Cargo Of SUPPLIES
GOES TO ARCHAKGEL
Red Cross Sends Relief Ships for
Allied Soldiers and Civilians
in Starving Russia.

| A relief ship was recently sent from
this country TO Archangel by the
American Red Cross with 1000 tons
of drugs, food. soap and other sup
plies for the use of the Allied soldiers
and needy civilians in that part of
Russia. The vessels cargo was val
ued at S1,511, 233
Later another ship was dispatched
carrying 200 tons of similar Supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross,
the total expenditure for the two ship
ments amounting TO over S2,0OO,OO0.
Major G. T. Williams of Baltimore
was in charge of the party of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly a mem
Der of the Red Cross Commission for
Roumania. Major Kirkpatrick, at one
time member of the latter commits
sion. but recently attached to the
Army Medical Corps, heads the medi-
cal end of the Archangel expendition.
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part of the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern of the e1-
petition was providing comforts for
American and Allied fighting men in
that part of the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian sol
dlers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate of about
$4,000 a week The condition of these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esti-
tubercular.
In addition to drugs and food, al
most every imaginable article on the
list of supplies sent over was for the
comfort, convenience and pleasure Of
the Allied soldiers. Just few OF
these articles were playing cards,
razor blades, jewsharps, mandolins,
accordeons, ukaleles, monographs,
cameras, skates, wigs, whiskers,
grease paints, footballs, snowshoes,
slippers, hockey outfits, indoor base
balls, moving picture outfits, Bibles,
prayer books, boxing gloves, games,
music, books, cigarettes, candy and
uFleu fruits,
The need of prompt relief for the
inhabitants of towns along the coast
of the White Sea and on the Kola
peninsula, many of whom were facing
starvation, was found to be impera-
tive. Scurvy had broken out among
the people at these places, adding to
the general distress.
The towns to which the relief ex-
pendition was sent are virtually iso-
lated from the outside world because
of the treacherous coast line, shifting
sand bars and uncharted waters. An
exceptionally early frost, even for that
part of the world ruined the harvests,
which were expected to improve con-
ditions. Statements, printed In Rus
sian, explaining the work of the Red
Cross, were distributed among the in
habitants.

CANTEENS SERVING
U. S. TROOPS IN ITALY

The American Red Cross canteens,
which serve at railroad stations, i'm
portant points on highroads. and in
towns and villages throughout the
Italian zone Of war, are now serving
American troops. These canteens
have been operating during the past
six months for the benefit of the Ital-
ian army and its allies, greeting the
soldiers In their passage from one
point to another with coffee and
American crackers and jam. But It
is only recently that the khaki-clad
fighters from across the sea have been
added to the number Of those served
ut the Red Cross rest stations.

The Red Cross Ready for Peace

THE following message has been telegraphed by the
War Council of the American Red Cross to each one
OF the 1857 chapters:
"On February 10th, last year, nearly six weeks be-

Three Magic Words
E4qa
By Gerald Massey.
By Gerald Massey.

There are three lessons would write,
Three words as with a burningpen,
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope! Tho clouds environ now
And Gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith! Where'er thy bark is
driven,
The Gains disport the tempest's
mirth,
Know this===God rules the host of
heaven,
The Inhabitants of earth.
Have Love! Not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul,
Faith, Hope and Love, and thou
shalt find
Strength with LIES surges rudest
roll,
Light when thou else vert blind.

IN DEFENSE OF TRAY.

We are in receipt of a lot OF
junk advocating another dog
law for Tennessee 1t sounds
great, but we do not want any
dog tax unless it is aimed direct
ly at the source of the insplra-
ton, viz, the lady dog, with a
tax of $25 a year for benefit OF
the schools.
People are going to own dogs
and do not want to be taxed for
them as good dog is a source of
companionsbip and conven-
fence. There is a wide diver
gence of opinion over the value
of a dog. What looks to one
like a worthless cur may be the
finest squirrel dog that ever
tracked the woods, and the old,
apparently half dead hound that
sinks around the corner may be
be able to run a fox 48 hours.
The object of this law is os-
tensibly to protect sheep. The
way to protect sheep is with a
shotgun. and keep them enclosed
somewhere near you so you can
protect them, day or night In
fact, syou should not own any
stock that you cannot or will not
look after and protect.
The prime result desired from
more sheep raising is more wool.
That is all right in itself, but
right here we want to say that
true Americans are not going to
keep wars going so as to keep
the price of wool up. Previous
to this cataclysm for democracy,
anybody could buy a good suit at
a fair price. and these promoters
of a dog tax need not think that
Tennesseans are willing to con-
tinue contributing six fieeces to
clothe one soldier and then turn
around and assess a dog tax a
gainst themselves under the fond
belief that it will put a little
wool over their own bones. You
can not pull wool over their eyes
like that. War is a plaything
that real, true, patriotic. liberty
loving Americans do not want,
and if the wool question took
care of itself, as it did, previoue
to the war, it undoubtedly will
achieve the same result as soon
as things get settled.
Americans are getting tired Of
this perpetual round of taxes
that our great men-men who
are wearing the good clothes and
eating the fine food of the ma
ton, but who got their jobs
by the vote of the dog.owning
people-wish to put upon them.
The gratitude of even a dog is
greater than many of these men,
who, lost in the blaze of their
own greatness, lose sight of the
wishes of the common people
who made them great.
Nothing shall be taken in this
article to consttue that we object
to the soldier boys being warmly
clad. Nothing is too good for
them, but wewant it distinctly
understood that we do not be-
lieve that this nation is willing to
take upon itself the burden of
nilitarism and go down in flu
ture years in a crash such as has
bsfallen the German Empire AZ !

ter years of military bondage for
its people. We merely drew the
aIlusion to show what it takes to
clothe a soldier that people may
see one of the items that count
in playing the game of war.

A driving wet snow was falling
this morning when the Germans
opened fire on the American sali-
ent with every weapon at their
command. Seventy-sevens, heavy
shells and gas shells fell in a per-
feet WhirIwind on the American
trenches for half an hour. A. the
same time other enemy shells in
great numbers were dropping on
the American battery positions.
The Germans. evidently thinking
that the Americans in this section
having had one taste of gas few
days ago, would fear it now, let
loose great quantities of poisonous
gas, but the men put on their
masks. and only d few were affect
ed by it. So intense was the fire
that the woods back of the salt
ent were shot to pieces.
