The Red Cross Under Fire.

What could any army do without
the Red Cross" asks Sergeant Ronald
Kingsley, late of the Fifty eighth
Canadian infantry. who is a veteran
of the French front permanently dis
charged because Of injuries received in
battle.
Sergeant kingsley answers his own
question.
u think that probably the greatest
tribute that can be paid 10 the Red
Cross is the confidence OF the wound
ed man. He feels that no matter how
badly wounded he may be, if once he
gets TO the Red Cross man his life is
safe.
L witnessed an incident during the
battle of the SommC which | shall
never forget. \ Red Cross officer ana
four stretcher bearers came to tho
support trenches for some wounded
men. The officer raised Red Cross
flag in plain view of the Germans and
with his men began TO dress the
wounds and finally 70 put the soldiers
on stretChers. As they walked off the
Germans deliberately fired on the
party and the officer Went down. He
got up and started again. but was hit
a second time and did not get up.
Almost at the same time we heard
a salvo Of German thrce-inCh shells,
which wounded all the stretcher-
bearers and the wounded soldiers re-
ceived new wounds. Yet, in spite OF
this, another Red Cross party that
same day went out and brought in
wounded men. Need one say anything
more? I think not
The work OF the Red Cross on the
battlefield goes on night and day. In
varia bly, the men and the ambulances
are in range Of enemy guns. Devotion
to duty characteriZes the Red Cross
workers and the American boys are
stimulated BIZ this assurance.

$1,000 900 Business Each Day.

From 81, 0OO. 900 a year to 100000 a
day mas been the increase IN business
handled by the Chicago quartermast-
er's department which supplies large
portion Of American troops here and in
France.
At the outbreak of the war, accord
ing to Col. A D. kniskern, depot quar-
termaster. the Chicago depot had a
staff Of six officers and thirty-tive men.
At present there are sixty officers and
more than 2,000 employees.
Accounting for the phenomenal
growth of the depot, General Kniskern
said that while it was undoubtedly due
in a great measure to the war ITSELF
this fact alone did not fully account
for it,
The most important reason that
Chicago is the greatest storehouse Tor
the army in the country" Colonel
Kniskern said, lis that 1t is the logical
warehouse center. Its railway facili-
ties are especially adapted to the
needs Of TIE auartermasters depart
ment, and large proportion Of the
firms manufacturing war supplies are
located in the central department OF
the army" Additional warehouses are
being erected constantly.
Everything from a pin to motor
truck can be found in the Chicago
warehouses. A list of the army sup
plies handled includes all articles OF
clothing, tents. tent poles auto trucks,
motorcycles, bicycles, tires. meats,
canned goods grain. automobile repair
parts, tent stoves, hardware. shoes and
pins The supplies stored in the Chi
cago warehouses are mostly listed as
reserve" some Of the canned goods
particularly being held eight months.
The Chicago depot handles virtually
all of the motor trucks for the army,
according to Capt. Earl J. thinner
man. executive officer. In addition it
handles all grain for the entire army,
here and abroad, and all frozen beef
for American troops In France.
Besides his duties as depot quarter
master Colonel Knistern Is executive
auartermaster for Camp Sherman.

volume of business passing thru the

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR NAMED
Dan S. Blair, Of Iowa Falls, Named in
Hardin County.


Hardin County.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, March 5.-pan S. Blair,
of this city has just been named food
administrator for Hardin county ana
entered on his duties yesterday. HIS
first official action was TO issue a no.
tice that all residents Of cities and
towns in the county who have on hand
more than one sack of -four are to re-
turn the surplus to the dealer At whom
it was purchased and the price or the
flour would be refunded, To all resi-
dents of the rural communities tho
same order applies except the amount
that may be retained is two sacks
The order also states that the wheat
less and meatless days are to be strict
~ observed by everybody in the
county. The orders emanate from the
government and the enforcement OF
them is entrusted to Mr.. Blair is this
county. One Of the first examples or
food boarding to come before the new
food administrator was a case in this
city where a prominent citizen pur-
chased the sugar limit in several bust
ness houses. The matter was taken
up and the sugar was returned to thu
dealers. The name of the man who
thus sought TO violate the rules of the
game is withheld on order of the food
administrator

IOWA TO DO FULL SHARE.
McNider Expects More Thorough Can
vass For Third Liberty Loan.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City March 5.-'Iowa is go
ing 10 surprise herself and the nation
in this third liberty loan drive" said
c. H McNider state chairman for
Iowa. upon his return from Chicago
where ne conferred with chairmen Of
the other states in the Seventh federal
reserve district.
We have analyzed the record Of
each county in Iowa for the first two
liberty loan campaigns and we have
discovered what the trouble was in the
counties which failed to meet their
quotas-simply lack Of intensive or
ganization," continued Mr. NcNider.
For instance, ! have in mind two
Iowa counties adjacent TO each other
and about equal in population. wealth
and bank resources: one of these coUn-
ties sold only s per cent Of its quota
while the other county sold H. per
cent of its quota. II was not lack Of
interest; it was not lack Of patriot
ism; i was simply lack Of the right
kind Of organization.
Another discovery we have made is
that in some counties not more than
one-third OF the population was per-
sonalIy canvassed. This condition ob-
tanned to a remarkable degree in rural
sections and was responsible for the
unfair criticism that some OF our Iowa
farmers We're not willing TO buy their
share Of liberty bonds. Our analysis
shows that in every county where the
farmers were personally canvassed,
the rural districts responded just as
quickly and as generously as did the
cities and towns.
For this third liberty loan cam
paign I have the promise Of every
county chairman that he Will guar
antee his committees will personally
call on every individual in the county
who ought to buy bonds. Our district
chairmen are going TO cooperate
constantly with the county chairmen
and my office will check results thru
system Of daily reports and weekly
conferences"

Shrill cries from French children as
the German airpIanes circle over their
village dropping the deadly bombs.
This time the children were gathered
BY Red Gross nurses on the hill over
looking the town. and there were no
cellars or caves to go 10.
In the old fort on the hill dozen
little girls got into one bed and COW
cred themselves with the bedclothes.
Perhaps the bombs wouldn't get them
there! Half an hour seemed whole
day. Then the guns stopped fring-a
signal that the German airplane had
depa-ted-and the children were I'M
harmed.
Down in the village a tenement had
been split in two. 1t had been occu-
pied by the family of a French soldier
who had come 1000 miles from Salon
lea TO see his wife and children. The
Ped Cross maneuver TO the hill had
saved the children-this time.

Saving Table Scraps.


We have all been cautioned about
saving and exhorted to do our best
along this line to win the war We
have also been told to feed scraps TO
poultry which is all very well and a
very commendable economy because
the scraps make the best feed Tor
poultry provided they are prepared
properly for them to cat.
We do not imagine. however, that
great amounts Of table scraps yalu-
able for food are being wasted by peo-
pie at this time. In spite Of this fact
there are many things that can be
utilized for poultry feeding. Every
thing and anything that the family Will
not eat. such as vegetable tops, potato

anything that is fit for food should be
used. 1t can be passed thru meat

A French Generals Views.

General Chertils. formerly command
er OF a French army corps, and mil
itary critic since his retirement, be
lieves that the coming German often
sve will be launched in the Cham
payne somewhere between Rheim:
and the Argonne forest.
| Much has been said of a possible
attack on our position in upper AL
t SAGE, because we have rewon some
of the province there, but on that front
We have the fortress of Belfort, not dis
mantled as was Verdun when thi
crown prince attacked It," says the
general. The Germans would waste
at least 100000 men in an attack or
Belfort without getting any further or
as far as they did at Verdun.
Nor is there enough space be-
tween Belfort and the Swiss frontier
for a big outflanking attempt without
violating Swiss neutrality.
There remain two theaters which
might be attractive TO the German
stoff. II England is not the prin-
cipal enemy. she is at least detested
by the Germans more than is France.
and it would cause unbounded re-
ioieing to the Germans 10 beat the
British. Besides. the British check
before Cambria might serve as an
encouragement to the Germans 10
attack there (2).
However, Austro Hungarian units
drawn from the Russian front are
said to have been concentrated in
Belgium, under General krohatin. II
that is true. the attack will not come
against the British sector for the
troops of Austria Hungary are not
Iof sufficiently high class material 10
be used in shock tactics against
either the British or French.
"Furthermore. because OF dynastic
reasons, it seems imperative for the
crown prince 10 have the big blow
struck under his command. The
Champagne seems the logical theater
for the great drive.
If all signs do not fail, it will
come TO the east Of Rheims %.
To the west Of Rheims the French
hold the dominating positions west
Of the Disc, the region devastated by
Hindenburg himself.
The Champagne between Rheims
and the Argonne offers the crown
prince a series OF plateus which,
despite the loss OF the Morenvillers
heishts might open short and al
rect route down the valley OF the
Marine 10 Paris.
Between Verdun and Toul. where
the enemy holds the Meuse heights,
he might perhaps, try 10 deepen hi.

American inEantrymen are in the
first line trenches), and make an ef-
fort toward Bar-le- Due. Adjoining is
mighty Nancy. and the capture of the
capital of French Lorraine would De
an allurins prize for the enemy.
There, however. the Germans will
find the same leaders who broke
their advance at the Marine in 1914
and hurled them back to the Aisne."

splendid for table poultry. There are
other kinds that are not SO good for
table poultry but are good for egg
production. The best Of all the laying
hens are not necessarily the best for
market poultry, nor are the heavier
varieties best for egg production. Any
one Of the Plymouth Rock varieties,
Wyandotte varieties or Rhode Island
Reds are good for general purpose
work, that Is, they will lay we'll and
will lay many eggs, and they are ex-
cellent for table poultry.
Those who wish white -shelled eggs
must keep some one of the Mediter-
ranean varieties, or fowls like that,
which should be kept separate and
alone and not mixed in with other
varieties. The mixing Of Ieghorns OF
any kind with the American or Eng
lish varieties produces a fowl that il
