wanderers of n and a quarter million
formally happy country people Of
these countries. In passing their ruin
ed villages and towns they can be seen
standing in the doorway of houses
which have for their roofs nothing but
a sheet Of canvas which says under
the weight of snow. The children wear
old blankets and the parents work and
sleep in a ragged patchwork of Co.'S
tunes.
Another reason that the refugees
must look to the outside world for

upon their textile industries by the

PRESCRIBE EXERCISE
FOR The WOUNDED
splAY4THERAPY" IDEA rs BEING
TRIED OUT IN CAMPS OF:
CENTRAL MILITARY
DEPARTMENT.

Chicago.-"T prescribe an hour Of
volley ball for your stiff wrist this
morning" is being heard now In a
dozen Of Uncle Sans camps wherein
wounded soldiers r convalescing. Or,
1t may be that the prescription Is
something like this: "Boy, your knee
joints are pretty stiff and the hinges of
your hips don't work right. Suppose
YOU play arch ball for an hour today
and tomorrow and then prolong the
period Of play q bit. This will do more
foEtyou than anything else"
DR.. Fl. F. Kallenberg, chiefAofY. M.
@. A. physical directors in the central
military department, with headquar-
ters in Chicago, is receiving word al
most daily that the latest method Of
treating. wounded men in government
hospitals in such cases as demand ex-
ercise of joints, fingers, wrists, legs or
arms, is doing wonders for the sol
diers. They not only are throwing off
their ailments but are t~aking>on cheer
fulness and a new interest in life, he
declares. The treatment Is "new' in
that medical men examine each case
and prescribe certain games to fit the
needs Of that case. No playing at
games requiring exercise Of muscles or
joints is done save under, the direct SUI
pervision Of a medical officer, Doctor
Kallenberg asserts.

physical directors of the Y. M. 9.
A. are helping the government in these
matters at this time,"- explained Doc
tor Kallenberg. II: understand the ap-
plication of u theory that the playing
of certain games mend certain all
ments is being demonstrated with sue
cess at various camps in the plain re-
construction Of the physical man. We
do not under-rate massage, hydro
therapy, electrotherapy or manual
therapy, but we are finding that speci-
fed exercise in play works wonders in
%loosening Joints and brings the mar to
a normal state"
At the following camps the new
treatment of ""play-therapy'' is being
used successfully upon hundreds Of
wounded soldiers, sailors and marines:
Taylor, Dodge, Great Lakes, Fort
Sheridan, Fort Des Moines, Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, U. s. General hospital
No. Fl, Denver, and plans are being
made now to establish the treatment
at Camps Funston, Sherman, Custer
and the big Ford hospital, Detroit. It
is reported that Major Kelley at Camp

story barracks for a gymnasium and
will ask the Y. M. G. A. for two men to
assist in directing wounded soldiers in
their games.

Grand Duke Tells Gompers
His Opinion of Wilson
Scheme.

Paris, Feb. 27.-How Russian
nobility and American labor discuss
ed "cabbages and lynchings" at the
Hotel Ritz became known today, al
though the affair wasn't exactly
public.
The American labor commissions
ers, headed by Samuel Gompers.
were the guests of Grand Duke
Alexander.
The luncheon was arranged by
Charles Meyer. New York munitions
broker. The chief topic of CONVEX
sation was Bolshevism. although the
league of nations and President Will
son came in for more or less debate.
The tall. aristocratic, grey-van-
dyked grand duke and the sturdy
little labor leader presented a
strange physical contrast. but they
are said to have shown a striking
degree of unanimity of opinion. The
grand duke was unsparing in his
criticisms of Wilson. Gompers.
pointing out his own independence,
said he supported or opposed the
President as the occasion demanded.
The grand duke expressed scorn
of the league Of nations, calling it
a "doughboy-Tommy scheme" and
saying that while the rest of the
world might accept the Anglo
American plan temporarily it would
eventually have league of its own.
The construction of the league, he
concluded, made him think of the
way the French play poker-witb

declared, Wilson has gone home
