Although six months have elapsed sinece Pueblo, Colo.. was overwhelmed by flood the American Red Cross is still car- rying on the rehabiiitation work that suc ceeded the d saster relief service it ren- dered at the time the river broke its banks. A report by Robert S. Gast, City Relief Agent appointed by the Pueblo City Commissioners, reveals the effect- iveness of this work and the deep appre- ciat on felt by the citizens of the Colora- do city. ““In tke first place’’, states Mr, Gast, “*of the $500,000 that has been or will be used in our disaster relief all except about $148,000 was contributed by the American Red Cross—that is to say, by the National Organization or by Red Cross Chapters throughout the world. “This fund is being efficiently and sympathetically administered by a highly trained, experienced and thoroughly com- petent personnel who have;had the coun sel of an advisory committe> of local business and professional men of the highest standing. ““The Red Cross National organizaticn is bearing all overnead expenses and all charges of administration, so that evary dollar subseribed goes directly to our flood sufferers, witnout deduction of any kind or for any purpose ”’ Chapters as far away as Hankow Chi- na and Chuquicamata, Chile, contribut- ed to this fund through the Insular and Foreign Division. Should disaster, such as hurricane, earthquake or fire, descend upon St. Croix, the same readiness to serve as always characterizes the Red Cross would be evidenced. TELEGR - MS. ST. CROIX STATION. New York, Jan. 23rd. —lnfluenza cases have been ceported to the Health Depart- ment in the last three days at the rate of thirty cases a day while cases of orippe, tonsilitis, severe colds and pneumonia have been far more serious than is common, Health Commissioner Coseland said yesterday. Influenzia is showing a serious incyease, he said, “‘and is undoubtedly occurring at a rate considerably above thirty cases a day, as many cases are not reported. This is the same disease that we suffered in 1918 and is just as deadly at present, the only difference being that it is not epidemic but there is a tremendous amount of influenza in Paris and Lon- don and we have to be fearful here.”’ London, Jan. 23rd. —Civilian and offi- cial England today was mourning the deith of Viscount Bryce of Dechmont who passed away at Sidmouth yester- day. Announcement of the death of the famous statesman, author and di- plomat, was unexpected, it not being generally known that he wasin a seri- ous condition. Weakness of the heart intervened in his illness and the end came very suddenly. London. Jan. 23rd.—The Irish situa- tion took a surprising and unexpected turn -Saturday with the announcement that Micbael Coilins, head of the Irish Provisional Government and Siv James Craig, Premier, had arrvived at a matual agreement which hold out the promise of a peaceful settlement between North and South. It was all the more surpris- ing in view of the fact tbat Mr. Collins had only left Dublin last night to enter into consultation with Sir James Craig this morning. In addition to the ar- rangements made to settle the boundary question, it was decided to cease forth- with mutual boyecotts. What is consid- ered of vast importance is the decision to devise 2a better system than the coun- cil of Ireland as provided in the 1920 act, to deal with problems affecting the whole of Ireland. The Ulster Unionists naturally will welcome tke raising of the boyeott, but are apprehensive of trouble with the shipyard workers on the ques- tion of the restoration of Catnolic work- men expelled in July 1920 after the murder of Colonel Amythe in “ork. Dublin, Jan. 23rd —Satisfaction with the agreement reached late last night be- tween Michael Collins and Sir James Craig, the Primier of Ulster, relative to the boundary between North and South Ireland was expressed today by the Inde- pendent. Itisa great and decided ad- vance toward Irish Union, the newspa-
