FRENCH HOMELESS ARE

UNITED STATES BARRACKS
American Commission Faces Great
Task In Helping People OF
Devastated France

Washington.-Reli work being can
ried on in northern France by the
commission for relief in Belgium and
the pitiable condition of the one and
a half million inhabitants of that sec
ton who escaped the German inva-
sion are described in cablegram re-
ceived at the headquarters of the COM
mission here from Herbert c. Hoover
at Paris.
Mr.. Hoovers message, which is made
public, reveals that the work OF relief
and rehabilitation in France will fall
more heavily on the commission than
had been expected. The destruction
wrought by the German army was so
complete, Mr. Hoover says, that the
relief work must include not only food
and clothing, but housing over COM
siderable area.
An enlarged organization to handhl
the situation is being built up and
supplies have been obtained from the
uuartermasters departments of the
American army. A large amount OF
secondhand barracks material also
has been taken over from the army
and navy and one hundred and fifty
volunteersf rom the American navy are
experimenting the construction of
barracks near ruined villages for the
inhabitants.
Industrial life in the invaded region
has been almost completely paralyZed,
Mr.. Hoover says. Railroads have been
rendered almost hopeless of recon
struction for many months, the coal
mines have been destroyed and there
is scarcely a single fcctory that can
be operated without very large por-
ton of new equipment.

With the Allied Army on the Dvina
American troops fighting desperate
ly near Kadish have driven back Boil
shevik troops which made an advance
there. The Bolshevists also launched
attacks on the Omega sector and bonn
barded the allied front. The Ameri-
cans came into battle along the Porto
grad road and in the frozen swamps
that border il. The battle was fought
in snow from two to four feet in
depth.
American forces captured Kadish
after display of gallantry that evok-
ed the admiration of the allied COM
manders. Special care has been TAX
en- of the American wounded and the
body of an American officer was TAX
en- back 100 miles by sledge and then
shipped to Archangel for burial. There
were some casualties on, but they
were small in comparison to those in
f1icted upon the enemy.

BIG LOSS BY U. S. ON ROADS
Would Take Six Months Of Increased
Rates to Permit Administration to
Come Out Even

Washington.-The governments loss
in operating the railroads in 1918 is
calculated by railroad administration
officials at less than $150.OOO.O00. This
represents the difference between the
aggregate amount the government will
be compelled TO pay acknowledgements
asrental for the use of their prop
erties-the so-called guaranteed re
turn-and the net income which the
government will receive from the rail
roads.
II will take six months more OF re-
ceipts from the increased freight rates
to permit the government to recoup
its losses, officials believe. If congress
does not approve the proposed FIVE
year extension of federal control, and
as a consequence President Wilson
carries out his announced intention OF
returning the roads to private man
agement at an early date, the gov
ernment's loss will not be made up.
This deficit does not include the big
$50, 100000 and $780,
900 .000-which have been loaned to
railroads to help them pay for the
extensive program of improvements
and purchase of new cars and locomo-
tives. These loans will be repaid
eventually.
The governments loss cannot be
stated exactly until the compensation
Of each road is finally determined, and
until the interstate commerce com
mission complies figures on earnings
and expenses for November and De
3ember

WILSON WANTS FUND TO
PREVENT STARVATION
IN WAR-DEVASTATED AREA

characterization Wilson call
ed on congress Immediately to make
available to him an appropriation OF
one hundred million dollars for the
purpose of providing food and other
urgent supplies to the starving and
crushed peoples of Europe.
In his urgent appeal for this sum,
the president pictures a grave crisis
facing the populations of certain
areas of Europe. These peoples are
not only faced with starvation during
the coming winter, the president en-
phasizes, but "foodstuffs must be plac-
ed in certain localities within the next
fifteen to thirty days if human life and
order are to be preserved.
THE high mission of the American
people to find remedy for starvation
and absolute anarchy renders it nee
essary that we should undertake the
most liberal assistance to these des-
titute regions" the presidents request
says.
Foreign observers in Washington see
in the presidents urgency belief that
food and comfort will be a powerful
weapon against Bolshevism. A tenta-
tive notice to congress of the presi
dents request, with the cabled CORE
spOndence, was presented in the house
by Representative Swager Sherley of
Kentucky, chairman of the house APP
committee-only 48 hours
after the request was received in this
