WHAT COUNTRY MUST DO
FOR IT'S DISABLED SOLDIERS
Problems of Reconstruction Confront American Red
& Cross with New Tasks and New Responsibilities.

When American soldiers, blinded in
battle, recover from their immediate
wounds at the base hospitals in France
special work for them is commenced.
Later they are brought to the United
States Military General Hospital No.
~ at Baltimore, for further medical
and surgical treatment and special
teaching. The ideal of the government
will be to place every blinded man in
condition to take care Of himself and
those dependent on him. In many
cases. it is hoped. the men will be able
to command larger salary after TAX
ing their training than before they lost
their sight.
American Red Cross has supple
mented the Army's plan by creating
the Red Cross Institute for the Blind.
One of its functions will be to provide
certain financial aid to equip the blind
man after his re-educatiOn is complct-
ed, as. for instance, furnishing type
writer's to those who enter CONNER
cial life 1t will be uncarthing new oc-
equations, helping to establish homes
and arrange home work for those who
cannot go into offices or factories.
But it will do something else that is,

CARING FOR THOSE
WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND

Because of her continued absence
from school and the fact that she lived
in rather an undesirable neighborhood
and was on the streets all day school
teacher recently brought to the atten-
tion of the Home Service department
Of the Red Cross the story of girl Of
ten years whose mother was i'll and
whose only other relatives were two
brothers, one in camp and the other a
youth Of seventeen whose earnings
seemed to be the only means of sup
port for the family.
The Home Service worker called,
found the mother very i'll and needing
hospital care at once. Arrangements
were made for the mothers care and
also for home for the girl in the
country where she would receive real
home training and love. The mother
grew worse and died soon afterwards.
The scventeen-year-od boy enlisted
The boy in camp had not known that
his mother needed his help. but was
glad TO contribute from his pay when
the true circumstances we're made
known. The girl is now In the cOun-
try, going TO school, and is receiving
allotmcnts from both of her brothers
and is well cared for. She is under
the WatcIlful care of the Home Service
workers and comes to them often for
counsel. -

again, Christmas story. This Red
Cross Institute will, in SO far as is hu-
manly possible, have the relative who
will be responsible for the care of the
blind man when he returns home, take
the government training side by side
with him, as is now done by the British
and French: With this full under
standing at home of his difficulties ana
possibilities, many an ambition at first
undreamed Of may he fulfilled.
Through the gift of Jeremiah Mil
bank Of New York the Red Cross was
enabled to establish in New YORK It's
experimental Red Cross Institute for
Crippled and Disabled Men. One of
its principal objects is to assist in the
general campaign of public education
regarding the results which can be ac-
conlplishcd by Systematically refrain
ing disabled men for occupations in
which they can successfully compete
with able-bodicd men.
"Thus equipped writes W. Frank
Persons, Director General of Civilian
Relief Of the American Red Cross,
"they may confidently look forward to
future of normal human work and
play"

SUGAR ALLOTMENT NOW
q POUNDS A PERSON

Although the sugar dan has not
been lifted, housewives need not over
tax their drains, as heretofore, in
regard to using the designed al
lotment to the best advantage, for,
beginning this week the Unite dStates
went on a sugar ration Of four pounds
per person.
While certificates will not be re-
puired by dealers, they will be kept
under the ruling of the sixty-day sup
ply order, according to word received
by the Minnesota food administra-
ton from Washington today.
States is on much greater basis
than that of other countries. While
the United States goes on the four
poundsration per person, England is
allowed two pounds, France IL
pounds and Italy Z. Germany has
been self-supporting in the matter of
sugar.

WILHELM z SIGNS
ABDICATION D'CREE
BRITISH OFFICIAL SAYS THAT
FORMER. KAISER MUST AC-
COUNT FOR CRIMES.

London, Nov. 30-Emperor Will
helm signed his abdication at Emer-
<ongeon, Holland, yesterday, according
to a dispatch to the Wolff bureau.
The abdication decree, according to
the message, expressed the hope that
the new regent would be able to pro-
tect the people against anarchy,
starvation and foreign supremacy"
The use Of the term new regent" is
regarded here as significant.
London, Nov. 30 The condition
governments policy, if it is returned
to power, will be to insist upon per-
sonal accountability of former Emper-
O. William for the crimes for which
he personally was responsible. Sen.
ator Frederick E. Smith, British at
torney general, said in an election
speech at Wimborne yesterday.
Sir Frederick said the government
was determined that the former en-
pa-or should be given an opportunity
t. answer the charges that had been
pl eferred against him respecting the
Submarine murders and the outrages
on prisoners and that it was equally
&c. ermined to make the criminals pay
the penalty.
1t would make no distinction be-
tween the occupants Of high offices
AID those in humble places. 1t was
also the intention of the coalition
government, the speaker declared, to
punish Germany which had broken
! every law, human and divine.
q With regard to the Germans in
termed in England, the attorney gen.
era! announced. it was the govern
.nsnt's intention to send them back

lie death, on Sunday afternoon, Of
their infant son Lloyd Faucet, who
came as u joy and comfort to the

VASHBURN SCHOOL
TO OPEN DEC. 18TH
BOARD PLANS ON HAVING EVERY Y
THING GOING FULL SWING
IN ANOTHER WEEK

Although conditions in WashEurn,
with respect to the epidemic, show
considerable Improvement, the school
board has decided that the schools
will remain open for another week
Principal Morgan has been Instructed
to inform all the teachers to be on
OH hand and ready for duty on Mon
day, December 16. This means that
the usual Christmas vacation will be
dispensed with, although Of course,
Christmas Day and New Years Day
will be observed, as required by law.
If the schools open on December 16,
il means the schools will have been
closed for seven weeks This is a
favorable showing in comparison with
schools not only in North Dakta, but
throughout the country, on the whole.
One week is lost in school work
By the holding Of the county institute,
and since it was, not held this year,
this means that six weeks work will
have to be made up.
The teachers are confident that
most OF the six weeks can be made
up, with the cooperation of the pupils
and patrons From the present pro-
sract. the school should get through
with its work before the end of June

council now in session at Versailles.
I; is expected that the peace pact will
be drawn up before spring. Presi-
dent Wilson, however, is expected to
attend only the preliminary sessions
Despite a great deal of opposition
throughout the country, President
Wilson has decided to go, he told
Congress in joint session last Mon
day, saying the Allied governments
have accepted principals of peace sug-
gested by him.
President Wilson expressed the
hope he would have the cooperation
OF the public, and Congress, saying
constant counsel and advice would
be possible through the cables and
wireless
Most Of his address was devoted to
the railroad problem, Tor which the
president said he had no solution to
offer. He recommended careful
study by Congress, saying it would
be disscrvice to the country and
railroads to permit a return to old
conditions, under private manage
mHnt.
He said he could not outline any
program for reconstruction now. AS
to taxation, he. sanctioned the plan
for levying s6,00O.0OO,OOO in 1919 and
$4,00O,0 900 900 in 1920.

BATTLE Or =ARG0NNE
ROY VAIL, IN LETTER, GIVES IN
+ TERESTING ACCOUNT OF GER
MAN DUG OUT

Roy Wahl, of WasnDurn, with Com
many c., 10th Field Signal battalion,
in france, participated in the Battle
~: Argonne forest, in which the Amer
lean troops performed some ma5nl-
.icient exploits. The young soldier,
il a letter to his folk here, says:
THE only real battle that I have
rCen in was in the drive that start
ed September 26,and it was some bat
tie. I'll never forget 1t.
"We followed the infantry and
strung telephone wires and put in tel
eDhones and switchboards and took
care of the communication. During
the drive I was linelnan. When the
lire was out of order (mostly caused
" bursting shells) the lneman had
to go out and fix them, no matter how
heavy the shelling, for they have to
have communications.
AT night, when it is dark as pitch,
il is quite a job to go out and fix
them You can't use any light what
ever. Many times while we were
fixing or putting in lines, the shells
we're falling all around us. Then we
would get into shell hole or go to
a dugout, if there was one nearby.
"One of the hills that we captured
was quite a place. A big tunnel ran
through it, deep underground and nu
merous small tunnels and dugouts
branched off it. In this place the
Germans had electric lights, running
water, bedsteads, rocking chairs,
dressers and bureaus and chinaware.
They surely were fixed comfortably.
This paper I am writing on was
found in German dugout by one of
my friends, -. "'
we were in the drive six days and
advanced about twelve miles. When
we were relieved we were, pretty tired
and a rest was welcome. I could
have picked up many souvenirs but
5sI didn't for it is too much to carry,
when you. want nothing that you don't
really need. When we are in. the
55tsencIie we. don't have SO much ex-
%citemsnt, !, for we are then first hold-
