10000 ANXIOUS WRITE
RED CROSS EACH WEEK

The bureau Of communication Of the
American Red Cross, that branch of
the organization which tries to keep
lighting men in touch with their fam
lies. has been lately handling some
80. 900 queries each week. according
to the latest installnlent of the report
being issued to all chapters by the
war council of the organization. TWO
months ago the number was running
only about 5000.
Because Of the success Of the COM
work in connection with
the overseas forces the service has
been extended to the training camps
in the United States at the request
of the War Department Queries con-
corning soldiers who have failed to
write home OF who are reported miss
ing, killed, wounded. sick or taken
prisoners are cared for by the bureau.
Red Cross searcherS-there are 100 of
them in France-obtain the desired in
formation and 1t is forwarded to the
anxious families.
The bureau of prisoners relief is
the only organization authorized to
aid American prisoners of war. When
a man is officially reported prisoner
the bureau notifies his family that it
will look out for his welfare. In adj
dition to forwarding mail. money and
to the prisoners the bureau
sends to each man twenty pounds of
food every week. Up to the present
time only q few Of these food parcels
have failed to reach their destination.

In the midst Of this rejoicing came
news of cholera epidemic which

TENTS The doctors and nurses Of the
American Zionist medical unit were
rushed to the scene at once. Liberals
is the only place that seems to have
suffered so severely. At Saffed there
is no epidemic. only the usual dis
tress. Many Jews are awaiting re-
patriation. DR.. Elder and Commenda-
tore Bianchini of the Zionist COM
mission have visited Haifa, Saffed and
Tiberias and several Of the Jewish
colonies in the newly liberated terri
tory. They reported that s150,o00 is
needed Immediately for relief in the
newly liberated territory.
The celebrations in Palestine ex-
tended also to Haifa, where a public
meeting was held in the college. The
first work of the meeting, which was
organized by. the Jewish community,
was to send resolutions to DR.. Weiz-

ing the deepest gratitude for the
work that has been done on behalf
of the Jewish people.

RlVERDALE MAN WRITES
OF HEAPED HUN DEAD

1t was nothing to sec fifty or sixty
dead Germans piled in ono heap during
the operations Of the American forces
early in October. writes Sergt Francis
P. ketner Of Riverdale. Nd, to his
mother there. Sergt Ketner says he
has German cap picked up on the field
of battle for souvenir. Helmets are
plentiful. but too heavy to carry, he ex-
plains.
So far advanced was this soldiers

wornout garments with clothing from
the salvage pile accumulated on the field
of battle.

none Of us was hurt. The general COM

you which one"

The arrival Of Gen. A1lenby's troops
in Galilee set the Jewish commune
ties In that section of Palestine ablaze
with joy. According to advices re-
eeived by the Zionist Organization of
America, the inhabitants of the Cali
leean colonies are even now unable
TO believe the evidence of their eyes.
The liberation came so suddenly. the
Turkish debacle was so complete. that
many were prompted to quote De-
borah's song of old. 'They fought
from heaven. the stars in their course
fought against Sisera, the river of
kishon swept them away"
People who have arrived in Jerusa-
lem from Galilee say that the scenes
that took place when the first British
troops arrived were indescribable.
Soldiers were carried shoulder high:
people embraced one another and
wept for joy. The demonstration was
followed by rejoicing in the syna-
gogue after prayers had been recited
for the welfare of the British royal

Plumer and Degoutte's French army
in Flanders. Then, as the month ends,
Pershing and Gouraud again.
Now bear in mind the dates. Luden-
dorm struck on March 81; he was
finally checked on July Is and 10.
Four months Of effort precede the
failure. Foeh opened his offensive on
August 8. and in the last days of Sep
TENDER LudendorR advises his govern
ment to make peace proposals: the
until the defeat Of october s: then it
appeals to President Wilson. Events
in other fields have Influenced the de-
cision. but two months after the OPEN
ing Of the Foch offensive its success
Is no longer doubtful. As the third
month closes France Is all but free,
the Belgian coast is free.
Look at it from the side Of the OBJ
stacles: The four lines of defense; the
innumerable switch lines. the rivers
which fights well even in defeat, still
provided with all the modern weapons
OF war. One of the tragedies of this
war lies in the fact that German
methods have been so despicable; that
German courage, endurance, military
skill are forgotten in the horror and
contempt at German crimes. But this
/ great army. these unparalleled de-
lenses. are all mastered in less than
four months; the war is won, for, even
L
the long succession Of German re-
verses would have brought Bulgaria
and Turkey to the point Of surrender
and Austria to tho verge Of revolu-
ton.
Foeh and Napoleon.
What Napoleonic campaign can be
hereafter reckoned to surpass that Of
Foch as a merely military achieve
ment? British. French, American.
Italian. Belgian troops, an perfectly
controlled by q single hand, all used
!! with exact coordination. all made to
contribute to the uttermost Of their
possibilities, and-in less than four
ing of the German machine, the Ger
man army plucked bodily from its
vast defenses and flung out Of France.
On the military side, had any drama
ever SO fine fifth act as this the fifth
campaign Of the world-war?
And, as the struggle ends. we in
America have a just right to recall
with pride that our own young Army
has been the final reserve Of civiliza-
ton flung on the decisive battlefield,
still unready. but rising to supreme
heights, to unbelievable achievement,
to final success in the face Of OBJ
stacles which cannot even yet be un-
derstood.
Before the achievements Of French
and British soldiers on the Same fields
we shall forever stand in awe and adj
miration. The long agony. that pre-
coded the dawn of victory was borne
by them with a steady courage and
an unfailing devotion which make all
praise seem feeble and foolish.
But If we came late. we came in
time. If our contribution was small
by comparison with that Of France OF
Britain, it was the contribution with
ont which victory waa fmposSib1e and
our soldiers who spent their blood
generously from st. Mfhiel to Sedan
played a large and honorable role in
the final success.

French opened the British phase of
the war: pursuit to the Belgian from
tier in the center by the French
armies returning by the roads along
which LAnzerac had retreated after
and beyond the Mouse by Pershing's
young army. whose achievement it
was to retake Sedan and by new
splendors extinguish the old, unhappy
memories attaching to that city.
BY Sunday. November 10. whose Of
military history of the war. the
broken German armies were fleeing

the outskirts of Metz. They were still

before the military front yielded.
Foch-Iudendorn Contrast.
Now we have to contrast the Foch
method with that of LudendorR
Both had the same, problem before
them. Ludendorn worked at his from
March 21 to July IS. Foch opened his
offensive on July 8. and had his solu-
ton in hand by the LIST day of Novem-
Der. Both soldiersWer troubled by
the element Of time. Ludendorff by
the necessity Of getting a decision
before America could take a real
hand. Foch had to have a decision
before winter stopped the operations
Ludendorff had almost four months;
Foch is still q fortnight poorer in
time. But bad weather now will not
affect him. his success has been SO
complete.
Ludendorf conceived that he could
win the victory by one gigantic
thrust. He returned to the opening
days Of the war and undertook to
succeed where Moltke had failed. His
first blow, on March 81. was one of the
finest pieces of military mechanics in
the history of war. 1t came mighty
near to winning the continental phase
