is not q temporary condition and that
it will continue so long as the profes.
sion is poorly paid was emphasized by

RED CROSS BUREAU
TO SEND news TO
FOLKS AT Home
GATHERING INFORMATION
THROUGH PARIS OFFICE.
Details of Casualties at the Front
Given to Soldiers
Relatives. ST. 81

To give relatives of American soi-
diers details OF casualties at the front
the American Red Cross has organized
at national headquarters a Bureau OF
Communication, of which William II.
Castle, Jr., formerly Assistant Dean
of Harvard College and editor of the
Harvard Graduates Magazine. IL di-,
rector. This Bureau supplements I'm
a personal and humanitarian way the
reports of the Statistical Division of
the War Department, which gives TO
relatives official notice when a soldier
is reported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally results
from the official report to relatives
that a soldier has been wounded" or
is missing" will as far as possible be.
dispelled by the Bureau, which Will
advise I'm detail the nature and extent
of the wound, and will gather evidence
from comrades I'm arms and at the hos,
pitfalls and rest camps regarding those
reported missing"
Central Office In Paris. p
Any information Of interest or con-
ISOLATION TO relatives thus obtained will
be transmitted, to them through per-
sonal letters. Messages from the
wounded will be conveyed through
this same agency.
The information on which the Bu-
reau will base its reports is gathered
through central Office In Paris, under
the direction of Il. Gerry Chadwick
of New York, aided by the Rev. Robert
Davis of Englewood, N. j., and thirty
assistants.
With the increase of the American
forces and participation in the war,
this number will have TO be greatly
increased.
For the present the Bureau is re-
porting on all cases that come TO Its
attention. However, IL is probable
that with the increase of reports from
the front, information will be sent
only to relatives requesting IL, except
in cases OF those imprisoned or re-
ported missing"

APPROPRIATIONS
FOR WAR RELIEF
REACH BIC sum
$77,843,435.35 Set Aside by Red
Cross for Work at Home
and Abroad.

The War Council of the American
Red Cross has just made public re-
port showing appropriations totaling
$77, S43, 1885, which were made from
the Red Cross War Fund up to jan
uary 8. For foreign relief, the report
states, 1867 1859 was set aside, ST.
612, 532. 60 has been appropriated for
United States relief and $24,323, 1S1. II
expended for supplies, either for for
eign shipment or for distribution or
resale to Red Cross Chapters in this
country.
The latter item, the statement sets
forth, includes $7,O63, 649.t2, which is
included also in the $40, 519, 259.60, APP
propriated for work in France, as we'll
as $11 ,2SS,417 for material for resale
to chapters. According to the report,
it may thus be considered as working
fund and as liquid asset rather than
an expenditure
The total appropriations for admins
tration at national headquarters and
at division headquarters, of which
there are IA, amounted to S1,2S9,292
for the last six months period. This
includes 1886, 900 for divisional admin
istration expenses and $250,00O donat-
ed for telegraph and cable service,
the latter item extending over a con-
siderably longer period of time.
Dues Pay Administration Cost.
Appropriations for administration
did not come out of the War Fund,
but were more than covered from the
portion of membership dues received
at national headquarters, the War
Council says. These membership dues,
which more than paid for all admins
trative. expenses, were dues received
before the recent membership drive
was made.
The report. of the War Council
states:
mo expenses of administration in
the United States were paid for out of
the Red Cross War Fund. All admin
istration is more than met by men,
bership dues. Thus every dollar con-
tributed for relief goes to relief"
The following is a recapitulation of
appropriations as announced by the
War Council:

q. CoNLEY AT FISH HAVEN

I

all Of whom spoke words OF comfort
to the lbereaved family and paid high
tribute to the sterling worth and up
right character OF the deceased. Mu-
sic was furnished by the ward choir.
Burial was in the Fish Haven Gene

A sad feature of the occasion was
that of the four sons of Mr.. Conley,
only the youngest, Findlay, was able
to be at the funeral. Daniel, the old
est, was out in the hills of Wyoming
and could not be located in time to
be at home for the funeral. Gilbert,

WHEN THE BOYS COME BACK.


Some day the boys will come back
from France. Many will be returned
before the war endb. Finally there
will be a large number who will be
back home, war-worn and nerve-sha-
ken. Most of them will welcome an
opportunity to get onto the land.
Would it not be wise and benevo-
lent act for the government to set
aside large tract in each of the arid
and semi-arid states to be turned over
to these soldiers in 4O-acre tracts,
with the irrigation systems all ready
for. them, and the land cleared, the
work so far as possible being done by
the Germans now informed here, and
others who may be interned or sent
to prison?
To that should be added an allot-
ment OF money for development, Civ
ing the soldier-farmers rs years to
pay it back without interest, actual
residence and cultivation being re-
quired.
Under such plan not only would
the United States give an exemplifl-
cation of it's gratitude to those who
have fought it's battles but it would
provide enormous added production
during period when it will be need
ed as badly as now in view of the con-
dftions in Europe as we'll as here.
Last year there were raised on
more than $60,O0O,0OO worth of
crops, $50 for each acre under culti-
vation-$S0 an acre more than the
average raised on all the farms in the
country.
That is the record of reclamation
proJects-yet congress SO far refuses
to provide any extension and insists
upon combining appropriations to the
receipts from reclamation payments
applicable only to existing projects.
That is shortsighted policy at any
time. It is positive folly at a time
when opportunity is offered to give
some measure of practical reward to
our soldiers and make it possible for
them to continue with the plow the
work they started with the sword.
The war has revealed how this
country has gone on for years in a
FOOLS paradise. There has been little
Of constructive policy for the future.
We have lived from day to day, un-
prepared not only in military sense,
but In civic sense. We have hardly
seen farther than our noses.
Is it not about time that we took
common sense action to the end that
when emergencies arise in the future
they will find us ready?-Capital

Germany is complaining today, or
rather its autoeraey is SO doing, be-
cause President Wilson insists on a
real popular government to deal with.
Truly France, especially of the al.
lied power against Germany, has her
revenge today. The Kaiser's trickery
to preserve himself must fail. and
have the deaf ear of the Allied Powers
turned to it. According to Bismarck's'
dictum, with the tables turned: he
and his minions must go, the German
people may negotiate after an hon

THE GERMAN RETREAT

The horrors of the German retreat
from France and Belgium equal in
some ways the horrors of the German
advance Thousands of French women,
children and old men have been left
homeless and foodless in the aban-
doned regions Of France, without
roofs to cover their heads, clothes to
cover their nakedness or bread to
keep from furnishing. In Belgium
armies of beggared refugees have
been driven to seek, like paupers, an
asylum in Holland, where they can
at least beg their bread without fear
of murder and sudden death. In Brus-
sells $4,000 refugees are sleeping in
the parks and subsisting on whatever
they can find. All males from 1G to
so are being "remoyed." In Bruges,
where the Germans were reported to
have behaved with startling modera-
ton in their leavetaking, houses were
stripped of furniture and pictures,
and factories left industrial wrecks.
AS an exchange observes, the rul-
ing passion of frightfulness and theft
is still strong in death. Even as The
criminal marches toward the dock for
trial, he plumbers and outrages all
who come in his way.

It may not be known to many that
the mother of President Wilson was
born. at Carlisle, the county town of
Cumberland, England 1t is a very
ancient city, only eight miles from
the Scottish border, and is a great
railway center, well known to tour

marriage of Sir Walter Scott to Miss
Charlotte Charpentier, the daughter
of French refugee, in 1897. And
