FRANCE AND ENGLAND ALSO
HAVE RELIEF WORKERS
IN FIELD
Jassy, Rumania, Jan. 9.-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press)-'
Only relief measures on a scale equa
to those caried out in Belgium would
effectively meet the extreme condi-
tions of poverty and suffering exist-
ing in Rumania. Nevertheless the
American Red Cross commission.
which has been in Jassy since the
middle of September, although it has
not adequate means to cope fully with
the situation, is endeavoring to the
limit of its capabilities to give relief
at least to the hospitals and the sick
with the handful of supplies it has
at its disposal.
The medical unit, consisting of 13
American doctors and 12 American
nurses, is doing splendid work at Ro-
man, 60 miles from Jassy and about
45 miles from the Austrian-Rumanian
front, where it has established the
first American hospital with a capaci-
ty of 500 beds. The chief difficulty.
in carrying on the work has been the
problem of getting medical supplies
through Russia.
British Turn Over Hosp.ital
The British Red Cross has been of
the greatest assistance to the Ameri-
can commission which came here vir-
tually empty-handed and was disap-
pointed by the non-arrival of medical
supplies shipped from New York. In
this emergency the British organiza-
tion, which had been operating in Ru-
mania for more than a year, turned
over to the commission the hospital in
Roman.
Queen Marie of Rumania has taken
particular interest in the work of the
hospital and was invited to partake
of Thanksgiving dinner with the
American staff there. The staff them-
selves have felt the food privations
which prevail in Rumania and the
Thanksgiving dinner was the first
real substantial repast they had since
their arrival. The chairman and the
staff eat at army headquarters and
have meat only three times a week.
French Save Country
France 'has rendered Rumania med-
ical and military relief on a
scale so great that this little
kingdom would scarcely exist to-
day if it had not been for the gener-
osity of her French ally. France re-
organized and revivified the Rumanian
army. She now has here nearly 1,000
officers who have been teachiig the
Rumanian soldiers modern tactics as
used on the western front.
In medical relief the French gov-
ernment has sent here more than 80
doctors. Some of these died heroicly
in the typhus scourge of last winter.
others are doing fine work at the
front and in the hospitals in the small
towns and cities.- France undoubtedly
stands first in the affections of the
Rumanians; then comes the United
States, and England. French is spok-
en here almost as commonly as Ru-
manian; in fact, It Is almost the sole
language in government and in so-
cial circles.

of
A
At the meeting of the county board
of supervisors yesterday afternoon in
the County building it was decided
to change the system of feeding the
prisoners in the county jail. The
sheriff at present receives a salary
of $2,500 and is allotted 10 cents pee
meal for each prisoner. In the new
system adopted the county will feed
the prisoners with the sheriff in
charge. The salary of the sheriff is
also to be changed.
Upon recommendation of the chair-
man of the county infirmary commit-
tee the supervisors gave their permis-
sion to borrow $15,000 to complete
the almshouse now in course of con-
struction. The institution will cost
$84,000 when completed.
A resolution was passed providing
that the interest on the district road
bonds be raised from four and one-
half to five per cent in order that the
bonds may be sold locally without ad-
ditional expense.
Supervisor Gilbert Madden of Dex-
ter was in charge of the meeting yes-
terday,
pects to have two carloads of coal on
hand the latter part of the week. This
will be distributed as soon as received

Boats Unloaded at Port Huron

Huron by the The Daily that the two
boats held there are being emptied
of their coal cargoes. Cars are being
shipped out daily to inland Michigan
cities. Unloading of one boat was de-
layed by an ice blockade in the St.
Clair river, but this vessel has finally
been docked and is being unloaded.
The promised cars from that source
should arrive in Ann Arbor this week.
