American Red Cross Nurses
Form Rest Club in London
BIZ Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct. 31:-Among Lon
don's many clubs, the club for Red
Cross nurses, at AZ GroSvenor place,
is declared one of the most complete
and comfortable in the city. 1t serves
as a halfway station and resting
place for nurses on their wa to the
front, and here they may find rooms
and lodging until forwarded.
The location is ideal. close to the
American embassy, the Red Cross
headquarters, the American army and
navy, and equally handy to London's
shopping and theatre districts. The
windows look straight into the
grounds of Buckingham Palace. and,
on a SUNNI afternoon, when the
nurses have tea on the little front
balcony, they can often see. through
the trees, the king and queen stroll
ing across the broad lawns behind the
palace
Right in the heart of the great
metropolis, the club nevertheless
boasts rooms where no slightest
sound of traffic Is heard. From the
upper floors one can get a magnif-
cent panorama of London, and, with
h aid of q map, can identify easily
st. James Park, Westminster Abbey,
the dome Of st. Paul's Cathedral, the
Thames bridges, and, far down In the

There are ~commodious lounges,
with big couches and easy chairs,
with upholstery SO thick that a wee
nurse can almost lose herself in their
cushioned depths. Here are writing
desks and little tables With american,
English and French newspapers and
magazines. Beyond the drawing room
is q sunny conservatory, large enough
to be dignified by the name of win
ter garden" The dining room is
high-ceilinged and chubby" with
tiny separate tables for purses who
wish to be alone or to entertain
friends.
The drawing room is an immense
hall of quaint shape, and its parque-
try floor, kept in a high state of pol
ished perfection.
What are the things about the
club that the nurses appreciate
most?" somebody asked the superin-
tendent, Miss Bevan, the other day.

W0man'S Work In the War
Camp Community Service

Women's work In war camp COM
munity service Is divided into five well
defined fields of activities. These five
fields of service are. home entertain
ment, camp entertainment, informa-
ton bureaus, girls activities and the
hospital service. 1t is largely through
the work of the women that comfort
and entertainment are given to the en-
listed men in each camp city of the
country.
1t was the women of the country
who carried through The Take a
Soldier home to Dinner" idea. They
not only invited the soldiers and sail
ors to dinner. but kept them over
week ends n entertained them with
spacial automobile rides. music and
dances. In some cities the chief diff
Guilty has seemed to be that there was
not enough Soldiers to avail them
selves of the invitations sent in by
the women In one western city,
which has been specially well organ
lied by the war camp community
service more than 1000 home dinners
were given to soldiers one month.
In the hospital service women vol
unteers are enlisted in every section
of the country. In Cincinnati in the
recent epidemic all the contagious
wards were visited regularly by wo-
men who e and write letters for
the men and assisted In filling their
orders for hospital garments.
Many of the war camp community
service bureaus of information are in
charge of hostesses and @ volunteer
yorker These women give Informal
ton concerning accommodations in
town for soldier relatives. They help
relatives in locating soldiers they have
come to visit. In cooperation with
the Y. w. C. A, the war camp Com
munity service formed a woman's
guard in a western city. Women
in such cities are enlisted ready for
canteen service at a minutes notice.
They act as chaperones for girls on
picnics. They are ready to offer vol
unteer clerical work to assist in TAX

Belgians Organize Cooperative
Plan for Reconstruction

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31:-The Eco
nomic restoration of Belgium will be
undertaken under the direction of a
group of Belgian manufacturers n
merchants, with branches In Paris,
London and The Hague.
The organization will be i~ncorpor-
ated as a Belgian cooperative aid So
ciety. 1t will be called the National
Bureau for the Revival of Economic
Activity in Belgium. This organiza-
ton will act as a purchasing agent to
replace tools, put Belgian commerce
and industry on its feet.
And, after the first great burst of
JOY, Belgium will settle down and go
back to work. declares Professor
Paul Van den Venden, director of the
Belgian official information service
and former professor at the University
of Louvain, who has just returned TO
this country from Havre.
Thanks TO the American people,
the food problem will be solved. The
commission for the relief of Belgium
will undoubtedly double its efforts,
now that the coast is freed and there
are so many more to feed.
but the great problem is the en-
ployment FOR the more than n million
idle laborers who will be left in Bel
GUM.
BelSium Is dependent on Her lnuuS-
tries.
"Belgium's national life depends
more heavily on its industries thar
that of any other nation excep Eng
land. The Germans. in their four
years of occupation. have requisitioned
practically all of the raw materials
and machinery in the country.
THEY HAVE LEFT BELGIUM
AN EMPTY SHELL.
There is work enough to do to
rebuild the cities and towns and make
the country habitable for the thou
sands of refugees who will pour back
as soon as the Germans are driven
across their own border. But 1t can
not be dom without machinery and
raw materials. For these, and for the
credit with which they must be OBJ
tanned. Belgium will have to rely on
her allies"
Society Is to BE Fully Cooperative.
For the making of the purchases
and the handling of the credit to be
established. the Belgian cooperative
Society is formed.

I'll tell you why 1, q German by
birth and a former soldier In the

Germany" he said. Its the same
reasons my brothers have and the
reason the six other Germans In my
battalion have.
IT'S because we knew that If the
United States had not gone into the
war within five years from now the
Germans would be half way across
America. Eventually the United
States would have beaten them, but
the loss of life and property in our
adopted land would have been terri
