Iceland will make new departure
this year in the matter of using pota-
to flour Representatives of that gov
eminent are sending out propaganda
looking to the general and extensive
planting of potatoes this year. Since
the summer season is so short in Ice
land and other Arctic countries, the
raising of grain Is not possible but its
climate Is adapted to the raising of
potatoes. Plans are being made for
the installation Of potato milling ma

miration for our president knows no
bounds. When they hear the splendid
story of our trade union movement and
its firm position they know that Amer
lea will make good. Having made
mistakes themselves, they know we
have made them, too, and will make
more. They understand US better
than we have imagined.
Here are two indications of the
British regard for America. The
American mission visited Warwick to
be guests for day at the historic
castle, built in the thirteenth century.
America is as mythical to the humble
folk of Warwick town as Warwick is
to most Americans. But the mayor
ordered the American flag flown dur
ing our visit. 1t was the first time an
American flag had ever flown to the
breeze in Warwick. Last night | Wis

we came into the war. They overlook
no way here of showing affection for
America. America must overlook no

In the New England Bulletin of the
American Red Cross there is SPLEEN
did review of its work during the past
year from which the following is an
extract under the title of 1.-THE Human
Side
"The American Red Cross recognizes
that our first duty for humanity in this
war is the protection of our soldiers
in France. 1t recognizes also that this
duty lies with the United States gov
eminent and that the government is
responsible for it. As supplement-
airy relief organization the Red Cross
stands ready to cooperate with the
government in this work, and to put
Its organization, money and supplies
into service at the call of the Ameri-
can army whenever and wherever they
can be of use. Fully realizing the dis
advantages that are always met In
foreign country, and with the view of
keeping our soldiers in touch with
things American, the Red Cross begins
at the port of landing in France by
establishing rest stations. These rest
stations extend inland toward the
camps and are located in n series at
junction points and railroad stations
where the soldiers are required to
wait for train connections.
"Chief work of the American Red
Cross in helping care for wounded sol
diers lies in its cooperation with the
government in supplying an efficient
nursing service; in assisting the Army
Medical corps in cases of emergency,
and in furnishing materials for hos
pitfalls. There were on March /, 1918,
more than twenty-three hundred Amer
lean Red Cross nurses employed in
base hospitals and in the French mill
tary hospitals throughout the republic.
The total number of hospitals of va
rious sorts in the French republic ex-
ceeds five thousand. and more than
half of these are receiving all or part
of their medical and surgical supplies
from the American Red Cross.

diers is being carried on Jointly by the
French government and the American
Red Cross. There are between fifty
and sixty schools of various kinds for
this work. The Red Cross has provid-
ed more than six hundred mutilated
soldiers with artificial legs of the best
type, and has established n factory
near Paris where artificial limbs are
manufactured. BY arranging for con-
sultation between the surgeon and the
manufacturer the Red Cross has been
able to secure the best possible treat
ment for each case.
With the wanton destruction of
homes by the German army and the
uprooting of the population in the dew
astated regions, the home as an in
stitution in France is In peril. Real
izing this condition, the Red Cross is
endeayoring to keep the soldiers
homes intact; to find homes for the
outcast children who have neither
homes nor parents, and to help the
refugees and repatries to find n place
to live until they shall be able to re-
build their homes.
'The most telling work of the Red
Cross in France, as far as helping to
win the war goes. is the care of the
families of the French soldiers. The
Red Cross is giving to the needy fam
lilies of these French soldiers supplies
and money. according to their needs.
when the German army invaded
France, hundreds of thousands of
French people were driven from their
homes and are now scattered through
out the republic. These people are
known as refugees. The number has
increased. of course, for various rea-
sons until now there are more than l.
100000, embracing all classes and ages,
except able-bodied men. There are APP
proximately 100000 refugees in Paris

of the greatest problems of the French
government. The American Red Cross
