Red Gross Notes

arts, Jan. 21.-Starting with a dis
tribution of 300 magazines in October,
1917, the circulation of reading matter
by the American Red Cross among the
soldiers Of France has risen to enor-
nous totals. During November, 1918
q report by the Recreation and Wei
fare bureau Of the army and navy de-
partment reveals more than 100000
daily and 100000 weekly newspapers,
and 100000 magazines were distribut-
ed to the various army camps and hos
pitfalls. In this connection it is empha-
sized that the signing of the armistice
has appreciably increased the demand
for news from the United States
among the soldiers.
Magazines and newspapers are now
distributed at more than 400 points,
reaching virtually every branch Of the
military forces, including all Of the
hospitals and the army of occupation
that is holding the Rhine. The dis
tribution is carried out on a regular
schedule and by every conceivable
means, many periodicals having been
dropped from airplanes to units on the
battle front when. hostilities were in
progress. In many instances the mag
azines and newspapers provided by
the Red Cross proved the only read
ing available for the soldiers in iso-
lated places. and their appreciation
has been expressed in numerous let
tiers.
"We wish to express our apprecia-
ton of your service and can assure
you that every magazine and news
paper that reaches us is read over by
one man after another until it almost
falls apart" wrote one division. CON-
mander. A hospital head wrote: II
want to say that perhaps you do not
realize what pleasure the patients as
well as the personnel take in the maya
zines, and for them I thank YOU"
Detailed figures for November are
not available but those for October
give an excellent idea of the scope of
this work. In October 382,3S1 news
papers and 116,207 magazines were
distributed in So base hospitals, while
more than $4,000 newspapers and 49,
532 magazines were placed in GA
camp hospitals. Twenty four Ameri-
can Red Cross hospitals and homes re-
ceived $1,000 newspapers and over g.
900 magazines, and ten evacuation
and field hospitals received 179,O OO
newspapers and over 5000 magazines

selves, are extremely temperamenta,
We are easily affected by unfound-
ed rumors and predictions, invaria-
bly, doing the very opposite in regard
to a motor car from that which we
would consider sound business in
any other matter.
For instance, in the past we have
been cautioned by self-styled ex-
perts that the motor industry was
reaching the point of saturation, and
later, with the great war cloud over
head, came the cry of the alarmist
that the industry was about to
crumble. Unfortunately, both of
these groundless beliefs gained an
ear before they eventually disappear
ed as foolishly as their authors.
ut takes but little reflection to
understand why there can be no
thought of a universal cut in prices
for some time to come. The first
reason is because it is estimated
there will be a shortage of 100000
cars in the 1919 output; as quantity
production is the only thing in the
world that can make any merchan-
disc sell for less, it is easy to see
why the automobile prices for the
immediate future must stay up.
Other Reasons.
"The other reason embraces many
obvious considerations. Take the
matter of living expense; it is true
that with the coming of peace food
stuffs are more easily acquired, but
for the immediate future, until the
markets and transportation are re-
adjusted, there can be no relief from
the conditions that existed during
the war period.
"Hostilities have been at an end
for over three months, and yet there
remains still in Europe an Ameri-
can army as large as the population
of Detroit. Things cannot be put in
their places as easily and swiftly as
they were removed. Soldiers can
not be rushed from Chateau Thierry
and demobilized in San Francisco
overnight; foodstuffs, although more
abundant, cannot be harvested and
distributed ahead of schedule; nor
can automobile factories dispose of
government obligations in 80 days
time"

GENERAL TIEUP

New York, March IA complete
tieup of New York City's subway,
elevated and surface car lines, as
we'll as paralysis of its harbor ship
ping, is Threatened by the strike of
harbor workers which has been in
progress more than a week, it was
asserted today.
Frank Hedley, general manager OF
the marlborough Rapid Transit and
allied lines, declared that unless coal
barges are moved at once a shut
down of transportation on Manhat-
tan island will result. Freight is
piling up at piers and the move
men of transatlantic and coastwise
shipping has been demoralized.
Appeals to Washington described
the situation as critical" and called
for intervention by the commander
ing>of the tug boats. The Wholesale
Coal Dealers association telegraphed
Secretary of War Baker yesterday,
petitioning him to seize enough
equipment to coal troops ships tied
up here.
While these appeals were going
forward the situation was further
complicated by announcement by
Matthew McConville, head of the
Hosting Engineers union, that his
organization would support the
strikers if coal barges were manned
by non-union labor.
A statement by the Longshore-
mems association said that unless the
federal government intervenes il
will be impossible to load a vessel
in New York harbor.
All efforts toward a settlement
of the strike were suspended today
pending return of James L. Hughes,
federal mediator.
The Boat Owners association de-
clared it would not meet the strikers
through their union leaders and the
marine workers utilization fatty re-
fused the employers suggestion for
a joint conciliation committee to
