Weekly Packages Sent to

Repatrlated prisoners of war who are
being cared for by the American Red
Cross in France pending their trans
portation to this country are unani-
nous in declaring that if it were not
for the Red Cross they would have
starved to death, according to dis
patches received here from Vichy,
France.
1t is in that city that big rest bar
racks have been equipped for the re-
ception of the prisoners, and 1000 of
the 2,700 Americans captured in the
fighting on the Western front already
have been released. Most of these were
taken in the fighting last summer but
some of the men have experienced the
horrors of German prison camps for
many months.
vices received by Red Cross headuuar-
ters in this city. declared they had re-
celved a Red Cross package every week
after their removal to the American
camp at Rastatt, and it was only this
that kept them alive. A few Of the
men were transported to points all over
Germany before finally being sent to
Rastatt and to Tuchel, prison camp
where they were obliged to do the work
OF horses, drawing wood distance of
fourteen kilometres every day. At
Rastatt the Germans confined their eff
forts to the distribution of propaganda.

Americans that their countrymen had
forgotten them
at didn't look like it," said Sergeant
Edgar M. Halyburton, one of the
prisoners, when we were receiving all
of our food and clothing from an in
stitution which represents the people
Of America"
The Red Gross packages, in addition
to clothing, contained two cans of roast
beef, two cans of "bully" beef, two
cans Of hash, can of salmon, a can of
Jam, can of corn, two cans Of peas, a
pound of sugar, pound Of coffee. a
can of milk, a can of tomatoes and
eight boxes of hardtack.
The German prison fare consisted of
fifth of a loaf Of war bread. two
ladies' of thin soup and a cup of warm
water each day.
Sergeant Halyburton was in COM
mand of the American prisoners at Ra-
staff, being elected by them to that
post He has been regular army man
nine years and was captured thirteen n
months ago.. His work at Rastatt has
so impressed Colonel w. I. H. Godson,
American military attache at Berne

mended for a commission.

Reisenweber's

After theatre crowds received a
treat last night in the Paradise
room, atop Reisenweber's, Fifty
eighth Street and Columbus Circle,
in the opening there of the Russian
Gypsy Quartette and the Balalaika
Orchestra, from the show "Redemp-
tion," now playing at the Plymouth
Theatre.
These remarkable singers and the
Balalaika Orchestra will continue
to entertain guests nightly after
theatre in the Paradise room, atop
Reisenweber's.
Sophie Tucker and her Five Kings
of Syncopation drew a record at
tendance last night in the 9 Sophie
Tucker room at Reisenweber's and
the demand for encores was so great
that Sophie was almost in need of a
physicians care. However, her voice
did not show any signs of it.

revue Here and There" featuring
Midgie Miller, gave an eyeful to all

Syrians in Army Would

Wilson Asked to Accept Man.
datory From League and
Protect Land

DR.. George I. Kheiralla, president Of
the New Syria National League. issued
statement yesterday advocating the
selection of the United States as man
datory or trustee of Syria. This coun-
try, he declared, could use the $4,000
Syrian Americans now in the armv as
police force in the Near Eastern
country.
The plan. Mr.. Kheiralla said was
suggested first by Henry Morgenthau,
former Ambassador to Turkey. MI
khelralla claimed to have had assur-
ances that the Americans of Syrian
extraction in the army are heartily in
favor of the plan, and stated that Sy-
ran american societies were now be-
ginning to bring pressure to bear on
Congress and the War Department in
favor of the scheme.
The army police force would be used
only during the formation and settle
ment of new government in SYRIA u
explained Mr.. Kheiralla. EVERY Syrian
in the army would like to visit the old
country, and they would not find it diff
ficult to police Syria during the period
their presence would be necessary.

Cafe de Paris

Broadway in it's most crowded
hour has had the additional oppor-
tunity which comes annually with
the automobile show and its attend
ing throngs. Probably nowhere in
Broadway has the influx Of automo-
bile show enthusiasts been more
obvious than at the Cafe de Paris,
formerly Rector's, in the centre of
Broadway's restaurant rendezvous.
The vast cabaret with which the
Cafe de Paris inaugurated and made
certain the success of its new man
agement has led to an early reser-
vation of every table in the great
restaurant since the automobile
show opened. In company with the
larger and better known restaurants
of Broadway the palatial Cafe de
Paris has experienced an era of
business unprecedented in the his
tory of the famous location first
famous as Rector's. "Vanity Fair"
the revue de luxe, with its forty
wonderful girls, proved itself a very
potent factor in entertaining the
host of visitors.

against the canteen which properly
should be charged against it, such as
the salaries of the thousands of men
and women canteen workers. it would
be seen that the canteen has been
operated at loss.
"Ihe association has not only oper-
ateds the canteen at a loss, but has
also given away millions of dollars
worth of free supplies in its front line
trench work, or while the men were
going into action or coming out of ac-
tion or under other circumstances of
special strain. Apart from the most
generous provision made by the Red
Cross for soldiers and sailors in tran
sit, know of no agency which has ex-
pended so much money on free supplies.
Tells of Tobacco Deals
"The criticism that the Y NJ G. A.
sold gift tobacco and certain other
gift articles has been explained so
many times to the satisfaction of all
who have looked into the matter that

planation. The New York SUM- which
no one would call a special pleader,
made its own Independent investiga-

exonerated the Y. NJ. c. A
=" -"Complaints have been made with
reference to certain members of the
personnel Of the y. M. C. A., as to
lapses in character, as to inefticiencv.
and as to wrong manners, attitude
and spirit. Wherever such charges
have been made with sufficient def
niteness to make it possible to deal
with them, they have been investigated
promptly and any necessary action has
been taken with equal promptness.
1T is an impressive fact that among
all the criticisms 81 this kind which
have been made in this period of
criticism, charges thus far have been
made against only between thirty and
forty different persons, and all of
these have by no means been sub
