augurated a service between North Pacific ports, including Portland, and Mediterranean points. The initial ef- forts seems to insure a permanent steamship connection.
 Four other services have been, prac- tically agreed to and the community, through regularly organized channels, is expected to be able to cover them if private agencies do not.
 Applications have been made for two other services which have not been arranged and they may not be realized. Five of the services that are established are by shipping board allocated boats and a portion of the others that are planned will be through the use of such vessels.
 The Japanese were not serving this port by any regular line business but only through occasional tramps. Their first entry with fixed line in here will be with the advent of the T. K. K. about July 1.
 Comparison of Japanese tonnage and American ships doing tramp busi- ness now shows the percentage is much higher with the Japanese yes sells.

SHIPPING FROM TACOMA HOLDS OWN AT LEVEL OF
 DAYS PREVIOuS TO MAE

TACOMA, May 27 (by Associated Press) )-Tacoma, fifth city in the United States in the manufacture of four has more than held it's own in shipping facilities following the shift ing conditions brought about by the ending of the war. Alteration of trade routes to the present time have brought back several foreign shipping lines formerly operating out of Ia coma, but the advent of new Amer ican steamship lines have more than made up for this foreign loss. How ever, in this connection the old lines give promise of an early resumption of service which will give added out lets for the exports of Tacoma to Eu- rope and Oriental ports.
 Unlike some of the coast cities which obtained much of their activity during the war through a boom brought by military necessity and then discovered a cessation of work CG,I this condition did not affect Tacoma. Tacoma had four large wooden ship yards in operation during the war These are now closed, but the one big steel yard which commenced op- erations at that time still has gov ernment contracts on hand and com 0ined with naval construction will be in certain operation for at least two years. It employs 5000 men.
 At the present time this port is connected to the Orient by the Paci- fic Steamship line; the Garland; the Struthers & Dixon, and A. M. Gil lespie & Co.,, while Japanese lines in the trade out of here are the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, the terminus being Tacoma; the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, the Mitsui lines and other vessels en- gagged in a tramp service. The Grace, General Steamship Company and the Campagnie De Boleo give Tacoma a direct service to ports of Mexico, Peru and Chile on the west coast of South America, while the new line in augurated by Swayne & Hoyt will reach to the River Platte on the east coast via the Straits of Magellan. The islands of the Pacific are reached from Tacoma by the Watson line which gives a regular service to Hon. olulu, while the General. Steamship Company will go to Australian ports from Tacoma.
 The Blue Funnel line and the liar risOn line are planning a direct ser vice from Tacoma to Europe. This service, formerly one of the features from Tacoma, was discontinued as the result of the war
 The service now from Tacoma by American vessels is about the same as that of Japanese lines where be- fore the war the trade was handled entirely by Japanese or British bot toms. During the month of April this year four Japanese vessels took cargoes from Tacoma to the Orient and the same number of American ships sailed.
 In connection with the foreign trade from Tacoma, conditions for new business is most optimistic, it is said, New port development here will give better cargo handling faci1- ities. This is attracting old lines as we'll as new where the operators de- sire expeditions handling of cargo

RED CROSS NOTES


When President Wilson, as president
of the American Red Cross, made q
nationwide appeal last year, for
funds to carry on the work Of the ASSOC
citation, he laid stress on the fact that
as soon as the great organization OF
100000 strong souls retire honor
ably from its foreign and relief work.
1t had still heavier obligations wait
ing for It a home-the installing Of
a great peace time program embrac-
ing every phase of public health and
social welfare.
It has cleaned the slate with regard
ish up its war-work-the rehabilita-
ton Of disabled soldiers, the caring
for the wounded and their dependent
families, the adjustment Of the ex-
srvice man to his community.
It has claned the slate with regard
to its foreign responsibilities. 1t has
cared for the sick and under-nourish-
ed in Europe and the Far East; it
has aided war-ravaged countries to
get back on their feet.
Then as these moral obligation
diminished, it turned its vast acti-
vities upon home interests. Disasters
OF peace in 1919 and 1920 proved al
most as calamitous as disasters of war.
Hardly were tents, the cots and bed
ding OF demobilized armies placed in
storehouses that they were hastily
unpacked to give shelter to thousands
made homeless by the series of
floods, fires and tornadoes that
swept the country. With open purses
and unstinted volunteer labor, Red
Cross workers were first on the
| field In every national or community
disaster. When the flu gathered its
heavy tolls, the country-awakened to
/ its unpreparedness in meeting nation
wide epidemics, and health programs
sprang up in almost every community
Workers were sent into the public
health field; thousand of pupils en-
rolled in classes in home hygiene and
care Of the sick, the value Of first aid
was demonstrated in the school, the
factory, the mine; and a know-your
community spirit was born in
districts who before the war and it's
enlightening figures on the health-ol
lack Of health-of the nation, had
been Indifferent to the comnunity'c
social and economic problems.
The results of all this is that to
day in the United States there are
$500 Red Cross Chapters, more thar
