Extracts from most interesting
letter printed in the Red Cross Brief
for April Fl, and written by DIR. Fran
els B. Boyer, of North Carolina, re-
Gently gone to do Red Cross work in
France, follow:
4 Place de La Concorde,
Paris, March 18th.
My Dear DR.. Snaveley:
l did hope to have chance to see
you before | left the States but was
called suddenly and hardly had a
chance to see my family. 1 survived
the submarine and reached France
very happy in the prospect of my new
job. l want to tell you something of
what | am doing and of the work here.
In the very first place the man who
does not get the vision of what the
A. R. G. is attempting to do here had
better turn around and go home.
This is the place for the realization
of the American Ideal. At home we
are at times apt to belittle our ma
ton and to find fault with it and the
men who work for it. I suppose we
have a right to do so; but here there
is no place for a grumbler or dis
content.
l suppose question most frequent
ly asked me while in the States was
"Is there need for so many bandages
as the women are making?" My an
swer now to this would be: eve are
serving SGT hospitals in 1856 differ
ent towns with hospital supplies"
Huge reserves are being built up to
stand back Of the American army
when the need comes. We also hope
to reach million and a half soldiers
through the canteen work. This de-
velopment has put American re-
sourcefulness to the severest kind of
test. But l should like all the people
of the Southern division to know one
thing. In the minds and hearts of
every man and woman working here
is written this phrase: "Our FIRST.
DUTY TO SERVE THE ARMY OF
THE UNITED STATES" This comes
before anything else and, after that,
our duty to the allies and especially
to the French people. We all have
a tremendous admiration for the
French people and they can be de-
scribed in the old phrase, 'You may
bend them but you cannot break
them" The money the United States
gives appeals to the business sense of
France, but the canteen, feeding

gauze and hospital equipment; the

THE SPECTRE OF FAMINE HAS
BECOME A FEARFUL REALITY
Hamadon and Senne and Other Large
Persian Towns Filled With Dead

Petrograd, April 10.-(CoTespond-
ence of The Associated Press -Peo-
pie are dying of hunger in the streets
of the large towns of Persia, notably
in Hamadan and Senne, says des-
patch from Kaxvin to the Rostovskaya
Rech.
"The spectre of famine has become
a fearful reality" the correspondent
wrote. "To pass through two or three
streets in Hamadan or Senne is
enough to come upon two or three
dead bodies. Here and there may be
groups of women mourning over their
dead. Here is beggar woman-a
mother with two children; one of them
a baby in arms, is dead, and near the
mother, on the ground is another child
dying. The mother herself is already
motionless, with Proven, unintelli-
gent stare. The Persians, seeing that
"a human being is really dying, shove
some bread into the dying woman's
mouth, but the belated help, Of course,
does not save her life. The poor vii
layers throng from the villages to the
towns hoping in vain to be fed there.
"Even in Kazvin, this more or less
well-to-do town, it has more than once
fallen to the lot of your correspondent
to take up from the streets people
stripped bare, who from exhaustion
have been unable to move. Mothers
sell their daughters, still mere chill
dren, in order to secure a crust of
bread; wives of poor men are given to
the rich that their families may be
maintained.
"In Hamadan, a few days ago,
sparks of hunger riot broke out, and
it was only the presence of Russian
troops that stopped the movement,
that was ready to embrace the whole
country in its flames.
"There is a report that Kuchik
Khan, that freebooters' chief, who
lives in the forests near Resht, and
has, under arms, about 10000 mount
ed men, is only waiting to raise a re-
volt when the Russian troops leave.

ling, am brought up against either

OF course we do not need to point
out to you that the passing of this
was a great mistake and
that it would be an Outrageous thing
for it to become flaw. 1t certainly
would not add to the postage revenue
but reduce it because the rates would
be prohibitory. 1t would also be a
great slam on the party passing it.,
