attention is being given to the
work along this line. The weakness

tient In a condition which makes him
q good field for the germs Of tubercu-
losis. A thorough physical examina-
ton, proper food and clothing. the use
Of mild preventives, will check the
progress of the disease at once.

FILL SOLDIERS SOCKS
An Old Fashioned Celebration of
YuDetide for American
Soldiers in France.

A Christmas tree in every ward Of
every American hospital and in every
hospital recreation hut in Francel
Every wounded or sick American
lighting man to receive two socks filled
to the brim with fruits, nuts, candy

pitfalls arranged by the American Red
Cross In France In cooperation with
the commanding officers Of our fighting
forces In that country. Details Of the
plan to make Christmas as merry ~
possible for the soldiers in these insti-
tutions have just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places will
also share In the distribution Of Christ
mas cheer. Because of the limited
amount Of available shipping space
the Red Cross was compelled to aban-
don Its original plan to send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients in France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration In every sense Of the word.
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and in addition to the good
les mentioned above will contain q
handkerchief and q card, on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
lean Red Cross is prepared to render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive a sufficient number of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists in the Red Cross service-t0 en-
able him to write to members OF his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, of course, win
be one of the features of the celeora-
ton. After dinner there will be
musical entertainment, motion pic
lures and general singing.

CHARGED WITH COAL
PROFITEERING
Mine Operator at GOrmania Must
Answer in the United States
Court.

William A. Price, a coal opera
tor of Gormania, w. Va, on the

Sayler in Baltimore Tuesday for
his appearance when summoned
before Judge Rose, of the Federal
Court, on the charge of selling BIZ
luminous coal at a higher price
than that set by the Government.
1t is understood that the Fuel ADJ
ministration set So as the price for
a certain grade of coal and that
the Gormania operator received
various sums of money in excess
of the Federal price. Mr.. Price
has denied the profteering allega-
ton. He was arrested Wednes-
day afternoon and spent the night
in cell at the Central Police
Station.
Price, who is So years old, was
arrested at his mine by Deputy
United States Marshal Alden Dillon
Price vainly protested his incar-
ceration in the steel cell at the
police station, and he openly ac-
cused business enemies for his
arrest.
The Federal warrant, it is un-
derstood, accuses him Of selling a
highgrade coal used by smiths at
a greater price than set by the
Fuel Administration.
He has selling headquarters in
