alties at the Front.

To give relatives of American SOL
diers details of casualties at the
front, the American Red Cross has
organized at national headquarters a
Bureau of Communication. of which
William r. Castle, Jr., formerly As
sistant Dean of Harvard College and
| Editor of the Harvard Graduates
Magazine, is director. This Bureau
supplements in a personal and hui
manitarian way the reports of the
Statistical Division of the War De-
partment which gives to relatives
official notice when a soldier is re-
ported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally re-
suits from the official report to rela-
tives that a soldier has been wound
ed or is missing" will as far as
possible be dispelled by the Bureau
which will advise in detail the ma
ture and extent of the wound, and
will gather evidence from comrades
in arms at the hospitals and rest
camps regarding those reported
missing"
Any information of interest or
consolation to relatives thus obtain
ed will be transmitted to them thru
personal letters, while messages from
the wounded will be conveyed thru
this same agency.
The information on which the
Bureau will base it's reports is gath
cred thru central Office in Paris,
under the direction of e. Gerry
Chadwick, of New York, aided by
the Rev. Robert Davis, of Engle-
wood. N. j., and thirty assistants
stationed at the base hospitals and
rest camps to which soldiers are gen.
orally returned following important
engagements.
With the increase of the American
forces and participation in the war,
this number will have to be greatly
increased. The information will for
the most part be forwarded from the
Paris office to this country by mail.
For the present the Bureau is re-
porting on all cases that come to its
attention. However, it is probable
that with the increase Of reports
from the front, information will be
sent only to relatives requesting it,
except in cases OF those imprisoned |
or reported missing"
There is a Red Cross service in
Great Britain, France, Italy, Ger
many and Austria. In the London
Office of the British Red Cross, more
than two hundred women are con-
stantly employed in communicating
with relatives of soldiers and their
card index already covers more than
three million cases reported on.

AMERICAN RED CROSS

| The American Red Cross has beer
granted a license by the War Trad,
Board to trade with the enemy"
This is h W 1t came about: tn,
privilege of sending letters, food, and
money to American prisoners of wal
in Germany has been granted ex
clusively to the Red Cross by the
German government.
Germany demands a return fol
this privilege. She asks the Red
Cross to act as the medium thru
which German fathers and mothers
can send WORD from home" or @
remembrance to sons confined In
American prison camps, and to O
minor extent to her prisoners in
French and British camps.
This, in q sense, constitutes trad
ing with the enemy" Thus it was
necessary to get the sanction of the
War Trade Board for the undertake
ing. This has just been secured, and
the license ssued. 1t gives the
American Red Cross a blanket au-
thorization for communication with
prisoners of war over the entire
world-enemy, allied, and neutral.
Recently a naturalized Austrian
came to the Red Cross, begging it to
get word to his son held prisoner in
far-off Siberia by the Russians. He
sent supplies and letter, the spirit
of which is as follows:
do not let the Russians involve
you in any exchange of prisoners, for
then you will have to go back to
Austria, or perhaps Germany, and be
forced to fight Americans. Don't let
them do that If you can help it; but
stay where you are, and we will send
you supplies until you can come to
America"
Scores of similar cases are reach
Ing the Red Cross. In war times 1t
Is tho only organization which can
conduct what is really the single in
ternational post Office and cable Of
fee for prisoners of war in the world.
1t is extending its communication
and information service constantly.
1t is at work all the time gathering
data about the American dead,
wouned, and missing on this side of
No Mans Lapd-and about the pris-
oners on the other. The War De-
partment undertakes to send to the
nearest kin only the bare fact that
an American solder has been killed,
wounded, missing, or taken prisoner.
The Red Cross, on application, sup
plements this by obtaining details
and data. 1t thus performs a service
of inestimable value to relations at
home.
Likewise any enemy alien" in
the United States can get message
Of reinsurance to a relative in the
Central Empires thru the Red Cross,
II the message is legitimate. In rec
ognition of this work, the German |
government grants the Red Cross
similar privileges regarding Ameri-
can prisoners of war in Germany, !
the nature of which cannot be re-
vealed at this time.

Basket Ball Game.

The girls from McFcrrin School

Monday night to take their regular

the Union City High School girls in

game until the whistle sounded for
time. They each led the other at
different times and were often tied
during the game. All this was in
