Visited War Countries.

Eliot Wadsworth of the Red Cross
War Council returned last month
from a trip of three months through
the warning countries. In an inter-
view published in the Red Gross
Magazine, Mr.. Wadsworth said: "'In
the upbuilding of the morale Of ma
tons, as we'll as in ministering to
an inspiration to view the work of
the Red Cross in Europe" Speaking
of the work that was to be lone at
the outset, he said: There were 3O0,-
900 Belg:ans, for instance, with no
funds, practically no country. no
homes. American business men, with
forethought and ability, sent abroad
by the Red Cross, prepared for the
winter emergencies, and when the
Red Cross had the stuff; not only
money CATER u 800, 100000 drivej,
but tons of flour shoes, food
things that were priceless. 1t did my
heart good to see our warehouses in
France, not only the half dozen in
Paris, but those scattered over the
rest Of the country at tactical points.
They are simply crammed with ev-
erything from shoes to surgical Dress
ings."
In visiting Belgium, Mr.. wads-
worth had impressed upon him the
dire need of refugee. work, according
to him there being some 1900 Bel
gian refugee children. He said: 1.-THE
refugee situation grows more acute
daily. Coupled with it, the ability OF
our relief societies Of the Allies to
raise voluntary funds grows less. The
burden, day by day, more and more,
will devolve upon US. We of Amer
lea are young. strong, rich, untouch-
ed. It is up to America For the

{" merely local telephone service, then al tt the possibility of anything but a

The Bell System in the beginning gave the public a valuable utility in
advance OF any demand. The demand wa created by the service given.
Connected with the Bell SYSTEM are the long distance lines of the
american Telephone Company, the lines Of more than thirty Associated
Companies such as this Company and Of hundreds of Independent telephone
companies, making in all system including more than 100000 telephones.
The United States has only $50 Of the earths population but it has
$40 Of all the worlds telephones and has the best and cheapest telephone
service in the world 8

kali lake Thee method OF potash
recovery is thus explained by one
Of the experts OF the council of ma
tional defense. in cooperat ton with
the Geological Surrey in meeting
the potash shortage:
Process OF Recovery.
The process is simply that of
evaporation, driving off the water
and concentration the brine. and
through concentration the crude
salts-that is. sodium chloride and
sodium sulphate-are thrown out,
and the potash. being more soluble
than the other SANS. remains in
solution. Then that concentrated
brine. freed from the crude salts,
is allowed to crystal.ze. and the
potash which is in that is regained."
While potash production in this
country-comparatively in its in
fancy-has not yet reached the bas-
is of commercial cheapness perfect
ed by Germany the situation is re-
garded as entirely satisfactory by
the mineral experts. American
manufacturing methods may be eX-
pected readily TO surmount all diff
ficulties and to make it impossible
for Germany ever to attain again
its position as potash purveyor 70

Essential To Industry.
Aside from its uses as a fertilizer

in times Of both war and peace. II
is used In the manufacture OF dyes

metallurgical industry in the west
uses large quantities of potassium
salts. The shortage of potash
therefore, not only was felt in the

as well.
To a limited extent potash is used

realize that retreat is inevitable, for
they are burning villages several miles
behind their lines, and there is q
great congestion of troops around the
top Of the salient, which may indicate
preparations for a new line.
With the district south of the Marine
cleared of Germans. the Allies are busy
constructing bridges and getting large
bodies of troops and supplies across
for pursuit. The Germans undoubtedly
will continue to fight in the most stub
born manner for the salient, but if
things continue to go we'll with the
Allies in their attack the enemy is
likely to be forced back to the line Of
the River Vesle, which offers good de-
fences and has slgood communications.
Counter Thrusts Costly
The Germans made several heavy
counter attacks on the western side Of
the salient, and the fighting appears
to be growing in intensity all along
this western lip. A German counter
attack near Grisoles won for the Gert
mans slight advantage, but all these
moves are only in the nature of an at
tempt to hold up the Allies temporarily.
All these counter attacks are costing
