RED CROSS GOODS
FILL HUGE DEPOT

LONDON. Nov 2.-CBy mail)-
Coleman street, down by the Bank of
England, is in the heart of the his
toric old "City of London" The Ar
morer's Hall is there with its treas
ures which recall the wars of the
barons and its gorgeous gold and sill
yer plate. Nearby is the old church
of st. stephens spared by the great
fire.
Coleman streets newest activity is
the great storehouse of the American
Red Cross.
The warehouse is more impressive
than any display of chased cuirass or
forgotten crafts. 1t is fully as inspir-
ing as the old church. The warehouse
has the advantage of size, too, and
every floor is filled with things for
the American soldier.
Here in one huge pile are 500 bales
of blankets 1t seems as if one could
blanket all the allies from this one
pile. Another pile contains nothing
but hospital linen of all kinds, while

IN FRANCE. Nov. 16.-Officers OF
the German army who occupied Thia-
court until they were driven out by
the Americans in the smashing of the
st. Mihiel salient enlivened their stay
in the little French village by con-
suming large quantities of French
wines which they confiscated from
the cellars of the French proprietors.
From the wine cellar of one French
man alone the Germans took 5000
bottles of champagne, 10000 quarts of
red wines in bottles and drained 30
enormous casks each containing more
than 5000 quarts of various kinds OF
wine. The advance guard of the Ger
mans helped themselves literally to
the wine. Later the great part of II
was shipped back to Germany as loot
of the German army.

FROM THE PEOPLE

Granum, Alberta, Nov. 1918.
Fast Oregonian. =.
Pendleton, ore,
Dear Sirs,
My attention has been called to an
article appearing in your paper to the
effect that my aunt, Mrs. Peter Em-
busk. did not die of Influenza, but of
typhoid.
says 1t Was Influenza.
My family, hired men and the whole
neighborhood for miles around were
free of the disease. but soon after the
arrival of my uncle and wife, myself,
family. cousin, some of my hired men
and part of the neighbors who assist
ed us in, our trouble, and later the
trained nurse who waited on us, were
stricken with the disease.
Dr. Dan MacMillion. of Granum, said
Mrs. Embusk's case was the first of
the kind he had waited on, but from
the description of the disease he
thought she had Influenza. After Mrs
Embusk was taken to the hospital at
Mcleod. Dr. Kennedy said there was
no mistake about il being Influenza.
DR.. Kennedy bears the reputation of
being one of the best and most learn
cd in the country.
/ ask that you correct the error
made in your former statement.
Yours very truly.

valescent suits. pyramids Of pajamas,

whole unconauerable spirit Of the
stars and stripes. floating from Maine
to California, penetrates this vast
storehouse in old London.
The great stores here come from
every corner of the United states.
from Individual chapters OF the COM
plex organization known as the Ans
erican Red Cross.
One of the most interesting parts OF
the warehouse Is the section devoted
to "bonded'' stores. This big room
is practically a department of the
English excise. A customs officer is
there on duty to wise all incoming or
outgoing consignments of things that
would be dutiable to ordinary import-
ers. such as tobacco, sugar and chloro,
form. Under his care there are more
than 5,000.000 cigarettes waiting de-
livery to hospitals and canteens. to-
gether with great quantities of chew
ing tobacco and pipe tobacco. Here
too are scores of barrels of sugar and
great sacks of coffee by the dozen. All
these things come in free of duty for
the American soldier.
In the labyrinth of these storerooms
one begins to realize the stupendous
scope of this war and of the Ameri-
can effort which is being put into it.
Every item of goods In this vast ware
house has come across the sea in de-
fiance of the threat OF the German
U-boats.

LONDON, Nov. 16.---England has
adopted the American soldiers and
sailors within her shores. Her hos
pitality is limited only by the nuns
Der of men who come here. Vice.
Admiral Sims Commander of the
American naval forces in European
waters. aud Mai. Gen. Biddle, com
mander of the American army In Eng
land, told the United Press what this
hospitality has meant TO the United
states forces in waging the war.
''Since our entry into the war" said
Admiral Sims, nothing has been
more impressive than the hospitalitN
of the British people to the officers
and men of the United states navy
based on these islands"
Hospitality plans recently worked
out provide for invitations to Ameri-
can army and navy officers and men
on leave in England to sped at least
part of their time as guests in English
households. Information bureaus
have been established at ports of de-
barkation and at military camps
where records are kept of the address
es and accommodations of those who
have opened their homes to Ameri-
cans As the men report for leave,
those who desire to accept such invi-
tations will he assigned to homes. and
as far as possible they will be sent to
the parts of the country they desire
tc visit.
For Convaescents =.
The same plan has been arranged
for Officers and men who are convaI-
escent from wounds or sickness and
discharged from hospital but need
further rest before returning to duty.
Hundreds of English parents whose
sons have died in the cause for which
America is fighting are opening their
homes under this arrangements Hun
dreds more, whose sons are still on
the battlefield are doing likewise.
Those who have no sons are doing
their utmost to be foster-parents to
the Americans over there.
The work of entertaining American
troops at rest camps and sailors at
shore stations is already well under
way. There are movie shows at most
of the camps and frequent concerts,
boxing bouts and theatrical perform
ances by professionals and amateurs
from nearby towns. Artists and per-
formers are showing the greatest
readiness to volunteer for this woria
during their spare time.
In fact, the objective which Eng
land set out to achieve not many
weeks ago has been reached-Eng-
land is "Blighty" for the American
soldier and sailor.
