French Sacrifice

Six millions of French sons have

lives and prevented thousands Of sur

sells this remedy under the name Of

THE RED CROSS in
EASTERN SIBERIA
Is Caring For Nearly 25O0 Refugees
In Its Great Relief Department
Work.
Associated Press

VLADIV0STOK, Feb. l9-The Am
erican Red Cross in Eastern Siberia
through its refugee relief department,
is caring for nearly $500 refugees.
Half of these are handled directly
through a distribution center in Vlsdi-
vostok. There are 400 in barracks at
First River, in the edge of the city.
Further on, at Second River, are 300
Arbenians in barrack by them
selves. Most of these refugees are
receiving food and clothing; there are
certain number who are self-sup-
porting and only require lodgings.
A plan is being worked out to send
the Armenians to Port Said on Jap
anese steamer. Efforts are also being
made to find transportation for APO
Serbians. Occupation has been found
for a large number of destitute per-
sons. An employment bureau has
been established and it is probable
that soon places can be found for all
those who wish to work. The Cana.
dian military organization has asked
the Red Cross to man a steam laun-
dry for the Canadian troops. Like.
wise the American army has made
plans for a service laundry at the
base here which will furnish employ
ment for number Of laundresses
Bishop H. st. George Tucker, who
recently returned from Western 81
IBERIA where he went in the interests
of the Red Cross, reported that there
were some $500 persons there, legi-
innate objects for the Red Cross as
sistance, in need of immediate help.
In this number figure a group of Pc
trograd children. Many hundreds of
these were sent to Siberia for safety
at time when the Bolshevik out
RACES were beginning. They were
found in seven different cities, un-
provided for and in great need.
Clothing is being provided for them
from stocks in Viadivostok and they
are receiving attention.
In Omsk, Novonikolaevsk and Chel-
iabinsk, here typhVsslas made consid-
cradle headway, the Red Cross is
working in conjunction with the Rus
SLAMS to give medical aid. Relief train
No. has left for the west carrying
medical supplies and clothing. The
last relief train sent from here, in
charge of the Japanese Red Cross
unit, reached Omsk about a month
after leaving Vladivostok.

G. n. Pollock Fined
On Whiskey Charge

c. N. Pollock who was arrested
near this city several weeks ago on
charge of bringing 300 quarts of
whiskey into this county on gaso-
line launch, was tried before Judge
R. II. Hicks yesterday and was given
a fine of $100 and costs. He paid his
fine and was released from Jail this
morning.
Pollock was arrested shortly after
he had anchored the launch near the
Buckeye and together with his part
ner was unloading a cargo Of whis-
key. The man who had bought the
whiskey to be brought to this city to
be sold, made his escape. Pollock de-
clared he was merely hired to make
the trip to Greenwood. The 300 quarts
of whiskey was captured by the sher-
ifs force and the gasoline launch
was seized. Suit has been entered
by the county for the confiscation Of
the boat. which is valued at $400.
Pollock's wife appeared at the trial
here and stated the boat belonged to
her and exhibited receipt showing
that she had paid for it. This fact
will not alter the county's suit as
confiscation will be made upon the
grounds that the boat was being used
for bringing whiskey into this terri
tory.

COMMENDS THE Y. W. c. A.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. Is, 1919.
Mrs. Robt Somerville, Chairman,
GreenvilIe, Miss
My Dear Mrs. Somerville; | have
learned with the greatest interest Of
the plans of the Y. W. C. A, to con-
duct during the present month a cam
paign for the development and extcn-
sion of the work of the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association in Mssis-
sippi, as well as throughout the
country at large. During the five
years in which ! have been engaged
in the work of the Y NJ. c. A. in Mis-
sissippi, | have felt the keenest need
of this agency for work among the
girls of the state, if for no other rea-
ron than to supplement our work
among the boys and men.
There is abroad in the land a wide
spread but thoroughly mistaken idea
to the effect that while work for boys
and men is highly necessary, a sim
liar effort among girls is not neces-
sary. We find quite the reverse TO
be the case. In more than one IN
stance where we were established and
nut in operation an organization
among the boys Of an agricultural
hing school we have come to realize
ibv having the matter brought to our
attention by teachers, both men and
women, that the lack Of similar
agency among the girls has made 1t
impossible TO get the best results
from our boys organization.
This prompts me to say to you tha'
as an organization the State Y, NJ G.
A. of Mississippi not only wishes you
the completest success in this enter
prise. but stands ready to assist II
every possible mrnner. ] am partic
ularly interested because there has
been recently assigned to the WORK Of
the Y. w. c, A, in this state Mis-
Anna Astroth, an efficient secretary
who is giving all of her time to tn
promotion Of this work among thi
girls and women Of Mississippi
With the assurance Of the contlnu
ance Of my profound regard, | beg Il
remain, Yours sincerely,

posed at the New Orleans Conference.
Practically all of the delegates in
Leflore who went to the New Orleans
