WAR PICTURES real,
SAYS WOUNDED MAN
Private Covert Sees Battle Fought
Over on Screen.

Private Covert. the Washington boy
who left The Herald ONCE to enlist
In Canadian battalion-the Eighty
sixth-two years ago, and now has
returned on furlough during conval-
escence. visited the Canadian war ex-
hibit at Rauscher's last night and
was thrilled by the wonderful pictures
OF actual scenes in France.
Many Of the boys who fought at
Vimy Ridge are in the pictures" said
Private Covert. 'It was like meeting
old friends. These pictures are the
most remarkable have seen since
returning to this country. wish
everybody could see them and find out
what this war means.
The boys on the Somme front are.
many Of them. the same ones who
later Joined the Twenty-nipth Ar
Vimy Ridge"
Like all returned soldiers, Private
Covert Is averse to talking of battles
and Of battle fields. All he would
say was Money couldn't buy the
experience I've had-and IL Uncle Sam
wants me I'm ready to 60 back"
Private Covert still has pieces Of
shrapnel In his shoulder and in his
head. He will return to Canada soon
to enter the base hospital, where he
VIII undergo an operation which IL
Is believed will restore his hearing.

LOANS To FARMERS
Reach VAST sum
Nearly twenty-five Million Placed
During Past Month.

| Uncle Sans new plan of loaning
money to the farmers of the coun-
try appears to be working out nice
ly. A report made by the Federal
loan board shows that In the twelve
districts loans applied for during
the month of September reached 81, =
s04, 900. and that the amount OF loans
approved during that month total
ed E5,s23.Ooo.
The amount OF loans closed dur
ing the month reached s5.244. 600. The
total amount OF loans applied for
since the board came into existence
is given at s1s7. ISL. 900. OF which dis
trict No. . heads the list with 81,
COS, 600.
Statements of the loan board Of
ficals are to the effect that little
complaint is found over the ap-
praiSAls set by Uncle Sans agents.
Here and there 1t is said that in
surance companies can be found to
outstrip the national institution In
size of loans made on certain pieces
of land, but the Federal officials do
not allow that to embarass them.

Thousands OF the new national army
will never fire at q German enemy.
The army Is to be one Of specialists.
This was accumulated yesterday In
the dispatch Of British labor com
mission through the country by Sec
rotary Baker to tell Of the needs of
backing up the fighters behind the
lines.
In addition to the thousands OF
heavy artillerymen, ammunition car
Iriers, road makers. foresters, mechan-
ics. and other subsidiary troops who
will never sec the enemy against
which they are lighting, It Is likely
that thousands of men will be re-
tanned also in this country for work
in the munitions factories and the
dockyards.

the National Guard. where they will
fill up the ranks Of the militia regi-
\ ments. These men will surely see
service-and see It soon. The rest
will be assorted according to their
abilities. Many. regiments of them
will be developed into fighters. but
many others will remain behind the
lines"
Survey Well Under Way.
The vocational survey of the ma
tional army II now well under way.
according to reports at the War De-
partment, and the men suited to spe-
cial occupations will be made useful
in them az rapidly as they can be
sorted out.
The infantryman and his rife will
still be the mainstay of the fighting
iforce-though about one out Of every
ten rifles will be q machine rife or
a bomb-thrower. Back of these men
will be an ever-increasing number Of
auxiiiaries.

expected an increase In number Of APP
phcants for help over last. The in
crease, he saio, will be among the
families Of the poor. the wages of
whose bread-winner has not kept pace
with the soaring cost of living.
The annual report of the Central
UniGn Mission, which viii be complet-
ed soon. shows that for the fiscal year
ending September 90, S12,700.73 was ex-
pended by the Mission. OF this amount
s2.eS.lS was paid out in salaries. Net
proceeds of the industries of the mis-
sion amounted to $3,s17.32
There were $3.50 meals served I'm
the dining-room of the Mission at a
cost Of ten and fifteen cents per meal.
and 1854 free meals were given. The
daily bread line during the year. gave
to the poor $3.50 gallons of stew, 2g5
gallons Of coffee; s.34s loaves of bread
and 5,766 sandwiches.
Employment was found for Z, 7os per-
sons. and 81 families were given as
distance. On Thanksgiving, Christmas
and New Years Day, 1,75s baskets.
each containing a chicken or small
turkey, were given to needy families.
Many Are Converted.
There were 1,1Ss professed CONVEX
sions during the year the report de-
clares.
In the children's home at As c street
northwest. there are now twenty
four children and six mothers who
are being cared for.
Ad1utant w. F. Hartlett, of the
salvation Army, said he expected no
decrease In the numbers of families
needing help. While many families
have increased incomes others have
received no addition to the family
purse and the vastly increased cost
OF LIES necessities will force a great
er number to seek outside help.
In order to meet the increased cost
OF supplies the Salvation Army will
not give the free Thanksgiving din
ner 1t has in previous years and the
number Of baskets sent to families
Will be held down to those in actual
need. There will be no cut in either
the number Of baskets sent out to
families on Christmas and New
Years nor In the dinners given on
those days.
Officials Of the ORGANIZATIONS de-
elared that the same amount of help
extended to the needy the coming
year would add at least Is per cent
to the costs to the ORGANIZATIONS
Coal, It was pointed out, has taken a
large jump In price and shoes have

Problems-Drop Thanksgiving Dinner

Need OF help among the poor of
Washington this year win equal. IL II
Is not greater, than that OF previous
years, according to the opinion ex-
pressed by officials of three of the
city's Charitable organizations. While
wages ia many lines OF work have
been raised, they said, In many cases
It has not equalled the mounting cost
OF living. This rise in wages, they
pointed out, has affected only GER
tain classes of workers, and many
Of the poor have to try to make ends
meet with the same amount Of money
they found scarcely sufficient before
the great jump In the necessaries Of
LIE. The need Of help among this
class will more than equal the elm

which has been absorbed In the gen.
