RED CROSS HONORS
POLICEMAN-SOLDIER
Corporal Upton Praised in
Letter to Enright.

Corporal Frank Upton. who obtained
a leave Of absence from the police force
to serve with the 115th Engineers, Is
highly commended in a letter received by
Commissioner Enright yesterday from r.
A. Stewart, acting commissioner OF the
American Red Cross at Bern, Switzer-
land. for the manner In which he aided
In distributing food to American prison
ers at Rastatt and Tuchel. West Prussia.
Corporal Upton was captured and con-
fined excessively In both camps. The
letter says:
Corporal Upton, together with
Sergeant HalybuIton, formed a camp
health committee at Tuchel which
rendered the American Red Cross in
valuable service. Order and disci-
pllne were made possible through their
efforts, and what promised to be a
prison camp under most frtghtful
conditions, became bearable for the
American prisoners through their ef-
forts.
During midsummer last year they
were transferred from Tuchel to Ras-
TAFT. which latter place the Germans
made n concentration camp for pri-
Yates and non-commissioned officers
OF the American Army who were
prisoners in Germany. As the men
Were concentrated IN tnlS camp 10 tne
number OF several thousand the mat
ter of feeding and clothing them by
individual parcels became impossible.
and II was necessary to ship supplies
in carload lots
This necessitated an organization
and preservation OF the food, and a
proper system of distribution to the
men. Again Corporal Upton became
one Of the leaders and the order and
discipline which were maintained by
him and his fellow workers became a
model for all allied nationalitles In
prison camps throughout Germany.
The work this man did for his fellow
prisoners Is beyond any estimation.
particularly when ono understan ds
the great danger OF lowered morale
among men confined and hungry.
I'VE feel that II Is very fitting that
those in command OF the force OF
which Corporal Upton was formerly
member should know that in his b.
sence his conduct has borne out the
traditions of the force"
Corporal Upton has been a member o
the force for fifteen years. HIS wifi
and four children live at 252 Yves
Twenty-second street. He was attache,
to the East Thirty-hf street station.

SAYS VOTE SHOWED
PEOPLE BACK PACT
Democratic Victor in Pennsyl-
vania Election Favors
Wilson League.

PiTrsBURG. March 6.--Victor in what
his friends call "the first vote by the
people anywhere In the world on the
League OF Nations" John Wilson, Demo-
cratic Representative-elect from the
Twenty-second Pennsylvania, or Butler
Westmoreland Congressional district, to-
night at his home in Butler, Pa. where
he is borough solicitor. stopped reading
the flow of congratulations pouring in
upon him long enough TO issue the fol-
lowing statement:
There isn't doubt in the world that
the voters Of Butler and westmorcland
counties showed their sentiment on the
League Of Nations when they elected me
to Congress-
MY views on the question were
known; my literature explained that
Was heartily In favor of the proposition
and behind the President. Therefore
think Il shows the real sentiment. for
had the voters not been in favor of II
they would have opposed me and voted
for my opponent.
There were other questions which en-
tered into the fight too. principally the
labor question. Inc labor vote was I'M
douhtedly pretty hostile to Mr.. Jamison.
my campaign was based on the fact
that I intended to support the Presiden.
and his plans for the League OF Nations.
I advertised this fact broadly. especially
in Westmoreland county. where the vot-
ers are largely from industrial lines. In
Butler county II was well known fact
that I was behind the President and his
objects, so II the people had not been In
the same mood ! think Mr.. Jamison
would have been elected.
I'm working out our great interna-
tional Obligations and performing our
moral duties to the nations of the world
and guaranteeing the peace of the world
! am heartily in favor OF any plan of a
League of Nations which will do this
thing without surrendering any essential
rights of our own nation. and l believe
that the plan OF the League of Nations
now in process of construction under the
leadership OF President Wilson and for
mer President Taft Is a great plan and
moves in the direction of guaranteeing
to the people of the world the abolition
of war and broader fraternal feeling"
