TT is particularly interesting to Amer
 jeans to know the tremendous
 work which the American Red Cross has done toward relieving dis tresS in Belgium. Among the many things done for King Albert's gallant little army by the Red Cross the fol lowing are a few:
 It established a dining room and reading and writing room at the ware houses in Le Havre.
 It gave a plate and a bowl to 6,O00 munitiOn workers in - to use at their meals.
 It fitted up recreation rooms for workers at intuition plants.
 It installed a cooperative restaurant for the military personnel of the Mari time Agency at Le Havre.
 It installed shower baths and bar Der shop for the army garrisons in Le Havre.
 In army training centers the Red Cross gave household comforts, phOnO- graphs, games, etc.
 IL SSldDl1SlCO O IOl @OO men at the Home for PermissiOnaires at Calais.
 It established a canteen and library at Calais.
 It established another canteen for the personnel of sanitary trains.
 It gave material and games for canteen for the personnel of the naval base at -.
 It gave the same for a canteen for the personnel of Belgian seaplane units.
 It equipped a mess for the personnel of the unit at Calais.
 It gave tents. canteens, reading rooms and shower baths for the per sonnel of the Bourbough bakery.
 It organized dining rooms for searchlight companies and artillery batteries having fixed cantonments, and installed shower baths in them. It distributed 6O,OOO enameled plates and cups for soldiers in the trenches. It gave prizes for organized athletic tournaments.
 IL sent presents to each man deco rated or.bravery. These presents are usually razors, pipes, fountain pens and such. Up to now this work has only applied to the infantry.
 The Red Cross provided the appa- ratus and films for cinema shows. Eight thousand soldiers see them every day.
 It supplied books for all soldiers. It installed a recreation and writing room at the large canteen at La Panne. It presented to every infantry and cavalry regimental surgeon a medical travelling case, holding set of medi- cal instruments for field service.
 This work required an appropria- ton of approximately 1,250,000 francs. Straight from the front is this com ment of a Belgian colonel. It was made recently while he was sitting in his dugout talking of the work of a canteen for which the American Red Cross had just provided quarters on very short notice.

RICH OIL FIELDS OF MEXICO
EXCITE CUPIDITY OF FACTIONS

LAREDO, Texas, Feb. 13.-Diplo-
macy, not arms, has been called on to
end the latest revolt in Mexico-that
of Generals Luis Gutierrez and Fran
cisco Coss in Coahuila-while diplo-
macy, plus arms and American infiu-
ence, is counted on to bring General
Manuel Pelaez to acknowledge the
authority of the government and in
cidentally divert to the national treas
ury the flow of money which Pelaez
has been receiving from the TampicO
oil producers. This information was
brought to the border by travellers
from Mexico City, and supplemented
from the carefully censored stories ap-
pearing in newspapers which recently
have been brought here from Mexico
City
According to story printed in Mex
leo City, General Pelaez, whose forces
have been guarding the district that
supplies the entente navies with fuel
oil, had made overtures to treat for
amnesty with the government The
paper added that the government
would consider nothing but uncondi-
tional surrender, and that General
Manuel Dieguez had been ordered to
press the campaign against Pelaez.
1t was stated by one of a party of
travellers who is in a position to know
the workings of President Carranza's
latest scheme to conciliate the war
ring Mexican factions that the recent
seizure of the feet of the Mexican
Navigation Company was not for the
purpose of bringing foodstuffs from
Central America, but for transporting
troops to TampicO and driving Pelaez'
forces from Their stronghold. One
steamship ALREADY had been loaded
with troops at Vsra Cruz the day he
left, he asserted
Another statement was to the ecect
that General Luis Cabellero had re-
Quested the Tampico producers to use
their influence Q bring Pelaez back
into the ranks Ofgovernment generals,
and that if this we're not accomplished
Pelaez would lie attacked from the
landward and iea sides, with prob
ably disastrous results for the oil
fields from a producing standpoint,
The claim was made that the govern
ment was determined to secure con-
troll of the oil felds, not only that it
might get additional revenue, but also
to use its contol of the, old supply to
force favorable conditions for the ex-
portation of fodstuffs and gold from
the United Sites to Mexico.

NEW CHAIRMAN
To Be CHOSEN
BYREPUBLICANS
(By United Press)

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-Plans, policies
and personalities around which the
Republican party will wage it's fight
next fall to win control of the house
of representative were threshed out
at rally meeting of the Republican
national committee here last night.
The resignation of Chairman Will
cox, to accept post on Director Cen
eral McAdoo's new wage board, has
precipitated a hot fight for the COM
mittee Craftsmanship. The candidates
are: A. T. Hert of Kentucky, John T.
King of Connecticut, committee mem
bers; John T. Adams, vice chairman,
and w. H. Hays, state chairman for
Indiana.
Liberals frankly said that unless the
party adopted a more "modernistic"
stand its political future was dim.
World conditions, they pointed out,
pointed surely to greater liberalism.
The conservatives, at the same time,
saw great popular support in what
they termed a more safe and sane"
policy-with less disruption Ct the
business status quo.
A treasurer also is to be chosen by
the committee.
Just what part, if any, Roosevelt
was likely to play in the discussions
appeared problematic. That policies
adopted for the fall campaign will be
framed with a broad view to the 1920
presidential campaign was assured.
Harmony of the closest character
will be sought. Conservatives and pro-
pressives, initial skirmishes over, were
expected to. bury all differences in a
common purpose.
One momentous question up for deci-
sion was just how far the Republicans
can go in open criticism of the war
administration.

ESTIMABLE LADY CALLED
SUDDENLY BY DEATH

Cordova was shocked today to learn
of the death of Mrs. w. s. Newlin, wife
of the storekeeper for the Copper
River & Northwestern railway. which
occurred shortly before noon. She had
been ailing for the past six weeks,
but her condition was not considered
serious. In fact yesterday she felt
better than usual, and when Mr.. New
lin. returned home this morning he
found his wife sitting in chair, I'M
conscious, from which she never raj
lied, her life departing an hour later.
The deceased was 43 years of age
and has resided here for the past five
years, during which time she made a
large circle of friends. Mrs. Newlin
was former resident of Philadelphia,
to which city her remains will be taken
for interment. No funeral arrange
ments have as yet been made.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is extended to Mr. Newlin in
the loss of devoted and loving wife.

AMERICAN LADY
GIVES UP RARE JEWELS

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The Duchess of
Marlborough has given a $4,000 col
lar, composed of fifteen rows of the
Vanderbilt pearls connected by large
diamond, to a "childrens jewel fund"
for child welfare, of which she is treas
urer The work was inaugurated by
prominent society women to care for
needy mothers and babies, thus lower
ing the infant death rate and improv-
ing the conditions of living
The duchess has received gifts OF
three diamond tiaras, diamond pend
ants, diamond brooches and other val
liable jewelry toward the establish,
ment of 5000 more centers for the
distribution of aid. Articles of jew
elry will be received at a central de-
pot, portions being sold through a
jewel dealer and the remainder dis
posed of by auction.
Women throughout the country are
asked to send at least one piece of
jewelry, as anything from a wedding
ring to tiara is acceptable.

n, ,s7ased that Gutierrez and Coss had
taEoR the field against the state gov
ernment, but had been defeated and
their forces driven to the hills. Gut
tierrez is said to have been wounded.
Unofficial reports received here from
the region of Saltillo and Monterey.
however state that although five regi-
ments were sent from Mexico City to
the affected district and other forces
were hurried there from the north and
east, Gutierrez and Coss virtually have
been unmolested. They have any
where from 1900 to 1000 men, and
thereby paralyzing the national rail-
way system.
Gutierrez asserts, according to re-
ports, that at the recent state election
in Coahuila he was named governor.
but that Gustavo Espinosa Mireles,
a strong Carranza supporter, was
counted in" Mireles assumed office
on December II. Although the re-
volt is given small space in the papers
from the capital, Governor Zembrano
of Nuevo Leon, at his recent confer
ence here with Governor Hobby of
Texas, was quoted unofficially as say
ing that the situation was serious
Coss is the second CT the divisional
generals who backed the Carranza
government to revolt. Villa was the
first.
Americans arriving here from Mex
leo City say that Cantu, Gales, Pelaez
and Alvarado are virtually indepen-
dent rulers in Lower California, So
nora Tamaulipas and Yucatan respec-
lively; that Villa is rampant in Chi
huahua; the Cedilla brothers in the
region between San Luis Potosi and
Queretaro, and that unorganized ban
dts are opposed to Hidalgo, and in
are threatening to take over the coal
mines in the region of MOnclova,
the Vera Cruz and Guadlajara dis
tricts. The campaign against the
Zapata followers in Morelos, at the
gateway to Mexico City, is quiescent,
while forces estimated at thousands,
under the command of former federal
officers, control the isthmus.
Hunger and constantly increasing
cost of living are believed to be the
cause OF much of the present discon-
tent in Mexico, and especially of the
recent recrudescence of border raids.
The last corn crop in the central
plateau was ruined by frost, and the
embargo measures on foodstuffs are
also beginning to be felt. Prices on
almost everything throughout the re-
public have risen to unprecedented
heights.

PEACE TERMS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 13.-When chal-
lenged by Premier Lloyd George to
vote lack of confidence in the gov
eminent, the house of commons yes
terday failed to take such action.
Lloyd George, in speaking yester-
day on the address from the throne,
did not mention President Wilson's

Count Czernin's statement any nearer
approach to reasonable terms of peace
than in those of HersTing's.
The premier regarded Won Hert-
ling's demand that England surrender
many was in no mood to discuss rea-
sonable terms of peace.

A SCOTCH SEAPORT, Feb. 13.-Up

victims of the torpedoed transport
Tuscania have been buried at differ

Villagers came for miles around to
help the survivors bury the bodies,
which were brought to the bleak burial
ground in one big motor truck.

side, and the villagers sang God Save

CREDIT DUE COMPANY

The statement that the young Fair
day on their way to enlist in the army
were given the advantage of having
their expenses paid by Uncle Sam ap-
pears to be erroneous. 1t seems that
the order was either rescinded or
never was issued. The boys state
that the Northern Commercial COM
pany, which conducts the stage route
between Fairbanks and Chitina, cour-
teously gave them half rate, and they
think the company should be given
credit for it's generosity.

FIGURES SHOW
WARS RAVAGES
IN THREE YEARS
(By Associated Press

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 16 (by maiD =
From the beginning of the war up to
the end of 1916 there were over a
million more deaths in Germany than
is normally the case" says the Berlin
correspondent of the Masbode, in a
statement on the effects of the war on
the vital and population statistics of
the German empire,
For the first three years." contin-
ues the writer "the entire loss by NOR
tality is said to have been 100000.
Thus, instead of the normal increase
of 100000, there was on August l,
1917, a decrease of 100000, to which
another 100000 was added as a result
of the decline in birth figures that
still continues. The absolute decrease
in the population after three years,
therefore, would have been per cent
of the number at the beginning of the
war.
"Other phenomena are to be expect
ed for the near future. Instead of a.
100000, the men between the ages OF
II and IS will only number 12,70O,000;
and instead of 100000, as now, the ex-
cess of women over men will be 2,1O0,-
900. 1t is not yet known how the war
losses will be spread over the various
ages, but 1t looks as if there will be
1,100 women to every 1000 men of
manageable age. For these reasons,
and in view of the fact that there will
be a large number of invalids among
the men, the marriage chances must
be termed greatly reduced, a fact
which will in its turn produce further
shiftings on the labor market, that on
their part will again react on the pop
ulation movement.
'"The war is not regarded-at any
rate by experts-as harmful for in
fants. Natural feeding is far more
general than formerly in all classes
of the population, and the results are
good, as the food authorities appor-
ton to the mother the food for the
child, as, for example, one liter of
milk per day. Infants have right to
one liter of milk daily, fifty grammes
of sugar and 200 grammes of flour
week, and one pound of oatmeal a
month, and can do we'll on that.
"The food question becomes very
difficult in the child's second year,
as vegetables and fruits are scarce, at
any rate in the large towns, 50 that
the potato has to take the place of
these. The counsel is now heard more
frequently to restrict gymnastic exer-
else and, following the example of the
marmots, to substitute the food that
is lacking by sleep, and to see that
the children get long nights of sleep"
