RED CROSS HEAD DECLARES ALLIES WILL WIN WAR "We Are Fighting for Our Lives,' H. P. Davison Says.

(By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. May 17. Appearing unexpectedly at a Red Cross luncheon of the Merchants' association a few hours after his return today from Europe, Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross, addressed the gathering and told of the war conditions he had seen. "I have Just come back from the war zone, and, ladles and gentlemen, we are at war," he said. "We are at war for our lives. "The military situation in general is very serious, but I think J reflect the attitude of Gen. Pershing in saying that the allies will win. Of that there Is not a doubt." Red Cross Activities. A summary of some of the Red Cross war relief described by Mr. Davison follows: In France relief is being extended in 121 cities and towns; in Italy in fortyfive cities and towns, with branches !n 218 other places. There are 3,000 Americans abroad working for the Red Cross, "in France the organization has thirty-seven warehouses, containing more than $7,000,000 worth of goods. In France the Red Cross operates fifteen hospitals, in England five, in Italy two. In addition supplies are furnished to 4,361 hospitals in 1,509 cities an dtowns la France and to 465 hospitals in Italy. Fourteen rolling canteens at the French front have supplied 3,240,000 hot drinks to French soldiers. Aid from Heme Needed. A factory has been established for the manufacture of artificial limbs and five splint factories are operating under Red CrosB supervision. It is such activities as these that convince Mr. Davison that "America Is today a rainbow toward- which western Europe, from the north of Scotland to the .south of Italy, looks as the sign of comfort, hope, and victory." Speaking of the Red Cross drive next week, he said: "We need to let it be known to our own soldiers and . the soldiers of our allies and the peoples behind their lines that the Amer

ican people are with them heart and soul." Mr. Davison's talk was with the newspaper men at his home here after he had attended a luncheon of the Merchants' association, where be spoke briefly.

A. work in France for the last year expects to return home soon. .Mr. .Kendall signed for one year's work. Kendall was born near Chester, was graduated from the Richmond high schools and later received a diploma from Indiana State university. For three years be was engaged as state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Nebraska and was stationed at Kearney, where Mrs. Kendall and their two children are now residing. The following letters have been received by his mother: On Active Service With the American Expeditionary Force, March 21, 1918. Dear Mother The weeks certainly do roll by fast here. It will soon be Sime to go home. In two months I'll e counting the days till the boat goes and I'm not saying anything about it to any of the other Y. M. C. A. men or the soldiers, partly because I hate to go so bad and partly because it might make them want to go too. I'd much rather 6tay here till the end of the war, which will be a year from next September (my guest). I got a letter from my French colleague the other day who said the French Y. M. C. A., where I worked has been completely demolished by shells and they were sleeping in dugouts every night for protection. I wish I could have been up there through it with them, but Providence decreed that I should be here, so here I am. , ' la Getting Fat. I haven't been weighed lately but I'm getting quite fat. I must have put on at least ten pounds since I've been here. This last week I've gotten a lot of letters from all my correspondents. Your letters are coming regularly. We had a fine dinner today, chicken, dressing, potatoes and gravy, coffee, bread and molasses always the latter at all meals. It constitutes most of our dessert and supplies us with the sweet end of our diet. My. but it's been chilly here for the

last few days. Heavy frosts every morning and chilling rains during the day. I had to go back to some heavy underwear and use the same blankets I've had all winter. Our work here is pretty much the same every week. All morning we are busy cleaning up the place and writing and planning. At 1 o'clock the Btore we run opens and ,runs until four. We are the only store in camp and all of

us take turns clerking. It is open again from five to eight p. m. My job is usually running the cash and making change and I have to do it four days a week for three hours a day. Sales are High. We sometimes sell as much as $400 or $500 worth of stuff a day. Here's a list of things we sell: Nuts, dates, figs, chocolate, chewing gum, wash pans, buckets, towels, cigarettes, tobacco, safety razors, soap, matches,

handkerchiefs, shaving soap, brushes for shaving, teeth and clothes; pencils, knives, vaseline, jam. salmon, sardines, apples, newspapers, pocketbooks, dictionaries, fountain pens, ink,

candles, tablets and many other articles I've forgotten. It's difficult to keep in stock but a motor truck arrives from the ware house in the city on - Monday and

Thursday. We write money orders for the men who wish to send money

home and lots of them do it.

I have two big Bible classes running among the regiments and intend to

have some more as soon as we get the time. I'm drawing a plan of the Y. M. C. A. building to give you some idea of how we are sua.ed. I have several letters to write so must close. With love, HERBERT. April 9. 1918. Dear Folks: Today we went out in the mayor's car to see the big guns at target practice. There is something doing when they go off. You can feel the wind pressing against you when it fires. The officers here use cars and it seemed good to have a real auto ride again. They run very nice. I have charge of stage performances here and have another full program this week. We have two movies, one concert, one stag dance, one stunt night, and one speech by the General. I also have a mid-wee prayer meeting, two Sunday meetings and some Bible classes. My food has not been so good this last week but it has its ups and downs. I'll let the enclosed sheet constitute most of the news this week. With love, HERBERT.

War-Time Responsibility

Yours and Ours

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS OF HOT WATER

Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting mors food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone

an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Adv.
