PLANS Of RED CROSS
AT army environments
All Duplication Of Work to Be
Avoided in Caring for
Soldiers.

The part that the Red Cross will play
in the sixteen big environments is being
worked out by the war council in con-
ferences with officials Of the Army Medical
Corps, the Y. NJ C. A and the Knights
Of Columbus. All duplication Of ac-
tivities is to be avoided, and the Red
Cross will provide in every way for the
health and comfort Of the soldiers called
into the army where some other agency
has not already done this work ade-
quately.
! What will be done in each camp will
vary with the climate and local needs.
Swimming pools will be built and the
local Red Cross chapters will be organized
to provide for the entertainment OF the
soldiers Saturdays and Sundays. when
they are relieved from camp discipline.
Extensive sanitation work is to be car
ried on in cooperation with the Medical
Corps of the Army.
The Red Cross will appropriate a large
sum of money to provide for the families
and dependent relatives of men called into
service of the country. but this will be
carefully administered, with investigations
made so that the contributions of the
American people will go to relieve needy
cases and suffering rather than be wasted
through improper safeguards.
The country nursing service will be
called upon to care for the medical atten-
ton that any families Of the soldiers may
need.
The civilian relief work Of the Red Cross
has been carefully organized to carry
on tremendous work. and be ready to
care for all the cases that really need as
sistance.

URGES FRENCH SYSTEM
TO MARKET PRODUCTS
Senator Gronna Says Food Passes
Through Too Many Hands and
Should Be Auctioned.

Senator Gronna Of North Dakota has
advocated the adoption OF the French
system of marketing products through
licensed auctioneers or commission
men whose charges are fixed by the
government. as a solution of marketing
problems and increasing high prices Of
food in the District of Columbia. He
believes that such a system should be
extended to other parts of the coun-
try, too.
I'VE know" said Senator Gronna.
that the foodstuffs are passing
through too many hands today, and
that each takes its toll. A very much
smaller number of distributors could
do the business in Washington. and II
the number were decreased they would
not have to charge such high prices.
AS it Is, they have to charge high
prices to come out whole. Too many
men are trying to make living out or
the distribution Of food. and they are
doing business on very small scale.
I'VE know the remedy for the eViis
of the present system. II is only a
question of applying the remedy. IL

Present Conditions Aiding Germany.

At least one food expert. who has
been on the ground in Germany. is of
the opinion that Germany can hold out
indefinitely as far as food is concerned
ed under present conditions. His views
are understood to be before the Presi-
dent now.
The present situation includes an en-
barge against shipments to the Scandi-
navian countries, and an embargo
against certain kinds OF exports to Hol-
land.
Officials here who have been pleased
with this embargo take the view tina,
the government will adopt the embargo
as a policy and that diplomatic notes
to the various nations affected will
soon be dispatched. and that this ac-
ton will mean the initiation of a strict
war policy in regard to neutrals.
