WAR CYcLOPEDIA ISSUED BY THE
 GOVERNMENT
Pertinent Facts of the War Con. cisely and Authoritatively
 Stated

A "War Cyclopedia' is the latest special war publication of the Gov ernment issued through the Commit tee on Public Information. It is a handbook for ready reference on the
 great war, and contains in some 300 lpages a great mass of information simply arranged and clearly stated. It is issued in response to an insistent demand from many students, writers, c!ergymen, lawyers, business men and the public at large for authentic statements of the outstanding facts arrangement.
 The War Cyolopedia' was edited
 by Frederic l.. Paxton. University of
 Wisconsin,; Edwin S. Corwin, Prince ton University, and Samuel B. Hard
 ing, Indiana University. the editors drawing freely upon the time and the patriotic goodwill of large number of special writers from all parts of the country Because of its special value and the high cost of printing a small price Of 25 cents copy has
 been fixed by the Government to cover the cost of production and dis. tribution. It may be obtained from the Committee on Public Information, 10 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C..
 In a forword Chairman George Greet. of the Committee, says: "Oth- CT handbooks have been and will be made by other agencies; all will serve their end, for this war is not to be won by an established doctrine nor by an official theory, but by an en- frightened opinion based on the truth. The facts Of history and life are the only arsenal to which Americans need resort in order to defend their cause The deeper their study, the irmer becomes their conviction. The War Cyclopedia' represents an effort
 to arrange in simple form the. facts most needed
 Articles on persons have been left cut except as the editors have deem- ed biographical notes to be absolute. Ky indispensable; knowledge of Ameri- can public men in particular has been assumed.
 An indication of the character and the wide range of the information provided may be had from the fol- through the alphabetical arrange
 ment:
 Under the title Alsace-Lorraine something Of the history and the
 character of the that province now in
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-03-16

Iof National Defence, Food Adminis- tration, etc., are comprehensively ex- plained. There is also wealth of information of value to students of military affairs concerning the Army and Navy and all their ramifying branches of service.
 The editors have made easily ac- cessible the outstanding facts con- cerning German frightfulness in the reports of leading episodes of the war such as the invasion of Belgium, the Lusitania destruction, the submarine campaign against neutrals, and simi- lar incidents.
 "Poilu,' the word used affection atefy by the French to designate their soldiers in the present war, is shown to have originated from the French word 'poil," meaning hair. It is sup posed that the term Poilu came to be applied to French soldiers because they were in the trenches and did not shave, as the British soldiers did.
 An abbreviated E.story of the Rus sian revolution, from the overthrow of the Czar, through the Kerensky regime, and the Bolsheviki control, to the opening of separate peace nego- tiations with Germany, is contained in the Cyclopedia.
 Added to the alphabetical arrange. ment of general war facts, there is presented chronology of the prin- cipal events of the war, from June 2S, 1914, when the Archduke Francis Ferdinand was murdered at Serajevo to December 29, 1917, when the Brit ish National Labor Conference ap. proved the continuation of the war for aims similar to those defined by President Wilson.
 The "War Cyclopedia' presents map ill colors under the caption "Why Germany Wants Peace Now" The map delineates the Pan-German plan as realized by war in Europe and in Asia. Tie Central Powers have a population Of about 146, ,500,00O. The occupied territory in Belgium, North ern France, Poland, Lithuania, Cour- land, Serbia, Montenegro and Rou. mania possesses a population of 40, 500,000. Hence Germany today con- trols lands in which live 1S7,O0O,OOO people. The map makes clear the German plans and conquests.

YOUR RED CROSS
American Red Cross,
4, Place de la Concorde, Pa,

4, flaCo Uo la OncOrQe, ParlS
 The American Red Cross in France has established a record for home building. A call came to Paris from somewhere in France" for three bar racks. The Red Cross was told that it would take the workmen at least five days to erect one building. With in that time the Red Cross workers had all three buildings up and ready for occupancy. They employed just g men on the job.
 Red Cross officials determined some time ago to place "instock' number of portable or demountable barracks for immediate use wherever they might be desired. It was discovered that a Swiss manufacturer had on hand forty three buildings that were not needed by the Italian army for which they they had been construct ed. These barracks were of special design, having been made from plans by an Italian army officer.
 The Red Cross immediately con- tracted for the entire number, obtain ed them and now can ship a home for forty people to any part of France on Ia few hours notice, and erect it in .ess than two days. It has supplied the United States Army with ten of these buildings for immediate use.
 The buildings are unique in con- struction. Each weighs about five tons and can be easily shipped in one freight car. Unlike many demount- able or ''knock-down" buildings, these are absolutely rain and weather-proof thus assuring adequate protection in unreasonable weather to refugees, hos pital patients, etc.
 Each building when set up is about 97 feet long by 1T feet wide with twelve large windows. The original barracks had only six windows, but the Red Cross acting on the sound American hygienic principle of fresh air and light" put six more in the sides.
 The roof, floor and sides are of double thickness. to provide an air space between to aid in keeping the buildings warm inside. The floor is of hard pine from the Alps. The roof is of matched boards, the inside tongue and groove, the outside covered with tar paper. Each section is numbered. Practically no nails are used, all the panels being bolted into place. The demountable barracks have been stored in Paris and are ready for the establishment of hospitals, rest houses, canteens and the like upon a few hours notice.

WOrlu dispute IS gwen, anu fTOIeSSOr
 Otfried Nippold, German scholar
 formerly in the diplomatic service
 but now of Berne, is quoted as say
 ing: When one looks back into the
 history Of Europe during the last
 forty years, it seems inconceivable
 that anyone can be unwilling to ad-
 init that the annexation of Alsace- fLorraine was political mistake" and that "the Germans have shown them
 selves incompetent in their govern
 ment of the people of Alsace-Lor- raine.'
 Ill connection with Alsace-Lorraine the Cyclopedia refers the reader to the Zabern Affair. This is explained under it's proper classification as op- pressive acts on the part of the Ger man garrison officers at Saverne Ger man Zabern, town in Alsace) against the native population. It eliminated in the wounding of lame cobbler by Ia young lieutenant named Frostner, because of contemptuous cries." through the Mayor of the town assert ed that it was only children who had jeered the officer Forstner's unpop- ularity had arisen from an overzeal- ous espousal of his superior officers contempt for the civilian population and his instructions to his command that if they stabbed an Alsatian who insulted them they would not only go unpunisked, but receive a reward. A great hue and cry followed the wound ing Of the lame cobbler and the mat ter reached the Reichstag. where a vote Of censure was passed; but while Forstner was sentenced by court-mar- t:al to detention for short period, he was soon. afterward promoted, thus receiving the promised reward.
 The term "Boche," now so common ly appearing in American newspaper dispatches as a familiar designation of the Germans, is shown to have ori- ginated before the war in Paris. The German assistants of Paris printers were So designated. The term "Bcohe" was probably also used in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, for Zola, in his novel La Debacle," put the term in the mouths of France soldiers to designate Germans. The term ''ce boche" was used, before the France Prussian War at least as e. quivalent to that chump." "Tete de boche" is the Branch slang for wood en pate or "blockhead."
 The War Cyclopedia" gives a re- markedly succinct and comprehensive story Of the execution of Edith Cavell. All of the great war measures in the United States. such as the Espion- age Act, the various acts concerning alien enemies, the Selective Draft, the Voluntary Censorship of the Press, etc., and all of the institutions that have been created to carry on the activities of the war. such as the War i, Trade Board, War Risk Insurance Bureau, Red Cross Service, Council

SKINS FROM GIZZARDS
 OF CHICKENS WORTHLESS

The following is an extract from a letter to ex-President Taft from Mrs. c. R. Weaks, of Water Valley. Kentuc- ky. Many letters have eben received at Headquarters of similar import.
 "In some magazine l read that the Red Cross physicians need some med icines that we housewives could sup ply. One thing was that we should save the skins from the gizzards of chickens as these were used to make pepsin-which was needed-and that It was worth $40 pound. Is this true? We haye been saving them here and do not know where to send them"
