by the cooperation of the United States government, the governments & France and Italy, through their big commissions and many shippine agencies. The space secured is used with the most scrupulous care. Be- cause it is so precious, the Red Cross must strictly limit it's shipments to goods of proved value in foreign relief.
 Since the United States entered the war no less than 25,O0O,00O surgical dressings, and 6y2OO,0C0 garments and separate pieces of hospital supplies have gone over for the use of soldiers and civilians, our own and allies, on the other side of the water, not to mention thousands of tons of pur chased supplies.
 And when they arrive over there the job of getting them into actual use is only begun. When the Red Cross reached Paris last summer it found the railroads so congested that they could not handle promptly and regularly the supplies that meant life or death to thousands. So Americans began to build up their own motor transport system, buying and import ing trucks, enlisting chauffeurs and mechanics, renting garages and gen. orally making themselves, for a large part of the hauling, independent of the railroads. It has cost g, 500, 900 to date to provide and maintain this ma- chinery tof transportation in France, and now the supplies which reach Paris at the rate of 200 tons a day can be distributed efficiently through out France.
 The Red Cross box in France goes to reserve warehouses, where abun- dant supplies to safeguard our own army are kept against any emergen- cy; to hospitals---there are $500 French war hospitals on the Red Cross delivery lists; to dispensaries and refugee warehouses. In the one month of February, by actual count, 26,S93 refugees were aided by grants of food, goods. or farm implements.
 The story of the warehouses them selves is worth telling. One, in Paris, used to be the stable of the Paris Icab-horses, and it took the Americans only eight days to remove the 800 bar irels of dust from the tumble-down

to wish you all good year and per- feet health, and to give you our sim cere thanks for the toys and delica- cies which you have given us, and for the happy day that we had all to- gether in our school house at Gruny, the schoolhouse which you, dear Americans, rebuilt
 we, like the other people of Gruny, dop't know how to thank you for the devotion which you have shown, dear Americans, and our dear English, in leaving your home lands to deliver France from the claws of the barbarians. But from the bot tenn of our hearts we wish that the way may end this year so that every one can go home again"
 It takes a long time a carry Red Cross box to it's destination, but it takes only the flash of second for the gladness and friendship that it creates to travel back to the dear Americans who sent it.

a resumption of last Saturdays ac- tivity at higher levels, the rise, how ever, being restricted to war issues and kindred equipments. Bethlehem Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and United States Rubber soon rose more than a point, while Crucible Steel, Great Northern Ore, Republic Iron and American Car were almost as strong. United States Steel gained only a small fraction and railroads were ir- regular. Liberty bonds were firm.
 Noon-The rapid pace of the first hour was met by free offerings of leadings stocks at declines of large fractions to point. Buying power exceeded the selling, however, with resultant recoveries, although some of these were again cancelled before noon. Motor and oil stocks were ad- ded to the firmer issues, but coppers and shippings held back with rail roads Local fractions were strong, Brooklyn Transit rising two points. Liberty 31as sold at 98.90 to 9S-98; the first As at 96.64 to 96.76, and the second 4s at 96.66 to 96.7S.

easier, at some places, and once the Red Cross lieutenant in charge prac- ticalIy had to commander a Iocomo- tive that was pulling freight train north and have it hitched to his own train before he could go on his own way south!
 But when the Red Cross box reaches the end of its Journey how it is welcomed! Hard-Working, fine spirited French women wiring the hands of the messengers; courageous .old priests bless them; efficient Ameri- can social workers Srnake nasty ack- nowledgments and resume their work-more efficiently; kings and queens unbend in human thankful ness; soldiers shout; school children, quaint1y formal, write their childish messages of gratitude.

At one of the outposts in the devasated region there was a. debate as to which to two buildings should be rented for the Red Cross warehouse; the night before the lease was to be signed the Germans dropped a bomb on one of them, and settled the question.
 In Italy. in breathless three weeks the Red Cross sread it's services throughout the whole peninsula, and the workers who came in to consoli- date it's position, as they say in the trenches, have established a chain of warehouses not less impressive than that in France. In Genoa the king of Italy opened his palace to serve as a warehouse for the Red Cross.

THE JOURNEY OF A RED CROSS BOX
By Geddes Smith

Red Cross boxes go around the world.
 They carry food and medicine, com forts and surgeons knives, the han diwork of women who knit and fold and sew through long hours of anxi- ous waiting for news that seems never to come, the work of little chill dren, the gifts of men.
 And they carry all these things a long, long way.
 A trainload of Red Cross supplies for hard-pressed Roumania made the journey from Murmansk, a Russian war capital of Roumania, a few weeks ago. The boxes came from America They travelled more thar, 5000 miles before they reached their destination in Roumanian hospitals and refugee stations.
 In Juneau, Alaska, there is a. four fishing Red Cross chapter. The gauge congresses which the American women there are making may turn up eventually in Saloniki, Greece, B. 700 miles away.
 Ih0 INSu NLOOo hdlo 1bo SAeAPkOAo active, working chapters-almost all over the earth where Americans are living. The output of the busy chap ter in Manila goes nearly 1S,OO0 miles to reach a French war hospital be- hind the American zone.
 The plain fact is that the Ameri- can Red Cross, as a manufacturing and distributing concern, maintains one of the greatest collection and de- livery systems on the face of the earth. There are about 15 900 chap ters and branches now. That means that there are 15,000 workrooms where Red Cross boxes are being fill ed, and from which they start or their long Journeys. The boxes gC first to the IA division headquarters then to the port of shipment, then tC central warehouses overseas, then tC distributing stations and so to the work they were intended to do. The American organization of chapters and divisions is a great funnel int which American women pour thei gifts for half dozen nations The trip across the ocean, in thes crowded days, is made possible onl,

GRANGER ADMITS HIS GUILT OF
 GENERAL CHARGE

Chicago, April z2.--Prof. Thomas of Chicago university, after he was ar rested in a hotel where he had reg istered with Mrs. R. M. Granger, wife of an army officer now in France, is sued a statement made public today, giving his version of the affair.
 Prof Thomas said Mrs. Granger had literary ambitions and that she came to Chicago in search for a girl friend who, she declared, had a re- markable history. She was to have met the professor with the girl to dis cuss the case at the time of their ar rest, but she had been unable to find the girl and had to come alone, he said. The statement adds:
 q am therefore not guilty of the charge as it is understood, but I am guilty of the whole general charge in the sense that I hoEd views and am capable of practices not approved by our social traditions"
 The professor and Mrs. Granger were acquitted of a charge of disor- derly conduct in the municipal court last week.

EnioyabIe Enteretainment-

GUJOyd0tS
 Mrs. Cummings, teacher of the York school, staged very interesting pro- gram at the close of the Red Cross drive in that place last Saturday night, which also helped to swell the receipts from that place. This towns quota was placed at $75, but to be in keeping with other localities of Greenlee county in going over the top, York increased her fund to $40 a part being the aeceipts from the entertainment arranged by Mrs. Cum mings. At the invitation of this lady Mir. Ben Nj. Crawford acted as mas ter of ceremonies, and his usual easy manner was apparent.
 MT. Jonn Christy contributed to the entertainment by making short ad- dress. Mrs Cummins deserves much credit for the enjoyable affair which was so well rendered by the pupils of her school. Several from Clifton avail ed themselves of the opportunity to witness this entertainment, but only the names of MT. and Mrs. Jas. H. Kerby, MT. and Mrs. McDuffie and Hon. Ben M. Crawford were learned.

Perhaps they will tell, and perhaps they wont.

The manage ment states that orders have been placed for larger and other pipe to be used, but these orders cannot be filled at this time. To avoid water famine all must use water less ex- travagantly. It is stated that many patrons allow their hydrants to run all night, thus causing an immense volume of water to waste. Others complain that no water can be had at times, which is doubtless due to this waste that occurs by leaving the water running after the ground is
