RED CROSS IS
FAMILIES IN
FRANCE
Washington,— (Mail)—What) the
Rod Cioss Commission to France
is doing to aid repatriated French,
families is described in a. cablegram
frcm Major Grayson M.-P. Murphy,
leceived by the Red Cross War
Council. The cable is as follows:
"Two trains o£ French Rapatries
containing 1,000 people, 60 per
cPfl* of whom are women and chil
dren, arrive daily iu Evian home
less, sick, terrorized, after three
yeais of captivity. The American
Rtd Cross is co-operating with
the Government and a local comit
tee in the care of these people.
"On SoDtembr 6th Dr. William P.
Lucas, Chief of the Children's Bu
reau ot the Commission, started the
American Red Cross medical work
for the children of the Rapatries
pouring into Evian. dally. These
children are in very poor condition,
jnai'y suffering from tuberculosis,
skin and infectious diseases.
"The American Red Cross is op
ening a dispensary in connection
wl'b the receiving bureau at Evian,
anu an acute hospital of 30 beds for
tho iiickest Children. A convales
cent hospital of 120 beds at Thon
on near Evian is being taken over
by the Red Cross and plans made
for a larger convalescent hospital
of 250 beds at St. Joseph du Lac
near Evian.
"One American nurse has been iu
charge of 120 beds for sick children
for eight months and the results
wl'h the meagre equipment have
been marvelous. The American Red
Cross n»s sent seven ambulances to
Evian for transportation of sick
children to »he hospitals. This was
an acuto need as sick and exhaust
ed women and children can now be
handled by automobiles instead of
trains."

DESERTER TO ASK
CHANCE TO SERVE
Seattle, Nov. 13.—Charles A. G.
Miller's conscience began to prick
him when the United States declar
ed war with Germany. The still,
small voice became so insistent that
Miller walked into the police sta
tion and surrendered as deserter
from the United States marine!
coros to Lieut. J. T. Masou. Miller
said that lie had served a three-)
year enlistment In the army.. and
and then h-0 enlisted for three
years in the marines. After nine
months he deserted, more than a
year aro. Miller hopes that lie will
bo allowed to return to the marines,
«o that he can do his part in the

NAVAL HEROES
NEEDED SO BOATS
CAN GET NAMES
Bremerton, Nov. 13.—Naval of
ficers are wondering what system
will be adopted In naming the big
flock of destroyers, now under con
struction or contracted for, when
the names of naval heroes of his
tory have been exhausted.
Battleships have always been
named after states and our lexia
than fighting ships etjll have a
number of states to draw upon.
Cruisers are named after cities
wi*h anmost inexhaustible supply of
municipal appelations, but destroy
ers, which have always been named
after naval heroes, are facing a
dearth of proper cognomens.
One officer has suggested that the
present war bids fair to develop
naval heroes in the same prportion
as the increased number of destroy
1 ers, which would he a 6imple solu- J
| tion of the problem.
