AN ACCOUNTING
(By Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Nov. 30.-Accounl j.
given of the service in behalf of 'h'
! American soldiers in France and lhs
cost of maintaining it in recent re
port from Pacific division headquar
ters of The American Red Cross.
To The end of last June his service
ent allied an expenditure of $15,453, ,00C
land 13,829,418 has been appropriate !
| to make our more Than 100000 men
over there comfortable during The last
six months of the year.
Long before General Per>hing's firS'
10000 troops reached France The
American Red Cross had established
canieens and resi- stations al various
strategical points between The pors
of debarka ion and The front line
trenches. Six We're open last March
when American troops began arriving
overseas in heavy contingents. These
canteens fed 10000 soldiers daN,
twice thai number have been esiab-
lished and it is expected that 50
American Red Cross canleens will he
in operation by The end of The Year.
From March to he end of June, this
year, S1,671 ,7S9 was spent for canlcrn
service. For The las six months in
the Year S2.059.649 has been appropri-
ated for The work, S905,808 of this
amount being for hc maintenance of
front line cantcens.
One of the most vital features OF
American Red Cross work in France
is the emergency aid given 10 The army
medical corps. In addition 10 recruit
ing nurses for The army, the Red
Cross maintains hospitals and dispen-
saries which are a ihe disposal of
The army for any emergency That
arises.
In addition to its $500 military
beds. the Red Cross has 600 GONZALES
cent beds in its EIGHT convalescen'
houses. An appropriation of s5,43a.-
919 has been made 10 cover The cost
of maintaining this service for the
wounded American soldiers during The
last six months of this year.

WHAT PEACE MEANS TO US.

With the fighting ended, people are turning
tbeir thoughts toward the thmlngs that peac'
viii bring to pass. For months we nave pee'
saving that this old world can never again o' D
the same as it used to be. EolIollaliS aL'o io4 -
nnblic addresses we have been saying that {
vast new spirit would prevail not only IN l!'t
dealings of nations with nations but also OF MAJ
with man. One cannot so soon after the oat'it
do more than guess as to what far-reachng re-
nltc This new spirit will accomplish, but we can
we believe with good deal more than d selh
Shance of justification. deal with the prospect:
That are Immediately before us as a country.
To begin with, our sturdy boys are con1lo9
back to us, all but those whose lives nave peei
sacrificed They are coming back better ana
Stronoer. more ambitious, more thoroughly con
Seious of the strength of manhood than ever oe
fora They went away boys: they Will come
hack men. and they are going to be men WIZ
can and will do things Theirs will be an addc'
force in our civic affairs and we may well couii
mon those men who have been fighting for thei
|country to put their shoulders 10 the -"heei :"
|comrnunity and county progress.
The prosperity of this country has AWAY
rested upon the productiveness Of its soil, upo'
l;ts crops and the prices for products. edon
indeed do we have anything but normal veal
for eroDs and we can reasonably count upoi
yood average crops these next few years. lhe
world must be fed largely by America and whie
THAT condition lasts foodstuffs are bound to pf
marketable. and the average run of prices Is
|bound to spell prosperity. Those counties that
|prow things to eat can face the first two years
on peace with equanmity. Imperial county, witt
its diversity of food products, ought to strike d
nigh general average in relation to prices and
|community incomes.
There are good many things that we can
look forward to as likely to develop during the
next two or three years. New residences are t.
pa constructed, and there is everywhere belief
THAT carpenters, plumbers, painters, concrete
workers and millmen will soon have all they car
10. There is every reason to believe that the
encouragement of new industries through TIC
lclty's industrial fund may now bring the results
|expected of that fund when it was created. 4
First of all, of course we will meet ever;
patriotic, obligation that comes to US. Our rec
ord for going over the top will not be sullier
Dy failure in any opportunity for service thai
may come to us. Those obligations will be me-
with greater ease than ever before.
The arrival of peace and what it means =
q community is being considered by every com
munity in the country. Those cities that have
senjoyed q tremendous prosperity by reason OF
munitions making may now face serious prob
lens. Here in Imperial county we find none OF
our industries suddenly laid on the shelf Far
from it. Our industries in the first years OF
pcaca aTo Just as necessary and ought to be just

THE LABOR DEMAND is IMPERATIVE" :"
That is editorial opinion of Saturday Evening
Post of November 2.
The Post says: Last year Congress apprO-
priated S12 100000 for war material, but
could only find labor enough to expend $4,000,
1000.
The only conclusion is that the labor supply
Of our country was just about one-third short.
Hindenburg did not care how many billions
we appropriated so long as we had not the labor
% build ships, airplanes, and make guns and am
nunition
State and federal boards are trying to rem
edy labor shortage by closing down non essential
industries and transferring labor to other indus
+ries.
There is general cry to make up labor
shortage with women and school children. Is
merely shifting labor about or making field la
oorers and mill hands out of our women and
girls remedy for the labor shortage?
Nearly half million Mexicans are doing the
'ard work raising sugar beets and working in
he mines and reduction works of the border and
ntermountain states.
Chinese cOolie labor built the trans Pacific
'ailroads, cleared millions of acres of land and
lug millions of gold from the placer mines OF
