On Peace Basis

The various governments of the
world have plans for carrying out
the relief work among the peoples
effected by the war. It is necessary
that the American Red Cross comply
with these plans and work in con-
junction with the different govern
ments.
Up to November 80, 1918, the coun-
ty chapters bought their own mate
rials and supplies and paid for them
with the money which they raised To-
cally by any means they chose. It
was very difficult many times to fin
ance the work when everybody was
doing something toward turning out
Red Cross supplies. Since Nov. 80
the national American Red Cross Of
ficials have decided to supply the
chapters with all materials needed
free Of charge. The majority Of the
work in the immediate future will
be for home service and foreign re-
lief. With this change it will not be
necessary for the chapters and
branches to raise much money ex-
cept for annual memberships unless
the money on hand at present is not
sufficient to give the amount Of for
eign relief which we must give.
The division managers have asked
all branches and chapters to deter
mine about how much money they
will need to carry on the local Red
Cross work and to turn in the remain
der to the division headquarters to
be used IN purchasing the needed
upplies and to provide whatever a.

CORPORAL PARKER GASSED-HA|
RETURNED HOME

Corporal Ralph S. Parker returned
Friday afternoon from four and one
half months overseas service in France.
Corporal Parker still is affected by gas
poisoning which he sustained while in
action on Nov. 6 in the Chateau Thierry
district.
Parker left this city with a draft
contingent on Aug. 9 for Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo-, where he was assigned to the
3Sth company Of the Ninth division.
After a short stay here Parker was sent
to Camp Macarthur, Texas, where he un-
derwent a three weeks training .'before
being entrained for Camp Merit, n.
j., where he was given a three days
rest before being put on board a trans
port for France. His transport docked
at Brest, France.
A short period of inaction was enjoy
ed at Brest before being ordered to the
front. First orders stated that the 9th
was to be sent to Argonne forest. Lat
er the order was changed to the Chateau
Thierry district, where Parker saw ten
days. action before being gassed.
The gas Parker inhaled was chloride
gas,zthe deadliest the Germans used
This>gas is practically colorless and does
not rise more than six inches from the
ground unless stirred up. It was the
idea Of the Germans in sending forth
this gas, to catch the Allied soldiers
when they fell to the ground in dodg'
ing when a shrapnel burst near them
It was, in this way that Parker was
gassed.
He was picked up by the Red Gross
and sent to Base hospital 81 at -Blais
where he stayed two weeks. At the
end of that time he was sufficiently re
covered to be allowed to return to the
United States. He arrived at Camp
Merit, N. j., on Nov. 81 and on Dec
% was sent to Camp Dodge, Ia, to he
mustered out Of the service. He was
discharged on Jan. Is.

RESIDENCE BURNED.

Wednesday night about 1850 the fire
truck was called out to extinguish a
fire in the residence Of Joe Slaby on
Seventh street and First avenue S.W.
The fire had gained such proportion
that the chemical hose from the truck
was Of no avail. The Slaby residence
was too far from the water main which
runs out Broadway west so that a line
could not be laid to aid in extinguish-
ing the fire.
Mr.. Slaby carried $1,000 insurance
on his residence and furniture.
