ADDRESS BEFORE
ADVERTISING CLUB

San Francisco, July 9.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press)-
when this war for freedom is won,"
said Herbert S. Houston, New York
publisher, in his address today be-
fore the War Convention of the AS
sociated Advertising Clubs Of the
World, Germany must not be allow
ed to prepare for another war by
growing rich in competition with ma
tion whose industries she has all
but destroyed in this war That
would be permitting the robber to
set up business in the store he has
robbed"
Mr.. Houston, who is former pres
ident of the Associated Clubs, urged
the business men of the allied ma
tions to get ready to meet the Ger
man commercial drive, which, he de-
clared, would come after the war
after the tragedy of being un-
prepared for Germany's military fist,
despite it's menacing pabs and thrusts
for forty years." he said, "Let us
not be unprepared for the blow of
Germany's commercial fist. They are
both war-like fists, right and left
arms of Prussia's autocratc and
ruthless power.
"When this war for freedom is
won, when the great day of reckoning
comes, then will come the day when
patriotic business in all the free ma
tions must smite the mailed fist 1t
must be driven home that German
business cannot be allowed to rise
and prosper on the ruined industries
of Belgium, of France, of Italy-yes,
and of Russia-industries ruined by
the mailed fist of Germany. The
monstrous injustice which such a re-
suit would mean for our brave al
lies must be made so clear that a
way-faring man, though a pro-Ger-
man, would understand and heed.

MASONS' ANNUITY HAS
ASSETS OF $1,O14, 1909

Atlanta, Ga, May 29.-The trend of
life insurance away from the payment
OF sums in cash toward the payment
OF annuities to the dependent men,
bers OF the family of the insured is in
terestingly discussed by Z. P. Burns,
oncfof the best known Masons in the
South, in leading article in the last
issue OF The Annuity Messenger, Off
cial organ of the Mason's Annuity, a
benefit order for Masons only. of
which Mr.. Burns is superintendent OF
organization. He shows that annui-
ties are as old as recorded human
history, that they constitute the very
germ and essence of thrift. He shows
that wealth has long been measured in
European coutries in terms of in
come rather than capital, hence the
prevailing form of life insurance there
is annuity insurance. He shows that
so-called straight life insurance is pc
culiarly an American device built I'D
by commercial companies, while an
nuity protection is distinctly in the
field of the benevolent protective So
ciety, whose annuities are doubly
safe-guarded by the law. The Ma
sons Annuity, according to The Mes
senger, has paid annuities of $l,117,-
307, and now has assets of $1,0l4,809
Mr.. Burns also shows that the form
of annuity insurance provided by the
government war risk insurance bureau
for soldiers and sailors will doubtless
have very marked influence on the
trend of insurance after the war.

TEN THOUSAND BOYS
FOR THE wheat CLUBS
Large EnrOllments Have AL
ready Been Reported

The County Agents are now making
a drive for ten thousand members of
Boys Wheat Club to grow an acre
/of wheat next year. All Of these
boys are being organized this spring
for the purpose of growing one acre
of COW peas to be harvested for seed
or hay as the boys desire ana this
acre to be followed by wheat this
fall Many counties have already re-
ported the enrolment of one hundred
or more boys for this purpose. Each
boy who grows an acre Of COW peas
to be followed by an acre of wheat
will be feeding one soldier in the
trenches.
In addition to the boys wheat club,
many farmers have joined farmers
wheat clubs during the past winter,
and many more are preparing to grow
wheat next year. Each farmer is urg-
ed to grow from one to five acres of
wheat or sufficient quantity to feed
his family and labor on his farm. In
dications are that wheat shortage will
be as acute in 1919 as it has been
in 191S.-Prof. J. Phil Campbell, State

A few hours after American Red
Cross headquarters in Paris learned
of the big German offensive, it dis
patched eight trucks and motor cars
to this hospital to aid in the evacua-
ton of the patients. Night and day
the Red Cross drivers worked bring
ing the wounded from the hospital to
Paris, drive of from six to eight
hours, depending upon the congested
condition of the roads.
When this had been accomplished
the RedCross cars went out into the
surrounding country to pick UP the
wounded, who were attempting to
walk to hospital, and to aid the
refugees struggling along the road.
Besides transporting these two hun
bred or more wounded men to places
OF safety, the Red Cross cars aided
$50 refugees to the railroads in three
days.
But their work has only begun.
Despite the evacuation of the hospital
and the consequent order for more of
the staff to accompany the patients to
points of safety, the wounded kept
coming in. Ninety per cent of them
were serious cases. Practically all
demanded immediate operations. Not
simple operations, but major ones,
where a steady nerve, delicate touch
and sure hand were necessary to give
the wounded the best chance for life.
Night and day the American sur
geons worked. There were a few
nurses to assist, but all were tired
completely tagged, mentally and
physically. Every one needed rest.
But there were the men coming in
every few hours, their bodies pitt
fully torn, and suffering untold agon
les. SO no one thought of stopping
and even when one did get a few
hours off duty there were the big guns

pital. They belched and roared all

Washington, May 29.-The story
of the part America and Americans
played in aiding the British and the
French during the early Spring Of
fenRve of the Germans on the Somme
can never be adequately told The
whbfe picture is too big to paint on
one canvas. 1t is only by describing
the work of individuals and particular
groups of workers that some idea of
the American effort and it's effective
ness in this historic battle can be
brought home to the people back
homeland then only in small way.
While it is perhaps only a very
small incident in the history of that
great affair, the story Of how small
band of American Red Cross workers
carried on" at one of the evacuation
hospitals back Of the British front
should make Americans proud. When
all but few of the hospital staff had
left with the two hundred or more pa
tients and the Germans were advanc-
ing only few miles away, four Am
erican army surgeons, assigned to the
American Red Cross for work at this
particular hospital, declared their in
tentions of sticking till H froze
over" And six Red Cross ambulances
and truck drivers. as we'll as several
American Red Cross nurses and aides
stuck" with them.
The Americans made their decision
not because of sheer bravado, but be-
cause the hospital had the opportunity
of serving few wounded soldiers
from day to day-and could save
their lives. And at this writing these
Americans are still there, giving
much needed medicaf attention to
French and British soldiers who are
brought back to this hospital because
it is the nearest one back of that
point of the line.
The big guns of the British and
French have beer planted in the rear
OF 1t-and then moved farther back.
The Boche airmen come over at night.
This little group of Americans have
seen the troops, guns and transports
go by in streams to points in the rear,
but as long as the wounded are
brought there, these Americans will
stay.

clothes in the battle zone isn't being
done this year. you know" is the way
one driver expressed it. Every few
minutes the big guns would let go;
the windows of the hospital, which
by the way, is one Of the most pic
turesque and prettiest chateaux in
France, and is owned by an American
woman who married a French Cen
eral, ratified and banged from the
conclusion. Between the gunhre the
eccentric whir of the Boche aero
planes could be heard. They were at
tempting to locate the battery SO
as to direct the fire of their artillery.
So the Red Cross can't sleep-thev
just doze and rest.
OF course, some of the cases were
hopeless and no amount OF surgical
skill Or medical attention could save
them. Here again the American Red
Cross nien came in for more work.
They had to dig the graves and act
as pallbearers.
One night was especially hard. The
doctors were kept busy in the oper-
ating room until 3 o'clock in the
morning. TIE nurses had to have a
bit OF rest. One nurse only was avail
able. So again the Red Cross drivers
were called upon. One became an
aid to the operating surgeon, remain
ing in service until the last wounded
man was rolled finally into his bed
That day the Boone was reported
bit nearer and the drum fire of the
Allied batteries rolled through the
hospital like peals of thunder. All
the patients who could be moved
without endangerirg their chances of
recovery were evacuated and then the
order came to take away most of the
supplies. at E o'clock the Red Cross
drivers were rounded out and began
loading their trucks with blankets and
food, which constituted the greater
part of thu supplies. These were TAX
en- to town bit further back where
they could be used for refugees and
the troops that wre passing through
in endless streams.
When I left the hospital the next
day things had become "about nor
NAL" so Red Cross man told me.
They were working IS hours day.
