Chronicle 1t is said that the most re-
liable information puts the number of
Bolshevist troops at about 10000
scattered over most of the former
Russian empire. It is pointed out,
however. that it is probable that an
effort will be made to increase this
force for the purpose of marching
westward toward Germany, where the
Bolshevists have carried on an extern

ONE MAN IS KILLED AND ONE INJURED AT,ls
 WATERFALL CANNNERY

KETCHIKAN, June 22.-One man was killed and other injured last Wednesday morning about eleven o'clock when the retort at the Alas ka Fish Company's cannery bursted, from, presumably, oyer-pressure of steam, is the reported brought in by Superintendent w. E. Epperson of Waterfall.
 Yamamura, a Japanese employee, had his head crushed and died about half an hour after the explosion, while George Held, foreman of the eannery was injured and taken to the hospital at Craig where he is recovering rapidly as his injury was not of a serious nature.
 Superintendent Epperson said last evening in telling about the affair, shat 1t was purely accidental The men were busy as usual when the explosion occurred. and no blame could be placed on any one or more persons, he said. Yamamura who was sweeping about the retort at the time of the explosion. was hurled with such force against the side of the building that his head was crushed and he died shortly after.

 The play was good, and the finish close and exciting, albeit we had to wait for half an hour before a run was scored.

But at the end of the eighth innings the score was level at five all When the Navy obtained the lead in what would ordinarily have been the final innings it appeared as if they were going to snatch win, but after very keen play the Army squared at six all.

George Bebdn ct Coliseum in "The Bond BetWeen."

In the Pallas- Paramount produc- tiOn of "The Bond Between," in which George Beban will be seen at the Coliseum on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 1t is necessary in sev- eral scenes for a young woman to pose as Venus. A Venus was se- cured and when called for the scene, stuck her nose out of the dressing room door into the cold air and promptly refused to do any "Venusing" that day unless she could do it in sealskin overcoat Several methods were suggested as to how the young lady could be kept warm while the picture was being secured and finally MT. Beban hit upon the brilliant idea of taking a stove and putting a nice drape over it and letting the young lady stand upon it.
 This was done without informing the prospective Venus. Barefooted she stepped on to the disguised ped estal and instead of assuming the classic pose of the famous statue, she executed more or less artistic yer sion of the Highland Fling as she
 eaped to cooler spots. Her feelings were injured as well as her feet and she promptly resigned while the engaging department went in search of less temperamental and more fire-proof classic.

SPORTS

Baseball is no longer the novelty to Englishmen that it was a few years ago but it was only recently that the natives had an opportunity to witness the American National game staged amid the proper sur roundings. Major league clubs have toured England in the past and play ed the game with all the skill for which the players are noted but the final touch was always lacking for there were few if any real Ameri can baseball fans to supply the na- tural background for the sport.
 With thousands of United States soldiers and sailors now quartered in England, this deficiency has been remedied and the Englishman has The result, as may be imagined, was somewhat of shock to the staid Britisher and the newspaper reports elaborated upon this feature. in describing the opening of the Anglo-American League, composed of three United States army; one navy club and four Canadian teams, Iloyd's Weekly News published the following:
 We saw a little of America S riOtous enthusiasm for baseball at the Arsenal football ground yesterday, when after about three hours play, the United States Army team beat the Navy by seven runs to six. From the moment when Admiral Sims Commander-in-C of the American Navy in European waters, and Gen eral Riddle, the American G. O. c. in England started a game with friendly throw, there was scarcely break in a nerye-disturbing hub bub. To the philosophical English man who takes his sport calmly it was all very bewildering, and he must have been thankful that there were not mOre' than 4,000 people present In this sense baseball is an acquired taste, and perhaps when we become more accustomed to it we shall regard this enthusiasm" as an essential quality.

A comprehensive Red Cross organization

The stream of refugees flowed unabating to
the South One afternoon, on two hours
notice, preparations were made to feed twelve
thousand refugees at the Portonaccio Station.
Hundreds Of thousands had been dislodged
from their homes. To have cared for this
housed population would have taxed the re-
sources of any country. But in addition
italy had to salvage its army and turn back
an invasion with its remaining organized force.
1t was to this emergency that the Red Cross
brought its mobile machinery and financial aid.
In this work the American note was struck
By the Red Cross ! it gave assurance to Italy
that in resisting invasion and getting under
her heavy load of civil distress, the American
people were with her.
In his address at the opening of Parliament
early in December, the Italian Premier,
Baron Sonnino said, "Our soul is stirred
again with appreciation and admiration for
the magnificent dash with which the American
Red Cross has brought us powerful aid IN our
recent misfortune We attribute great value
to the cooperation which will be given US
against the common enemy by the prodigious
activity and by the exuberant and consistent
force which are peculiar to the American
people"

The Italian Disaster

Never in its history has the American Red
Cross more graphically proven its mobility
and efficiency than when it went to meet and
care for the half million or more refugees who
were driven down from the mountains Of
northern Italy by the Austrian invaders in
October of last year.
The italian situation" was flashed on the
world overnight. For two years the italian
Army had been slowly making its way
against the Austrian In two days all it had
accomplished was undone During those two
DAYS not only was Italy's military progress
reversed, but six hundred thousand of her
women and children and old men were forced
to flee before Mackensen's force.
If ever there was an emergency to be met
It was when the refugees began to stream down
the mountains in northern Italy. From Wash
ington there was flashed to Rome assurances
Of aid, backed by authority to Ambassador

last October, killing sixty-seven men, one hum
dred and seventy Americans with but few
minutes to leave the sinking transport, fioated,
half clad, in life boats and RATS, in icy water
for hours. They finally reached port IN
France. Cooperating with the governmental
authorities, the Red Cross rushed to the port,
fed the survivors, clothed them, hurried the
worst sufferers to the hospitals, and supplied
them with money to be repaid when possible.
Had the members of their own families met
them ashore, these American boys could not
have had more solicitous care; and the Amerl-
can Red Cross thinking always of the family
as we'll as of the direct sufferer, cabled their
condition to their families in this country.

The German Attack
in March, 1913

When the Germans after a full winters
preparation launched the greatest Of all
attacks against the British in March Of this
year, the British retired over considerable
area, forcing the civil population again %
evacuate this stricken soil.
The papers Of March 9th told the story OF
the Red Cross motor service in France waking
the inhabitants in the early hours OF Monday
morning March 25th, transporting and feed
ing them and providing food and shelter for
them in Paris.
Again the capacity to meet the emergency.
AS one looks back over the recent years there IS
a chain of record Of how the American Red
Cross rose to the occasion. The San Francisco
earthquake, the famine in Russia in 1905, the
Messna earthquake, the Cherry Mine disaster,
the nundation of Paris in 1910, the famine IN
China in the same year, the Titanic disaster,
the Mississippi and Ohio floods in 1918, the
Eastland disaster in 1915 and now the daily
record of emergency met by the Red Cross IN
Roumania, Russia, Greece. Serbia, Italy, Bel
gium, France and the United States In this
greatest catastrophe of all time
The Red Cross does move quickly and effect
lively. 1t is Americas helping hand to the
nations of the earth in their troubles.

The Red Cross has many aspects In one view, 1t IS
the American peoples organized and world wide
preparation against calamity.
1t acts in emergency is supported by the people,
is manned by those trained to fight disaster 1t
is supported by voluntary contributions; It's oper-
ations cover the whole field of human misfortune.
Disaster comes unheralded; cyclones, tornadoes,
earthquakes floods, explosions, conagrations tor
pedoes, even battles and invasions give little warn
ing, or none.
To meet emergency, these things are necessary:
organization, resources equipment, expert knoNi
edge zeal, mobility, and speed.
The American Red Cross is the main reliance of
our own Government and co-operates with foreign
governments and foreign societies IN the work OF
relief everywhere.
