RED CROSS BRINGS AID TO
 RUSSIANS IN GERMAN PRISONS

It is peculiarly the role of friend of the friendless' that the American Red Cross is filling when it sends into Germany just at this time a mission to alleviate the sufferings of about 800000 Russian prisoners of war; the remnant of 100000, roughly estimat- ed, who have been held under ex- tremely wretched conditions since the beginning of the world war. Openly discriminated against from the first among prisoners of war by the Ger man military authorities, the Russians have never received packages from home or other outside succor as have British and French prisoners, al though the lot even of these was ab- ject misery. The disruption of trans portation and generally disorganized brought to a full stop any practical effort to repatriate their own men. Read these extracts from miscel- laneous reports to the Red Cross on Russian prisoners in German and Aus trian camps:
 "The Russian prisoners receive no parcels. These poor fellows suffer |from chronic hunger. They willingly ate the kippered herrings and gath cred up all the refuse they could find"
 "At Koenigsmur my informant has seen Russians pick herring heads out of the refuse and eat them; devour bread which had arrived from France mildewed and sour, and peelings of potatoes in garbage barrels which had been especially fitted with funnel shaped lids to prevent the Russians from burrowing in them. The Rus sians, however, had resource to vari- ous tricks; they overturned the bar rels or fished out the peelings with sticks He saw one Russian forced to whip comrade strapped to a bench because he had stolen peelings." /"
 Here is another:
 Credit must be given to the Eng fish and French prisoners who volun- tarily give their German food to the Russians (when they can spare it, due to the receipt of parcels from out
The Cordova daily times., 1919-04-02

| side). They, the Russians, jump through barb wire fences to beat each other to the food, tearing their clothes and exposing their bodies to the wind"
 This from Russian investigator to the bureau of prisoners of war of the international committee of the Red Cross, Geneva, Switzerland, quoting an appeal of 198 repatriated invalid Russian prisoners:
 "The slavery of the white race by these cultured savages of the twen- tieth century is frightful universal calamity. These savages are destroy ing man with systematic brutality" And this:
 These last (the Russians) are get ting very little food from outside, and as little clothing, and so they die a great deal faster than the French or British have died. one of the Euro pean branches of the Russian Red Cross wrote letter expressing the hope that the United States can ex- port food to be sent to Russian prison CTS of war, and it notes tuberculosis as the cause of three-fourths of the deaths reported from German and Austrian camps. That means under feeding, of course, and bad' housing and not clothes enough to keep them warm in winter" ....
 The Russian delegate in Switzer- land, Dr. S. Bagotsky, after making a detailed study of the situation of our prisoners" in Germany, goes on:
 "I will limit myself to saying only that the truth surpasses my very worst expectation, for which I was prepared by four years of service on the Moscow committee (of the Rus sian Red Cross) where millions of letters to and from prisoners were received. The majority of Russians in Germany were extremely emaci- ated and exhausted by the hard labor and insufficient nourishment. Nearly all were menaced by mental maladies. The extraordinary conditions of their captivity of several years was telling on their minds to such an extent that, unless their situation is changed with in few months, those who are alive may not return to Russia sane"
 The decision of the American Red Cross to send a mission into Germany to cooperate with the inter-allied com mission for the feeding, care and repatriation of Russian prisoners of war in Germany" followed an urgent request from General Pershing that this be done. The American Red Cross commission for Europe, with head quarters in Paris, has selected Major Carl Taylor, U. s. A., who has been released from the army for this pur- pose, to head the mission which will have an organization of about thirty five men.
 In addition to medical, surgical, clothing and convalescent food sup plies, the American Red Cross will
The Cordova daily times., 1919-04-02

furnish hospital equipment and doc tors. The American Red Cross will have the largest representation of any of the auxiliary relief organizations cooperating with the inter-allied con- mission in Berlin.
 From far-away America, and other foreign lands, the long isolated and wretched Russian prisoners in Ger many will at last receive relief from an oppression that is one of the black est chapters of the great war.

TRIBUTES FOR RED CROSS
 FROM DAVIS AND SIMS


 LONDON, March 1 (by cable).- Warm tributes to the work of the American Red Cross in the war were paid at the annual smoker of the American Navy league by Ambassa- dor John w. Davis and Admiral Sims, the principal speakers. After praising the American navy Ambassador Davis said;
 But it is impossible to say anything about the work either of the army or navy without mentioning the Red Cross. 1t is hard to say too much about the wonderful work of the Red We at home have been in the habit of saying that the Red Cross is the American people. That is the position it has held in the work of the army and navy over here as the representa- tive of everybody at home. When the history of the war comes to be written there will be no more important, in- spring chapter than that which deals with the work of the Red Cross"
 Cooperation of the American Red Cross with the American navy, par ticularly during the war, left nothing to be desired said Admiral Sims. "The navy was a long way from home," he continued. Tt therefore afforded a sense of great satisfaction to know that always, in case of emergency of any description, l could count upon instant assistance and support, finan- cially or otherwise, from the Red Cross for the mere asking and without the necessity for explanations. The Red Cross represents generosity and the altruism of the American people and their feeling toward their boys over here and their allies"
The Cordova daily times., 1919-04-02

makes every Red Cross worker feel that the job was worth while.

All over that immense waste of ter ritory known as the devasted and lib- erated areas, they can be found today living in dugouts that served as shell shelters for the contending armies, in rudely constructed shacks, and dark cellars. Why do they stay? Because it's the only place they call home.
