SHOULD SELL SHIPS SEIZED DURING WAR
 SEAMENS' OPINION

LONDON, Oct. Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Vessels cap tured or seized by Great Britain from her enemies during the war lin resti- tuition for the destruction and plunder of the countries and shipping of the allies," should be sold and the pro ceeds applied as part of the war in demnity, in the opinion of the com- mittee of Members Of the Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom and of the Liverpool Steamship Owners Association This committee was ap- pointed to ascertain what Great Brit aims trade policy should be after the conclusion of the war They recom- ment that the funds derived from the sale of enemy vessels taken in war should not be applied to reimburse British shipping owners or under writers for lost ships but should go to the general indemnity fund.
 The committee asserts that, in de- termining Britain's trade policy to be adopted after the war. it should be the first care of the state to do nothing to imperil the "pre-emiileilt position the United Kingdom holds in the inter- national trade of the world"

IA PER CENT OF ELK DIE DURING WINTERS
 ACCORDING CENSUS
(AssOcidted Pvs8S)

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 2.-There are 19,345 elk in the the three principal bands in Montana-Gardiner, Gallatin and Madison-according to the report of the federal government. received by State Game Warden DeHart. The national parks service and the forestry service cooperated with the state game warden last spring in making the census.
 Twenty-two men were engaged in the count, made in April and May and many hardships were encountered in effecting it. Most of the work was done in snowshoes. and the men en- countered rain and snowstorms and at times storms that approached bliz- gard intensity. They established main camps and worked out from them. spending the night oftentimes where darkness overlook them.
 The count was made to determine the extent of losses among the elk last winter, to furnish a basis on which the government might arrange for winter pasturage Losses since the previous season, on account Of heavy snows, were estimated at 14 per cent.

SOME RED CROSS WORK
 IN FRANCE

WASHINGTON, Oct, 1.-What is being accomplished by the tmerican Red Cross for the children of France is indicated in the following cable just received from Major Grayson M.-P. Murphy, Red Cross Commissioner to France:
 The medical work for children which the American Red Cross has un- dertaken at Toul had it's formal open' ing in the presence of the prefect of the Department, two generals of the French Army, the Sehatsf of the De- partment and several American doc- tors and nurses. The French and American flags were raised in front of the new brick barracks given by the French government for the child ren's refuge. The Prefect's warmly thanked the American Red Cross for it's help with the children.
 The new staff. consisting of sev. eral specialists in children's diseases and fifteen nurses and aides, are at work under the direction of pr. Sedg- wick, Professor of Pediatrics in the University of Minnesota. A large dis trict back of the lines at that point has been forced to remove all children to places of greater safety, and several hundred children at Pompey and Fouard, the towns nearby which are under almost constant bomb attack, have been examined and are being removed from their refuge in caves to the Asile at Foul as quickly as pos sible.
 The work of the infirmary estab- lished by the American Red Cross has been greatly augmented by the gift of Children's Hospital from an Am. erican Committee. This hospital of eighty beds is already being equipped and will become the center of the Am erican Red Cross welfare for the en. tire Department at Meurthe ct Mo selle, a work heartily endorsed by the Prefect of the Department.
 The need of such work is over whelming, and the American Red Cross is directing from this center at Foul an educational campaign on Child Fly giene and Preventive Measures that is reaching all the villages and big refuge asylums for children at Nan. cy and Pompey and other neighbor- ing towns"
