Herald Staff Correspondent

HARLINGEN, Oct. 27.-It Is an
acknowledged fact that the navy's
errands Of mercy have saved more
lives than all its guns have ever
destroyed, said George A. Kramer,
Valley recruiting officer who has
participated in many Of these
humanitarian activities and who is
chairman Of the Valleys Navy Day
observance today.
Kramer has been to dozens Of
scene OF deSoiation where the
United States navy has succored
suffering thousands by supplying
much needed food and medical
supplies. The list includes Russia,
Smyrna, China, the Philippines.
Japan, Nicaragua, Santo Domingo
and many others. In addition, he
has been present at numerous &C.
casionS at sea when ShipE in dis
tress were saved.
In Black Sea
He remembers perhaps , most
vividly the time when the u. S. S.
Smith Thompson was ordered in
Dec. 1919 from Philadelphia to
assist in the evacuation Of Russia
by prosecuted thousands who were
fleeing from death, starvation and
torture. II was the first American
man-o'-war ever to enter the Black
Sea and the second man-o'-war Of
any nation, a British vessel having
preceded the American by only a
few minutes.
The destroyer made Constantin-
opls its base and made IA trips to
Russia taking out all nationalities.
and giving out SO much food that
the sailors had to ration them
selves. Much ofs the relief work
was done under shell fire, but for
tunately the ship was never hit.
Thirty Russian children were
adopted by the sailors who gave a
part OF their salary to feed. clothe
and educate them. Many OF these
are now IN business in Turkey and
other eastern countries.
Admiral Mark l.. Bristol was in
charge Of the relief operations and
to him is given credit for Turkeys
adoption Of a republican form OF
government. Kramer said. For a
short time Turkey was without a
government and Admiral Bristol
was active In organizing schools,
etc. Instead Of continuing under
the rule of a sultan. Turkey adopt
ed a republican form Of govern
ment and elected a president.
Kramer was on the American
embassy staff for q year and also
was chief of the naval patrol for
three months.

COLORED TEAMS
IN TITLE FRAY

Dunbar and Armstrong high
schools meet today in the final
contest to decide the champion
ship of the colored high schools
of the city. The game will be
played in the Walker Memorial
Stadium and will get under way
at 2:30 p. m.
Dunbar Favored
Dunbar is a strong favorite to
win the title as the result of the
big score piled up against Car
dozo in the opening game of the
series. Tech met a stumbling
block in Cardozo and barely nosed
out the Business eleven, 1918.
Minns, quarterback and triple
threat man, is what Tech will
have to stop in order to gain a
victory. AS far as defensive and
offensive playing is concerned, the
two teams appear about equally
matched.
Dunbar Won in 1880
The contest today will not only
decide the city title, but also the
South Atlantic conference OF
colored high schools. Tech IS
leading the conference, with four
victories, and Dunbar, three.
Neither of the two elevens has
been beaten. Dunbar was the con-
ference champ last year.
