CASUALTIES OF
RED TRIANGLE
IN LATE WAR
NEW YORK, March 14,-The
Young Men s Christian Association
carried the red triangle into the
camps and trenches abroad at a cost
of fifty-seven lives, a sacrifice propor
tionately one-quarter as great aa that
in the American army, according to a
statement issued today by the Na
tional War Work Council of the Y. M.
C. A. Of these fatalities thirty-nine
were due to disease, and the re
mainder to shell-fire, bombs, gas-fever,
drowning and wounds. Ten of these
were women, cne of whom was killed
by shell fire and another in a Ger
man air raid.
There were also fifty-five ncn-fatal
casualties. These were due princi
pally to machine gun fire, gas, shell
fire and motor transport accidents.
Numerous cases of slight wounds and
gassings which were attended at
dressing stations, but were not re
ported to headquarters, are not in
cluded.
These casualties occurred in a
force which at r.o time exceeded 9,000
workers, of whom it is reckoned that
mere than one half were never sent
to the front, being employed in the
hundreds of huts maintained through
out the training areas and the “leave
areas.”
Sixty-three “Y” workers were dec
orated, while in all more than 152 re
ceived official recognition for dis
tinguished service. Thirteen of these
were decorated with the Croix dej
Guerre, while fifty received other dec
orations. Of these, three received
the Distinguished Service cross; three
the Order of St. Stanislaus; five the
Italian Cava'.iere del Corona; thirty
eight the Italian war cross, and one
the French decoration of the Corps
d’Armee. Seven were cited for the
Croix de Guerre, and seven for other
decorations, six commended for meri
torious conduct, and twenty-nine re
ceived honorable mention in dis
patches. Several units were cited in
their entirety, those serving with the
Third division being cited twice.
Mere than a score more reported dec
orations have not yet beer, con
firmed.
Not one of these men under 30 was
fit for military duty, but the Elutions
shew that they carried on with the
same courage and spirit that inedti
fied Americans throughout the war.
These records show that they v/ent
over the top with assaulting waves,
that they exposed them3clvcs under
machine gun and shell fire to minister
to the wounded, that they worked in
defatigably as stretcher-bearers and
that they drove ambulances into the
midst of battle to rescue the wounded.
Others were sacrificed in the less
heroic but no less necessary work be
hind the lines. Among these stands
out Miss Winona Martin of Rockville
Center, L. I., a Y. M. C. A. secretary,
who was the first American woman
killed in the war. She was killed by
a bomb during a German air raid,
and her death made a deep impression
on American minds.
Miss Martin had been in Paris only
a month, but had already done valu
able work in stimulating an interest
among the soldiers in the Y. M. C. A.
in Paris.
Miss Marion G. Crandell of Alameda,
California, killed by shell lire near
Chalons, March 16, 1918, was another
of the women sacrificed in helping the
soldiers.
. The citation of the units attached
to the Third division, consisting of
thirty-four men and six women, by
Major General Dickman, reads in
part:
The commanding general desires to
make of record in the general orders
of this division his appreciation of
the part taken by the members of the
Y. M. C. A. who have been attached
to this division and actively carried
on their work in all its phases during
the time that this division was in con
tact with the enemy.
While the men of the Y. M. C. A.
were with the troops in the front line,
the young women of the Y. M. C. A.
were detailed with the hospitals, and
the medical staff of this division bear
testimony of their most efficient help
during these two weeks of great
strain.

CENTENARY OF
STEAMSHIP TO
BE OBSERVED
SAVANNAH, Ga„ March 14.—The
centennial anniversary of trans-At
lantic steam navigation will be cele
brated here on May 22, the date when
the Savannah, the first ship to cross
the Atlantic propelled by steam and
the forerunner of the great ocean
greyhounds of today, sailed from this
port for Liverpool on her historic
voyage.
The Savannah was built at New
York city and was launched on August
22, 1818. She was mastered by the
two Rogers—Captain Moses Rogers
being commander,- and Captain Stev
ens Rogers, the sailing master. The
vessel left New York city March 28,
1819, and arrived in this city for the
first time on April 12, 1819.
On May 22, 1819, the trip across the
Atlantic was started from this port.
Everything went well until June 17,
when the vessel was stopped by the
British cutter Kite, whose commander
thought the Savannah was on fire and
stopped her to assist in fighting the
flames.
Thp. vphmp! was stnnnpri outstrip
Liverpool by an English sloop of war,
whose commander wished the Ameri
can vessel to display the British col
ors above its own. Captain Rogers
refused and threatened the British
officer with a boiling water bath if
he did not leave the ship. He im
mediately left.
The Savannah docked in Liverpool
on June 20, after completing the voy
age in twenty-nine days\ and eleven
hours. The engines were used only
eighteen days on the trip.
The entrance of the Savannah under
full steam caused excitement in Liver
pool and while the vessel remained
in port it was the center of interest.
The Savannah then proceeded to
Stockholm and on September 18
arrived at St. Petersburg (now Petro
grad), where she was inspected by
the American and foreign ministers
and the nobility.
The ship left St. Petersburg on Sep
tember 29, 1819, and arrived in
Savannah on November 30, after an
absence of 192 days.
This was the first and last trip of
the Savannah across the Atlantic.
Afterward her engines were removed
and she was used as a sailing vessel
between New York and Savannah.
She was wrecked off Long Island in
1821.
FIRST SAILING FOR
COOK INLET METROPOLIS
The first vessel of the Seattle fleet
to leave for Anchorage since the close
of navigation in that part of the North
last fall, the barge I^awrence of the
Alaskan engineering commission, left
the Puget sound port on the afternoon
of March 1, in tow of the navy tug
Oneonta.
The barge has a cargo of 700 tons
of steel rails and fittings, oil, gaso
line, lumber and other freight, and
will call in Seward en route to Cook
inlet.
Officers of the Pacific Steamship
Company announced recently that
they had decided to disipatch the first
vessel of the company’s fleet to leave
for Anchorage this year at 10 a. m.
April 1. The carrier which will make
the voyage has not been designated,
it was explained. Last year the Ad
miral Evans was the first vessel to
leave, Seattle for Anchorage, sailing
from that port April 6. She was fol
lowed April 8 by the steamship Alaska
of the Alaska Steamship Company.

PEOPLE OF JUNEAU
STRIKE A WINDFALL
Juneau feasted on fresh herring at
25 cents a water bucketful, and large
sized ones at that, during the recent
strike in Seattle. The fishing schooner
Albatross, Captain W. R. Hanloon, put
into Juneau during the strike with 150
barrels of fresh herring, which Capt.
Hanlon expected to sell to the Juneau
Cold Storage Company. Because of
the strike in Seattle and the fact that
It had a supply of frozen herring on
hand sufficient to supply the fishing
vessels in port with bait, the Com
pany was unable to receive the her
ring.
Captain Hanlon immediately offered
the fish to the people of Juneau at
25 cents a water bucketful, and an
nounced that the bigger the bucket
the better he would like it Every
body was asked to bring a bucket and
come early to avoid the rush. It was
bargain day for herring, and the bulk
of the catch was disposed of to the
Juneau public In a few hours.
