PRISON IN ELMIRA
SHOCKS GOVERNOR
Urges Fair Wages Before As

Gov. Smith told delegates and menu
bers of the American Prison Asso-

the Hotel Pennsylvania yesterday,
that the State prisons and reforma-
tories were not up to the mark and
that on recent visit to Elmira, which
is supposed to be an institution for first
offenders, he was shocked" The con-
gress, which will be in session all this
week, is being attended by wardens. cor
rectional workers, clergy and criminolo-
gists from all parts of the country.
George w. Wickersham presided at the
session at which the Governor spoke.
Gov. Smith said he did not think tho

final say in determining whether a con-

and the proper way to adjust 1t is to
submit a constitutional amendment to
the people putting such power in the
hands of the Court of Appeals"
The Governor said he was heartily in
favor Of the plan of having prisoners
work within the prisons, and also stated
they should receive a fair wage for their
industry. He laid greas<9sp.s on the
unfortunate plight of the families of men
who had to serve prison terms, and said
that through the installation of ma

inmates do profitable work and pay them
in return.

Representatives of the Red Cross be-
gan work in the Balkan States as early
as the winter of 1sl4-15, although the
aid did not reach large proportions until
the summer OF 1917. In Serbia, Ru-
mania, Montenegro and Albania condl-
tions indescribably terrible were encoun-
tered and dealt with, starvation and
disease being the principal enemies Of
the agents of mercy. Pneumonia, chol-
era and typhus were rampant and the
medical aid required was enormous. All

Fight on White Plague.

One OF the accomplishments upon
which the organization looks with great
est pride was the battle made against
tuberculosis and the fight was SO sue

Italy alone. and more than Sll 900, 900

work was done. the Red Cross aiding
more than sixty relief organizations In
every possible way, even maintaining
rinemas at the front by which 5000 SOL
diers were entertained daily Hospitals,
canteens and rest houses, libraries
shcools and farms, the manufacture and
distribution OF artificial limbs, gifts of
musical instruments, the care of children,
the relief of families-all these were de-
tails OF the relief work accomplished in
the tiny nation which held back the first
great German advance until France had
time TO take the shock.
In Italy the work commenced in No
yember.~ 1917. during the great offensive.
when the need for moral and material
assistance from America was urgent In
the following months the Red Cross
spread its activities over l41 towns and
over thousands OF small villages from
the Alps to the island OF Sicily. AS a
result Of the 1917 offensive the Italian
army lost 100 hospitals and two main
field magazines OF medical supplies and
this loss was largely made up by the

the passage of laws in many western

nIcipal irrigation districts that issue tax
exempted bonds for public irrigation
projects. These bonds become obliga-
tons of assessment districts and, he
said, are safe and profitable investments.
Othor delegates, however, warned in
vestors to examine carefully all projects
to be financedsby bond issues to be paid
by assessments. 1t was pointed out
that in some districts the collection of
the assessments was not enforced be-
cause OF political reasons.

the same period in 191s-1g.
The committee urged a plan to help
bring about prompt payment OF inter-
est and principal by communities slow
in forwarding funds. A form letter and
later follow up letter to each COM
munity which has not paid its interest
or principal promptly were advocated.
Such letters should be mailed to the
local depository and, as far as feasible,
TO the banks and leading merchants
within the district or municipality. The
letter should state, the recommendation
said, that unless the matter is remedied
the credit of the issuing community will
be impaired.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20 - In twenty
months up to March 1, 1919, the Ameri-
can Red Gross spent 5000, 900 to re-
lieve the necessities of the French peo-
Pile, soldiers and civilians. The third
instalment OF the complete report OF
the activities of the Red Cross, issued
yesterday by Henry p. Dawson, who
was the directing head of the most eff
fective relief organization in the whole
history of the world, contains this fact.
1t is limited in the report that the sum,
perhaps, does not quite cover the finan-
cial scope OF the tremendous assistance
given to France in her years of distress.
since the Red Cross was too rushed with
work to keep complete statistics. Per-
haps s1Oo.0O0,00O would more nearly
represent the true sum devoted to the
help of France.
The American Red Cross supply SER
vice for French hospitals extended to
also institutions Millions of ,indispen-
sable articles. of hundreds of different
kinds, were distributed. Supplementing
this magnificent contribution was the
relief of French mutiles, for it is esti-
mated that $4,000 of the 100000 French
soldiers crippled in war were rescued
by the organization.
Millions of refugees evacuated from
their homes by the German advances
presented for the French Government a
task of aid SO enormous that il called
on the American Red Cross for assis-
lance, and that organization, overcoming
almost insuperable difficulties, directly
assisted 1,726,S54 refugees with food
clothing. shelter and medical aid. After
three years OF war the families Of many
thousands of French soldiers were in the
direst need, a condition reacting on the
morale oeNe!.e> French tFeeps---and in
this crisis the Red Cross again stepped
to the front and aided S7,652 families
With this went welfare work for the
children, since France, harassed by war
could not give as much attention TO heI
little folk as was essential. The main
task was to cope with under feeding
under nourishment and lack of medica
care Part of the task was accom-
plshed through French agencies and
part directly by the American Rec
Cross.
