Special Dispatch to Pie Tribune
WASHINGTON, Nov. tS.-Activities
of the American Red Cross in behalf of
the American soldiers in France en-
tailed an expenditure of S15,453,O5o to
the end Of last June, and $13, S29 ,416 has
been appropriated to help make our
more than 100000 men cover there"
comfortable during the last six months
of the year. Providing comforts for
our fighting men, experimenting the
efforts of the army and navy authoft-
ties in their behalf, is considered the
most important mission of the relief
organization.
The necessity of keeping the Red
Cross relief programme in France as
elastic as possible i, order to meet
the raridly changing noeditlons IN that
country, where millions of fighting man
and millions CT civilians, spread over
vast stretches of territorF, are in need
OF service. is made clear in a report
issued to-day.
At the very beginning of its work in
France the Red Cross had to solve the
problem of meeting the needs of Al
lied fighting men already there, and
of assisting in relieving the dirtsess
of the civilian populations in the wal
zones while making preparations for
the millions Of American fighting men
that we're to come.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Children
from seven to sixteen years of age
have been employed in canneries during
the last season, according to investiga
tions of the Children's Bureau OF the
Labor Department. Many of them were
evading school laws and have been
employed at regular hours. In some
cases they lived in crowded, unsani-
tary camps. In 270 canncries visited in
Maryland and Virginia 1,o94 children
under fourteen years were found at
work.
At the time the Federal child labor
Law went into effect a number of the
most important canning states Mary
land, Delaware, Virginia. Indiana,
Michigan and California exempted
canneries from their child labor laws.
The Federal act specifically included
such establis hments, so that during
its operation canneries shipping their
products IN Interstate or foreign com
merce could not employ children under
fourteen nor those between fourteen
and sixteen years old more than eight
hours a day or night
During the last sessions Of their Leg
islatures Maryland and Virginia so
include canneries. When however, the
Federal law was declared unconsti-
tutional, before the canning season
opened the employment of children, the
inquiry showed, was continued.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The prob

ington is not how they are going to be
provided for when the business Of

them working until everything is

their jobs, although the routine work
OF departments is probably heavier
now than it has been at any time since
this country entered the war. The war
