D. C.HERO TELLS Of
RUINS OF VERDUN

"of all the sights ever saw, the
town OF Verdun, all shot to pieces.
Is the most wonderful" This phrase
was used by Corporal Theodore Ward.
Of the 326th Infantry, IN letter. to
his mother, Mrs. Ellen Madison Ward.
1905 Kansas avenue northwest. de-
scribing q trip he made from Vesvres-
sous-ChaIancsy, where he was billet
ed, to Verdun and HaudiOmont. The
purpose OF his trip was to visit the
grave OF his brother, Major Lyman c.
Ward. who was killed in action On
November Q, and who Is buried AZ
Haudiomont:
': Net q HOuse Left.
''verdun lis the largest place 1 ever
saw in France. and there Is not a
complete house standing IN ths
town" wrote Corporal Ward, athe
only thing remaining being the filth
and dirt in the streets. Every town
for miles around Verdun has been
blown off the map and the only
thing one can see Is walls, barbed
wire for miles and shell holes. Any
one who, sees Verdun need 80 no fur
tier to Know Il was an awful war
I walked for six hours over some Of
those roads and never saw q soul IN
fact, really. cannot see how. they
are ever going TO reclaim the eoun-
tTys- as IL Is a desert with nothing
but she'll holes.
An UndeRgrOaaa City.
Under Yerdun the French. con-
structed an underground city with
hospitals, bakeries, and grocery
stores. There are two huge walls
and two old moats ali around the city.
and they have .barbed wire strung
right up to the walls. The under
ground city could accommodate 30
90 people. 50 you can imagine what
q wonderful place II Is. I guess Yer
dun was just about the hottest place
this side, OF hell during the war, and
from the looks OF the country around
HaudIomont is must have been worse
there
!. Corporal Ward was more than
tWenty-four hours making the trip
from vesYpes-sous-Chaln to Hau-
diomont. and was compelled 20 sleep
in deserted building at night in the
most devastated region In France.
The next morning he Travelled two
miles through q trench and finally
struck the road TO Metz He found
his brothers grave in q good state Of
distinctly marked and
registered according TO regulations.
Corporal Ward expects to return
home within the next two weeks.

DEADLOCK IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK. March 1s.-Striking
harbor workers and private boat
owners were deadlocked today as a re-
suit of owners refusal to grant an
cight-hour day and recognition of TIE
marine workers affiliation. Although
q number of private owners have
agreed to the terms granted the men
by the Railroad Administration there
are still more than 1000 harbur
workers out.
Fourteen crews Of tugs chartered

MUST THE KITCHEN PASS?
Question that is Suggested by the
Shortage of Household Servants.

Must tho kitchen pass? 1t seems SO.
Mother can't do all the work, and
servants are not to be had, though
their hours of work have been short
enedl higher wages are offered and
greater specialization is arranged.
America is not alone suffering from
the servant famine. French households
are as helpless as our own before la
question des domestiques. Parisians
flock to the hotels and restaurants,
while tho kitchens are untenanted.
This situation has brought to the
front the community kitchens which
were widely tried in. England during
the war. These were not soup kitch-
ems" or bread stations" but were
self f-supporting, democratic institu-
tions owned by the communities and
patronized by all classes. They were
not like restaurants or cafeterias, for
in most cases the food was taken home
by the patrons who brought their own
containers. Some of these kitchens
delivered tho food to the homes or dis
tributing stations.
The community kitchen has been
variously tried in the United States
in New York, Boston, ST. Louis, Bur-
lington, VT, Carthage, Mo-, and Evan
ston, Ill. But it has been more sue
cessful in England and Germany than
in this country. The community kitchen
in Carthage was operated for four
years and then 1t closed and the equip
ment was scrapped. There was a
similar failure in Evanston. In fact,
four or FIVE years seems to be about
the time limit of success for the COM
munity kitchen in this country.
In many places where the expert
ment has been tried there is complaint
that the food is not as tasty" as
home cooked food. 1t Is easy to un-
derstand how food cooked in large
quantities and stored may lack SAVIOR.
The American home Is hardly ready
to give up its kitchen. In spite of per-
picking questions Of domestic help.
the average American has a real af-
fection for the kitchen.
To omit the kitchen would be to
leave out the chief joy of the home for
the average American boy or girl, nor
can the grown-up easily forego the
fragrance Of the buckwheat cakes and
coffee in the morning. or those fresh
ly fried doughnuts or apple pies all
steaming from the oven.
The institution may demand some
sacrifices, but after all it is the centre
of the home and radiates its cheer
through the whole house. No kitchen,
no home-or at least much less of
home. 1t is about the table that the
family really becomes acquainted and
the fellowship of the home circle
dcepens. The kitchen may pass in
spite of all protest: but If it does
many good things to eat and many
cherished and happy moments will
go with it.-.Minneapolis Journal.

AMERlcA's GOLD SUPPLY
Holdings In the United States Have
Increased s65 Por Cent.

Increased 65 Por Cent.
The world situation of gold has
been the subject of much discussion
and speculation. The war has caused
the accumulation OF gold in state
banks and treasures, and taken 1t
away from private banks and the pub
lie, says the Scientific American. The
holdings of state banks and treasures
have Increased since 1913 from about
63 per cent. of total stock to about So
per cent. This has been compensated
for by the issuing OF paper money,
and In some countries the paper issue
has been so far in excess of the gold
supply that serious problem has re-
suited.
In 1914 the United States is reported
to have had s1,S71. .611,723 in gold and
$3.50, 563,709 in silver, and in 1919. s3,-
os2, ,o37,s9 in gold and $552,6S5,6s2 in
silver, an increase of 65 per cent.
The production OF gold has been
steadily decreasing since 1915, when
the highest point was reached. In
that year the worlds production of
gold was $46S,724,91s. Of which the
United States produced s1o1, 700,
South Africa about s1Ss,oo0,ooo, and
Australia about $50, 100000. In 1918 the
world production was $377.S00,000, of
which the United States contributed
ssS, ,4sS, 500, South Africa $71,60o,ooo,
and Australia s26,70O,00o.
Recently the restriction on gold has
been removed by tho United States
and a decided movement has taken
place. England has not yet raised the
embargo on gold, because Of the fear
of depicting her gold supply, which 1t
Is necessary to maintain at all costs.
Remedial measures suggested have in
cluded raising the bank rate to check
exports and increased imports OF
gold. These measures. 1t is claimed,
would check the production Of non
essential commodities and the ten
dcncy toward speculation which low
money rate encourages.
Australia has placed the exporta-
ton of gold in the hands of Gold
Producers Association, and they are
permitted to sell their gold for three
months and thereby may procure a
premium over the standard price. This
move was apparently a relief meas
lure calculated to Offset the increased
price of producing gold.
There is nothing suggestive of gold
embargo in Germany. ON. the con-
Itrary that country has begun to send
gold to the United States to pay fol
foodstuffs and raw material, which
latter she, is sadly in need of. Ger
many has cleverly manoeuvred hsr
gold resources which France expected
would become part Of the indemnity.

AS to whether the Investigation OF
the "Rig S" meat packing combina-
ton that is now being pursued by the
agricultural committee Of the SEN
ate will amount to great deal be-
yond giving the public a little more
light on the business methods of that
great monopoly is doubtful. Most
disintcrested business men of the
country who have investigated the
matter sufficiently to get a reason
ably satisfactory idea Of 1t. very well
understand the relentless methods
Of the packers. They have their line
of business in a death grip and they
arc extending that grip to other
lines. To be sure there are many
flourishing Independent packers; but
that argues nothing. Controlling
as 1t does S5 per cent Of the
business the big Five" can easily
crush out the Is per cent of inde-
pendents whenever they desire. That
| is a clear proposition. All the Big
has to do is.,to reduce prices to a
point where the Independents cannot
live and then put prices up again.
AS things stand NOW the existence of
independents instead of being an evil
dence of wholesome competition is
proof of the most uneonscionable pro-
fiteering. !, The independents ) are for
the most part little fellows who
though not strong enough to buck tho
trust are willing TO take q shot on
getting some Of the big artificial pro-
fits Of the packers before being driven
out. or course the packers are not
going to keep prices 80 low at all
times that nobody can get into the
business. II they would do that there
would be no complaint against
them from any source. Equally: tot
course, whenever, the independents
become numerous enough to furnish
annoyance they will be put out OF
business. 3l i4

The services of Holy week have left
an inerasable mark of spiritual up
lift on the congregation. The two ser
mons of DE- Randolph and Rev. a. L.
jackson are daily comment of appre-
citation by the people. Stainer's cru
cifixtion of Good Friday night under
the presentorship of Mr.. w. y. Gate
wood with Mrs. \. Harrington us ac-
companist was not merely IL sacrifc-
ing effort on the part of the sponsor,
but veritable successful achievement
by all the participants MIR. Gatewoou
was not merely the soloist, because OF
forced necessity, but conducted the
whole cantata with much satisfaction
to the audience and credit TO himself.
Mrs w. A. GatewOod, Mrs. Nealey,
Mrs Scott and Mrs. Rollen accom-
plished their respective parts well.
Messrs. Clark, Rucker and Brickler
brothers were invaluable assets,
whereas the trio of violins manned by
MeSdames Hooper, Morrison and Mr..
Gatewood proved Il compliment to the
sacred occasion. The program of
Easter day will not easily be forgotten
in this church. Beginning with the .
II. IN. services, the peoples hearts
seemed to be all aglow The religious
ferver registered IA high note by the
Sunday school scholars ut IL O'Clock.
The program was faultlessly rendered.
The meridian of the forty days of Lent
was reached on Easter Sunday eve
ming at , 30 o'clock when the choir
rendered an all-rounded service. The
address by DR.. Randolph on signifi-
canoe of the Resurrection touched the
high places of this stupenda fact
Thus ended the days efforts.
We take this effort to thank our
patrons for the support of our sery-
ices last Sabbath and in the past Re-
member n cordial welcome awaits all
who enter the portals of this church
The Easter music will be repeated
tomorrow at both services.

made Himself at the service.
At 3p. m. another great meeting was
enjoyed. The program arranged. by
the teachers of the Sunday school and

the parents were made proud, Z 40
