Pershing's Protest Led to
Changes, Is General Belief

Washington, Dec. 20. - Vigorous
protests from General Pershing
against the insufficient support given
him and his soldiers in France by the
War Department eliminating finally
in a virtual demand that there be a
reorganization of the ordnance and
quartermaster's bureau, is one of the
immediate causes OF the changes
made in those institutions by the sec
retary of war.
The information which has reached
members of the Senate is that Cen
eral Pershing has been so short of
supplies, including arms and ammu-
milton, that he notified the War De-
partmenI that he could not send his
men to the front until there were
manifestations of better support from
his home government.

ed in any noticeable way, although
the prices have shot up. The candy
stores are having an EXCEPTIONAL
year; from morning to night the
stores are crowded with patrons.
The people of this nation spend far
more money for candy than do the
people or ALL other nations COM
bined.
The demand for CANDY was never
so great and this is explained part
" BY the curtailment of the liquor
traffic. Men who never cared for
sweets have now taken to the habit.
Another cause is that candy has be-
come regular article in the daily
dietary. One great candy concern
in New York sells $50 pounds each,

OF the management was that Girls

service, for which the demand has
grown greatly in the last few weeks,
IL is the purpose of the committee to
investigate every case where there is
likely to be distress of any kind be-
cause of the absence of the man from
home, and wherever it is necessary
funds from the chapter will be ex-
pended, either as loans or outright
grants to families. There will be nu-
merous cases in which the allotted
soldiers pay, together with the Gov
ernment's allowance. will not be suf-
ficient for the family to keep up it's
accustomed standard of living. Be-
cause the man of the family is usu-
ally the one who takes care of the
business details of the home, there
are likely to be many problems in
which those who remain at home will
need help.
Expert Worker
In carrying out the program of the
committee. Miss Helen S. Leib, of
New Cumberland, who has just fin
ished six weeks training course in
the Red Cross Home Service Institute
at Philadelphia, has been secured as
the social worker for the committee.
She will visit the families who may
be reported to the Red Cross as in
any kind of need, and will direct the
efforts of the committee in meeting
the,needs as they arise.
The committee has already received
number of requests from the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance at Wash
ington. to investigate the cases of
families in this city who have writ
ten in to the bureau asking for as
sistance. This is an excellent indica-
ton that the Government at Wash
ington is depending on the Red Cross
in the work at home as we'll as across
the sea. Miss Leib has taken up
these cases for the committee, learned
the facts and has shown the wife just
how to go about the matter of secur-
ing the Government allowance. In
one or two cases better positions
were found for the women left at
home, so that they would be more
Independent. 1t is the purpose of
the committee to do constructive
work among these families, helping
them to help themselves, giving ad-
vice where needed, and in general
doing whatever the case seems to
warrant.
Special Committee
A special committee of the Home
Service section, known as the consul
tation committee, which is intended
to represent all types of citizens and
callings. has been appointed to assist
in advising in all Legal matters, Army
and Navy regulations, nursing prob
lens, school problems, medical prob
lens, etc. This committee consists of
the following; Mrs. William Jennings,
chairman; Miss Mary Cameron, DR.. j.
B. McAllister, Miss Mildred Astrich.
Captain Il. Laubenstein, Miss Mary
Miller, Francis ]. Brady, Lieutenant
Danforth. NJ S. NJ; Mrs. L. 2. Gross,
Spencer G. Naumann, Miss Anne Nc

ecutive Committee consists of Mrs. NJ.

The committee especially desires
that anyone acquainted with families
