RED CROSS RELIEF
IN The FAR EAST
Bring Food and Supplies to
Czecho- SIovaks in
Siberia.

" HE American Red Cross has be-
come very active in that part of
Russia surrounding Eladivos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted In saving thousands of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the Czecho-Slovak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and is daily becoming greater IN scope.
Cabled advices received from Vludi-
vostok report that more than 10000
Czecho-SlOvak refugees, 1000 of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Gross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganization is attending hundreds of
wounded Czecho-Slovak soldiers who
have reached VladivOstok after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against
the pro-German forces
The condition Of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail
way west of Hardin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees In the number, people
who We're driven from their homes by
the B0lsheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the
wounded Czecho-S lovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
Bolsheviki-German peace. and reliev-
Ing the distress Of the homeless civil
ianS was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles K. Mo-
ser, American consul and head of the
Red Cross chapter at Hardin Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America they went ahead and raised
funds in Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.

Red Cross, DR.. r. b. Teusler, head Of

MEAT PRODUCERS
/. DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs viii
Help to Meet World Fat
| Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
Of Pork Productlon--Sevenfo
i, Increase over Pre-
N War Exports.

Through Increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the o. s. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase In cattle of 10,23S,000 head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January l last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial infOrma-
ton indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than 8 per cent and not
more than Is per cent as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the U. s.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than l,600,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
Impossible
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903, $4,000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $4,000, an Increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed l,263, 100000
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.

In Their Darkest Hour
NO FIXED QUOTAS FOR 1919.

So great is the faith of the American
Red Cross in the American people that
no quotas have been assigned to Red
Cross Chapters for the enrolment of
members in the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call. Universal membership is
the goal. Chapters are limited only
by the number of people in their jul
risdictions. The Roll Call will be fin
ished only when every available per-
son, without regard to age or sex, has
been enrolled Children may join only
through the Junior Red Cross Auxilia-
ries, and their membership dues are
twenty-five cents gear The chief
aim In enrolling is not to raise money
but to increase the membership. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid upon the regular
membership at $1.00 per year, but priv
ilege will be given to enroll as a Con-
trlbuting Member at $500, Sustaining
Member at $1,000, Life Member at
$1,000 or Patron at $4,000.

THl CLIMAX TO VICTORY.

During the week before Christmas
the entire American people will have
the privilege of answering the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call The re-
Spouse should roar through the land
with unanimity that will stimulate
to the uttermost the hopes of men in
all parts of the earth. 1t will there
fore be the climax of American ideal
ism and will usher in Christmas with
a Red Cross membership approximate
ing the census figures What the Red
Cross wants is the approval of the
American people of the Red Cross pol
ley, and such approval will have the
highest significance in the eyes of suf-
fering people everywhere. President
Wilson leads the response and passes
along the message, II summon you to
