Provisions.


Butter.-There has been on change
in quotations locally during the past
week, but at Coast points an advance
of 1c was recorded. Local jobbers are
of the opinion that it will react and
that there is a possibility of lower
levels here as the season of increased
supply is only just starting.
Eggs.-The price to the producers
was advanced 1Oc per case this week,
but with the near approach of hot
weather loss off will have to be reck-
oned so that quotations will likely be
some easier.
Fresh Meats-Market is holding
without change as to quotations with
the exception of pork, which shows
stronger tendencies and it may go still
higher.
Poultry-The quotation on hens has
eased off some over that which has
been prevailing since the restrictions
were lifted and are now given at 200
24c. Broilers are very high at 35c,
while other items on the list remain
unchanged.
Lard and Cured Meats.-Market is
strong but without price changes on
the week.
Hides and Wool.-Quotation on
hides are up a little, but owing to
proposed government supervision, con
ditions are rather unsettled, with NO
quotations on wool at present.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Valencia oranges still hold at $3.50
@7O0 while seedlings are off the job
bling market.
Lemons remain as heretofore al
$3.50 for fancy and $500 for choice
Bananas have taken another Leap
upward and are now jobbing at &c pei
pound.
Grapefruit is some easier this week
the quotations ranging from $500 to
5000 according to size and quality.

GERMAN RETREAT BRINGS
new WORK FOR RED CROSS

In France the retreat of the German
armies and the redemption of wide ter
ritory has produced tremendous ex-
pansion of all Red Cross activities.
The German retreat widens the syste-
matte destruction not only of cities
and villages, but of practically every
thing in the evacuated territory.
1t will be necessary to provide at
once for the housing of homeless refu-
gees in the devastated areas and in
the temporary reconstruction of viii
lagos. It will be necessary to provide
also clothing, cloth and dressmalxing
supplies, sewing machines, in addition
to fOodstutfs and medical supplies,
throughout all this territory.
With the coming again of winter, the
fight against tuberculosis must be talk
en- up with renewed energy. Seventy
six tuberculosis hospitals have been
completed and are in operation, but
acquisitions have been made for nine
ty-six provisional hospitals, all to be
in operation before winter. The Red
Cross has adopted as slogan "to visit
every baby in France" It is estimat-
ed that $4,000 French babies died last
year, 10000 Of whom might have been
saved. One Of the immediate objects
Of the Red Cross is to save those 10000
babies in 1919.

RED CROSS takes
HOME TO THE BOYS

The French soldiers have furloughs
which they can spend at home. The
English fighters go back to Blighty
But our boys have the ocean between
them and home. They cannot come
home on furlough, and it remains for
the American Red Cross to try and
take home to them.
This Is particularly true In regard
to the convalescent homes. Here all
reversion to hospital life is avoided
Books, games. music, social evenings
and home-like surroundings help them
to throw off the grim business Of war
until they are really able to recover
The housekeeper is always a mother
ly woman, usually American, who
looks after the comfort of her charges
and helps them to pack up all imagl-
nary troubles in the old kit bag
The American Red Cross now has
six Of these homes in operation.

SERVICE ON WHEELS

In modern warfare there is much
portable relief work done. Instead Of
carrying the wounded man to hospital
and canteen, canteen and hospital are
moved to him. The first thing that Isl
done for man after the battle is to
give him something to eat. The Amer,
lean Red Cross has rolling canteens
that take not bouiilon, Coffee tea, CO.
Goa, lemonade and sandwiches right to-
the front line trenches. 10 the man
who is wounded there is a mobile hos
pital brought to his very elbow. This
is the "autochir," a special motor truck
that carries a complete surgical hospi7
tai right to the front. )
These are some Of the things that
the people of America are doing for
the comfort and welfare of the boys
over there by enrolling. their names in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
The Red Cross button and the Red
Cross Service Flag should everywhere
be in evidence during the week Of De-
cember 10th to the 23d as outward
symbols of this annual rededication to
Red Cross service.

AMERICAN GIRLS BRING
CHEER TO WOUNDED.

my wound hurts like h, but
don't intend to pass up this chance to
talk to an American girl"
This sentiment, voiced by an Ameri.
can soldier, reflected the feelings of
many of his wounded comrades when
they arrived in Paris after the recent
Franco-American drive north of Yer
dun, according to reports just received
by the American Red Cross from work
ers in Paris. These reports, testifying
to the wonderful cheerfulness of the
wounded men, say that many of them
refused to continue their Journey to
the hospital until they had chance
to chat with the American women in
charge of the canteens.

George, speaking in Bristol, said the
decision which would be taken In the

ence was going to leave mark on the
world. The ages to come, he said

The premier next dealt with the
question of indemnity. He said the
war had cost Germany less than it had
cost Great Britain. 1t had cost Great
Britain, he said, $4,000, 100000, a
gigantic SUM. The German bill, he
believed, was $4,000, 100000 to $685.,
000,000.000.
The premier said British imperial
commission had been appointed to in.
vestigate the capacity of Germany to
pay, and that he had received it's re.

'First-As far as justice is con

demand the whole cost Of the war
from Germany.
With regard to the former German
emperor, the premier said:
There is absolutely no doubt that
he has committed crime against in.
ternational rights, and there is abso.
lutely no doubt that he ought to be
held responsible for it, SO far as the
European allies are concerned"
