The Government is handicapped, moreover, by the fact that It's resources are already strained by the necessity of providing lodgings for war prisoners and interned aliens.

especially those phases having to do
with the hygiene of labor, has been ap-
pointed the under secretary of state
for war, with the control of the mill
tary sanitary service. His job is to
be sort of civil Colonel Gorgas in
the French conduct of their great task.
Mr. Godart is a lawyer and a young
man, having been born in Lyons il
1871. He began his political career as
deputy for the Rhone in 1906.
Speaking of his work and particular
ly that part of it which will have to
do with solving the problem of what
is to become of those so badly wound
ed in the war as to be incapacitated
for ordinary occupations, Mr.. Godart
said to an editor of LIE Matin:
"It is not enough to nurse and 70
care for them; the social values which
they have lost must also be regained
somehow. 1 am speaking more par
ticularly of those who have been per-
manently mutilated by war. Those
whose faculties and aptitude have
been diminished by the war must be
followed up in their civil life when
they have returned to it, and re-edu-
Gated for their new existence. This
work is, of course, especially work
for the future; but it is better to be-
gin to think about it now"
The man who is to be sort of civil
quartermaster for the French army is
known as "Thierry of Alsace." He was
born in Alsace, at Haguenau, in 1851
when Alsace was still a part of
France. After the Selling OF AlSace by
Germany in 1871, Joseph Thierry NOV,
ed to Marseilles. where he practised
law until elected to the chamber OF
deputies in 1898. From that time on,
he has given the greater part of his
life to politics. He is distinguished
economist, and has been chairman of
the tariff committee of the chamber of
deputies as well as vice chairman of
the budget committee. At one time, he
gave a great deal of attention to he
French merchant marine and was the
author of bill dealing with that
question.
On March 81, 1913, in the cabinet
of which Barthou was premier, Joseph
Thierry was minister of public works,
a post for which he was considered
eminently fitted.

PARIS, July 24.-The passage of the
Law fran ed by Deputy Jean He4nes-

taries Of state for war, in addition to
the one now charged with overseeing
the production of munitions, is still an

military organization. The new under
secretaries will be under Mr.. Miller

is Mr. Albert Thomas, the under Sec
rotary charged with the production OF
munitions. In France, in contrast 10
England, there is but one civil head
of everything pertaining to land opera
lions, and that head is the war min

The two posts just created include
the sanitary service of the army on
the one hand and the feeding and
clothing of the fighting men of France
on the other. The administration Of
both has been the subject of some lit

AUSTRALIA To SUPPLY
MUN|TION To ENGLISH
TROOPS At FRONT
(By Associated Press.)

MELBOURNE, Australia, July "a
Steps are being taken by the Com
monwealth government, state govern
ments and by firms and individuals to
try to supply the Imperial Government
with munitions, in view of the enor-
nous Importance in this war of I'M
ceasing provisions of shells and the
like.
The general idea is to organize the
facilities of Australia in this direction
and to this end, the Minister for De-
tense, Senator George F. Pearce, has
named special committee to go into
the corelative question of the amount
and character of the war material be-
ing furnished to the Federal Govern
ment by Australian manufacture; the
governments own manufacture of
war material and the contracts now
in forcce between the British war office
and he Australian manufacturers.
! This committee which will be almost
departmental body in its functions,
will cooperate with the committees
which are to be chosen by commercial
bodies.
Besides this the Australian Chamber
of Manufacturers has been asked by
the Defense Department to appoint a
committee of experts to go into the
subjects of marshalling the various
trades and ascertaining the capacity
of each factory By these means it is
expected a more or less definite
knowledge will be gained of what
Australia can do to assist Great Brit
ain and how that assistance can be
rendered
Meanwhile companies and employ
ers all over Australia are showing the
greatest desire and willingness to
supply munitions, but are awaiting
directions.

NOW FOR COTTON

Cotton is being blowed up now at
faster rate than at any previous time
in the history of the world. The use
of gun-cotton in an up-to-date warfare
is enormous, being used largely in the

English cordite is 81 per cent gun-cot'

innate that every time one of the biz
