RED CROSS BULLETIN

American Red Cross in France seems to have struck more responsive chord in the hearts of the people than the child welfare exhibit which has visited mum. her of French cities and towns Reports reaching the war council state that great crowds continue to patronize the exhibit more than S0,O00 persons visited the educational display in the few weeks it has been at St Etienne. In the three week. the exhibit was in Lyons it was attended by 13,1 ,155 persons. As the Red Cross considers the exhibit the most im- portGnt part of it's campaign for the re- duction Of infant mortality these reports are most gratifying to the officials at national headquarters.
 The most noticeable result in places where the exhibition has been is the great increase in the dispensary attendance. Hundreds of mothers now know how sickiy children can be made well and how healthy children gan be kept in that condition. The people who make up the attendance at the exhibit come from all classes. In Lyons the municipal coun- cil attended in a body. One thousand school children who visited the show wrote compositions on what they saw in a competition for prizes given by tha Red Cross
 More than S0O.0O0 pieces of literature, dealing with the care of the teeth, tie way to prevent tuberculosis, and other health subjects, have been carried away by the visitors. French soldiers, con- valescinE in hospitals, have asked for the literature and have requested that booklets be sent to their wives and chil- d-en

LETTER TO RED CROSS

"The Union of French Fathers and Mothers Whose Sons Have Died For France" delivered at American Red Cross headquarters in France the fol- lowing letter which had been addressed to President Wilson:
 "The Union of the Fathers and Moth CTS Whose Sons have Fallen for France, ? on this day, the anniversary of the birth of the free and noble American nation, wishes to send her the most touching tribute that exists, the homage and the gratitude of the dead who have fallen during the last four years for the world S sake.
 While on the graves where they await victory resound the footsteps of the young and proud American legions, our dead heroes are thrilled with hope and faith. They feel that. in common with their brothers in arms of all the allied na- tions, Americas soldiers are as invinci- ble as the ideal~for which they fight, and they see behind them as clear and as pure as this ideal, the glorious day of the triumph of independence and jus tice dawning in the folds of the Star Spangled Banner.

MILK FOR SOLDIERS

Fresh milk will be supplied to 2OOVU sick and wounded soldiers in France by 1000 cows which the French government has agreed to loan to the American Red Cross, according to an announcement is- sued by the Red Cross today. With these cows the Red Cross will establish model experimental dairy plant at the largest American army hospital in France, S50UU having been set aside for the inaugu- ration of the plant. As the dairy witl be operated by convalescent soldiers the cost of maintainance will be compara- lively small. It is pointed out, how ever, that cost is not important, as fresh pure milk is absolutely essential in the proper dict of the cases at the hes pitals.
 I'airy experts in the Red Cross service abroad are confident that this one dairy can be made to produce enough milk to supply 2e,000 injured fighting men daily. AS soon as the success of the experimcn. is assured, the Red Cross will establish at all the base hospitals in France sim liar Gairies, which will be under the management of one of the leading Ameri- can dairy specialists.
 Lack of fresh milk, according to army doctors seriously retards the recovery of wounded and sick men. Fresh milk at present cannot be secured in quan- titles at any price, the only milk obtain able being condensed milk shipped from America.
 The dairy in addition to providing milk will, with the truck gardens operated by the Red Cross at many of the hospitals, give convalescent soldiers very desirable employment. Farm work, the doctors have found is enc of the best creational employments to hasten the recovery of men suffering from shell shock.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

One of the mistaken ideas of the prize ring is that every man who rises to prominence as a boxer accumulates a fortune The sporting public reads Of how much money Jess Willard has made, how much Benny Leonard, Fred die Welsh, Johnny Kilbane and the oth- CT present day champions have accum- ulated. It imagines from this that ev- cry boxer who rises to prominence soon becomes wealthy.
 But that idea is a mistaken one. The real truth is that nine out of every 10 men who have figured in ring his- tory haven't made a living wage as nlitt wielders And in those nine l in- clude many fighters of the past 20 years who were among the tirst-raters.
 The large money" talk of promo ters, especially in the present genera tion, is more or less air. But the gem eral public doesn't know 1t and is bunked into believing that all fighters reap golden harvests. But they don't.
 Let's take the case of Jim Savage as an example.
 Savage began his career in 1S93- more than 20 years ago. During that time he boxed with some of the great est fighters in the ring game. Savage fought such men as Peter Maher, Kid Jack Dillon and scores of other top
 
 After he knocked out Frank Moran in 1911, Savage ranked as the most prominent of the white hopes. He was internationally known. Everywhere he was touted as a possible heavyweight champion of the world. Now, in view of Savage's prominence, the natural supposition is that he earned a fortune in the ring. Surely, he fought often enough to get the money-and he was a drawing card. But
 We'll, here is Savages own story:
 During my 20 years as an active ringman I earned about $20,00 in purses" declared Savage. That's an average of about 5000 year-an in come smaller than I could have earned in any other profession or trade. And to get that 5000 annually I had to take repeated hammerings. My face still shows marks and scars as mementoes of some of my furious battles.
 Afew years ago I knocked out two men in the same ring, on the same night in total time of 1 minute and 40 seconds. I finished Con Sullivan,

Few Players Stick to the
 Teams They Start With

Harry Hooper. who says he has re- t.ied from baseball for good and all, has the distinction of Icing one of the very lov players in modern tines to begin and finish his big league career with the same club He went from Sac ramento of the California State league to the Red Sox in 1909. Ten seasons he spent in Boston with credit to himself to his club and to baseball.
 Nap Fucker was another to start and end his career in the big show with the same club. Brooklyn got him from Au- gusta, and 1t was with the Dodgers that he wound up by pitching an inning or two against the Red Sox in the worlds series of 1916.
 Ty Cobb has talked of being through with baseball. If so, Detroit can claim the honor of being the only big league club to employ the famous Georgian. He signed with the Tigers in 1905 and has been with them ever since.

SAVED LIFE PRAYING

Getting out of bed to say her prayers saved the life of an aged French wom- an who was a patient at hoSpita. bombed by German aviators. She is aS years old. As soon as the bombing started she left the bed and kneeling by the bedside began to pray. She had been on her knees but few seconds when shell entered the ward passed through the pillow she had just vacat- ed and continued on through the floor. making a hole about eight inches wide Maj. John Van Schaick of the Amer ican Red Cross forces in Belgium wis ited the hospital the next day and learned of the interesting incident. He saw part of the pillow stuck in the hole made by the shell.
 The tremendous scale on which the American Red Cross is now operatins ir the war zone is indicated to some extent by the size of such orders as one for 100000 handkerchiefs and an- other for 65,00O bed sheets recently filled. Many of the articles listed in the store houses are called for by tens of thou sands.
 Many grateful letters have been re- ceived at the headquarters of the Amer ican Red Cross in London from sur vivors of the Warilda, the British am bulance transport which was recently torpedoed and sunk with a loss of more than 100 lives. Red Cross workers had prompt news of the disaster and were at the pier to meet the survivors. pro viding them with food, hot drinks cloth ing and smoking materials. After the immediate wants of the rescued had been attended to. the Red Cross helped to place them on the waiting trains, Many of the $50 survivors were cot eases. Two Americans officers and five privates were on the Warilda. One of the enlist ed men was lost
 Forty trained workers, including six physicians and IS nurses, have been sent to vladivostok by the Japanese chap ter of the American Red Cross at To- ISio. The call being urgent, the party did not wait for a ship with adequate accommodations. The members took the first ship leaving port. although they had to sleep on deck.
