would not take them, since the time
taken to tan such hides is much longer
than usual. The fact that tanners have
purchased large quantities Of poor
hides has led dealers to believe that
when the better grades of skins ap-
pear on the market purchases will be
in good volume.
The market for calf skins was quiet
yesterday, although prices remained
firm. City slaughter, 8 to 12 pounds,
were quoted at $1,000 to $11, repre-

To Honor the Seventy.ninth

To hc EdHor Of the Ercning PWblic Ledger:
Sir-That long looked for day is over.
Yesterday those war Scared >rctCrans or the
Twenty eighth paraded-and | think as
Philadclphans We can be justly proud of the
reception rendered them ani, which they so
highly deserved.
And even while We were SO wildly cheer
ing those boys of the Iron Division came the
only note needed to make that happiness
complete and that was that tho vanguard OF
the Seventy ninth Division was at that very
moment homeward bound The Twenty
eighth is Pennsylvania own. but the SeV-
cuty ninth is Philadelphia own. Every boy
of the 3lJth Infantry is a Philadelphlan.
So it's up to us to show them just how much
their home city appreciates the grim task
they went through. the battles they fought
the battles they won. Up they went right
through the Argonnc Forest carrying our
Stars and Stripes into Germany.
So bring the Philadelphia boys straight
home to Philadelphia. Let the transports
bring them right up the Delaware and then
let's give them such reception they II never
forget how Philadelphia welcomed them
home from foreign land. Every time we
do a thing it's just little better than the
last-and so if it could be possible to show
more spirit. more enthusiasm than ever. then
lets do it. Nothing is too good for these
boys. There isn't a thing they don't deserve.
Remember. Philadelphia. there are some You
never can welcome home-Some you'll never
greet again. They re lying meath the wood
en- crosses over thcre--and so it's up to you
to repay their comrades who are coming
home.
Give them a parade. turn out in thousands
and tens of thousands: let your cheers ring
long and loud for Philadelphia own is
marching down the street.

RED CROSS WILL SEEK
FUNDS TO COMPLETE
ITS POST WAR WORK
Drive in November Will Aid Suffer-
ing Thousands in Eastern
Europe

The American Red Cross will appeal to the
nation next November for luuds with Whlch
TO carry on the post war relief work OF the
OrganiHat ton according 70 ann"In'cm'nt
made today by DR.. Livingstone farrnnd;
chairman Of the central committee. 1h" ltrd
Cross has made no appeal for funds since the
spriug of 1918 other than its annual Christ
mas membership drives.
"Appaling conditions in the countries of
eastern Europe. imposing on tho American
Red Cross obligations additional to those
assumed during the period of tho world war,
and tho continuance of activities in COnuCc-
tiOn with the already outlined domestic pro-
gram of the Red Cross. make necessary an
appeal to the people of America for further
funds to carry on the work for the relief of
humanity Doctor Farrand said in cXplana
ton of the proposed campaign.
1T has been decided to make this appeal in
the autumn. in n period of two weeks cumi
mating on the 11th of November. the ami
vcrsary Of the signing of the armiSticc-a
season when the American people may prop
erly give manifestation. through rontribu
tions to their Red Cross. of their thankful
ness for dcvcranrp from added horrors of
war which have fallen upon nations less
fortunate.
AT present the American Red Cross is
bringing to close its activities in the Coun
tries of western Europe. and with the with
drawal of American troops from the war zone
its work for the army abroad will end auto
matcaly. Disease and suffering. however,
arc calling for relief in other fields. The
new international organization of Rcd Cross
societies is preparing to deal with relief and
health problems throughout the world in
future wars. but there are immediate cmer-
genciCS which require the aid of the agenricS
already established. Foremost among these
agencies is the American Rcd Cross. Al
present emergencies are being met with all
the resources available. but it is apparent
that the imperative calls for assistance for
the next year will make additional funds
necessary.
1T is anticipated that the generous heart
of the American people will respond to the
appeal TO the full extent of the needs that
will present themselves

Good Uses for German Warships

10 the Editor of the Euening Public Ledger:
Sir-Give us an editorial on the possibility
of utilizing the German navy-in place of
sinking it. Use it to replace the United
States torpedoboats now doing duty to guide
the airplanes over the Atlantic. Strip them
of their guns and keep them at a certain
anchorage as fuel tanks for airplanes- also
as permanent lighthouses across the OCEAN
and possible rescue stations in case of boats
in trouble.
