U. S. RED CROSS FIGHTING
tuberculosis IN France
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Children's
relief in France by the American Red
Cross now includes a campaign against
tuberculosis and children's diseases. A
childrens hospital has also been opened
at Iuul by the Yankee nurses.
A cablegram describing the work OF
the American children's bureau gives a
fresh insight to German frightfulness.
The little town of Nesle was looted.
The American doctor found more
than 1900 children there practically
with no medical care, all miserably
dirty and one-half Of whom were infect
ed with skin or eye LESSONS. The report
continues:
"The equipment for any medical care
was extremely meager; one old hospital
stripped OF all its apparatus one aged
civilian doctor left without drugs or
means Of getting them, villages to look
after besides his army duties. Twas an
acute situation.
''Nesle Immediately offered a tuber-
culosis pavilion il the American Red
Cross would help. The doctors recon-
mendations upon his return were Inn
mediately accepted.
"The Children's Bureau began work
by installing a central depot at Nesle
with ten beds as a clearing house for
! the district, and by equlpping an au-
l tomobilc as a travelling dispensary, with
| shower baths. The car visits the vii
lagos on a daily round with one gooc
trained nurse and two aides

OF tho Allied cause Last February Sir
Edward Carson, then First Lord OF the
AdHlralty, gave some statistics relating
to the work Of transport since the be-
Ginning OF the war. The Premier has
now corrected these figures to the pres
'ent day. showing that SO far the total
number Of troops moved across the
seas amounts to no less than i3,OOO,OOO
men, Of whom only 200 were lost
through the action Of the enemy. More
over. the navy has insured the safe
transportation Of 100000 horses and
mules, 25,0OO,00O tons Of explosives and
supplies and 5i,0o0Oo0 tons Of coal and
oil.
1t is by such achievements that the
success Of the navy may be properly
measured, but because the working OF
this great force is not visible men over
look It or accept IL as a sort OF natural
endowment, as something independent
Of human effort. And so It is with the
pressure exerted by the same force on
the German fleet. II is the very rare
evasions that attract attention, while
the constant Watchfulness that has
paralyzed German traffic for more than
three years is taken for granted as q
normal condition not deserving Of any
/ particular notice. We see this whenever
some little local success by the Ger.
mans is recorded. Why. IL is asked In.
dignantly, is the initiative always OF
! The German side2 The many failures
are overlooked, the constant vigilanc'
required on the other side is forgotten

WAR MAY INCREASE
 COST OF "MOVIES'
Theater Managers Trying to Solve Puzzle of Who Will Pay
 Extra Tax.

Within the next few days the man. agers of local motion picture the- aters will get together and decide what action they intend to take in reference to the new federal tax which becomes effective on November whether the patrons will have to pay an extra tax of one, two or three cents when they go to the movies.
 Under the war tax bill which Is soon to go into effect, special tax of one cent is to be collected for every ten cent admission ticket sold. A tax of two cents for every 20 cent ticket is to be levied and a three cent tax is provided for 25 and 30 cent tickets.
 George Levitt, manager of the Ly- ceum theater, stated today that neither he nor the other local pro- prietors have fully decided what to do, but there are two steps open. One is to continue giving high grade pie lures and charge the additional tax at the box office; the other IS to con- tinue on the present scale of rats1, the managers paying the tax out of their own receipts but exhibiting a cheaper grade of pictures. Tt is en- tirely up to the public. The people are constantly demanding better grade of pictures and if these are to be shown they will have to pay. Otherwise cheaper pictures will have to be shown and we will pay the tax out of the admission fee," MT. Levitt states.
