Describing the American Rec Cross
as body authorized to do everything
possible for the comfort and welfare
of the soldiers, and to make use of
such agencies as are authorized and
are in a position to contribute to that
end in addition to the provisions made
by the government, general state
ment by the war department outlines
certain approved activities:
To distribute sweaters, mufflers, he'll
NETS, socks, comfort kits, etc.
To render emergency relief of every
kind upon request Of an officer In
charge.
To relieve anxiety and sustain the
morale of soldiers who are worried
about their families at home. and to
promote the comfort and well being of
these families.
To conduct canteen service stations
for furnishing refreshments to soldiers
when travelling through the country;
to furnish emergency relief to the sick
and wounded when en- route and to see
that they are conveyed to a hospital
when necessary and requested by the
commanding officer.
= A representative of the Red Cross
may be attached to each base hospital
to furnish emergency supplies when
called upon, to communicate with fam
lilies of patients, to render home ser
vice to patients and such other assls-
tance as pertains to Red Cross work.
When the first Liberty motor was
ready to be tested it was taken to
Pixies Peak that it might be studied
while running under atmospheric con-
ditions obtaining at high attitudes.
This difficulty of bringing the motor to
the mountain is now overcome at the
department of commerce bureau of
standards at Washington, by bringing
the mountain to the motor.
Airplane motors are now tested at
the bureau of standards in labora-
tory where various conditions corre-
spending to high attitudes and low
temperatures are secured. The engine
rs placed in an alright concrete room,
provided among other things with re-
frigerator coils and large pump to
reduce the pressure of the air. By use
of this apparatus motors may be OBJ
served under conditions similar to
those at different attitudes, which
might otherwise be done only by actual
airplane flights.
Plans of the American Library as
sociation include the establishment OF

The government is today the great
est employer of labor In the United
States, not considering railroad en-
ployees.
In normal times approximately 4Oo,-
600 civilians are employed, and in the
last year the number has increased to
eOO,O0O In comparison one steel cor
poration employs 100000 men. and one
railroad 250000
The Colorado statesman., 1918-03-09

A Swiss commercial paper states
that there is n great shortage In coal
OF all kinds. an insufficient supply of
wood for fuel, and small reserves In
oils and grease throughout Switzer-
land. Fresh eggs have disappeared
from the market. Dry vegetables are
becoming more scarce. A project to
manufacture flour from potatoes had
to be abandoned because sufficient sup
plies of potatoes could not be secured.
In Holland coal and coke prices
have been advanced. In American
terms, the maximum price for anthra-
cite is about 500 ton; coke, $40 ton;
coal briquets, $25 ton. Distribution
is carefully regulated by cards, in
specified quantities. The amount al
lowed, especially to residences, is
much smaller than In peace times.
New French food regulations forbid
eating houses to serve of consume
in the preparation of food. Curdled
or sour milk is prohibited as well as
cream and specified kinds of cheese.
The making of pastries, biscuits, and
confectionery is prohibited. Only In
dining cars, canteens and railroad re-
freshment stations may fresh or con-
densed milk or cream be served after
9 In the morning, by itself or mixed
with coffee, .ea, or other preparation.
No solid foods may be served between
9 and IL in the morning and between
q l..
the price Of a meal exceeds S1.20 the
customer may be served with not more
than two dishes with or without vege-
tables, or more than one small loaf OF
ordinary bread. The bread is limited
to about 31k ounces. All grain which
may be used for making bread Is re-
served for human food.
At each cantonment In the United
States school has been established
where every officer and man receives
instruction in gas defense. The Ameri-
can gas mask, similar to the British. Is
as mechanically perfect as the best
experts have been able to produce.
The face piece, with glass or celluloid
eyepieces, is connected by flexible
tube with a canister carried in KNAPP
sack. The incoming breath comes
through the canister, which Is filled
with several layers of chemicals which
neutralize or render harmless the gas
laden air. Outgoing breath passes
outside the face piece through a small
valve.
The student in gas defense soon
learns to get his mask on in hurry,
six seconds being the standard time
when the knapsack containing the mask
is hanging at his chest in the "alert"
position. After intensive training
gas attack is arranged. The class Is
put in trenches, and without warning,
clouds of smoke and chlorine are lib
Grated by the instructors, masks are
hurriedly put on, alarms sounded, and
sleeping men in dugouts aroused.
When the attack ceases the trenches
are cleared of gas, the air is tested.
and permission is given to remove
masks.

Rifle and cartridge production In the
United States has developed in volume
and in quality on scale assuring the
satisfactory equipment of the army
according to statement authorized by
the secretary of war.
To achieve the rifle and ammunition
production program the government
has expended or has obligated itself to
expend, during 10 months of war,
S4OO 100000, and 200 officers, $4,000
men, and 10000 women have been en-
gagged exclusively in the manufacture
of rifles and cartridges Two govern
ment plants and three privately owned
plants are engaged in making rifles
and one government plant and nine
privately owned plants are engaged In
cartridge manufacture. Ordnance ex-
perts in this country and In Europe
are in agreement that the United
States army is being equipped with
two of the best three rifles In the
world.

Divisional athletic directors VINO
have received commissions Will accom-
pany their contingents to France, ac-
cording to the war depaI tment COM
mission on training camp actiViues.
Boxing instructors will not be sent

for these men is considered greater
on this side.

"Stars and Stripes" is the name OF
the weekly newspaper being published
in France for American troops, under
the direction of the intelligence sec
ton. Practically the entire paper is
devoted to American news, including
a daily radio report of about 1,4oo
words supplied by the committee on
public information to the French gov
ernment.
Exports of corn to Canada for feed
ing and manufacturing purposes have
been limited to those varieties and
grades which are not suitable for seed
purposes.
