RELIEF WORK IN BELGIUM

Washington, ID. G., Oct. 20, 1918.
Relief work by the American Red
Cross in Belgium necessitated an ex-
penditure Of si,432,37i for the ten
months ending June 80. This amount
went 10 provide comforts and medi-
cal assistance for Belgian soldiers,
10000 residents OF that part Of the
little country outside the German
lines and the 100000 Belgian ref
ugees scattered through France,
England, Holland, and Switzerland.
The sum Of 1917, 325 has been ap-
propriated 10 continue this work
during the last six months Of this
year. Thus by the end Of the year
the Red Cross will-since the war
began-have appropriated for use
among the Belgians the sum Of So
379,699. These are the outstanding
facts in the current section of the
War Councils report relative TO the
use being made Of the Red Gross
war fund.
The establishment Of eighiy-two
canteens, which provide daily re-
freshments for 25,000 soldiers, the
financial assistance given 10 nine
hospitals that are combating dis
ease among the civilian population
and refugee colonies, the construc-
ton and support Of barracks
which shelters 400 children and the
maintenance Of a home for disabled
Belgian soldiers are a few OF the
things the Red Cross has done for
the courageous little kingdom and
its people.
About 1900 Belgian children in
the countries mentioned are health
Ter and happier as a result OF day
nurseries established by the organi-
cation.
Cooperation between the Red
Cross and the Belgian government
has been so effective that this aid
has been distributed largely through
the medium Of Belgian agencies. A
donation Of one million francs 70
the Queen for the support Of the
hospital service and another Of hall
million francs TO insure the com
pletion Of large hospital were
among the first expenditures CT the
Red Cross in Belgium
The organization has established
what is known as the Queens purse
q fund Of five THOUSAND francs, which
is distributed among the country's
war victims. As free Belgium is
within easy range Of German guns
and bombs, hospitals in that terri
tory have been destroyed from time
TO time increasing the cost of re-
lief work.

HARD BREAD AND COFFEE MADE In FRANCE FOR u S ARMY

Green coffee, far less bulky in itself,
can be dumped into vessel as un-
tremendously as coal.
Ffe auartermaster is also having
the raw material for army hardware
sent over rather than the finished
product. Sheet metal takes up con-
siderably less room as sheet metal
than it does as galvanized iron pals
or field ranges.
Clothing is being made and bought
in England and France as far as is
practicable. When it has to be
shipped, it is baled by hydraulic pres
sure, so that summer undershirts now
come over in 600-pound packages as
big as an Office desk. Nothing is
boxed that can be bundled; boxes are
thick, and thickness means lost space.
Speaking of desks, the field desk
now comes over already filled with
all the necessary equipment. The in
side isn't allowed to come empty.
Shoes are coming unboxed, max
ing saving of 20 per cent in room.
Syrup cans are no longer round; they
are square Round cans leave q lot
of space between when they are piled
together.
Vegetables are not imported; they
are grown in France. The Versailles
garden, for instance, has turned out
this year 100000 seedlings and
5000 Kilograms Of seeds. And .
year ago most Of the gardeners didn't
know the difference between Q kilo-
gram and o caulinower.

Uncle Sam abroad is running many
Industries to keep him supplied with
necessities, and, incidentally, to save
much tonnage. His Quartermaster
Corps is now operating three cracker
factories devoted exclusively to pro-
ducing hard bread for the emergency
ration The corps also operates three
cOffee-roasting establishments which
eventually will produce enough prod
uct to insure hot coffee for 100000
men three times daily.
Bread and coffee is interesting, but
even more so is this seeming incl
dental of tonnage. Stars and Stripes,
soldierdom's journalistic organ over
seas, has this to say on the subject:
The coffee will be brought to
France green, unlike the people who
drink it. When coffee is roasted in
the States it loses on the way over
q lot of the fine aroma which Is fifty
per cent of any coffee, a statement
which will make whole lot Of
abused army cooks feel good.
But what In the world has all this
got to do with tonnage? Just this:
Tonnage is not so much a question
of weight as it is of room. Flour
and the other Ingredients of the
emergency ration take up far less
foom than does the puffy product, es-
pecially since that product has to be
boxed. When coffee il roasted 1t
Swells. Also, it has to be shipped
with some regard for future use.
