The quartermaster's department Is
now supplying gas-proof food contain
erS to the soldiers in the zone of OPP
eratiOns in France. These containers
prevent seepage of gas into the con-
tainers and guard against contamina-

emergency rations in the containers
and all food brought up to the
trenches is carried in the new tins.
After the food is packed in the con-
tainers they are Theoretically sealed.

such a way that it must be cut before

show that these boxes meet all condi-

industries, plows water pipe, sanitary
equipment and much else, that have
temporarily congested your railroads,
but will ultimately contribute, as we
hope, to the rehabilitation Of the land
that has in many parts been permitted
to deteriorate till it seems that Isaiah's
prophecy of destruction has come upon
it."
Ailenby Welcomes American Red Gross.
General Allenby, in khaki and cover
ed with dust from his ride of twenty
miles across the hills from general
headquarters, was a powerful figure in
the distinguished assemblage. A man
with a determined face and with the
kindliest eyes, he is just the type Of
commander the civilized world would
wish to lead it in the recovery of it's
Holy Land. In replying to Colonel Fin
ley's welcome, he spoke briefly, in part,
as follows:
"Much has been done in Jerusalem
since L entered here in company with
the heads of the French and Italian de-
tachments on December IL, 1917. At
that time the American Military At
tache accompanied me, and [ remem-
Der that he assured me of the very
special interest of America in the cap
ture of Jerusalem and in the future
development Of the country. Though
there were no American troops partici-
pating at that time, for America had
not declared war on Turkey, yet was
assured that the heart of the American
people would respond with peculiar in
terest to the appeal of the new oppor-
tunities for the development Of the
Sacred Land There Is inevitable a
certain amount Of destruction in war.
You have come to help set right the
wrongs and to rebuild what military
force has destroyed, and it Is for this

work that we particularly welcome
your cooperation. / am glad to greet
the Americans to Jerusalem and espe-
cially the. members of the American
Red Cross Commission to Palestine on
this, their National holiday"
Colossal Undertaking.
Since the Inauguration of the work
on July Fourth, according to recent ca
bic advices, the American Red Cross
has extended its territory of service to
include all of the occupied area under
the control of the British, Of which
General Sir Arthur Money is the mill
tary governor. This means q colossal
undertaking and one which it is impos-
sible to visualize at this distance. 1t
means that in Jerusalem alone the
American Red Cross hospital, which,
by the way, is located in one Of the
spacious buildings of the Russian Com
pound, is filed to its capacity, that the
meteorological laboratory is in full op-
Grafton and that a children's hospital
Of twenty beds has been opened. In
addition to this two hundred patients
are cared for daily at the clinic and
dispensary, and medical service is also
given in various children's institutions.
On the crest of Mount Zion, sur
rounded by a beautiful garden, an or
phanage has been established-this is
the girls orphanage. a boys orphan
age has also been opened, including a
small school for the blind. Approx
mately four hundred children are be-
ing looked after in these institutions.
Then there is day nursery, conducted
along lines similar to those in America,
for the accommodation of children
whose mothers are employed during
the day.
For Russian pilgrim women, strand
ed in Jerusalem, the Red Cross indus
trial department conducts two large
workrooms and several village work
shops Employment Is also given to

Near the Jaffa gate in Jerusalem
stands the headquarters OF the Amerl-
can Red Cross in Palestine. Perhaps
you know, perhaps you do not know,
that following the reclamation Of the
Holy Land by the British troops, I'M
der the leadership of General Sir Ed
mund Allenby, the American Red
Cross was early in the field to carry on
with it's great humanitarian activities.
The commission is headed by John H
Finley, state commissioner Of educa-
ton of New York, other members be-
ing e. ST. John Ward, Major Waters
and Major Lowenstein.
Beneath a glazing sum- with no boom
ing of cannon, except that which came
occasionally from the front out toward
Jericho, across the hills, the American
Red Cross formally inaugurated its
work in Palestine and celebrated the
National holiday on July Fourth. Ca
Diagrams, many days delayed, told Of
the celebration at the time, and now,
after devious wanderings en- route, the
account of the affair in detail has
reached the national headquarters Of
the Red Cross in Washington, D. c.,
together with a group of interesting
pictures, some of which it would seem
were literally taken from an illustrate
edition of the Holy Bible.
The mission of the American Red
Cross TO Palestine is best explained
briefly in the words Of Colonel Finley
of welcome to General Allenby, the
honored guest of the occasion, which
in part was as follows:

zeal supplies, medical, engineering, in

(Ey Associated rress)

Washington, July 8.--As the guns
on the western front do not cease
their works Saturday afternoons and
holidays, neither do the hammers and
saws in the shipyards on this side of
the Atlantic.
The men who are building the
bridge of ships" know that every
minute counts and have voluntarily
renowned the hours formerly devot-
ed to recreation.
The writer who said that British
liberties were bounded on one side
by the Magma. Charta and on the
Iother by the weekend, might be par
APPRAISED to read that the rights of
American labor have been guarded
fore and aft by the union card and
the Saturday half holiday The ces-
sation of work at noon Saturday du-
ring he hot months has long been a
custom which nothing avalcd to
change-until the war unicd hcte-
rogeneous nation into compact
! fighting force.
But union labor picnics will be few
in number this summer, for holidays
even time-honored legal holidays
such as Memorial Day--have been
sacrificed to the greater need OF
speed in the building of ships.
Aggregate results of the added in
dustry are astounding. Dith a total
of 100000 men employed in ship
yards, even one days extra work is
equivalent to the creation of hun
dreds of new tons of shipping.
The spontaneous example of tn;
metal workers and shipwrights on the
Pacific Coast-whcre shib. uild:nr Is
at its swiftest pace in this country
in voting to stay on the job Saturda,
afternoons during the summer, came
to the attention of President Wilson

probation to the Portland! Metal
Trades Council:
May | not say | sincere y admire
and applaud the patriotic action TAX
ell by the Metal Trades Council at
Portland with regard to half hoii-
days? 1t sets up high and ad-
mirable standard of patriotism "
The employees Of the Sun Shipbuiid-
ing Company at Cheste-. Pa. on May
20 contributed a full days service
without pay, assigning their wages
to the Philadelphia Wac Chest cam
paign.
A similar service on that date was

469 men, toiled from morning till
night ,one Saturday, without pay, be-
cause they wanted to do for their
country in war time more than theiI
country was asking them to do.
/ This inspiring fighting spirit
among the shipyard workers has re.
peatedly drawn from the officials OF
tho Shipping Board enthusiastic rec.
ognition and appreciation. Chairman
Hurley telegraphcd the South Jack
lsonvi]le workers:
"Such spirit of loyalty and en-
ergy as you men displayed will has
ten materially the building of ships
for which there is such vital need a
this critical time"
The gift of Memorial Day from thu
workers of the Sanderson g. Porter
plant at Raymond, Wash, drew from
