 Less than half century ago trav- elers brought back different reports. Then children could have been seen running naked about the unllernpt streets, and eating, piglike, from the same bowl Mothers performed their work with babies strapped, astride, across their backs. and one writer re- ported that children could be bought from willing mothers for a few francs though he did not state, what one

 Many times have the Berbers been captured. driven out of their home steads. and like the Jews, have be- always maintained their racial iden- tity, their physical chara cteristics, and persistent love for freedom Their women, like those of ancient Sparta and modern Russia. have fought by their husbands sides. and their moral ity may be judged from the fact that the death penalty is administered for adultery They have what amounts to universal male suffrage, through an assembly of all males and the equiva- lent of universal military training, since each boy is equipped, when six teen, with arms which he must be ready to use until he is sixty.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Selling Red Cross Supplies.

Because many Inaccurate reports of large sales of American Red Cross few weeks, Red Cross headquarters in Paris has issued a statement explain ing that the only materials which have been sold are certain perishables, serN hand equipment, surplus stocks an articles which can no longer be used for direct relief work. either in France or in Eastern Europe.
 The total sales of surplus and sec ond hand material by the American Red Cross in Europe will aggregate not more than 3e,0oo. 900 francs, says tTNs Red Cross, while the value of the relief material distributed in Europe during July and August alone will amount to more than 100, 1000, ,ogU francs. i
 The American Red Cross is now con ducting operations in seventeen European countries. The relief ma terial distributed in France mainly in the devastated districts since the arm istice is valued at over 125,000, GOO francs, while in the same period oth- CT European countries have received more than. 200 .ooo.oo francs worth medical and surgical materials, but al so clething, food, barrac cks, etc.
 r Such sales as have been authorized in France have been conducted quidation Board. The official state ment says regarding this material:
 unexpectedly heavy expenses. of work in Poland and the Balkan States, and the beginnings of new re- lief activities in Western and South l. ern Russia made it advisable to turn these stocks into cash to assist the relief programme, IS well as to save certain of the accumulated stocks from total loss.
 "Of all the relief material in the American Red Cross warehouses or May l, one-third was set aside for dis tributien~ in the devastated districts of | France. The distribution of this material is still continuing and vii continue for months to come. while the shipments of relief material to the Commissions of Eastern Europe are or a constantly increasing scale and vii continue thus for many months. Tn the meantime the shipment o1 further relief material from the Unit ed States continues in a large way and we have recently received notice from America Of the early shipment ot supplies valued at. nearly 40.00o,00t francS.''

 Tn Dakar too, towering head and shoulders above the French, and well above the natives, may be seen Ser CTS. Their worship holds the snake, in veneration, and they believe in traps- migration of souls. Six feet, six in- ches. is no uncommon height for them.
 Perhaps thei most intelligent of all the Senegalese natives are the, Flu iahs. whose folk tales betray lofty ideals and poetic imagery that is com parable with early Greek and Morse lore. Their horsemanship is famous, and their cavalry noted for daring and valor. The intelligence of their wo- men, and the respect accorded them. is attested by the proverb Let a female slave enter household and she soon becomes mistress
 Tt was the Berbers whom Gen. Ft dherbe, the French governor, had to subdue in the fifties of the last cen .Sry before he could accomplish the inland advance of the French and as- sure protection for the coast settle ments. Thus he paved the way. for the founding of Dakar. in 1862. That city's commercial importance dates from the building of a railway line connecting it with St. Louis, 163 miles to the northeast

Whenever it is found that unjust advantage is being taken of the people it Is time to Iegislate against it and that is ap- parently what Ohio and other states had in mind when they gave the state the right to dispose of food held after certain period. Not only the loss of the large profit expected but the goods themselves should be sufficient req son for stopping the cold storage hOarding.

 Ninety per cent. of the railroad roll ing stock in the Perm, Ekaterinburg and Cheliabinsk districts was pulled out before the territory was given over to the bolsheviki, according to Gem er1, Jack of .Ilc ir ter-al1ied technical committee. who assisted in the evac- uation. Over 30.oeo freight cars and approximately 600 locomotives were saved.
 The railroad bridge over the Kama at Perm, 970 yards Tong, was put out of commission by the Siberian: mili tary before leaving. It is not so se- riously damaged, however, that it can not be easily repaired. One complete span was dumped into the river.
