REPORTS ON SICK SOLDIERS.
Are to Be Given to Families Through the
Red Cross.

Full information regarding the condi

States, is to be transmitted to members
of their families by the Red Cross
through the suggestion OF Secretary OF
War Baker. The secretary submits the
plan of carrying out this work in the
following letters to the American Red
Cross: Jan 20, 1918
Gentlemen: Since the American Red
Cross has already established in France.
in accordance with an army order, a
service to keep families in America in
personal touch with their boys, i'll or
wounded in the field, ii is suggested that
this service be extended to the camps in

representatives at the camps here, as in
France, would have access to daily lists
of admissions and excavations from the
hospitals, and, so far as it is in accord
with necessary medical rules, would be
allowed to talk with sick men They
would be expected to keep families con
stantly informed as to the condition and
progress of men in the hospitals, to write
letters for men unable TO write them.

clause of the Red Cross charter which
designates the society as a medium of
communication between troops in the
field and their families at home. Cor

SHORT OF MACHINERY.
Germany's Condition Due to Shortage of
Skilled Labor.

II is becoming more and more diff
cult, says the Deutsehe Tageszeituna
(Oct. ISL, for the war economy offices
whose task it is to promote agricultur
al production, to supply sufficient ma
chinery and implements. An official an.
nouncement attributes this to the lack
of sufficient skilled workmen, and blames
the subordinate offices for not complying
with the rules for the release OF such
skilled workmen from the army.
''rhe Machinery Protection union re-
plies to this announcement that the au-
thorities are making the mistake of sup
posing that amalgamation and centrali-
cation of the manufacture Of machin-
cry can secure a sufficient supply of
machinery for the farmers. All com
pany interference with the regulation of
trade in these machines should be avoid
ed. The requirements in different dis
tricts vary so greatly that supply from
one office only is out Of the question,
Expert knowledge is needed and ac-
quaintanee with local agricultural condi-
tions.
"a requisition and distribution of the
machines in existence would be imprac-
ticable. One measure, however, is neces-
sary, j. e., to get out reliable statistics
for the production Of agricultural ma
chinery in Germany. This would afford
a sufficiently clear notion as to the kinds
OF machinery in which production has
advanced or declined. What kinds at
the present time are most urgently need
ed and most difficult to be had are
known, and the manufacture of these
must take the first place. But such an
important task can not be carried out
by any office as kind of secondary
work"

British Attorney Generals
Indiscreet Talk Causes
Hurried Recall
ATTACK ON WILSON
WAS LAST STRAW
Created So Much Feeling
Was Compelled to EX-
plain Speech

New York, Feb. Sir Frederick
Smith, attorney general of England il
the Lloyd George cabinet, has hastil,
sailed for England in response to sum
mary orders that he return to Grea
Britain at once, says the Evening Post
His trip was not finished, but ii was de
cidcd that he had remained in Americs
long enough.
Sir Frederick arrived in New Yorl,
during the first week in January. and
his visit was sensational from the be.
ginning. He spoke ON Jan. IL before the
New York State Bar association and in
the course OF his address attacked Mr.
Wilson's proposal for n league of ma
tions, saying that whiicshe was mot here
to disparage noble ideals which, with re-
straint, but penetrating rhetoric your
president has distributed to the encour-
agement OF the allies" he wished to in
quire whether such thing is or is not
in the range of human endeavor" Next
he called it great and splendid dream
He then declared that our examination
of it should be critical rather than rhe-
torical," and went even farther in what
was taken by many auditors as a sneer
at the president by asserting that ii was
necessary for lawyers to call attention
ito the dangers of trusting rhetoric
alone"
So great was the feeling stirred that
the attorney general was compelled to
explain this speech as not meaning what
ii seemed to. He next attracted atten-
ton by giving an interview TO the Bos-
ton Post, of Jan. IA, in which he said
that "afteE the trial of Sir Roger Case
ment | threatened to resign from the
/ gave them the choice of Case
nent or myself. Nothing ever gave me
greater delight than the execution of
easement"
Speaking of the Irish convention, Sir |
frederick said let them keep on talk |
ng. In few months, what |
'ver happens, it won't amount to
Iamn," which attracted attention abroad |
BECAUSE the cabinet in which Sir Fred
rick sits has been assuring England I
nd Ireland that the convention would /
olive the Irish problem. Both of these
tterances gave great offense to the
IRISH Americans and called forth denln-
iations of Sir Frederick in their local
ress. 1t is understood that they were
cad with great dissatisfaction at the
ritish embassy in Washington. None
he less, Sir Frederick was received by
resident Wilson, from which interview
ir Frederick returned in boastful
brit that was also displeasing to his
Iashington compatriots.
But the final straw seems to have been
speech at private banquet in Ottawa,
which, after assuring his auditors that
lere We're no reporters present, he is re-
,rted to have directly assailed the presi-
snt, forgetting that there were two
mericans present, one of them an Amer
an official. Sir Frederick's trip was
len cut short by his government, and he
turned for a day to this city, staying
the Links club He is now on the high
as, and is supposed to have sailed
rom an Atlantic port on Thursday.
