Soon after the entrance Of the
United States in the war the successes
OF the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to most
tragic condition and in the summer
Of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, a canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oxcart used
by tke~Red Cross to carry its relief
up into the mountains.

RETURNED SERVICE
MEN ALL EMPLOYED
IN COUNTY RAYLE

Either all the boys of Wayne county
who live outside the city limits had
jobs waiting for them when they got
back from the service, or else there
are enough jobs to swallow up all the
service men as they return, according
to w. S. Rayle, Y. M. C. A. employ
ment secretary.
Rayle has thoroughly covered the
outlying districts, and all the small
towns, and has reached the decision,
he said Tuesday. that there are no I'M
employed returned service men in
Wayne county. All those who did not
drop back into the same or a new job
have applied to him before this, he is
convinced.
In Richmond there are still app1i.
cants from day but at present Rayle
says he can get more jobs for men
than he can bring men to manufacture
ers to I'LL their needs.
With the grain fields on the eve of
harvest farmers are sending him a
plea for men. Those able to do this
outdoor work, which is not impossi
BILE. for any ex-service man, it is
thought. can draw 81 and SIS a day

PREPARE TO FIGHT
new HOG DISEASE

Farmers are preparing to fight a
new disease among hogs which was
prevalent in Wayne county last win.
ter, according to a veterinarian in
the city. The disease Is called sept.
cemia hemorraghica, and is similar to
cholera, though affecting more parts
Of the body, and is very contagious
during the winter
Although septicemia hemmorraghica
appeared only last winter a vaccine
has been made and is being used ex
tensively as a preventative against
the epidemic next year
1t Is too early for cholera, but the
veterinarians believe that there will
not be much of an epidemic this year
because such large preventative meas
ures are being taken. The majority
Of the farmers are yaccinating against
the disease. This is preventive
measure and while there may be some
cholera it will not be as extensive as
in former years.
There are now no contagious dis
eases among Wayne animals. Influ-
enZa among horses was prevalent dur.
ing the winter but is just about over.
The disease affected horses in much
the same way 1t affected people. The
veterinarians are busy now with cases
of indigestion and other ordinary az
flictions.

CORPORATION men
MAY HAVE TO 60
TO INDIANAPOLIS

Corporation officials of Wayne
county, who failed to complete theiE
statements for the county board of
review. will be given an opportunity
to do SO Wednesday, according to an
announcement made today by J. Mon.
roe Fitch, special representative of the
state tax board.
According to the county treasurer,
about eighty-five per cent of the cor
porations of the county failed to ans
wer all of the questions asked In their
corporation statemen and in so do.
ing, added to the work of the county
board.
All questions asked on the state
ments must be answered, under the
new tax law, and failure on the part
of corporations who did not answer
all questions, to call at the courthouse
Wednesday to finish these questions,
will probably result in call from the
state board, and trip to Indianapolis
Il have found that there has been
laxity in this matter all over the
state" Fitch said Tuesday, "and cor.
porations are not filling their state.
ments as they should. If any of the
firms fail to send representatives here
tomorrow, it will probably mean a trip
to indianapolis to appear before the
state tax board"
In case it is impossible for all cor
porations to complete their statements
Wednesday, Mr.. Fitch said that he
would probably call here again at a
later date, although he would not re-
main more than one day on this trip.

MRS, GUY STUDY TO
AID French WOMEN
VICTIMS OK HUNS

The work done in Paris for deported
women in France is to be aided by
Mrs. Guy Study of st. Louis, Mo-, wife
of a former Richmond man Mrs.
Study IS now in Richmond, a guest
for two days at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Study, PIP South Six
teenth street, before leaving for New
York to sail for France. She is a ma
tive of France and will visit her rela-
tives there while abroad.
Mrs. Study was interested in the
work by Madame Avril de Sainte
| Croix, head Of the French National
Council of Women, who has been ac-
tive in obt1fning funds for the aid of
French women who have suffered at
the hands of the Germans. Three
homes are now maintained in Paris
for the aid of these women, where
they are given medical treatment and
are helped to regain their self-respect
Society women and social workers of
Paris give their assistance in the
| work.
/ The condition of the girls who have
| been in German camps and behind the
lines is pitiable, Mrs. Study said Tues
day, and letters received from them
i SIoH SO1OlllO4iS llldI al z dllllOSL OS-
| You'd belief. Many of them refuse to
go back to their homes in northern
| France, and it is this problem which
| Mrs. Study is proposing to handle.
Il am going to make these villagers
| see that these girls deserve the same
honor that is given the soldiers" she
! said today. 1.-THE French villager and
| peasant has narrow views and it is
! difficult for a girl placed in the Pc
! sition of these girls, to think of re
turning home. 1t is my plan to have
the mayor and the villagers go tc
| Paris and urge them to return. 1t is
the only solution see to the situation
| for the girls cannot be cared for for
| ever"
| Contributions for the relief work
have been received by Mrs. Study, an6
she expressed today her appreciation
Of the check received from Richmond
women. The fund raised at benefit
card party given several weeks age
was doubled by Mrs. William Dudley
/ Foulke, the amount to go for the care
