Party Leaves New York
Goodrich
Accompanies
Haskell.

MOSCOW, Sept. 3.-The feeding of
Russian children assembled from the fam
ine-stricken areas started by the
first group of American relief workers
here today.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Calm. confident
and unafraid of the gigantic task Of
Russian relief that confronts him, Col.
William n Haskell. director of Russian
relief of the American Relief Commis-
sion, in a farewell interview today en-
phasized the absolute independence and
disinteres tedness of the work TO be done
under his directions. Colonel Haskell
and a party of fifteen experienced relief
workers sailed on the Olympic
"Mr. Hoover said the service we are
able to perform must he in the true
spirit of charity" said Colonel Haskell.
There must be no discrimination. If a
man among US fails 10 live up to this
standard, I'll send him home"
Are you going to take orders from
the League of Nations relief officials %
ne was asked
Colonel Haskell's blue eyes blazed.
Il take my orders from Mr.. Hoover
only" he replied.
Il think most American organizations
will prefer to cooperate by giving their
material support and leaving the dis
tribution to u.s. he added. The Amer
lean Red Cross is financing the medical
side Of our work, right up to the Rus
sian ports of entry"
The bulk Of relief work is to be done
IN the Yolga basin, and there Colonel
Haskell anticipated his greatest diff
ficulties."
Il can see all sorts of difficulties" he
said soberly. Bad roads, run down rail
roads, winter weather and half
starved population.
But, we'll make it go''-this with a
smile. I'VE will make the Russians work
for all they're worth and it's surprising
how many freight trains you can run,

After 81 years Of the hardshfps OF
civil life he entered naval life as a
midshipman. His first ship was the
frigate United States on which he
served In the French war and learned
how to dodge cannon balls and scurvy.

SMOKERS


EOR genuine resourcefulness and
4 initiative the American bluejaclet
has no equal the world over. Give him
half chance, the skinniest hint of an
idea, and you'll get more action than
two-tailed comet.
Smokers prove 1t. The fleet has
them Saturday nights now and then.
They're like stag parties ashore in a
way. But think Of thousand stays
and half thousand guests! Picture
them young and vigorous, and curbing
the ardor of their spirits by the same
strength Of restraint that gives them
to fight like men.
The band plays and the movies
move, and the Irish bosun MARBLES his
seagolng best. Up goes a trenenjus
roar. "The heavyweight champeen Of
the North Atlantic fleet!" bellows an
official announcer. Follow six Vicious
rounds in tarred rope circle, decks
sanded for blood rs of old.
But it's most fun to trade with an
other nation. In Cherbourg some years
ago ten tarry Poilus visited the flagship
as committee to invite the crews Of
American men.0f'War to a Christmas
celebration ashore.
There was no volunteering. All
hands knew the fun to come. Lots had
to be drawn. On the gala night two.
hundred husky descendants Of La.
fayette's "cheres amis" lined the Cher.
bourg quay and lockstepped up to the
town hall.
"A giant Christmas tree stood at one
end. Consultations Of colored candles
sparkled through it's branches from
top to bottom. Under each candle
hung d package, one gift for each
guest.
"S-h-h-h." A French host held up
his hand. "Dear friends, It Is beauti.
ful this night that you should be JOY.
full with US. Now" pointing gracefully
toward the tree, "shall we have the
presents?"
The brief speech was we'll said. But
unfortunately 1t was In French,
language not commonly spoken In our
great navy. And unfortunately one Of
them started forward.
Instant action resulted. The Yankees
charged. They swept the tree from its
mornings. They swept It through the
great halls after window, In a roar.
Ing rollicking mob they swept It down
the street and into their waiting boats,
Call 1t rude and rowdy. Sniff and
turn away. YOU'RE wrong. That was
the grahdest example Of resource and
initiative some Of ,ls will ever know.
