Captured American soldiers. arrtv-

American Red Cross emergency food

ten pound food parcels have been
shipped there from the Red Cross
headquarters for relief OF prisoners at
Berne, Switzerland. for distribution to
newly arrived prisoners. There are
about twenty-five Americans in the
Tuchel camp at present.
It is hoped that arrangements can
be made in the near futures whereby
all or nearly all of the German prison
camps will be stocked with similar
emergency supplies, in anticipation of
the wants of those who are unfortu-
nate enough to fail into the hands OF
the enemy. There are Approximately
200 main prison camps in Germany,
and some 10000 prison groups, count
ing the small detachments of prison
ers sent out to do farm labor The
American Red Cross plans to supply
all these work camps, as well as
others where American prisoners are
held, with the regulation food parcels.
In the ordinary course of saftains
II would be necessary for the bureau
az Berne to be advised regarding the
arrival of American prisoners in a
German camp before sending food
parcels. Ten DAYS or more would
elapse before the prisoners could
have the benefit OF the rations At

delegated custodfans of the en1er-

SMALLPOX SPREADING

Those Not Recently Vaccinated Should
lose No Time Seeking Such
Protection.

According to information received
by the state department of health,
smallpox continues to spread in large
number of counties of Virginia, For
tunately the disease seems generally
to be of q mild type. and no deaths
have as yet been reported this year.
However. there are some case in
which the disease has taken serious
turn and all the localities affected will
be earnestly urged to take the most
energetic steps possible to eradicate
the contagion.
Upwards of fifty new cases were re-
ported last week. twelve being in
Pulaski county, one in Lee. one IN
Smyth, two in Caroline, several in
Russell. several in Spotsylvania- one
in Middlesex. one in Wise, one in
PittsyIvania. sixteen in Carroll, six in
Newport News, and one in Suffolk.
An persons who have not been re-

The explanation he gives. is bet

remarkable record, but one is pre-

when he sees how much more is

years ago. Still there is room for
great Improvement, as thousands of
parents have no knowledge whatever

know little about proper care of

1t is fact that most men who

RED CROSS AGAINST
PLAYING FAVORITES

! According to work received yester-
day at the headquarters of the Rich
mond chapter of the Red Cross. the
practice OF recommending single
commercial house or pattern com
pany to Red Cross workers in need
OF supplies is contrary TO the society's
policy.
The following statement dealing
with the subject has been issued
by General Manager H. D. Gibson:
1T has been brought to our attention
recently that some divisions are speci-
trying certain pattern companies as
the best companies from which 10
purchase the official Red Cross pat
terms Articles have recently appeared
IN various division bulletins mention
ing one pattern company only in ref
ierence to certain official patterns
"AH DEPARTMENTS in divisions
should be notified immediately that
1t Is against the policy of the Ameri-
can Red Cross to mention the name
of any one commercial house from
whom Red Cross chapters or workers
may buy produce.

toned list of all companies issuing
these patterns should be given, or
workers should be told only that the
official patterns can be bought from

companies. All OF the compas1ies sell
these patterns under the same name
should. therefore. be no confusion!"

In addition to having a general pa

Want Men for Special Training.

The Local Board has received call
for eight men from this county, four
white men and four colored, to enter
special training at the University Of
South Carolina, and State Colored
college, at Orangeburg. These men
must have been graduates of gram
mar school, and must have some ex-
perience along mechanical lines and
some aptitude for mechanical work.
Volunteers for this training will be
accepted up to June 2lst, and after
that date if there are not sufficient
volunteers the Local Board will pro-
ceed to select the eight men to be
drafted. This is an exceptional op-
portunity for young men of the coun-
ty, and there should be no necessity
for the Local Board to have to draft
men for this training. Qualified
young men will be doing themselves
an injustice if they fail to see the
Local Board at once and investigate
this opportunity.
