Every soldier In the trenches and hospitals In Europe will be given an apple In the near future, If plans now being worked out by a committee of the apple trade through out the United States are successful. It is proposed to have a vessel take over a big cargo of appleB to be distributed free under the auspices of the Red Cross, and efforts will be made to get President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing to have the several warring governments permit safe passage for portions of the big consignment to the various fronts and hospitals where the fruit can be placed in the hands of the Red Cross for distribution, especially among the sick J 12, 1914.

Apple growers and dealers who are endeavoring to send over the big con slgnment have learned that many of the fighting men are suffering because of lack of fruit Juices, giving rUe to scurvy and other disorders. Returning surgeons who have seen service In the European hospitals are said to approve heartily the plan to provide more fruit Jylces not only among the wounded but also for the men in the trenches. "We are working on this undertak Ing purely from humanitarian motives," said one of the committee who Is a leading wholesale apple distributor. "Its going to cost a lot of money for the fruit alone, and we shall call upon all the people engaged in the apple industry to contribute a portion of the expense. At first the trade did not take kindly to the plan, as It was feared that vessels could not be found to carry over the apples. Then the Idea was conceived of chartering a ship which would take nothing but apples, and we believe that when the purpose is disclosed to foreign governments none will oppose free passage of our ship, for it will go on a mission of charity." 4 A local apple man who has interested himself in the matter, and who has figured out how it can be done, says: "It Is a big proposition and will require skillful handling, but it can be done. The value of the fruit alone would approximate about (300,000 aboard ship at New York. We understand that there are about 25,000,000 men actively engaged In the various armies and navies in the European war, and probably as many more Indirectly involved. To give them all an American apple apiece would mean at least 60,000,000, and taking 500 apples to the barrel, which would mean medium-size fruit, we shall have to provide 100,000 barrels or 300,000 boxes, at the lowest estimate." 13, 1914.
