The Children's Bureau In the De-
partment of Civil Affairs of the Red
Cross Commission to France received
ar appeal from Nesle through Monsieur
and Madame Amedee Nernes Of the
French Red ross for aid among the
children of their district and the group
of villages to the north and west.
IN response, an expert from the
Children's Bureau. specialist in chill
drens diseases from. Johns Hopkins
Hospital, was sent Immediately to in
vestigate the conditions. He visited
the region in company with Monsieur
, Amedee Vernes and found villages
looted and burned. with all buildings
destroyed. He found more than 1000
children practically with no medical
care, all miserably dirty and one-half
of whom were infected with skin or
eyellesions. and many actually ILL.,
The equipment for any medical care
was extremely meager; one old hospi-
tai stripped of all its apparatus; one
aged civilian doctor left without drugs
OF means of getting them, villages TO
look after besides his army duties, and
one midwife fairly intelligent who
might help. Twas an acute situation.
''Nesle Immediately offered a tuber-
vulosis pavilion now unused for the
Red Cross headquarters, if the Amer
lean Red Cross would help. The doc
tors recommendation upon his return
were Immediately 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 equipping an auNo-
mobile as a travelling dispensary. with
shower baths. The cars visit the viii
I lagos on a daily round with one good
trained nurse and two aides. The ar
ngements for all this are nearing
completion and the doctor has gone
to Nesle taking enough material with
him to begin the work Immediately"

the First Maine Heavy Artillery. Out Of

brigade men are smiling and looking for

recruits, for then they know they will be
on the move to a warmer climate and will
have their work cut out for them.
Their task will be tremendous. for while
the division of which they are the reserve
is training picked men for trench fighting.
It will be necessary for these officers to
whip into shape thousands of eager boys
who never looked at a weapon of war ex-
cept through plate glass window. II

Washington, Sept. 23.-To restore to
injured longshoremen the protection of
state workmen's compensation laws, of
which they were deprived recently by
a divided opinion of the United States
Supreme Court. is the aim of bill
introduced today in the Senate by Sem
ator Hiram Johnson of California and
in the House by Congressman Warren
Gard of Ohio. Workmen engaged in
icading and unloading vessels were
placed by the opinion in the Jensen
case under maritime liability jurisdic-
ton and the Johnson Gard bill pro-
vides for an amendment to the federal
Judicial Code relating to- the jurisdic-
ton of district courts so as to save
to claimants the rights and remedies
under the workmen's compensation law
of any state.
Prominent labor. civic and official
bodies announce their support Of the
bill Gail Hamilton, legislative repre-
sentative of the American Federation
of Labor; John B. Andrews, Secretary
of the American Association for Labor
Legislation: John Mitchell, Chairman
Of the New York State Industrial
Commission; A. ]. Pillsbury. Chairman
OF the Industrial Accident Commission
OF California; and Commissioner Royal
Neeker of the United States Bureau

ing its immediate passage by Congress
as an emergency measure. Senator
Johnson. whose state is among those
most seriously affected by this situa-
ton announces that he will press for
early action TO relieve the plight of
the longshoremen. Indications are that
this bill will he placed by the admin

program.
