Thousands Near Saloniki
Aided by Red Cross

Among the largest of war relief
works being carried on at the pres
ent time are camps for homeless
thousands of persons in and around
Saloniki, which were started by DR..
Edward w. Ryan, head of the
American Red Cross in that region.
There are 10000 sufferers camping
out in tents which have been set UP.
While the Saloniki conflagration was
still raging DIR. Ryan set up soup
kitchens, and within twelve houls of
the start of the fire he was feeding
$500 people. The Allied military
authorities came in later, and the
work has been kept up ever since,
with English, French and Americans
cooperating.
The problem now is what to do
when the Macedonian winter sets in
and the tents are no longer habit
able. The afflicted people are in 81
hopelessly improvident state of
mind. They are wretched lot,
having lost everything in the fire,
and they refuse to do a stroke of
work for themselves. There are
many old women and children and
hundreds Of nursing babies living in
the tents.
In the baby's nursery Red Cross
nurses bathe the children, with boy
scouts as helpers. According to a
late report not a baby had died at
one of the camps which was inspec-
ted. In spite of the circumstances
there also was little sickness in this

Firestone Adopts New
Wheel Sales Policy

A new policy in the sale of de-
mountable rims and wheels for Ford
cars has been adopted by the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber Company, of
Akron, Ohio, and has already found
favor with the jobbers throughout
the country.
Formerly these sales have been
made, through Firestone branches, to
both jobbers and retail dealers. I'm
der the new plan the Firestone COM
pany's sales force will still push the
sales of wheels equipped with Fire
stone Demountable Rims, but their
orders will be turned over direct to
the jobbers, who thus hold control
of much larger and better market.
The sales campaign, added by the
national advertising of the company,
brings the trained experts of the
manufacturer to the direct aid of
the individual jobber.
From reports we have already
received, we believe that this new
plan will be extremely successful" ;"
comments A. G.. Partridge, general
sales manager of the Firestone Com
pany.
I'm addition to the direct value to
the jobber. there is n great saving
of lost motion in shipments to and
from the branches, as well as q do
ing of ones bit in relieving the
heavy strain upon the transportation
systems of the coutry."

VIGOROUS ARMY
OF NETHERLANDS
SEVER GROWING
Fresh and Formidable Force
Has Not Yet Fired Single
Shot in World War

The Hague, Netherlands, Dec. IA.
Correspondence of The Associated
Press) Only some two days march
north of the battle arena in Flan-
ders stands a formidable army, in
tact, fresh and vigorous, that has
not yet fired shot in the great war
1t is the army of the Netherlands.
That army is ever growing. Tho
work of training began feverishly
back in August, 1914, and it has
been carried on without break ever
since in all parts of the country. a
special law was passed some two
years slnce greatly widening the
circle of those liable to service, with
the result that all the men under
arms on August /, 1914, have been
relieved by newly-trained men and
sent home, though they can be re-
called to the colors Immediately
should occasion arise.
That the country's military lead
ers have no intention to rest on their
oars after the achievement is shown
by bill that has just reached par
lament providing for a -eXamina-
ton of all men of the Landsturn
born since 1885 who had been re-
jected for one reason or another.
This measure is expected to yield n
very substantial amount of fresh
human material.
How large a mass of trained men
Holland could now place in the field
is easily discernible. There is flrst
the army that was modified in the
days of the wars outbreak. probably
not far short of quarter of a mil
lion men, and now all at home on
indefinite leave. Then there Is the
new army, now under arms, or q
like size. Moreover, there is u very
considerable body of men who, prior
to 1914. had finished their period
Of fifteen years in militia. Landwehr
and Landsturm, but who are subject
to call should occasion require.
Half Million Available
This should bring the number OF
trained men available to half a mil
lion men and possibly we'll over that
number, constituting a far more for
midable and probably better-trained
fighting force than the Netherlands
! has ever before possessed in her his
| tory.
In equipment, too, the Neither
lands army has made great strides
during the past three years. The
ammunition industry has been re-
| organized and enormously extended
| The artillery arm, in which the
country was notoriously weak, has
been reinforced insofar as material
was obtainable. Some guns are on
order. The delivery of anti-aircraft
guns is also in course of execution
| Serious efforts are being exerted
| to improve Hollands aerial service
A reorganization is contemplated
$1,000, 900 and $1,000, 900. The new
scheme provides for fifteen airplane
divisions comprising fifty-eight bat
tie planes and sixty-six scouting
| planes. Despite Germany's own big
needs, the arrival of a dozen ma
| chimes from that country was re-
ported a few days ago.
