NO DoG-DAYs IN WAR

Tine months that normally are identi- fed with the term vacation time" are at hand Some fortunate persons will have their vacations as usual this year A great number will not. The grim busi- ness of war recognizes no dog days. Thousands and tens of thousands who otherwise would be enjoying restful out

 At this time, above all others, no waste full vacation for anyone is justified Re member you who are fortunate enough to get away from daily routine for summers outing that your country and humanity still have a claim on your services. Don't give up the Red Cross work that has interested you during the preceding months Don't forget that there is unceasing work to be done for the boys over there" and for the brave people who are bearing the most terri be part of the common burden. Wher- ever you are, a Red Cross chapter pr branch or chapter will be within visiting distance.

At Camps Upton, sherman and others units have already been founded for remedial training in physical defects. Men who are considered unfit for ac- tive duty in the line because of certain minor weaknesses are taken into the rehabilitation units where they are stud- jed individually and given proper care and exercise under the direction of both medical and line officers. A majority of these soldiers are made fit to return to the line; and others not physically capa- ble are assigned clerical jobs. thus re- leasing able-bodied men to take their places with the fighting forces.

AGED MOTHER PAYS
 VISIT TO SON IN
 MCCLELLAN PRISON

Anniston July 1S.-(Special )-Mrs. Ida L. Dundon, s03 Light street, Baltimore, the aged mother of Jack Dundon, stock ade prisoner at Camp Mcclellan is in the city on a visit to her son, and her terest feature to the story of her sons career since he landed in the Calhoun county jail last fall.
 Mrs. Dundon had not seen her son in three years, and had a great deal of diff fioulty in recognizing the full-grown man in the camp stockade as the chubby faced youngster who left home four years years ago. Jack Dundon was a member of Company l. 116th infantry regiment, joining this outfit after serving in the army and navy. He was arrested last November on six charges of forgery, and recently he was released from the county jail and turned over to the military au- u critics at Camp Mcclellan, following a wave of public interest in his case aroused by an appeal from him to the people for whom he was willing to fight.
 Since he was turned back to the army he has been confined at the stockade, and has been allowed to visit the city a few times under guard. Since his mother has arrived for a visit to him Dundon has renewed his efforts to se- cure a reinstatement into the army prcrer The roads between Anniston and Camp Mcclellan makes travelling a diff ficult matter and the aged mother is unable to understand why her son is prevented from coming into the city while she is here.
 The matter of securing even temporary freedom for the Baltimore lad whose mother has made the long journey be- tween that city and Anniston to visit him will be taken up directly with Brig Gen. T. N. Horn by interested Anniston people.
 Dundon's case has attracted more than usual attention. He is alleged to have forged half a dozen checks and passed them on unsuspecting merchants. receiv- ing merchandise and change in each instance from the business men. When he was released from the county jail about month ago an Anniston mer- chant who had become interested in him, presented the former infantryman with a nice Stetson hat and pair of regulation shoes and the Anniston peo- pie generally have exhibited interest in the case of the young man who has fallen. into evil ways.
 Dundon denies that he forged the checks on which he drew the money, but admits that he presented them for payment and received the merchandise and money as charged by the authori- ties.

 FRENCHMEN LIKE INDIANS
 F'renchmen of the twentieth century have to begin where North American In dians began-by hunting for food, tenn porary shelter. a few clothes to cover them, a handful of household goods and utensils, such as pots, pans, knives and spoons, an agricultural implement or two, perhaps rabbit and some chickens, and, if they are lucky, a goat or donkey.
 It is to help such people as these that the American Red Cross has located great relief warehouses behind the lines of strategic points, and is shipping food, clothes, blankets beds, mattresses, stoves kitchen utensils, reapers and bin- ders. moving machines. threshing ma chimes garden tools and hundreds of oth- Ter articles of prime importance to peo- pie who were prosperous and content ed only four years ago
 In all, about 10000 articles, compris- ing everything from pumps to clean polluted wells, to window glass to re- pair damage done by air raids, have been shipped to the devastated areas. Among the especially interesting grants of money was that of 5000 francs to promote agriculture in devastated regions to make possible the setting out or 49,- 900 fruit trees in the. destroyed orchards of the northern departments of France.
 RE-EDUCATIONAL WORK
 An extensive survey for re-edueation- al work in France for war cripples has been made. comparatively small amount of French re-educational work has been agriculture, and the American Red Cross therefore has taken steps to- wards establishing a model farm and agricultural center. Machinery for this center is now on order in France and America and the actual work should be well established before spring.
 Such agricultural activities by the Red Cross has not alone been confined to France. but has extended to other war ravaged countries. To Monastir seeds and American farm machinery for the cultivation of 20,o0o acres are now being rushed for the use of 4o,000 Serbian refu- gees.
