RED CROSS REHABILITATING WAR
 DESOLATED RIBBONS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Perman- ent buildings of a modern type to sup plant the tents and temporary struc- lures now occupied by Red Cross base hospitals in France are urgently need ed before the winter sets in, accord ing to cables received from Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, Red Cross Commissioner to France, who has cab led the Red Cross War Council to ship quantities of building materials at once.
 Increased suffering, owing espec- ially to the shortage of coal, will re- suit unless structures built to with stand the cold can be erected before the rigors of a French winter grip the country. The problem is so se- rious in France, owing to the scarcity of timber, that Major Murphy cabled for the immediate shipment of two million feet of fir.
 Giant fir trees are now being felled on the banks of the Columbia river, in Oregon and Washington, and hurried ly loaded aboard a ship waiting to carry the lumber through the Panama canal to New York, where two com plete portable saw mills will be taken on, as well as other building material, before the ship sails for France.
 The supplies requested by Major Murphy include four concrete mixers, four portable rock crushers and port able engines, two gasoline tractors to be used in the construction work. These will be taken aboard at New York There are already a number of expert engineers with the Red Cross comnis- sion to France who will superintend the erection of the new hospital build ings.
 The American Red Cross now has more than a dozen base hospitals in France, each equipped with at least five hundred beds, and each in charge of twenty-two physicians, two den tists, sixty-five Red Cross nurses and '15O enlisted men of the medical corps. Additional doctors and nurses have been sent to a number of the hospitals.
 H. P. Davidson, Chairman of the Red Cross War Council, announces the receipt of the following cable from the Red Cross Commission to France: I "Along the desolate path of ruin behind the French and British lines from Belgium to Switzerland, the Am erican Red Cross work of relief and economic rehabilitation under Edward Eyre Hunt, Chief of the Bureau, has rapidly taken shape. Returning ref ugees and repatriates have earth un- der them and sky over them, that is all. The land has been swept clean.

Twentieth Century Frenchmen have to begin again where North American Indians would begin-by hunting for food, temporary shelter, few clothes to cover them, hand ful of household goods and utensils such as pots, pans, knives and spoons an agricultural implement or two and perhaps a rabbit and some chickens, and, if they are very lucky, a goat or a donkey.
 "It is to help such people as these that the American Red Cross has To- cated it's relief warehouses at stra- getic points just behind the lines, such as Soissons, Noyon, Ham and Per onne, and is shipping in food, clothes, blankets, beds, mattresses, stoves, kit chen utensils, reapers and binders, moving machines, threshing machines garden-tools and hundreds of other ar ticles of prime importance to people who were prosperous and eontented only three years ago. The services of relief and economic rehabilitation has divided it's field into six districts:
 "One for the extreme north and Pas De Calais; one for the Somme; one for the Disc; one for the Aine; One for the Marne and Mouse; one for Meurthe Mosell.
 Resident American delegates have been assigned to these whose duties are to oversee distribution of relief, to report new needs, and to cooperate in every possible way with the admir- able relief work of the French Govern ment and scores of devoted French and other organizations"

he said:
 Religion is absolutely necessary in a state, but it would not be very wise in king to have any religion himself. Should it be necessary to make a treaty with other powers, if we re- member that we are Christians, we are undone; all would be over with us. As to war, it is a trade in which the least scruple would spoil everything.
 Do not suffer yourself to be dazz- led with the word justice, it is a word that has different relations and is sus- ceptible of different constructions.
 'l understand by this word (politict) that we are ever to try to create oth- CTS. This principle being established, never be ashamed of making alliances, and of being yourself the only party that draws advantages from them. Do not commit that stupid fault of not abandoning them whenever it is to your interest to do so.
 Have you a mind to pass for a hero? Make boldly your approaches to crime.
 "It is good policy to be perfectly persuaded that we have a right to everything that suits us.
 "When Prussia shall have made her fortune, it will be time enough for her to give herself an air of fidelity to en- agreements, an air which, at the most, becomes none but great states or lit- tie sovereigns."
 How faithfully and effectively the present emperor has followed these precepts of "Old Fritz" the world knows only too well.
