supply them with garden tools and fur
niture and to get work for them.
Reducing housekeeping to its very
lowest terms, the American Red Cross
delegates decided that each family
must have beds enough for everybody,
a table, chair apiece, stove. some
thing to hold water and something to
cook In (there Is wonderful French

$1.25 down and small payments ac-
cording to income every two weeks
until two-thirds Of the cost price is
reached, when the furniture becomes
their own.
The delegates may be able to cure
the physical needs of the refugees, but
they have to contend always with the
terrible inconsistencies Of an uprooted
people. More than anything else in
the world these homeless people want
to return to their own firesides; and
for the time being, that is tragically
impossible. They must be made az
contented rs possible In their new
communities. Furniture offers one
means, gardens another, rabbits
third. Many Of the people have been

them inordinately happy. The village
furnishes the garden and the Red

on grass gathered by the children; and
they multiply with pleasing rapidity.
Where 1t seems that rabbit will be
specially appreciated. the delegate
gives money enough to buy 1t to the
mayor Of the village and asks him to
do the purchasing.

Berne.-A remarkable spying feat

With one exception all were found

Luginbuhl was anxious to buy wool
waste in France. He wanted to sell
1t in Germany where he could get an
immense price for it To get the wool
out of France Luginbuhl had to obtain
permission from the French authori-
ties. He got into touch with French
agents and spies doing business In
Switzerland, who afterward were his
cOdefendants in the trial, and upon his
promise that he would make trip

the French spies were anxious to know
and report back, he would obtain per-

To sell the wool in Germany Lugln-
buhl made his trip into the kaiser's

than he had promised. He told Ger

made with the French spies, where
