Complete medical care is being ex- tended to 700 of this army of children while dispensary medical care claims 3,060 patients. Orphans and other children who are aided by the Red Cross directly or indirectly account for the remainder. Five hundred children per day. for instance, re- ceive medical attention at the point of repatriation for nations of France who are being returned from behind the German lines.
 Work in the War Zone.
 The relief of suffering among chil- dren with the care and education of destitute children, embraces one Of the principal activities of the American Red Cross abroad. At one point In the war zone III rTduCe CuiluIcH refuge and hospital has been opened, where several hundred children have been gathered together just to keep them out of danger of gas and shell fire At another point among the wrecked villages there is a medical center and travelling dispensary suf- ficient to look after 1900 children.
 Found Villages Looted
 One of the centers of the work of the children's bureau in France was esta blished in response to an urgent appeal from leaders of the French Red Cross An expert who was sent to investigate the conditions found vii. lages footed and burned, with practi. cally all buildings destroyed, yet count ing among their inhabitants more than 1000 children. all of them without medical care. These children were miserably dirty. Half of them were infected with skin or eye lesions. Many of them were seriously i'll.

NEW YEAR USHERED
 IN WITH BELLS ON
1918 is "Dry" for Alaska But Comes in ketchikan In Big
 RainStOrm

The school bell on the hill began it. Bells from every steeple in town took it up, echoed by the whistles and sia rens of the myriads of small fishing craft oh the waterfront, and soon the whole town was awake to the realiza- tion of the birth of new year, 1918.
 The Pioneers Lodge, were hosts for the evening at Red Men Hall, and a large crowd attended the dance, to greet the new year. At precisely on the stroke of twelve. the music ceased and Mir. D. Smith Harris thanked the guests for their liberal patronage and wished them all Happy New Year The gong struck twelve times, then the dance was continued till the early hours.
 Before the town went Dry" many of the joy makers became too hilarious in their celebrations with the result that the authorities gathered them up and lodged them in the city jail, to let them sober up for 1918.
 Today most of the churches are holding services. celebrating the church feast of the Circumcision. Two masses were held at the Holy Names Catholic church, and a short service at St. Johns Episcopal was held this morning.
 All the business houses of the city were closed today with the exception of the drug stores which were opened for few hours, and the Newspaper, the servant Of the fickle public.

fur and meat.
 Business men of Hamilton, Canada, have taken over fur-rabbit farm and will raise Siberian rabbits for fur and meat. This latter species is said to be comparatively new to Canada. It sometimes reaches a weight of 14 pounds, is black in color, grows very quickly and one doe will produce about 100 young in eight months. The meat can be produced at cents a pound, 1t is said and the belts are of very good quality for rabbit fur
 Uncle Sam is looking into the wild western jackrabbit which is killed by the millions every year as pest by farmers. It is maintained by the de- partment of agriculture that jackfab- bit meat is good game when fresh and that the hams when corned and smoked will compare with German goose hams.

AUTO AFTER JACK RABBIT
Wheel Came Off, There Was a Wrect,
and No Joke.

A curiosity to time a Jack rabbit
with a tested speedometer resulted in
the wrecking Of an automobile near
Topeka, Kan, one night recently.
w. f. Haafe, an automobile agent at
Natoma, was on his way to Kansas
City, and as the road was good, was
keeping up about all the law permits in
the way Of speed, when jack rabbit
chose the same route. Haafe thought
it would be joke to make the rabbit
take siding, and ran his speedometer
up to within so per cent of it's adver-
tised ability. But having chosen east
as his general direction and that par
ticular road as his route, the rabbit
continued to plod along at a little bet
ter than 80 miles an hour.
The rabbit did not turn out, but a
portion Of the pursuing car did. After
he had crawled out of ditch and
twisted himself into shape, Haafe
caught car into Topeka, where he
waited until daylight to hunt wheel,
which had left the general wreckage
and taken refuge in corn field.

Lieut.. Patrick O'Brien, an American
member of the British flying corps,
who was brought down in a one-sided
battle by the Germans, and who had
been taken into Germany on his way to
a prison camp, jumped from q train
which was going 80 miles an hour, and
by many heroic and clever moves man
aged to get into Holland, and then back
to England.
O'Brien was reported missing last
August II, and his temperance was
great surprise to his friends. On
the morning of August II enemy gun
ners forced him to land, but fortunate
ly he got back to his own lines. Later
In the day he was again flying over the
enemy lines and he, with five other
machines, was engaged by 20 German
airplanes. O'Brien alone engaged four
Of them. He accounted for one Of the
machines before he was shot in the lip.
He fell with his damaged plane 5000
feet. He cannot explain why he was
not killed.
When he regained consciousness
O'Brien was in a German war hospital.
Later, when he was being taken into
Germany, he jumped from the moving
train, and by walking at night, swim
ming rivers and subsisting only on
food that he could get from the fields,
he managed to reach Holland.
He was fugitive for Y days. He
had narrow escape when he was in
sight Of his goal. To circumvent
charged wires O'Brien built bridge
with nearby wood and threw it across
the wires. 1t broke under his weight
and O'Brien says that he can still feel
the shock. He dug tunnel with his
hands under the wires and he was
free.
A brief telegram was received by
his mother, Mrs. Margaret O'Bricn,
saying that he had escaped from the
Germans. and that he soon would be
home. O'Brien will try to change to
the American aviation corps. The
photo shows him standing in front Of
his machine.

Doud and John Mayer, two of the
three men he accused of fleeing him,
escaped from the hall outside the

One Man Will Serve
C. w. Ness, the third man accused,
had been unable to make bonds and
will serve sentence.
Ellingson's chief trouble seemed to
be that he could not make his three
friends understand Norwegian whist
as "she is played in North Dakota"
According to Ellingson he met Ness,
Doud and Mayer on the street week
ago. He was a stranger and they, he
said, were prominent Minneapolis bust
ness men and knew the ropes. Elling-

drinks were served. Then he was TAX

whist services were held.
