POOR RuMANIA

In Rumania children have to go naked III winter; dozen people have to sleep In one room; houses have no furniture 100000 reople have died of exposure, and there are 500CG orphans to be cared for
 This is the dismal picture drawn by Henry Watkins Anderson, American Red Cross commissioner to Rumania, who, with members of his staff, has just re- turned home after thrilling trip through that country.
 there have been 10000 deaths due to con- tagious diseases and 100000 from expo sure, Nearly s00 900 refugees have crowd ed into Eumania, making food scarcer and living conditions almost unbea ra ble. Pale, emaciateG children run naked about the streets in weather as cold as they have in Montreal.
 The American Red Cross sent II nurses to Rumania. With the aid of the Queen of Rumania, it established headquarters for civilian rehef, and succeeded in get ting many trftinloads of salt herring and other foods into the country. It estab- lished orphanages and distributed cloth ing.
 When MT. Anderson and his party were obliCed to leave in December because of the dangerous conditions that were developing, the last thing they did was to take down the American flag from the Red Cross hospital

Tn speaking of the American Red Cross
 III France prominent Fed Cross worker who has just returned to this country said:
 was never more touched in my life
 tiian when one day I went into our great est Farls warehouse. It was rather late IF the afternoon and getting dark. and came upon one of our floors, a great space that stretches out into a traroe,-
 dous building, and I saw piles and piles or poxes, and I asked what was in
 them, and they told me they were chan Ter boxes. And I went up and exapinad them, and saw the names on the hoxas- the chapters that had sent them. Thers
 were httle towns from all over the coun. try--New York, the middle west, the west and the south. They told me that there
 were 2O,coo boxes there and that thera
 were over 1e0.eC9 more on the way from the Chapters
 When l looked at those boxes and thought of what filled them, it was a very serious moment for me- To know that all over our country the women
 who are sending their boys and their nusbands into that hell-and a great iy oA eAem VIII never come back tfat those women were working at home at nlght, on trains, in the theatres ill
 the afternoons, in the morning. at their
 different meetings, working, working to
 do what trey could in this war to help
 care for those they loved and for those
 lighting for their country over there
 and that they have consigned to our care
 all the products of their labor for dis
 tribution and that they were depending
 on us to see that those for whom they
 work were cared for-it was one of the
 most wonderful thoughts that have ever
 had in my life"

Deaths From Tuberculosis Exceed Other Diseases

To the Editor of The Age Herald: 1 I have on my desk the report for | May. issued by the state board of healh, and with it Dr. Dowlngs re- port for Jefferson county for the same month.
 Comparison of these two is very in structive, and I ask the attention of your readers to the fact that among communicable diseases, except tuber- culosis were 234. In Jefferson county ! the state were TIT; deaths from tuber- culosis were 234. Tn JeJfferson county deaths from other infections than tu- berculosis were 45 deaths from tu- berculosis were 54-or 20 per cent more In the case of the entire state, tuberculosis surpasses the total of all other communicable diseases by more than 32 per cent.
 It is very impressive for us to con- slider that every month in Jefferson county more than 50 new cases of tu- berculosis come to light, and I do not
 know that anyone is laying the mat
 ter to heart as they should, as proof
 that we must have a hospital adequte
 to deal with at least an average four
 month output-200 beds. It is timely
 to add that there are now on my files
 the names of more than 50 soldiers
 from Jefferson county, discharged from
 the army, and so a dead loss to the
 nation, because of tuberculosis Many
 of these have gone back to work We
 are visiting and supervising, as far as
 possible, through the nursing system, every one of these infected homes, and we have been able to serve and ap- parently to save two or three of these soldiers in the present little sana- torium.
 But with the above stupendous fig ures in view. the next step is evidently an immediate necessity. and plans looking to the coming Jefferson county tuberculosis hospital will. I hope be made public in a few days. Respect fully, GEORGE EAVES Secretary Jefferson County Anti-Tu- berculosis Association.

 Pear Mir. Davison: wish to take ad vantage of yonr visit to London to place on record my congratulations on the ad- mirable work of the American Red Cross. The formation of the London chapter rallied all Amencans resident in this
 Kingdom, and the work here has greatly expanded and has been wisely and en- thusiast!cally carried out. As you know the most cordial relations have been es- abolished with the British Red Cross
 We all have the greatest pride, and rightly so, in the American Red Cross hospitals, and in all the various activi- ties under this organization It's we'll directed energy plays no small part in the unbounded service demanded of all and so willingly given in these times. and goes q long way in cementing mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the British empire

Gulf Coast Fair Directors
 Vote Not to Hold Event
 in Mobile During War

Mobile, July O.-(Special.) .)-Directors of the Gulf Coast Agricultural and Live Stock Fair Monday evening voted unan- imousIy not to hold the 1918 fair at Mo bile. It was the opinion of the directors that time, money and men necessary to a successful staging of the fair could be used to better advantage in helping the nation in winning the war.
 The fair association was reorganized several months ago Among other things every indebtedness outstanding was paid in full and a considerable surplus placed in the treasury for the purpose of in- suring successful fair this year.
 The attention of the directors was called to the experience of other and larger fairs over the country, where institu- tions which lave heretofore been pay ing are meeting heavy losses through lack of patronage. General interest of the public in the war, 1t was pointed out, makes it almost impossible to bring out the people for entertainment. Also it was stated that under present condi- tions the patriotic thing to do is to dis continue fairs.
