RED CROSS BUREAU
TOSEND NEWS TO /
FOLKS AT HOME
GATHERING INFORMATION
THROUGH PARIS OFFICE.
Details of Casualties at the Front
Given to Soldiers
Relatives.

To give relatives of American SOL
diers details of casualties at the front
tie American Red Cross has organized
at national headquarters Bureau Of
Communication, Of which William r.
Castle. Jr., formerly Assistant Dean
of Harvard College and editor of the
Harvard Graduates Magazine. Is d.
rector. This Bureau supplements In
a personal and humanitarian way the
reports Of the Statistical Division Of
the War Department, which gives to
relatives official notice when soldier
is reported killed, wounded or missing.
The anxiety which naturally results
from the official report to relatives
that soldier has been wounded or
is missing" will as far as possible be
dispelled by the Bureau. which will
advise in detail the nature and extent
of the wound, and will gather evidence
from comrades In arms and at the hos
pitfalls and rest camps regarding those
reported missing"
Central Office In Paris.
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 Blu
reau will base its reports Is gathered
through central Office in Paris, under
the direction Of E. 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, 1t is probable
that with the increase Of reports from
the front, information will be sent
only to relatives requesting it. except
in cases of those imprisoned or re-
ported missing"
Food For Prisoners.
There Is a Red Cross service In
Great Britain, France. Italy, Germany
and Austria. In the London office of
the British Red Cross more than two
hundred women are constantly en-
ployed In communicating with rela-
tives of soldiers and their card index
already covers more than three mil
lion cases reported on.
The Bureau will receive through the
International Red Cross office at
Geneva. Switzerland, the list OF Amer
lean prisoners supplied officially by
the German government. In cases Of
Imprisonment the Bureau reports to
relatives, after which the case liz re-
ferred to the Red Cross Bureau of
American Prisoners Relief, of which
Franklin Abbot Is director.
The American Red Cross Commit
tee In Berne sends each American
prisoner, every two weeks, three ten
pound food packages. These subsist-
ent stores are provided by the govern
ment and the American Red Cross. A
sufficient quantity Of supplies is now
on the way to Switzerland to care for
10000 American prisoners for period
of six months. This Bureau is also
the sole agency licensed by the War
Trade Board to transmit money to
American and Allied prisoners In Ger
many.

MADE HIM THINK OF HOME
French Youngsters Innocent caress
by No Means Objectionable to
Yankee "Doughboy."

The company had stopped on the
march for a ten-minute rest in a
small town, writes a correspondent
in France. A husky doughdoy sat
down on a doorstep and eased off the
weight of his pack. A small boy
passed, turned and hesitated. An
exchange of grins and the youngster
sidled over. In another minute three
or four other gamins were crowding
round.
One particularly small fellow
climbed up on the doughboy's knees.
Suddenly the youngster reached up
with both arms and gave his burly
American ally kiss on the cheek.
The doughboy didn't seem to
know what to do. A mule skinner
coarsely guffawed. The small boy,
not at all embarrassed, repeated the
performance. Again the driver guf-
fawed, but this time not SO heartily.
Then there was a marked pause.
'Er-how does it feel, Bill?" the
mule skinner queried.
"Darn good" came the CHEEKY an
swer. '1'm a family man, you
know"

MOST BACKWARD OF RACES
Process Of Evolution Not Felt by tho
Blond Eskimos Dwelling In
Northwest Canada.

The Blond Eskimos are in the
state of civilization that our ances-
tors enjoyed when dinosaurs roamed
about the fields where Chicago
stands, and mastodons peacefully
curled up to sleep where the nation
al capitol now rises. They are a
nomadic tribe, wandering along the
arctic shores of northern Canada,
minding their own affairs, except,
like the animals in the ZOO, when
they are fed or annoyed by strangers.
Way up in the northwest Of Can
ada, around Dolphin and Union
straits to Coronation gulf, live the
mysterious Blond Eskimos of whom
so little is known except to the few
who have had the temerity to 90
among them. The murder of Fa-
theirs Larus and Rouvier in 1914 by
two of these strange people, who ate
the priests livers and pronounced
them "very good" bears testimony
to their savagery.
The instincts of these Blond Es-
kimos are as primitive as those OF
prehistoric cavemen; there is notn.
ing in their arts and crafts which
reflects civilization in any form.
They represent several rowing
tribes who live along the arctic
shores of northwestern Canada. In
winter they make their houses in the
ice, and in summer they 90 farther
south to the Barren Lands, to get
feathers, willow, moss, caribou and
river fish. Their customs and cos
tunes are unlike those Of the Green
land, Alaskan or Delta Eskimos.--

Is almost unbelievable. Out OF

"casualtled I" Ofthese more than
$4,000 are dead Nothing IN this
war has been more Impressive
than the recognition even at the
autipodes that this war is a war
for human beirgs against kings
and war lords, that it Is the final
and desperate struggle Of the
world to emanclpate ltslf from
autocracy. Aad ithas been won.
The Australians have fought
magnlfcently all the way from
Ypres to Galhpoli and beyond to
the Tigris River. But the 81 900
OF them who have died have not
died in vain. Human rights have
been won.

The Neighbor Who BOrrows.
Advertisement.

Haven't any to spare today"
That the reply used to give, one
year, when l lived next to a "bor
rowing" neighbor. No, indeed,
do not think it Is strictly honest
to have on els nelghbor use, with
out payl ng IN some way, ones
possessions, If their term of use
fulness Is, even to a small degree,
curtailed.
or course, II the borrowed artl-
cles are returned promptly, and
IN as good condition as when loan
ed, and IN case Of tea, sugar, etc,
just as much and as good return
ed as was borrowed, the one who
loaned would have reason TO feel
very thankful, l believe.
This neighbor, to whom | re
ferred, does the same, | have
been told, wherever they live
(they rent farm; that is, she
borrows almost everything, from
bread, sugar, tea, oil, etc, to a
dress to wear to town. He also

1t was more a case of laziness
and shlftlessness with them than
anything else. They would not

Cal, nor use any foresight. For
instance, If they had chance to
buy a bushel Of peaches, they
would be sick, can some and the
next day or two open those just

use.
Aud instead of planting enough
potatoes and vegetables for their
own use, they did not plant o
seed, but would 90 to the neigh
bors and "get" few potatoes at
a time, but never pay for them.
Yes, agree with the house
hold editor on the borrowing
habit. I prefer to, and do a
void, unless there seems no other
way. borrowing anything.
To the question asked, "How
can one avoid being imposed up
on?" l would say, "Haven't
any to spare today" or II can
not loan 1t today, as may want

BANANAS WILL WIN THE WAR!
Experience Of Would-Be Soldier Should
Furnish Lcssos by Which
; Civilian May Profit.

We haven't realized the military
value-or the mere food value-of
bananas.
Walter Sheppard of Columbus o..
wanted to join the marine corps.
They would not accept him because
he was several pounds underweight.
Somebody told Walter that bananas
would remedy that, and he started
in.
The first day he ate two dozcE ba-
nanas. The next day he ate n dozen
and a half. Then he settled down to
a dozen a day. He started to gain
weight from the first, and gained
steadily. 1t was a pleasant process.
He liked bananas. And as his
friends heard of the plan they gave
him banana parties.
After a few days Of his intensive
banana diet Walter found that he
had passed the weight limit. He
drank few glasses of water, filled
his pockets with bananas to cat on
the way and started again for the re-
cruiting station and was accepted.
The story has a civilian as well as
a military application. In this time
of intensive food conservation, how
many of us appreciate the value of
the banana as a cheap and whole
some food Ithaca Journal.
