donated from one dollar up to twenty

There are at present twelve directors
of this chapter of the Red Cross and il
is expected that number will be ma
terially increased by further accept
ances in the near future.
While a great majority Of the mem
bers have been obtained through the
activity of the Inland Steel officials. yet
the spirit Of the organization has spread
among merchants ard individuals as
well. nearly every one at all interested
in public life in that end of the city
having voluntarily taken upon them
selves the work OF increasing the mem
bership.
In each city precinct there has been
chosen team captain and workers and
these captains held a meeting last night
to review their work and plan for the
remaining days in the campaign.
Mrs J. c. Dixon. the secretary is
literally swamped with the magnitude
of the work that has suddenly devolved
upon her. Although giving almost all
of her time 10 this enterprise she is
constantly behind in the work of her
office.
1t is remarkable showing which prob
ably finds few counterparts anywhere in
the country.

Horrors Of War.

One of Germany's most noted sur
geons, who has spent months at the
front and In hospital service, In writ
ing of the effect of the terrible strain
of war as depicted upon the faces Of
those released from the firing line,
says: physically these soldiers may
be as hard as iron, yet they are not
intact. The officers nearly always de-
velop an uncanny, marble, staring look,
as though they had been accustomed
to gaze shudderingly at all the terrors
and desolating orgies Of destruction,
as though they had been obliged to wit
ness this with unblinklng eyes and
finally felt that their eyes had become
n mirror of the horrible. 1t Is as though
the claw of demon had seized their
faces and made their eyes sink deeper
into their. hollows. The more highly
civilized n man Is, the better educated,
the deeper his feelings, the more does
he bear the indefinable something in
his face, the sign that he has seen ter
rible things Advocate.

French Woman Farmers.

Among the war recompenses that
will be handed down with greatest
pride from generation to generation in
French families are the diplomas, now
framed and hanging on the walls of
many a farmhouse attesting how the
peasant woman and farmers wives,
widows and daughters overcame war
difficulties.
The actual cash returns will equal a
record year in time of peace, though,
excepting oats and potatoes, the yield
was below the average.
This country of Brie, which is gen.
orally second only to the Beauce in
wheat production and first of all for
oats, stands at the head of both, yet
this crop was sown almost entirely
by women, girls and boys too young
or men too old to shoulder the rifle.
German prisoners of war, volunteers
from the camps of interned civilian
Austrians and Germans, a few terri
torials on leave, good many Partisan
schoolboys and, last, but not least, the
American self-binder, helped with the
harvest; but with the exception of
the self-binder, the help was available
only In scattered spots.
