FAME OF RED :
CROSS SPREAD
ALL QUARTERS
' SALONIKI, May 1 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Some of
the more amusing "human interest”
incidents of the activities of the
American Red Cross nurses and field
workers during the repatriation of
Greeks deported into Bulgaria during
the war are related by Lieutenant A.
S. Bedell, in charge of the American
Red Cross relief stations in Macedonia
and Bulgaria.
“We came into Bulgaria on a Ger
man freight car,” says Lieutenant
Bedell in his report. “This Red Cross
car was the first car of the first train
that ran from Serres to Saloniki after
the armistice and it was with the Red
Cross from the time we entered Bul
garia until we returned to Greece.
“On the trip out of Bulgaria we had
one iron bed and two camp cots. One
Red Cross man slept on a crate of
» biscuit tins, the bed being demount
able to furnish five chairs by day. The
Rad Cross man turned over frequently
in the night, bringing discord from the
tins but despite our protests at his
noisy mode of sleeping, he declared
he had a ‘rattling good bed.’
“Firewood was obtainable along the
route and we were able to use our
wood stove after cutting a hole in the
side of the car for the stove pipe.
Liquid food proved our only difficulty,
it was impossible to boil even half
an inch of water on the stove when
the ear was in motion. We had a real
American coffee grinder. The coffee
beans were put in a clean sock and
one of the men to the tune of ‘Yankee
Doodle’ would crush the beans with a
hammer.
When chicken was wanted for din
ner one of the party would go out
with half a cup of sugar in hand, wan
der about the village until he saw a
‘likely’ chicken, which he would there
upon seize. The native woman who
made the outcry was presumed to be
the owner and usually was glad to
acecpt the half cup of sugar in ex
change. Our much maligned ration
of ‘bully beef’ proved to be acceptable
also.
“Bartering was the order of the
day at all stations. A slice of Dread
would obtain three shines, fill a large
water jar or attract a carriage of sup
plies. During our last afternnon in
Dedegatch, on the Aegean sea, we had
the use of a horse and wagon all
afternoon, in order to return borrowed
furniture, for the payment of one tin
of ‘bully beef.’
“The fame of American Red Cross
relief stations spread throughout Bul
garia to such an extent that ocher Red
Cross workers and British and French
officers, including two Frencn gener
als, sought us out in passing to secure
a canteen of hot tea or to replenish
depleted rations.”

Our ice cream made fresh daily is pure and delicious, gj
Our Fountain always has several flavors of ice cream gj
on hand. jjij
Our formula and methods of making ice cream is the .gj
same as for the past several years. gj
Our crushed fruits and syrups are the best on the j|
market, namely the J. 0. Hungerford Smith brand. jjjj
Our ice cream bought in pint or quart cartoons is gj
handy to take home or we will deliver it to you. jjjj
Our Fountain drinks and dishes are snappy and up gj
to date. A trial of one of our specials will convince you. |j
Our price for ice cream, sodas, sundaes, etc., is the |j
same as for the past several seasons; we have not raised jjjj
our prices, even though all fountain supplies have great- gj
ly increased in cost, especially fruits and syrups. ^
We have been able to do this through keeping down |j
the operating expense of this department of our store. ||
