France to Give u. S.
Army Supplies to Aid
Starving Russians

Paris, Aug. 6.-France's contribu-
ton to the Russian famine relief will
consist largely of the huge stocks
purchased from the American army,
which include thousands of tons Of
canned goods such as corned beef,
corn, tomatoes, fruits, beans and
butter and every conceivable form
of preserved foodstuffs.
Owing to the difference in French

rain. Red Cross supplies of medi-
cines and surgical instruments for
fighting disease will be sent to Rus

And with the Highlanders need

to the plate and let in two Boston
