record will be sent to them, so that
they will feel themselves to be participat-
ing directly in the work.
The committee is opening this week in
Paris a small trying-out hospital in
large garden, where the men will be re-
ceived and their cases studied before
their final destination is decided on. The
committee is also preparing two houses
of about seventy-five beds each in the
country, and is negotiating for a. large
place near Paris, where the committee
shall have the same number Of beds. The
object of the committee Is not only to
cure the durable, but to teach them
trade or occupation enabling them to
earn their living in the country. or at
least away from great cities. A member
of the committee has already placed at
the committees disposal a chateau in
Touraine surrounded by a large park and
vineyards, and this will be used as an
agricultural training school to which
suitable tuberculous subjects may be sent
II is the intention of the committee to
keep each patient as long as his condr-
ton requires. thus suppiementing the
work projected by the government. which.
owing to the immense numbers to be
dealt with. cannot give more than tenn
porary treatment.
This is only a beginning; but 1t is AL
that the funds will permit the committee
to undertake at present, and the COM
mittee cannot carry on these houses for
more than six months. The ministry of
war Is much interested in the plan. It
will extend the same privileges that have
been given to the American Ambulance at
Neuilly since the beginning of the war.
This adoption by the Service de Sante"
is OF the utmost Importance, as 1t facili-
tates the work in every way. besides
being a guarantee of the approval of the
French government.
Meanwhile. numbers of poor tubercuous
soldiers, after preliminary treatment In
the government sanatariums, are coming
daily to the office imploring to be
taken in.
The committee hopes in a few weeks to
have organized a committee in New York,
but meanwhile gifts of money may be
addressed directly to Edith Wharton at
80 Rue de Varenne. Paris, and donations
in kind, such as wooden sweaters, warm
wooden blankets. gauze for handkerchief,
and woolen socks and dressing gowns
may be sent. through the War Relic.
Clearing House, to the office of the "Oeu-
vre des ruberculeux de la Guerre," 81
Rue de Varenne, Paris.
Subscriptions for this charity may be
made to Mrs. TheO. V. Boynton, treasurer

Paris, Oct. n.-Neariy 10000 soldiers
have come back from the French front
with the germs of tuberculosis. The
soldiers, often incompletely cured after
their first treatment in the military hos
pital, return home to their families to be
nursed and supported until they are well
enough to work; and during that time
they spread the contagion Of their disease
and too often die Of 1t themselves.
Yet tuberculosis is one of the most
durable of diseases. Except in the last
stages it rests with the patient to re-
cover II he chooses; but to choose"
he must have help. moral and material.
He must be shown how to get well, and
he must be given the chance to get well.
Hurried measures are being taken by
the French government and by various
private organizations to meet this ap-
palling situation; but every resource must
be called upon to make even a beginning.
and at no moment have American initia-
tive and American sympathy for France
had a more magnificent opportunity for
showing themselves. America leads the
way in the open-air treatment of tubercu-
losis; and a group OF Americans here
in Paris, wishing to make this treatment
available, are already organizing a for
nation OF American sanatariums where

tific care

MunitIOn supply Low.

Until the allies by their simultaneous
attacks wrested the initiative from the
German staff, the thinness OF the Tu-
tonic lines In most parts OF the front did
not matter greatly. for they were able to
keep their enemies more than busy de-
tending themselves. Moreover, the NUM-
ton supply Of the Russians and British
did not until this year permit concerted
allied onslaughts upon huge scale. Lack
Of team work between Russia, Britain
and France made still easier the defen-
sfve task Of Chief of STAN Won Falken-
heyn. who by his famous "shuttle-and-
loom system used the network Of Ger
man railways to rush troops from one
front to the other either for attack or
defense. The allied strategy at present,
sxemplined by the great operations sim
uitaneousiy carried out in Picardy and
Gsifcfa. successfully prevents the trans
fer Of troops In this way, and one of the
most brilliant triumphs OF German pre-
paredness and organization can no longer
b. repeated.

1t has been shown that the Germans
are probably not In a position to attempt
an offensive. and that II they cannot
break through the iron ring of enemies,
they will be compelled to shorten their
lines somewhere because their lines are
too long for the number of men they have
to hold them and because enemy attacks
are constantly making the lines longer
yet.
There remains for explanation the
statement made at the beginning of this
srticle-that the impending retreat will
be carried out In France and not in the
East. The objections, from the German
point OF view, to a retirement here are
obvious and most weighty. France Is the
principal theater of war, where the
greatest armies are massed. A retreat
here will advertise to all the world, even
to the German people, that all hope of
victory has been lost. The great indus
trial regions of France, the coal mines,
perhaps even the iron ore fields, would
be abandoned in a general retirement.

PATRONAGE OF HOME IN
.DIISTRIES.

Patronage of home indus
tries means as much to COM
munity's character as to its
trade. 1t means civic pride,
common helpfulness and pa
triotism. 1t means the foster
ing of that spirit of co-opera
tion which is the very life
breath of social progress.
Lancaster should cultivate a
demand for home products,
whether of field or factory
thereby increasing it's indie
pendence.
We all realize the weakness
and wastefulness of sending
thousands of dollars an
nually away for grain and meat
and other commodities which
our own soil will yield in abund-
and, and which our farmers
will produce if they are assur-
ed of a profitable home market.
This is true of manufactures
as of agriculture. To the eX-
tent that we utilize our own re-
sources and our enterprises, we
shall grow in prosperity and
independence.
To patronize home enter
prises is not a spirit of mar
row prejudice against outside
interests. but Q matter of SIM
pie loyalty to our own. 1t would
mean a vast increase in the
number of employees in al
branches of trades. And that
would mean more business for
the real estate dealers, by Great
ing a demand for more houses,
the butchers, the grocers, the
dry goods and clothing mer-
chants, and in fact every other
business man would profit. 1t
would add to the city's reve-
nues for needed municipal inn
provements, and enlarge the
school funds.
When the quality is as good,
the service as satisfactory, the
price as low as that to be found
anywhere else, then we have
both business and patriotic
reason for paronizing our own
people and our own city.
Failure to patronize home in
iustries is due, for the most
part, not so much to indiffer-
ence as to ignorance. Many of
IS do not know that we can get
.hings at home as good or
better than abroad.
