NEW YORK, June 2.-Indication
OF the worldwide generosity awak-
ened by the war is given by pre-
liminary reports of the British and
American Red Cross, Young Mems
Christian Association, the Order of
ST. John of Jerusalem and similar
organizations which, during the past
four years, have done service in
alternating distress and which are
now taking part in the work of re-
construction.
A recent issue of London Truth,
in commenting on the record of
S75, 900 war contributions to the
Red Cross by the British people
during the period from 1915 to
1918, inclusive, says, this must
easily be a record collection for
charitable purposes" Admitting
that the amount does not equal that
raised for the American Red Cross,
the Truth observes that 1.-The general
total of voluntary giving for war
purposes in England must have been
something without precedent in that
country's history"
The British people, it is pointed
out, were lavish in their private
benefactions, no record of which was
kept. The first two years of the
war, for instance, it is said. indi-

FOOD REGULATIONS
VIOLATED IN BERLIN

BERLIN, June 3.-The illegal
sale of meat and bread without
cards or of more than n portion OF
meat for one meal has grown so
prevalent in Berlin restaurants that
the state commissary for peoples
nourishment has issued a sharp re-
minder drawing attention to the
fact that wartime regulations are
still effective and that further viola
tions will be followed by closing
kitchens, fines up to $4,000 or i'm
prisOnment up to five years with
loss of citizenship.
The order specifies that most OF
the wartime regulations are as
necessary today as before.

Worldwide GENEROSITY BROUGHT OUT BY War

for the FUN of it," He wants re-
suits that will help him with his
Job back home and he is getting
them. Vocational training is an i'm
|portant and successful feature of
the post school and there are few
trades that are not taught in some
of them. In the academic course,
history, English and mathematics
hold the major places. II there is
sufficient demand for the teaching
of a given subject it is placed on
the curriculum.
Horticultural course3 are provided
in many of the schools and find
many pupils. Fifty per cent of the
men in the army are from rural dis
tricts and many of them intend to
return to their farms. Thousands of
city men who have had their first
days of outdoor life since they
Joined the army declare they will
never return to the office stool.
They like the independence of the
farmer and hope to go into agr'-
cultural work when they retIrn.
The practical phases of fan ming
are being taught to the men.
Teaching of citizenship is an inn
portant course. Under this head
comes labor problems and subjects
vital to the national welfare.

vidual Britons fed and clothed more
than 800, 900 Belgian refugees and
Belgian relief was only one OF a
wide diversity of objects which in
cluded the rehabilitation of crippled
soldiers, the Blue Cross for War
Horses and numerous other chart
ties. An interesting feature of the
work of the British Red Cross,
shown in the preliminary figures, is
the low cost of administration. In
1915 this cost was less than three
per cent and it fell progressively
until, in 1918, it was about n and
one-quarter per cent.
Contributions to the American
Red Cross from the date of the
entry of the United States into the
war on April 6, 1917. to the pres
ent are roughly estimated at about
1850, 5000 This amount was
raised mainly in two donation
