GET HOME MADE FURNITURE
Italian Refugees Fit Up Red Cross
Offices Out of Packing

Rome.-One example of wartime
economy lies in a new carpentry shop
at the American Red Cross central
warehouse in Rome. Here mounds of
packing cases have accumulated In
which for many months food and
clothing have been coming from Amer
lea. Recently a group of handmade
furniture appeared at Red Cross head
quarters, all made from packing case
wood. The work was done by italian
refugees employed originally in the
American Red Cross as porters, but
who had been carpenters in their old
homes before the Austrian invasion of
northern Italy last year.
Not only has the American Red
Cross acquired a supply of badly
needed Office furniture, but group
of victims of the war dislOdged from
their homes and from their normal
trades have been re-established in
their old callings. Dozens of Ameri-

Italy are now run on similar prln-

that are neither casual nor American.

Paris.-Some day the story Of what
American women have done over here
in France will be written. People
are cooking and baking for the Amer
lean boys with their helmets and gas
masks on the shelf. next the baking
powder can. They will learn of the
casual heroines who see nothing re-
markable in making hot chocolate In
shacks where the rain and the snow
come in on them through fresh shell
holes in the roof.
One of the women people will hear
about will be Mrs. Clara Simmons.
She is as close to the front line
here as any woman Is permitted to
go. For many days, during the active
fighting just over the hill from her,
she was the only woman in the entire
area. That didn't bother her at all.
The boys wanted hot chocolate, and
she could make it. So there you are.
And there she was.
She is a little bit of America, Of
American womanhood, dropped right
down in the middle of the fighting
zone. She looks more like home to
the boys than anything in the world,
except a letter. She has no pic
turesque ideas about carrying culture
and uplift to the soldiers. She's
There to work for them.
She works with huge mixing bowl

or eight open cans of condensed milk

pal clergyman serving as chaplain
with the Fifth field artillery, the regi-

the war, has written letter to DR..
Henry Barton Jacobs, prominent Bal
timorean, which was printed in full In
the current issue of the Manufacturers
Record, in which he discusses at length
crueltles inflicted by the Germans upon
civilians and soldiers.
II feel" he says, "that i express the
sentiment of those who have seen and
heard over here, when l say that were
in America today, priest as | am,
should do my best to have put to death
any Boche in America or any so-caned
American who would apologize in any
way for what the Boche has done.
"All that you have heard in America
about them does not approximate the
truth. There are little children right
here In France with their little stumps
of hands there were some not far from
my last camp, and young men with all
the fingers of their right hand cut off.
The other day British officer and
three Tommies told me that n short
time ago they went as an advance
party into q little village from which
the Boche had been driven back, and in
Il large room there were four young
Canadians crucitied, one on each wall
of the room.

"Also, when | was with the British
they told me the Boches had taken
young Belgian and French girls into
their first line trenches and tortured
them until their screams made the
Scotch and the Canadians so crazed
they would go over into the machine
gun nests which the Boche had set up,
using the wOmen's screams as decoy.
"And have 1t on the word of Brit.

officers) with guns leveled at their men
to keep them from going over when the
women scream, and being needlessly
slaughtered. l cannot tell you what
the Tommies told me they found when
they drove these hell-fiends out of these
positions; 1t Is too awful even to think
about. l also have it on the word Of
one of the greatest French abbes that
the Boche were especially instructed to
destroy convents-and kill or outrage
the nuns-and he says that all through
France and Belgium are ruined con-
vents, and that the nuns were given to
the soldiers to be outraged In camps.
"These are not isolated cases nor abb
normal conditions which prevail here

without restraint. Go along the French

sion you arrive nt is that they are

FARGOAN HELPS

LIVES In BLAZE.
ON TROOP SHIP.
Harry Cork And Other
Members Of Grew
Recommended

Details Of q, fire aboard the United
States transport Henderson 1000
miles out at sea, which endangered
the lives Of 1900 marines and sailors,
are contained in a letter received
here today by c. H. Cork, veteran
Fargo travelling salesman, from, his
son, Harry Corr, member Of the
crew Of the transport.
The marines and sailors were
transferred to another transport, the
Won Stuben, and the ship turned
around, and raced for the harbor.
The blaze was extinguished only
after a hard battle by the crew, who
were heartily praised for their heroic
work.
When fire broke out at 5 o'clock in
the morning, July 2, in~r the two for

were then 1000 miles at sea, bound
for France with 1000 marines and
sailors on board. At 10 o'clock that
night it was seen that we would
have to transfer them to the Won
>Stuben, which we did by putting
them on destroyers. This took un-
til 2 o'clock in the morning, when
we headed for the United States &C

Mob Violence
Is DebIOred BY
The President
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 23.-Deeply cons
cerned by manifestations of mob
spirit in widely separated parts of
the land, President Wilson is about
to issue a statensent to his country
men calling upon them to respect
the restraint Of law and order in
dealing with those whom they sus-
pect of being enemy aliens within
their midst.
One particular episode which has
disturbed the President very much
was the hanging of Robert p.
Praeger at Collinsville. Ill. last
April. The incident was discussed
in the German reichstag and it was
reported from Amsterdam Germany
was sending protest through dip
lomalc channels. The state depart
ment never has announced receiy-
ing one.
The government has learned Ger
many has made wide and damaging
use of the Praeger case and others
of a similar nature throughout Mex
leo and South America and even in
Europe. where the propaganda has
been at work to COntrOvert the Pres
ident's announcements of justice
for all
President Wilson is said by close
advisers to regard the situation as
one with mob spirit operating under
guise Of patriotism. Some Of the
Presidents friends say he regards
it not only as a dangerous evil, but
as a disgrace. because it strikes at
the nations morale, and feeds the
propaganda which represents the
United States as fighting for democ-
racy abroad and countenancing it's
destruction at home.

Roosevelt Was
Wounded During
Scissors Fight
(By Associated Press.}

Paris, July 23.-Major Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr, received the wound
in the left knee from which he is
suffering while leading his battalion
in an attack on a machine gun nest
at Ploisy, southwest Of SCISSORS on
Friday.
The Paris edition Of The Chicago
Tribune says the major reached the
American Red Cross on Friday even
ing. An operation was performed at
midnight by Lieutenant-Co Colonel
Joseph A. Blake Of New York. No
bones were broken by the bullet.
The majors tag, which is worn by
all wounded soldiers, read: Severe
gunshot wound"
Surgeons say it will be six weeks
before the major returns to the
front. Captain Archie Roosevelt
said yesterday that his brother was
resting easily in his own home on
Avenue Du Bots de Boulogne.
Major Roosevelt led the assault on
q machine gun nest, which was
particularly annoying to the Ameri-
cans. In the excitement, he went
"over the top" without a helmet and
when wounded was in the midst Of
the Germans. The nest was clean
ed out and the village Of Ploisy fell

for just enough volunteers to ham
die the ship, and to stay with her
while the rest Of the crew was
transferred to a destroyer.
I'VE certainly had a hard time,
and manned the pumps in four
hour shifts that night. Water was
coming over the forecastle on the
starboard side, and we were listed
IS degrees. We didn't expect to get
her in any more to fly, but we stuck
to it and did our dutry, which af-
terward proved enough to save her.
When the most Of the danger was
over, and we had the, parts plugged
up, the captain called us on deck
and praised US for our courage, and
promised to see that we got such
reward as was due us. He also sent
our names into Washington for hon
orable mention.
"The department in Washington
kept sending us kilograms, keep up
courage.
