in some French and Belgian cities
and towns near the FrancoIBelgian
border are reported as "in general,
good" by Major John van Schaiek Jr..
acting Red Cross commissioner for
Belgium who was one OF the first
Americans to enter some Of these
places after the Germans evacuated
them. In a message to the Red Cross
headquarters here. he said:
There is no great emergency like
general famine, there Is no great
amount of sickness, there is no tre-
mendous shortage Of clothing but
there is need OF prompt assistance
on our part to meet what distress
exists. The roads are horrible, es-
pecially on the Passchendaele ridge.
"Roulers a town of $4,000 inhabi-
tants has now but LOO civilians
left. Iseghem few miles distant, a
town of $4,000 inhabitants has LOO

Our camions have rushed lot oi
food up to Turcoing, Lille, and Rou-
baix. Other camions took emer
gency rations up to some of the 9th
er little villages this side of Roulers
,Ambulances brought back sick and
wounded Belgians who had been un
der bombardment."
Telling of his trip TO Iseghem, Ma
jor van Schaick described an Incl
dent typical of the return of the Bel
gians to their homes which had beeI
occupied by the German militar!
forces.

American Headquarters In France,
Tuesday. Nov. 19.--The, extent Of
Americas military effort in France
at the time the armistice was declar-
ed Is shown by statistics which the
Associated Press is now permitted to
make public. While the stupendous
Figures are amazing. It should be re-
membered that they show only a
part of the great effort made in war
preparations.
On the morning OF November II,
the United States had in France 49,
391 officers and 1.SS1.376 men, a
total OF almost 100000. AS has
already been announced. there were
10000 combat troops in the Argon-
ne action.
Behind this man-power lay vast
machinery which was required in op-
erations. Railways and motor roads
were constructed and across the sea
were brought locomotives, cars
rails and motor transport OF every
kind.
Behind this again was the requi!
site food, clothing and general sup
plies for the men, as well as dockage
tand warehouse construction.
The American army has brought
over to France and has in operation
967 standard gauge locomotives and
13,174 standard gauge freight cars
OF American manufacture, in add
ton to $50 locomotives and 973 cars
OF foreign origin. Eight hundred and
forty-three miles OF standard gauge
railway was constructed. On top o.
this, the department Of light rail
ways reports the construction o.
115 miles OF road and 140 miles o
German light railways was repaired
and put in operation.

WOULD MAKE HUNS PAY
FOR DESTROYED LOOMS

London, Nov. 21.-The aim OF re-
construction in France and Belgium
will be to restore the means of pro-
duction, asserts DR.. Christopher Ad-
Olson, British minister OF recon-
struction.
The textile trades in Germany"
he said, may have counted upon the
advantage which the destruction of
looms would give them in the mar
kets of the world. The burden of
the restoration of the machinery
must fall upon those who destroyed
it."
1t would be within the power of
the allies, said DR.. Addison, to with
hold from Germany cotton or other
goods until the Germans made good
the machinery they had destroyed.
In the economic weapon, he pointed
out, civilization had a great means
for obtaining International justice.
