tional tuberculosis Association and
200 affiliated state, county and To-
al public health. organizations, it
is emphasized in a special announce
ment made here today by Chairman
C. J. Johnson, of the Cook County

ut has become necessary to in
form the public again that Christ

ever with the American Red Cross, u
said Chairman Johnson. "Dollars in
vested in health through the pur-
chase of Christmas seals-or Health
Bonds which are the equivalent of
Seals-do not go to the American
Red Cross.
"For seventeen years Christmas
Seals have financed the fight against
tuberculosis and that is what they
are doing again this year. Christ
mas Seals now are tuberculosis
Christmas Seals. The official en-
blem of the American Red Cross,
formerly used on the Christmas
Seal, has been replaced by the scar
let Double Barred Cross.'

DAMAGE $1o,0o0,OOo.
Flames Follow Shooting From Ambush
of a Military Party-Destruction
Held CostIiest Since Reprisals
Began In Ireland.

Dublin-Several large sections of
Cork were devastated by fire Saturday
night and Sunday. The confagration
followed an ambush of the military at
Pilions Cross, in which four persons
were killed and many wounded. Three
civilians were taken from their houses
and shot dead after the ambush of the
military. Then *.le fires started. There
were bomb explosions and firing also
was heard.
The populace is panic stricken.
On the south bank of the River Lee
the Carnegie library, & the Corn Ex-
change and other buildings were razed
by the fire, while in the territory be-
tween the northern and southern
branches of the river much havoc was
wrought by flames in the business Sec
tion
It was reported that the fire was un-
der control, but it was said that the
damage done by the flames was es-
timated at between 100000 and
100000 pounds sterling.
Several blocks of buildings in the
heart of the business district of Cork
were destroyed during the hight, con-
stituting the costliest destruction of
property since the reprisals began in
Ireland.
A group of public buildings on AL
bert Quay, including the city hall, the
Carnegie, library and portion of the
Corn Exchange also were burned, as
we'll as private residences in various
parts of the city,
The fires extended to St. Patrick's S
street from Cook street to Maylor
street and swept entire rows-o of baild-
fngs on both sides of Winthrop street,
leading from St. Patrick's street to
Old Georges street.
Cadets March Through Streets.
1t was reported from Cork that new
ly arrived parties of auxiliary cadets
marched through the streets holding
up and searching pedestrians and firing
into the air, following the ambush of
auxiliaries within half a mile of the
barracks, IL of them being wounded by
bomb thrown from lorry.
Between Z and o'clock a period of
intense quiet fell on the city, but near
9 o'clock uniformed men began to dis
play great activity in various parts Of
Cork. At some points train cars were
held up and passengers taken out It
was reported that a number were
beaten and others placed against the
wall and closely questioned, but were
finally allowed to proceed.
It is not improbable that lives have
been lost in the fires. Already several
persons connected with the destroyed
houses and business premises are re-
ported missing.
