Then everyone wanted to wash.
Some had not been able to get at soap
and water for several days and many
Of the children were in deplorable con-
dition. Two hundred and sixty-eight
wash rags, innumerable basins, and a
hundred pounds of soap did wonders.
New clothing was issued to many and
old garments were fumigated and
laundered. Many seized the first chance
to notify relatives at the writing tables
provided by the Red Cross.
The Push.cart Caravan.
OF the refugees, some six thousand
more fortunate ones either had money
for their journeys, or had In mind
definite destinations where friends or
relatives would welcome them. But
some 9,O00 were absolutely without
funds and-worse-had no idea nor
choice as to where they would 60 from
Paris. These 1t was necessary to
maintain until they could be provided
with homes. Many with definite des-
timtions wished to proceed at once on
their journeys. This involved night
trip to another railway station across
Paris. Until motortrucks and automo-
biles could be assembled, the Red
Cross men hired push carts for the
night and personally led caravans of
refugees with baggage and belongings
to the other depots. Many little chill
dren or older folks unable to walk
rode comfortably In these push cart
professions. In all some 300 people
were transported in this way. Then
arrived II service cars and four trucks
Of the American Red Cross, 6 Canadian
Red Cross trucks, the Y. M. G. A. sight
seeing cars and many ambulances and
private cars furnished by other or
ganizations and by individuals. This
fleet, supplied with gasoline by the
American Red Cross, solved cross-town
transportation until the French au-
thorities were able to take over the in
terdepot movement of these refugees.
Few who have not actually taken
part In one of these refugee rushes
can realize what the feeding Of $4,000
people in crowded railway stations in

as they could without neglecting their
primary function Of caring for troops
en- route. The American Red Cross
supplied extra supplies to other can
teens and Immediately enlarged It's
own canteen facilities. The first food
some of the refugees got on Friday
evening were sardines, fshed out with
hatpins and put on crackers college

meals were being served to every one
who needed food.
Tons OF Food Needed.
To handle the extra crowd the Red
Cross assembled at the, depots 5000
dishes and 2,250 spoons, forks and
knives. What Is more important, 1t
mobilized dishwashing force to keep
ahead Of the demand for these uten-
sils.
The food supplied just from the
American Red Cross emergency stores

COLBY PLEADS FOR BEER

Commissioner Bainbridge Colby Of
the United States shipping board, in
addressing a congressional committee,
protested against immediate absolute
prohibition in this country, asserting
that the work in the shipyards would
decrease at least 25 per cent If the
laborers were deprived Of their beer.
Mr.. Colby then left Washington
for the Pacific coast to inspect the
shipyards there and to speak at San

Georgians Must Show
Patriotism by Working
On Farms of Georgia

The imperative need for more farm
laborers in Georgia in order to pro-
mote the war to a successful conclu-
sion was brought to the attention Of
Mayor Gambler in an appeal he receiv-
ed Monday from the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Georgia farms are short of labor"
states the notice, and this shortage
cannot be remedied by other states be-
cause other states are in precisely the
same fix. Everywhere farm workers
have been attracted to manufacturing
and war industries by higher wages. AS
a result every community must secure
its emergency farm help by emergency
methods town volunteers, high school
boys and by forcing all idlers to go to
work, Non-essential work that helps in
no way to win the war must be discon-
tinued during the rush seasons on the
farms.
Georgia has sent her sons, has con-
tributed her money, has floated her
flags high at mass gatherings. She is
proud of her patriotism. But there is
call that is devoid of pOmp and
glory 1t means Just plain, blistering
muscle-aching commonplace labor out
in the fields under hot suns.t It must
be done if we win the war.

money won't buy food unless il is pro

Sheer Bravery Enables
Americans to Win FIGHT

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 21.-Latest reports
shows the Americans although outnum-
bered, vsliantly withstood the onSlaughts
of three waves of storm troops. The
German barrage behind their own
troops forced their advancing infantry
across No Mans Land.
Americans say the Germans were
dope crazed' and more like wild men
and beasts than human, singing and
yelling as they advanced.
One officer ordered the men to load
up with grenades and stick" Then
he took up a rifle himself and emptied
it into the advancing enemy, afterward
joining his men in hurting grenades.
| A dispatch bearer sent from the front
could not see through his gas mask
He ripped il OF, ran through three bar
RACES and delivered the message. Re-
turning, he fell unconscious. His first
words, on recovering consciousness
were:
IT am not yellow, am 1 doc7 Did
deliver the message? TIL go back now.
In a village in No Mans Land, Seich-
eprey, Germans and Americans were
mixed UP everywhere. The Yankees
tried to force the bosches into the open,
declaring: I'VE can lick 'em when they
come out Of their sewers"
Machine gunners didn't know when
to give up. Setting their guns in the
streets they moved down the Germans
One officer told in a breaking voice of
finding two machine gunners with semi
circles of dead Germans around them.
Sheer bravery enabled specification of
the American lines. One ambulance
driver, who had ben at Verdun during
the most desperate enemy assaults there
said the Smelling was worse than any
he had ever seen at Verdun.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 22.-(By the Associat-
ed Press Baron Richthofen, the IA
nous German aviator. was shot down
and killed last night back OF the Brit
ish lines along the Somme front. De-
tails Of the death OF the airman are
lacking but as showing the temper or
the British officers it may be said the
correspondent heard the ardent hope ex-
pressed that Richthofen died fighting in
an air battle with a worthy opponent
rather than by being shot down by an
ti-aircraft guns He will be buried with
military honors today near the spot
where he crashed and an impressive
ceremony is being planned by the Brit
ish officials.
Captain Won Richthfen first came into
prominence as leader of the 'Flyingg
Circus" a squadron of German avia-
tors which fought in a peculiar circular
formation following each other around
so that in case one was attacked the
next flyer could sweep the antagonist
from the rear.

1t was learned today that some of
them had secretly inquired from the
war department if they could remain
in this country after the war and had
expressed a dread of returning to the

The appeals carried the strong sug-

The war department replied to their
