CARGO OF SUPPLIES
GOES TO ARCAANGEl
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 soldiers
and needy civilians in that part of
Russia. The vessels cargo was val
ued at S1,511, 233. 4sma.CsE'es'-- -,,
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 G. T. Williams of Baltimore
was in charge Of the party of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly a men,
Der of the Red Cross Commission for
Roumania. Major kirkpatrick, at one
time a member of the latter commits
sion, but recently attached to the
Army Medical Corps, heads the medi-
cal end Of the Archangel expenditiOn.
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part of the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern of the ex-
petition was providing comforts for
American and Allied fighting men In
that part of the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian SOL
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate of about
$4,000 q week. The condition of these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esti-
mated that 90 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, candy and
/ dried fruits.
The need of prompt relief for the
/ inhabitants of towns along the coasj
/ 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 tC
I the general distress.
/ The towns to which the relief e1
/ pendition was sent are virtually isO
lated from the outside world because
| of the treacherOus coast line, shifting
sand bars and uncharted waters. Ar
exceptionally early frost, even for thai
part of the world ruined the harvests
which were expected to improve con
dirions. Statements, printed in Rus
sian,. explaining the work of the Red
Cross, were distributed among the in
habitants.

SEWER STOPPED BY TREE ROOT

The sanitary sewer system has
been stopped up in several places in
the city by the roots from growing
trees. The city authorities have
communicated with experts but no
satisfactory solution has been Of
fered. 1t may become necessary to
cut down all trees along the streets
that are close to the sewer but it is
hoped that this step will not be nec-
essary.

BAN ON DELIVERY LEFT
TO STATE COUNCILS

The ban on delivery and other
store services, which has been put
in operation throughout the coun-
try during the last few months, in
stead of being lifted, as have many
others, has been transferred from
the National Council of Defense,
and War Industries Board to the
various State Councils of Defense,
with recommendations that the var
ious State Councils shall determine
the needs of the State as to whether
the ban shall be lifted or not.

Army and Navy News

The following are digests OF opinions
rendered recently by the Judge Advo-
cate General:
A number of enlisted men were re-
quired by the military authorities to
unload certain lighters containing Sig
nal Corps supplies because it was con-
sidered an undesirable risk as well as
slow handling to have the railroads do
this work. Inasmuch as it was the
duty OF the railroad company to un-
load the lighters the company paid for
the services of the soldiers, and a part
of the sum SO paid was expended for
the convenience of the soldiers in con-
nection with their work. Held, that
such soldiers are not entitled to ex-
tra-duty pay, since it was their duty
to carry out their orders without any
additional compensation; accordingly.
although 1t was proper to use so much
Oh the FUND as was necessary to pro-
vide the men with subsistence and to
pay such other expenses as were nee
essar1ly incident thereto, there Is no
publication for distributing the balance
of this money among such soldiers or
using 1t in improving their mess. but
the same should be deposited as miscel-
laneous receipts as required by Revised
Statutes, sections 3617 and 361S. ions

CREEL REPLIES
/ PARTISANSHIP
Denies Socialism, Declares
Politics Not Considered

George CreeI. chairman Of the Com
nlittee on Public Information. struck
back yesterday at the Congressional
critics who have charged his bu-
reau with partisanship and with be-
ing manned with Socialist and !. W.
W. employees.
CreeI denied that he is Socialistic
and as to partisanship declared that
no mans politics ever had been con-
sidered in his committees until Con-
gress raised the question With his
letter. which was addressed to Chair
man Pou. of the House Rules Com
mittee. Creel submitted the political
allegiance of all his division heads.
which showed five Democrats, eigh?
teen Republicans and eight independ-
ents.
Yesterdays letter came in reply to
q letter by Chairman Pou to Creel.
Pou had written that five charges
had been raised informally by mem
bers of his committee against the
Creel bureau. as follows:
That Creel is a Socialist; that Creel
does not believe in the American
form of government: that in his So
called Undertaking" days he had
attacked the constitution and the tu-
dietary; that l. W. w. members are
employed by the committee: and that
Its news releases have proved mac
curate. CreeI replied as follows:

ciic answer to the charges against

II. I am not a Socialist: have never
been identified with the Socialist or
ganization in any particular; have
never voted a Socialist ticket and
dissent absolutely from the funda-
mental tenets of the Socialist faith.

borne in mind that no news release

WASTE.

There is much talk about the con-
servatiOn of food and fuel, but it
would seem wise to impress upon the
public that the first step toward con
servation is the intimidation of
waste
1t is not so much what one eats as
what one casts aside-not so much
what enters the stomach as what fills
the garbage can-that makes for an
increase in the food debit of a ma
ton. 1t is not the warmth derived
from a normal temperature which
makes for fuel shortage, but rather
the coal-laden ashes, unutilized fagots.

This is also true of labor. The nee

vital-so vital that every adult as
we'll as every child, should be impress

press others both by words and deeds
with the paramount Importance of re-
leasing unnecessary labor.
Young and old, rich and poor. black
ard white those who are ailing as well
as those who are strong, need to be
brought to realization of the eco
nomic fact Of the inter-relation of food,
fuel and labor, and to the primary inn
portance of conserving, through elm
ination of waste as we'll as through
other channels, the resources of this
country.
A conservation system which would
make the elimination of waste its cor
nerstone would not only actually save
material, but would contribute toward
a foundation for permanent economic
security.

"THE ONLY ROAD"

The Manufacturers Record has
been printing, as its slogan each week,
this sentence:
THE chief business of the Ameri-
can people is to win the war;
But it has now abandoned that motto
and has adopted new one. 1t is:
sour business is to kill as any Ger,
mans as possible before these muir
Gerers kill us"
In defense Of that argument, The
Record says:
There is only one way to end this
war, and it is our duty to follow that
day to the best of our ability; and
that way, the only possible way to
save millions of our men and to save
our country and civilization itself is to
kill German soldiers, and to kill and
keep on killing, for the more quickly
and more fully we kill German sold
iers, the fewer will be the number of
American soldiers they will kill.
Does this seem brutal. It is not.
1t is the only road to end this war.

very little if you Red Cross ladies
failed us in America" We will all
say together: 1--WE will not fail you"
Belding is showing every day and in

The last drive gave US 721 new
members; nine of these were maya
zine contributors and three were

Mrs. Washburn called US out to
make hurry up call of surgical
dressings last Wednesday, expecting
it would take four meetings to. fill the
order. So many ladies came the first
afternoon that the order was finished
by five o'clock.
Five cases of work were shipped
last week consisting Of knitted ar
ticles and pajamas, and over 200 of
the surgical dressings.
Friday evening of this week we
will have another class for the dress
ings and about thirty ladies can work.
We will soon have 1000, 900 Of our
finest, cleanest, bravest boys over
there, and as the cold weather is
here many garments are needed to
help keep the boys warm. Let each
ward give a good attendance on the
day assigned and we will keep the
good work going.
