CHINESE RED CROSS
HAS $4,000 MEMBERS

Shanghai, China, Dec % tby maiD !.
The Chinese Red Cross. an organi-
zation that had its inception during
the war between Japan and Russia
lin 1904. when thousands Of Chinese
were left homeless and friendless in
the regions where fighting ragged for
many months. today Is an orgaTiza-
ton with rs, 1000 members. with real
interest in world relief work, as Is
manifested by the entrance OF the
, society In the league of Red Cross
societies. Plans are under way Tor
committee to represent 1t as the
first general council of the league TO
be held at Geneva March 2.
The Red Cross has established itsn'f
in the minds OF the Chinese people
as an organization Of progressiveriess
and enterprise for the relief OF suffer-
ing and to the Red Cross the nation
is indebted for its first and greatest
medical school.
: A considerable sum of money re-
manned unexpended after the activf-
| ties OF 1904 with which, upon decision
of the members OF the general coun-
| ell. ground was purchased near
Shanghai and a large. handsome
building erected as the Chinese Red
| Cross central hospital and medical
college for Chinese students. The
HOSPITAL Is equipped with thN iAISs
modern apparatus and furnishings.
The importance of the medical school
cannot be overestimated in the minds
! If the Chinese. instruction is in Eng
| lish only.
| The first year there were twenty
registrants in the school. Each Of
these received their degree as compe-
tent practitioners. Graduates OF this
school. under the direction of DIR. s.
| NJ. Cox, an American. and by use OF
methods invented by his brother, DR..
] Robert Cox. have done much to al
/ leviate suffering from former severe
Iepidemics. The Chinese people view
results of this work with much graft
| fication.

Make Producers of the Useless
Members" Says Secretary Meredith

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 4.---1n an
swering questions OF newspaper men
today regarding means for reducing
the high cost OF living. Edwin T.
Meredith, the newly installed secre-
tary of agriculture. said that useless
employees. no matter in what line they
may be engaged. must be released
from non productive work and given
an opportunity to become producers
upon the farm or in the factory. II
this is done and Ii jobbers and re-
tailors recognize the harm that must
ultimately come from profiteerfng on
the farmer and content themIelves
with a Reasonable profit, he said, the
question OF the high cost of living
will largely solve itself to the perma-
nent good Of all. But unless the
whole country-all business and all
iabor--aoes recognize this as COM
mon problem and do the things nee
essary to solve it. he continued "less
and less will there be of farm pro-
duce to divide among the Whole pro-
ple and higher and higher Will go the
price of that which is produced"
II am surprised said Mr. Mere
tiith. "that / should have received the
number Of messages ! have, particu-
isrly from daily papers, asking what
plans l, as secretary of agriculture
have to reduce the high cost Of living
indicating that the general feeling II
that this Is essentially an Agricultural
problem. 1t is. of course, related u
agriculture, but no more than l., many
other lines of activity. and / am
| tempted to believe that the solution
OF this problem lies more in the hands

non productive enterprises than II tn

HEALTH EDUCATION IS .
REQ CROSS PROGRAM

Washington. Feb. 4.--Health edu-
cation brought directly before the
people. particularly in the remote
rural regions, will be one OF the sali-
emit features OF the American Red
Cross program for the promotion OF
health and prevention OF disease. In
Zine with this the national organiza-
ton has just appropriated $4,000 as
donation to the American Social
Hygiene Association to aid that or
gan ixa ton in establishing travelling
exhibit on social hygiene.
The object OF the travelling exhibit
Is to demonstrate to the people a con-
structive method of dealing with the
control Of venereal disease as a par;
OF the nation wide health campaign.
II is the belief OF the Red Cross that
donations of this sort will prove one
OF the most effective means by which
the society can cooperate in public
health work.
The first demonstration OF the *
rihit will be held in North Carolina
under the auspices OF the American

REvOlUTION|STS
TAKE VLAD|VOSIOK

Washington, Feb. 3.-Capture of
Vladivostok. the base of the American
expeditionary forces in Russia. by So
cialist rcvoiutionists was confirmed to-
day by the war department.
No fear lis felt here, however, for the
safety OF the 5000 soldiers in Siberia.
The Social revoIutionists are In com
plete charge Of yladivostok and the
city Is quiet. The significance of the
news though, is that for the first time
stree the fall Of the cxar. revolutionists
control practically all of Russia from
tneGerman frontier to the Pacific ocean.
Secretary of War Baker this after
noon made public the following ex-
tract of cablegram from General
Graves. the commander OF the Siberian
expedition:
The revolutionists have Just en-
tered Fladivostok and have charge of
the town. They say that no one will
be moiestsd unless he has committed
crime or offense and then he will be
tried by civil court. They will not try
anybody by military tribunal. Every
thing indicates orderly behaved crowds
The allies are patroiiing the streets
with the object of protecting innocent
people and preventing robbery. The
platform Of the revoiutionists is to
stop Civil war and non-interference
with their internal affairs by foreign
ers.

Cheaper Distribution.

Cheaper DlMrfDuftOn.
Attention must be given by pubic
spirited citizens to the methods which
tend to quicken and cheaper di<tribu-
ton of farm products. such as better
terminal facilities. easter transfers. in
land water transportation. ba,k haul
ing And round about routes eliminate
ed We must all interest ourselves in
helping solve the problems OF the
farmer and furnish him facilities that
win help him in his business, While
such facilities must be furnished. we
find, on the contrary there is nov
being made an assault on the farm
loan bank, which gives the farmer
money on favorable terms, without
commissions. with bout renewssl
charges. finances him to carry on tbs
fundamental activity OF our country
gives him long time that he may piar
ahead where necessary. The assault
is made by selfish interests. and their
success would. in my judgment, hA q
blow to agriculture in America and
result in ultimate harm to all inter
ests. But how many business men II
America have recognized this as tbeil
problem. or interested themselves IL
the farmers behalf? Very few. and
must--interest themselves in this and
other problems affecting thr farmer
or they will feel the reaction.
