Ship Making Daily Trips to
Take Wounded ODer Channel

Folkestone, Oct. 16.-With the shift
ing of the fighting toward the channel,
Folkestone has become very impor-
tant hospital point for the allies. A Red
Cross ship lies here most of the time
and makes daily trips to Calais for the
injured.
Many of the large hotels here have
been converted into hospitals and 9th
ers probably will be taken shortly, as
it is necessary that more beds be plac-
ed at the disposal of the seriously
wounded, who are not able to make a
long trip by rail after coming across
the channel.
With the abandonment of Ostend by
the allies, all the Belgian wounded
quartered there came to Shorncliff
and the other hospitals here. One
large hotel also was turned over entire
ly to Belgians, that they may be under
the care of nurses and doctors who
understand their language.
Hospital trains are provided here
daily to meet the Red Cross ship, and
all the injured who can travel without
danger are taken to hospitals as near
their homes as possible.
The Red Cross ambulance corps has
it's quarters at hotel on the quay, and
motor ambulances are kept on the
quay to transport any injured soldiers
who arrive on any Of the regular boats
from Boulogne or Calais.
When the Red Cross ship starts
across the channel on it's daily trip
several motor ambuiances are taken

and nurses from the hospitals here al
SO make the trip to Calais, that they
may observe all cases carefully and
get full reports from the doctors who
have had charge of the soldiers in
France.
The Belgian soldiers brought here
from Ostend had, many of them, suffer
ed terribly as a result of the forced
evacuation of Ostend. Some of the
injured were taken to Ostend from the
field after the hospitals had been
abandoned, and could not be given ef-
fective treatment while waiting on the
pier for transport. One soldier had
a badly shattered arm which had not
been redressed for six days. Nurses on

Secretary of Agriculture
Uses This State to Show
Weakness Elsewhere
SOUTHERN FARMERS
NEGLECTING NEEDS
Fall Far Short of Iowans in
Raising of Cattle, Cows,
Hogs and Poultry

Chicago Oct. 26.-With people of all
sections keenly interested In the sup
ply of life's necessaries, they recog-
niZe the supreme Importance of max
ing agriculture efficient and profitable
and rural life comfortable" Secretary
Houston Of the department of agricuI-
ture, declared today before the conven-
tion of the National Dairy Show asso-
citation. He told the convention what
the association was doing to enable
the farm to increase the nations rap
idly decreasing meat supply, develop
acreage production, and declared there
could be mo question that the key to
the solution of many of the problems
of rural life will be found in some
form of concerted action or coopera-
ton"
!, "Some form of organization is as in
evitable as it is desirable" he said.
Just what factors have brought
about the serious situation confronting
the nation in it's meat supply no one
can with certainty define and so to
ascertain them have appointed q
commission consisting Of the best
authorities I could discover" said the
secretary.
Negiecting Little Items.
"This study will embrace an investi-
cation of production and consumption,
of the methods of producing, finishing
and marketing.
Certain things, however, are now
clear and definite measures for in
|creasing the meat supply are being
taken and can be taken with certainty.
It iss clear that we have been con-
sidering the meat supply Of the nation
too exclusively in terms Of the big
ranch and OF the large animals. Obvi-
ously 1t is important that we should
continue to help the cattle men and to
develop the ranch, and no pains will
be spared to do this.
'But unquesti onably the largest
hope for a considerable increase in
our meat supply lies in three other
directions. First in sympathetic at
tentior to the production of larger ami
mails in the settled farming areas Of
the country, especially in the south.
Second, in increasing attention to the
smaller animals, such as swine and
poultry, and third, in the control and
eradication of cattle ticks and hog
chOlera.
Iowa Used az Model.
"The last census shows a lament
able neglect of live stock In the south.
While the average Iowa farm has six
milk COWS, in North Carolina and Ala
bama it has less than two and in
South Carolina one. While the aver
age Iowa farm has 35 hogs, in North
Carolina and Alabama 1t has less than
IS, South Carolina less than 4, and
while the average farm in Iowa has
more than 1OS poultry, in North Caro-
lima and Alabama it has less than 20
and in South Carolina less than II.
mo southern state is giving the re-
quisite attention either to the produc-
ton of foodstutfs for human beings or
for live stock.
"But an easier and more definite
program for large increase in the
meat supply involves the eradication
of the cattle tick, of tuberculosis and
of hog cholera

ENGLISH PAPER
WOULD OFFEND u. S.

London, Oct. 26.-The Morning Post
editorially protests against the action
of the British government in declining
to arrest the enemy's belligerents in
neutral ships 1t argues that even If
the United States and other neutral
countries would be offended by such
arrests that is not sufficient reason
for the governments attitude.
The Post estimates that there are
100, 900 reservists in the United States
alone waiting for an opportunity to
cross the Atlantic to fight for their
fatherland and that with the embargo
on their arrest removed they will be-
gin to cross the ocean.
