come,
Where Yankees fought and bled:
The snow floats down in silver flakes
Upon each burial-bed.
When, 10! One comes in comradeship
TO vigil with the dead.
And swift each ghostly warrior stands
With reverential grace;
They spread friendly circle round
And gaze upon His Face.
They know Him for the prince of
Peace"
Who loves the Human Race.
And soft there rises on the night
"A golden Christmas Song;
The woods are hushed to hear the
notes
OF soldier voices strong.
For Christ has flung the spark of
joy
Among this warrior throng.
Then every dead man gathered there

They greet Him as the Living Lord
Whose nod is a command,
anu now they nan Him as "Tht
Chief"
And at salute they stand.
But soon. as Nights spent shadow.

Beside his flock of sheep,
But evry dead man in the woods
Is wrapped again in sleep.

SPECIAL PLACES FOR
TUBERCULAR PATIENTS
.REcoNsTRuoTloN OF TOWNS
FOR MEN.

Atlantic City, June 16.-Special re
construction towns may be establish
ed by the government in the near fu
ture where soldiers suffering from
tuberculosis can regain their health
and at the same time work at light
trades to fit themselves for full re-
turn to industrial life, said Col. Este
Nichols, Commandant Of the United
states Army General Hospital No. IL
at New Haven, Conn, in an address
at the annual meeting of the National
Tuberculosis Association today,
R'This is being considered" he says,
"as part Of Uncle Sans plan 10"
vocational re-education which, since
the armistice, has for its purpose the
fitting of men d isablod by the war
for new occupations in civil life.
The idea of special communities for
use men and their families has been
advanced by Captin f. A. Waugh OF
the United States Army Sanitar"
Corps, and would he for The purpose
of bridging over the gap between
sanatorium treatment aud fun return
TO industry.
"These towns" said Col. Nichols,
might be located upon lands IN the
national forests This would permit
of the setting up of attractive and
healthful wood working industries for
the patients and afford an opportunity
for them to retain permanent control
of lard holdings after they were cured.
mo matter where these towns
might be located proper medical sup
, ervision would be necessary he said,
but, whereas. medical treatment has
, first place in sanatorium care OF SUI
. fercrs from tuberculosis, productive
industry would take precedence in the
proposed reconstruction towns These
communities would require financial
assistance at first but might event
ually become self-supporting.
, Surgeon b. j. Lloyd, of the United
States Public Health Service said the
building of the Panama. Canal was
but ad ays work in comparison toI
the task Of eradicating tuberculosis.
"The tuberculosis problem when
reduced to its lowest terms" he said,
means the germ of tuberculosis on
the one hand, and the newborn babe
on the other. Inasmuch as no baby
is ever born with tuberculosis, if the
two could be kept apart there would
not be any tuberculosis problem.
DR.. Lloyd emphasized the need of
a division of tuberculosis in the Unit
ed States Public Health Service. This,
he said, would permit of cooperative
correlation of the activities of all
bodies and departments of the govern
ment engaged in tuberculosis work.

UNDERFED CHILDREN
SAD SIGHT in EUROPE
PARENTS OF MANY ABSOLUTELY
DESTITUTE.


/ New York, June 16-"The saddest
| sight in Europe today is that of the
children of eight and ten and twelve
| years of age who look and act like
children of four and six and eight
/ years." says DR.. Vernon Kellogg, who
recently returned from a tour of Eu-
rope for the American Relief Admin
istration
"They have been underfed for four
years" continues DR., Kellogg Many
have died; many are war orphans
The parents of many are absolutely
destitute. Mal-nutrition Mas weaken
ed them; has retarded their growth
and development. Their feeble voices
cray to the world for help"
Herbert c. Hooveg, Director Gen
eral of the American Relief Admins
tration, set aside for children's relief
work in Europe $4,000 600 of the $780,
100000 appropriated by the United
States Congress for relief work in the
war desolated countries of Europe. To
expend this $2,000,000 the American
Relief Administration has establish
ed a special Children's Relief Bureau,
Describing the work of this bureau,
DR.. Kellogg writes in bulletin is
sned by the American Relief Admins
tration:
From it's own funds. added to by
grants from the impoverished govern.
lnents Of Eastern Europe and by gifts
from private charity, the Children's
Bureau is trying to furnish free food
to the destitute and debilitated infants
and adolescents of the newly liberated
people of Europe; to save and rehabil-
tate the next generation of Eastern
Europe.
But much more money than now
available is necessary il more than a
small fraction of the suffering little
ones are to be cared for. Therefore
the American Relief Administration
announces that it is willing and anx-
ious to receive and expend for this
any charitable organizations and per-
sons interested. Such money will be
used for work in any denoted country
or region which is accessible to it.
or if so indicated, will be used at the
discretion of the American Relief As
sociation wherever the need seems
greatest
Lieutenant Colonel A. j. Carlson. |
professor of physiological chemistry
in the University of Chicago, and now |
one of the directors of the American |
Relief Administration Bureau for the |
Relief of Children in Paris writes
"The resources of the American Re-
lief Administration available for the |
Chlldren's Relief do not suffice for |
feeding all the hungry children in the |
respective countries. 1t is hoped, how |
ever, that they will meet the most |
acute needs during the period up to
the next harvest, and thus serve to |
rally and encourage the national |
