full outdoor exercise for the patients
well along In their convalescence the
Red Cross has established number of
farms and diaries in connection with
hospitals. Besides their great practi-

amount of entertainment to the men.
The French government, more than in

of cows, and altogether it Is scheme
which appeals to everybody.
But 1t is not alone for the soldiers
that the Red Cross does some of its
thinking IN terms Of cooking and food

The American Red Cross in France
thinks in terms of huge figures, mar

Of shipping space, and 1t also thinks in
terms of the white OF egg or orange

TIE QUESTION OF
INDENIJITIES

Some OF the demands that are serious
ly talked about IN connection with the
indemnity TO BE- paid by Germany are
boubastic. For instance. the figure Of
$3.50 DOC. 100000 Is seriously proposed in
certain quarters Neither Germany nor
any other nation on the face Of the earth
is able to pay such an Indemnity. Tho
entire German wealth ut the beginning
Of the war was estimated 20 be about
$50. ooo. 900. 600. This was the accumuia-
ton Of centuries. and to expect any
country TO pay sum twice as great as
an absurdity. At tho lowest rate Of in
terest, this debt would require tax Of
five to six billions dollars a year. Add
to that the ordinary taxes Tor the main
tenance OF government and the German
people would DC required to collect in
taxes from ten 10 twelve billion dollars
q year. We have all seen how a tax Of
six or seven billion dollars has come
home to the people OF this great and
rich country. Germany. with infinitely
less resources. could hardly hc expected
to pay bill twice rs lnrIr.

and in ignorance Of cunditlorls' What
steps can the industry itself take to
forestall speculative abuses OF both tho

In the first place. there IS the fact
that the stocks OF wool that wcro prl-

sumed and sn increasing proportion Of
the raw wool supply has been coming
Into government hands.
Now that wo have cessation Of hos

Of strict current use Much OF the
necessity for anticipating needs beyond

cease to exist. In any case 4 substan-
tial quantity Of wool will at once be
made available for civilian use.
In the second place. il seems highly
probable that neither in quantity nor
kind will the wool thus released be very
