American Red Cross institutions, it
is in the two districts ramed, where
unusual conditions prevail. hat it has
been most extensively di> :li''uted. In
each case sufficient flour was given
to greatly raise the nutritive value
of the bread ration for a period Of
from two to three months.
Four provinces in the district Of
Reggie Calabria received the flour.
In Cosenza, institutions in Sc towns
caring for 5000 children were supplied,
in Catanzaro, institutions in 81 towns
caring for $4,000 children, in Poten-
"a, Al towns and 1924 children, and
in Reggie Calabria, 81 towns and
1859 children, making a total in all
of 1855 towns and 1888 children who
were benefited by the improved bread.
In Sardinia 1885 sacks of flour
have been assigned to 81 institutions
caring for 1881 children. In general,
each child has a ration of $50 grams
a day, but in communities where spe-
cial conditions exist this was increas-
ed to 20, while in the American Red
Cross summer camps where the chill
dren are all undernourished and con-
valescent, the ration is 800 grams
daily.

ARMY STILL HAS. WORK TO DO.

ARMY STILL HAS. WORK TO DO.
Camp Lewis, Tacoma, WASH, Nov.
15.-Scores of soldiers stationed here
and relatives of soldiers already are
try ing to obtain the release of SOL
diers from the army. The attempts
should not continue and are demon
alizing to the morale of the army,
officers here said today.
Since news of the armistice sign
ing reached America telegraph wires
into Camp Lewis have been crowded
with messages to soldiers asking when
they will be returned and urging the
soldiers to obtain immediate release.
Attempts to obtain the release of men
can not be considered, it was said at
camp headquarters, until some plan
is announced by the war department
for the rehabilitation of the army.
"The prospects are that most men
now in the army will continue in the
service for a long period" said one
staff officer. "The civilian popula-
ton in many cases believes the job of
the army is done. This is not so, as
a memorandum read at retreat last
night shows"

REHABILITATION OF
OUR WOUNDED SOLDIERS

The United States government is
resolved to do its best to restore every
wounded American soldier and sailor
to health, strength, and self-support-
ing activity.
Until his discharge from the hospit-
al all the medical and surgical treat
ment necessary to restore him to
health is under the jurisdiction of the
military or naval authorities, accord
ing to the branch of the service he is
in. The vocational training, the re-
education and rehabilitation necessary
to restore him to self-supporting &C
tivity, is under the jurisdiction of the
federal board of vocational education.
If he needs an artificial limb or
mechanical appliance the government
will supply it free, will keep it in re-
pair, and renew it when necessary. If
after his discharge he again needs
medical treatment on account of his
disability, the government will sup.
ply it free. While he is in the hos.
pital and while in training afterward
the soldier or sailor will receive com.
~pensation as if in service and his fam.
lily or dependents will receive their al.
lotment.
A wounded soldier pr sailor, al.
though his disability does not prevent
him from returning to employment
without training, can take a course Of
vocational training free of cost AND
the compensation provided by the war
risk insurance act will be paid to him
and the training will be free, but nj
allotment will be paid to his family
Every Liberty bond holder who holds
his bond is keeping up a part of this
great work of restoring to health
strength, and usefulness the men Wit
have suffered for their country.

Care Committee.

More than 600 American women
now residing in England, members of
the "Care Committee" of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, are regularly visiting
wounded American soldiers now in
the hospitals of Great Britain. Mrs.
Robert Peet Skinner, wife of the
American consul-general, is in charge
of the headquarters of the committee
which has branch organizations in 20
cities throughout England. Ireland,
Scotland and Wales.
The committee is imeediately noti-
fled of the arrival in any hospital of
an American soldier, whether he be-
longs to the American army or to the
British or Canadian forces. More
than 5000 Americans in hospitals have
received personal calls from the wo-
men of the care committee during
the last few weeks. The visitors
made a special effort to keep the men
in touch with their relatives and
friesnd at home. Useful things to
wear, delicacies, comforts of various
kinds and copies Of their home papers
are provided by the committee.

Distribution Of White Flour.

Brown bread is among the lightest
of wars %hardships, but in cases where
the nourishment of poor and weaken
ed children requires the use of white
flour, the American Red Cross in Italy
has met the situation by the special
importation of white flour, through
an arrangement with the Italian gov
eminent, for the use of the young and
debilitated children.
The distribution of white flour in
Sardinia and Reggie Calabria has con-
stituted for some months one of the
largest and most important activities
of the department of civil affairs in
those two districts. While it has been

Aid Fire Suffers of Minnesota.
Big Lake, MIMI, a town Of 300 in
habitants, recently collected 1900
pounds of clothing, shoes and bedding
for fire sufferers of Minnesota.
This donation was made despite the
fact that during the previous week the
same community gave a large amount
of clothing to the commission for Bel
gian relief.
The following day after the clothes
shipment was made, the Red Cross
asked for canned fruit and vegetables
for the fire victims. The citizens re-
sponded by giving 10000 pounds of
provisions.

CRITICISM A DUTY.

There is only one possible way for the people OF this
country TO become acquainted with inefhciency. If any
there is. In our conduct of the war. and that il through
the newspapers. a free press and free speech are in
alienable and constitutional rights of the American PEG
pie and It is the duty Of the newspapers to, print the
news revealed in the senatorial Investigation now in
progress. r is the duty Of the people 10 read their news
papers and keep posted. II is the duty OF men like
Roosevelt to speak out in meeting, and 1t is the duty of
THE proletariat 10 listen.
The people Of this country do not believe in the di-
rims right Of kings. They do not make demtgods OF their
national leaders, and If their criticism is constructive it
Is j~ustinable. They ought 10 call a spade a spade. II is
their privilege and duty 10 look the war situation square
ly in the face. They have too much at stake to do other
wise.
One thing must be remembered, however. and that
there id no such thing as perfection in this world. Even
the most powerful OF our allies and enemies have gone
through what we are going through now. In England
the grossest instances of official incapacity relative to
the conduct Of the war have been charged and proven,
but it is only in this way that conditions have been
remedied.
We must not fail to remember that our govern
ment has made amazing progress in its war prosecu-
ton: progress that no other country has ever been
known TO make. Since it began the conflict its prepare
ton for war has been carried out on a stupendous scale.
II of course has not attained perfection. There is
bound 10 be some weak sisters in the high places and
the only thing that the people of this country demand
Is that they be weeded out TO obtain for greater eff
cheney. greater progress. greater speed, and eventually
greater success.
The criticism voiced in the press Of the land will
only sDur on the government to exert itself to the utmost,
and that is all that is wanted Loyal newspapers should
divorce war and politics. They should not leap on this
man because he is a republican, or that man because he
"a a democrat. We are in this war to win and II can
only be won by the strength that comes from union and
union forever.
What you want to know are the facts. 1t is your
war; it is your boys and your money that make it pos
sible. No matter whether here or abroad you are en-
titled to know the truth, and a petty. pusiIanimous cen
sorship will never give this.

from the coal dealer that fuel comes 10 him in that

He Is telling the truth.
This year there seems TO he more dirt in the fuel
than ever. and in firing ones furnace great care must
be taken to pick out the rack and slate. but despite this

way it is the fuel administrations fault that there is
dirt in the coal If we are to believe the testimony of
Mr.. Peabody, an eminent Chicago nagnate. who testi-
fed before the senate committee on manufacturing.
Mr.. Peabody says that from 10 10 II per cent OF coal is
dirt. Most companies used 10 wash this out, but the
few that DO accomplish it with expensive machinery
and at a cost Of 30 cents a ton. The government gives
them no extra allowance in price fixing. SO operators
who do not wash their coal NAV charge The same as
those who do wash H. AS a result very litle washing
is done and the supposedly increase in production is

GREGORY GIVES GROUND.

The Attorney General has postponed all pending
antitrust suits until the October session Of the Supreme
Court, when, as he gives notice. he will ask that they be
passed over until the end OF the war. The main reason
for this action is that, in case the government should
be successful in the litigation, the several companies in
volved viii be compelled 10 dissolve into their constit-
uent parts and that an undesirable disruption viii occur
in the nations business. together with financial Difficult
ties which may arise in the course OF necessary new
financing incident 10 the setting-up again OF the numer-
Gus small corporations which now comprise the big
ones which are under suit. These reasons will apply no
less forcibly when the war is over than they 90 now.
When the war is over, we and all the world will be
engaged in a commercial reimbursement wherein the dis
ruption which the attorney general now fears may be,
and probably will be. more disastrous than it is now.
Moreover. by that time the people may have learned
that what is good policy for a nation that is at piece
as we'll The antitrust suits have been postponed. II
is likely to prove that they have been wholly abandoned.

THE ROUNDUP.

The arrest OF a large number or young men in this
city for a failure to reply to the federal governments
QUESTIONABLE, emphasizes the fact that not all the dolts
are dead. How any man with the acumen of an angle
worm or the mentality OF a microbe could have neglected
his obligation after the publicity accorded the matter
is past finding out or comprehension. For weeks it
was dingdonged through the columns OF every paper in
the country, discussed in every business house. and ex-
planned at every street corner caucus OF ex-offcio states
man. There was no chance for any intelligent man to
escape the big news, and the only abb for those who
did IS cropping ignorance or drooling idiocy. preferably
the latter, for the armor Of mere ignorance can be pierre
ed occasionally by shafts OF light from the public infor-
nation bureau Yet while many, if not most of the de
linquents, may successfully defend themselves on the
Plea OF mental deficiency, there are others who failed to
obey the law simply because they did not wish to do
80. They were cognizant Of their duty and its impera-
tive nature. Yer they nesligently. insolently. and def
sntly sat hack and ignored it, Fellows Of this sort merit
no mercy and should receive none. If the war orders
OF the federal gQYernment are not binding on those to
whom they are directed and can by them be brushed
aside as of no consequence. then, indeed, it is time for
