To .An Aml,bIs Child,

A small monument reminiscent OF
old-time New York Is often noted on
Riverside drive, near that somber me-

is inscribed Erected to the Memory
of an Amiable Child" The touching
inscription has aroused much Curl
osity as to- the unrecorded name Of
the victim of an untimely fate. A
New York city paper says that the
child was the son of George Pollock,
who owned tract of land In this Sec
tion in 1897. While this "amiable
child" was on a fishing excursion with
his father at a place called Fishing
Rock. short distance out in the riv-

to another person the land where the
monument stands: 1.-THE surrounding

CARGO OF SUPPLIES
GOES TO ARCHANGEL
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 1900 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 $1,511,233.
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 100000.
Major @. T. Williams of Baltimore
was In charge of the party of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly a men,
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 expenditlon.
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part of the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern of the ex-
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
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate Of about
$4,000 week. The condition Of these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esti-
mated that 90 per cent. Of them were
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 a 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
dried 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.
