AMERICAN RED CROSS
SAVES CHILDREN
Takes Care of Hundreds Driven From
Home by Poison Gas Bombs of
the Vandals.

The Red Cross war council has re-
ceived the following report from Red
Cross headquarters in France:
las an example of activities in be-
half of the civil population of France,
we have established temporary chill
dren's shelter at Toul. city in a sec
ton OF the war zone recently bonn
barded by the enemy.
Gas bombs were being used by the
Germans and the inhabitants of the
nearby villages were obliged to wear
face masks to escape asphyxiation.
This mode of protection, however, is
not feasible for children, and 1t was
found necessary to send the children
away at once,
The project OF the department tele-
graphed to worker at Paris that $50
children had been suddenly thrust
upon his hands and that he needed
Immediate assistance.
THE next day eight workers left
the Red Cross headquarters. doctor,
an experienced nurse. two auxiliary
nurses. bacteriologlst, an admins
trative director and two women to take
charge of the bedding. clothing. food.
etc.
They found that twenty-one OF the
children were infants under one year
and the remainder were under eight
years. They were herded together in
an old barracks, dirty. practically un-
furnished and with no sanitary appli-
ances. Sick children were crowded in
With the well and skin diseases and
vermin ahounded.
within two days the children had
been thoroughly cleaned and trans
ferred to a new and clean barracks,
Medical care had been given and
nurses secured for the babies. suitab BILE
food provided and n classification OF
all the refugees made to prevent the
separation of members of the same
family. The organization OF an insti-
tuition for the care of these children
has been worked out.
The French Rovernrn emit hes pro-
vided a new brick barracks of ten
buildings. situated on a hillside mile
from Toul. and will furnish coal. wa
ter, light. rough labor. beds and bed
ding. ratfons and transportation OF
supplies.
The Red Cross is 70 dfrect the
work OF supplying doctors, nurses and
administrative officers. and Of install
ing sanitary apparatus. Twelve show
er baths have already been set up,
Supplies are being provided for recre-
alton. education and the vocational
training Of children.
'Tt Ia expected that four or Eve hun =
dred more children Will come IN the
near future, and the Red Cross is
planning TO increase tts staff to care
for thfs number The children will
be kept here as long as conditions re-
main such that they cannot return 70
their homes"

!. 5. FOREST RANGES
ARE BIG PASTURES

Washington, Sept 1.--Uncle Sam's
national forest ranges at this time
are carrying approximately 100000
more cattle and 100000 more sheep
than in ordinary years, as war
emergency measure. Ordinarily the
national forests furnish pasturage for
about 100000 cattle and horses and
100000 head OF sheep.
Exceptional weather conditions this
yer combined with general food sit
uation to create an unusual emer-
gency, calling for special provisions
to take care of the stock.
Tho national forests were opened
earlier than usual to- lessen the
uosses which the western live stock
industry faced because of severe
winter and late spring, which ex-
hausted tha- hay supply ttf4el forced
use of spring ranges before they
reachad their normal state.

ClARES j. 5. NEEDS
NEW AIRCRAFT BOARD
by MORRIS SHEPPARD,
Senator from Texas.

Written for the International News
Service.)
Washington, Sept. The creation
of an aircraft board has been made
necessary by the demonstrated i'm
portance of the aeroplane In modern
warfare by the appropriation OF more
than 800, 900 for the construction
Of military air machines and by the
need of paying especial attention 10
tho task of producing an enormous
feet of aircraft within less than a
year
Existing agencies in the various
departments. competent and active as
they are, are unable to superintend
and complete this vast enterprise. 1t
is necessary to establish a board of
experts and business men, whose spe-
ciai function It wifi be to coordinate
existing sources OF aircraft supplies,
standardi8e both the factories them
selves in all parts ofthe country and
the various parts OF the needed ma
chinery, and create new sources OF
production.
This board WIN not interfere in
any way with the functions OF mill
tary and naval authorities, but res
Jurisdiction will end after the neces-
sary numbe OF machines has been
produced. Furthermore, 1t Will fall
ardlze machines not only for the
United States. but for all our arlies.
or at least to take u leading part
along this line. This board must be
given a legal status that 1t may ex-
ercise the necessary influence and
have the proper prestige among our
allies
Il may be surprising to know that
HH4t+l-i last -! Art thee government,
which constituted the principal source
of danand for aircraft, had ordered
less than 100 machines. and that I'M
til a few months ago there were very
few factories in the country making
more than very few machines.
This VIII give some idea of the
task confronting us now, namely, to
produce thousands upon thousands of
these machines within the next few
months, 10 develop motors which
shall be technically superior TO those
In operation by our enemies and
which shall prove. the determining
factor in ending the war in our
favor.
Moreover, commercial and other
uses are developing In connection
with the aeroplaue industry. Already
the aeroplane has demonstrated it's
usefulness in life saving work on the
coast by the coast patrol, in flghtinR
fires in great cities and along
wharves and in carrying the mails;
in fact there is no limit to what
may be done along this line. The
air is to he the principal arena of
development both In war and in
peace.
