MILLIONS SPENT FOR RELIEF BY AMERICANS RED GROSS IN RUSSIA

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. Fourteen million dollars, covering the costs of distribution or articles ranging from auto-ambulances to safety rins- nave been expended by the American Red Cross In Its relief -work in Russia, according . to figures taken from the Sorthcoming annual report of the organization and made public today at headquarters here. Service was extended to millions of men, women and children, and ranged from hospital care for the sick to food and clothing for the Btarving and ill clad. The work was carried on through commissions sent to Siberia. Western Russia, Southern Russia and the Baltic States. A total of 2,667 per

sons, including 503 Americans, were employed, and 10.000 different articles nrara At ct -lhll t erl flfA Of fOSt.

In a hospital at Reval, consisting of a single barrack with 460 beds In one room, there were 600 deaths in one week. Thousands of cases were treated, and with the untrained assistance c.r the people, the epidemic finally conquered, but not until two American Red Cross officers. Lieutenant George W. Winfleld and Lieutenant Clifford Blanton, had succumbed to the dis ease. Much of the relief work in western Russia consisted in aid to more than 250,000 allied soldiers held in prison camps, but many thousands of civilians also wore supplied with food and clothing. ' In the Baltic states, in addition to ordinary relief efforts, the Red Cross commissions aided in tha treatment of nearly 20,000 typhus cases, and disinfecting stations and horpttals had to be established on a large scale. The work in south RusF'a consisted largely in caring for ref ugees and infighting typhus and cholera in the Crimea. Navy to Distribute Medals to Its Heroes After Very Long Delay WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.

Palladium Serves Community

With Reliable Election Service

The famous Italian pleasure resort city, Como, was completely flooded recently by the over

flowing of the river Como. Business was at a complete star -'still. The picture shows hw one of the

leading squares of the tov.Ti looked at the height o' the flood, which did great property damage.

A comprehensive and reliable report of the election was given to the residents of Richmond, Wayne and adjacent counties by the Palladium last night and early this morning by stereopticon, telephone and extra editions. The reception accorded to the service by the public indicated that it was appreciated both for its speed and its reliability. National and state returns were conveyed to the Palladium office by leased wires of The Associated Press, the Western Union arid the Postal Telegraph company, while county returns were received over the telephone and by messenger. The- combined result of these agencies was an expeditious and reliable gathering of the returns for the benefit of this community and the adjacent territory. The distribution of the news involved the use ot an elaborate system, carefully planned, and so nicely 'executed that no time was lost in conveying the returns to the public. In Richmond, a stereopticon in the Palladium flashed bulletins on a build

About 5,000 persons took ad- i vantage of the service prepared by the Palladium for outlying districts, and the number of persons who watched j the returns at the Coliseum and be-

fore the office is estimated to have !

been 3,500, making a total of approximately 8,500.

It was the first time in the history of ;

many of these towns that they received a complete snd comprehensive election service. Congratulatory messages were received by the Palladium from outlying districts last ni?ht. By arranging for the receipt of the returns in public halls and meeting places, many women, who otherwise would have been compelled to stay at home, were able to watch the triumph of Senator Harding's campaign for the

Camel Cavalry, Used by Army to Cross Deserts, Now Memory

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. The skeleton of a camel which stands in a case at the National Museum here constitutes the sole relic of two shiploads of camels brought from the Far East in the. "fifties" while Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War in an effort to solve the problem of transporting military supplies between the Mississippi River and the posts scattered across the western deserts. Hostility of native mule drivers to the "ships of the desert" and the beginning of the Civil War are assigned by government authorities as the reasons for the failure of the effort to utilize camels as burden carriers over the western plains. Dr. Charles C. Carroll of the Department of Agriculture has written an official history of the importation of camels. He says the idea of transplanting the beasts to America originated with the Spanish after the conquest of South America and toward the end of the 16th century they were introduced into Peru. The camels were not looked upon with favor by the ruling officials, however, and they dwindlotf away. Some camels also were transported to Virginia from Guinea in 1701, but there is no authentic record of the enterprise except that it failed. Transportation troubles during the

stubborn Indian war in Florida caused

to Smyrna and when the supply arrived at that point the remaining camels were found assembled. Mr. Heap had purchased them at prices ranging from $100 to $400. Camel Doctor Loses His Job.

D.", but his medical services were dispensed with after it was found that his cure for a cold was a piece of cheese; for swelled legs, tea mixed with gunpowder, and for trifling complaints, tickling the animal's nose with a chameleon's tail. The cargo was landed at Indianola, Texas, May 14, 1850, and the beasts were taken by easy stages to San Antonio, 120 miles away, where Maj. Wayne planned to establish a camel

tion information to hundreds. Western

Union and Postal Telegraph dispatches were used for this purpose here and in the towns nearby. Associated Press dispatches were confined exclusively to the three extra editions that were issued during the night and morning. As soon as a bulletin was received by the Western Union or Postal service, an editor condensed and prepared it for typists, who transferred the mesrage to slides. Messenger boys quickly carried them to the stereopticon in the Palladium stereopticon and to the Coliseum. In the meantime, the bulletins had been placed in the hands of persons who wrote theiri on a large blackboards, in plain sight of eight men, who telephoned them on eight" lines to 221 stations. Only a few minutes elapsed between the receipt of a bulletin and its reading to the many points who were being served by the Pal
