THE AMERICAN
 AMBULANCE

While there are some Frenchmen who are inclined to criticise the Unit ed States because of the stand it's government has taken in the war, they are not to be found among the benef1ciaries of the American Ambu- lance. The treatment of the sick and wounded by the physicians and nurses of this great humanitarian in stitution has been such that every patient who is discharged goes forth singing the praises of America and Americans. Under the patronage Of Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, the American Ambulance was established early in the war. and it's work has grown until the great hospital at NeuilIy, near Paris, has become one
 of the foremost institutions of it's kind in the war area Many of the worst cases are sent here, and hum dreds of shattered wreckS of human ity have not only been restored to health and strength, but, through the performance of marVels in surgery, their mutilated and repu1siVe faces have again been made tolerable to the eyes of their fellows That is one of the gris1y horrors of war-that mutfIation of the face which, if the victim survives, is calculated to make him 9 thing of horror unless the sur geon comes to his aid. Worse than death is that shattering and tearing of the features to many men, and the American surgeons, realizing this, have performed seeming miracles of what is called ''plastic facial surgery Men are brought to them with their lower faces shot away, and they are patched together until their faces, a1- though scared are again normal. Soldiers have been given artificial jaws, noses, chins, lips, roofs to their mouths-in fact, by delft and cunning surgery, new features are actually built for them, and they are saved from a, future in which they would otherw: SC be walking nightmares, ob- iacts of horror.

THE HOSTS OF
 SALVATION

An army with millions of soldiers in ffty-eight countries and colonies who speak thirty-eight different larf- guages-such is the great force pre- sided over by General w. BramwelI Booth, the commander in chief of the Salvation Army. General Booth, the son of the founder of the worldwide organization of militant Christianity will pass his sixtieth milestone to- day, as he was born in Halifax, March 8, 1856. He was in his tenth year when Rev. William Booth founded the. London mission which was des- tined to grow into a great interna- tional organization At the age of eighteen Bramweil Booth commence ed his public work under the direc- ton of his father, and in 1880 he was appointed chief of staff of the Salvation Army, a position he held until the death of his father resulted in his accession to the leadership In 1882 he married Miss Soper, who soon afterward became the leader of the women's social work of the army, and who gave him seven children, two sons and five daughters.
 Although the Salvation Army, for all its nilitancy, is as always a pure ly religious and social organizati on many of it's members in Great Brit tain and other countries and colonies of the empire have gone to the front while those who have remained be- hlno nave taken an active part in re- lief work among the soldiers and their families and the refugees from Belgium and northern France.
 A movement very close to the heart of the leader Of the hosts of salvation is that which proposes to erect me- morials to the late General Booth in the various countries where the Sal vation Army is established. An ar my training college to cost half a million dollars will be erected in New York and a considerable sum has already been raised. A similar school is proposed for Chicago, and others in London, India, Canada and other parts of the British empire
 One of the great works undertaken by the Salvation Army in America. and in which General Booth has shown great interest, has for it's ob- ject the cleaning up of the city sIurns great centers of population to settle by inducing the surplus men of the the training schools are established on farms. It is believed that when the expert leaders will be able to in- duce thousands of men to gof to the country, and provide them with tho means of getting start in their new enVironme

THAR AND FEATHERS

The first t'tar and feathers party in America was held at BalIerica, Mass, 161 years ago to-day, March 8, TITS, when a number of British sol diers seized ''rebeI'' inhab bitant cf that town, stripped off his clothing, and applied to his body a coat of tar, Sfterward adding a number of feath- CTS for their decorative effect. This wantcn act aroused great indigna- ton among the ''rebels,' and corres- bonding elation among the Tories" There was something about this nov el mode of punishment which made an instant appeal, and soon tar and feather parties became popular. At first the victims were usually the op- ponents of the British rule, but a s:s- tie later the 1oyalists were the under dogs'' and many of them were given, coats of tar before being sent out of the country. After the revolution the old aninosity gradually died down, but the tar and feather treat ment for moral ob1iquity persisted, and was frequently applied to women of bad character by indignant mem bers of their own sex. The practice is happily now well nigh forgotten, although within recent years there

THE CORNERSTONE
 OF PROSPERITY

Advocates of military ffprepared- ness'' are pointing to the Federal Re- serve Banking System as an example of the success of preparedness as ap- piled to business and finance It is contended that the present prosperity of the United States dates from the mobilization of the nations credit and banking power by the installation of the new banking system. It went into effect soon after the war in Europe began and, according to general belief enabled the United States to meet the business crisis caused by the war
 Under this new system, your sav- ings, mine and those of the other fel- low and of all other American citizens are united and put to the uses of all of us in common for financial "de- fense.' William P. Malburn, first as sistant secretary of the treasury, de- scribes the personal service rendered by the reserve system thus:
 'Your bank need never close it's doors while it has it's portfolio filled with good loans, because of insufficient money in the vaults to pay depositors who are demanding their money. If a solvent merchant or manufa cturer, you will not be obliged to close your place of business and perhaps be stamped as a bankrupt because your bank for some peculiar and temporary reason lacks the cash to give you a loan on your good assets. If you have a job in 9 factory, you are no longer exposed to the danger of loss of em- ployment, because your employers bank is unable to provide cash for the pay rolls.
 t'In all these situations and a mu1- titude of others, now, the member banks of the Federal Reserve System, when money is needed, take the good ufacturers to the Federal Reserve Reserve notes which are obligations of the United States government.
 These notes are probably safer than any paper money ever devised. When the Reserve Banks issue these notes they are required to hold in their vaults gold to an amount equal to 40 per cent. of the face of the note, so that they may be able to redeem them if they are presented for pay ment. The notes have the govern ment and 40 per cent. gold behind them. National bank notes. which have never fallen below par in the 50 years of their existence, have only per cent. in gold or lawful money behind them.
 '"This means an end of panics. With member banks of the Federal Reserve System able to pay out over their counters these Federal Reserve notes in practically limit1ess volume, the suspension of payment and of loans that took place in 1897 and 1903, can never be repeated
