AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members Of the American
Red Cross are those citizens Of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries Of their country
sons and daughters OF the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners of
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division Of the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction Of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the IS
land Of zap, which came under our
flag as a result Of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
3O,SO8 paid up members.
The main object Of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the OPP
portunity to participate In the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
In far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston Of their citizenship. 1t Is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters of
this division IN Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic.
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan. Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua. Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members Of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions In money, and millions
Of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men In service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone to war, and In some re-
gions gave large sums Of money and
Unreasonable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans In trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief in case
of disaster.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
In. the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Cross.

In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare Of

CITY-OWNED FILTER
SYSTEM IS FAVORED
BY MASS. MEETING
Discussion of Water Situation Tues
day Evening Lasted For More
Than Three Hours But Moth
~ ing Is Done: 49,


The court house was filled with To-
cal citizens Tuesday evening called
there by the Mayor to hear representa-
tives of the State Board of Health and
to discuss generally the local water sit
uation. Although there was much dis
cussion of the question, there was
nothing accomplished except that an
expression on three propositions was
obtained from the audience.
Captain C. N. Harru5, detailed by
the U. s. Public Health Service to the
Kentucky State Board of Health, de-
scribed the results of his investiga-
tion of the local water situation and
recommended that nothing but sand
filtration system would give to Mays
Vile safe and satisfactory. water
The Captain then answered various
questions and various local citizens
expressed their views on the situation.
1t seemed to be the opinion of all that
filtration system for Maysville was
to be desired but some though that
this was not the time for the building
of such a plant.
After a general discussion of the
condition, Captain Harrub asked the
audience how many wanted to see
Maysville have a safe and satisfactory
water. Practically everyone in the
court house arose to their feet. He
then asked how many would back the
City Council in entering into a con-
tract with the Maysville Water Com
pany for the installation of a flltra-
ton system. A few arose in answer to
this query but when he asked how
many favored the city, itself, INSTALL
Ting fitration plant If necessary, prac-
tically everyone in the house arose to
! their feet.
Federal Judge A. NJ. J. Cochran and
Captain Horace ]. Cochran suggested
that the city of Maysville could issue
it's bonds at five per cent and build
a filtration plant at quite saving to
| the city over the proposition made by
the Water Company to the City Coun-
Gil. 1t was explained however, that
this would require a vote of the poo
pie and that such an election could not
be called until November.
| Captain Harrub again last night
stated that 1t was his purpose to seek
an injunction against the Maysville
Water Company stopping them from
pumping water into the city's mains II
nothing had been done to give the city
filtration by March 18th.
The mass meeting adjourned with
nothing definite being done.
Mayor Russell has called another
special meeting of City Council at the
Council Chamber this evening at 7
o'clock to again go into the question.
