Built Up Heroic Unit

Even with the physique and experience earned in years of adventure throughout the globe stephen N. Bobo couldn't get by the army doctors when the United States took up the sword, but he didn't give up and he got to the front as a Red Cross man. When he came home he wore the Croix de Guerre, awarded in recognition of one of a series of heroic exploits while he was serving with the Twenty division, and when that New York National Guard or ganization marched up Fifth avenue in triumph Bobo and his little Red Cross unit marched with it, a signal mark of honor from the fighting men. How this unit came into being, together with an account of some of it's deeds, is told by Frank Ward O'Malley in the New Red Cross magazine.
 What I'd like to have, sir" remarked Capt. Bobo to Gen. O'Ryan one day shortly after the captain arrived near the big guns, lis a gang of helpers, roughnecks, who wouldn't give a damn whether school kept or not.

of which ports have been closed since the war began New customs offices were fixed at Gaza, Beersheba. Jerusa- lem. Jaffa, Ludd, Tul Keram and Haifa and the consignment of civilian goods was permitted only via these points.
 The Turks had taken the bulk of Pal estines able bodied men out of the coun- try and the moutainous character Of much of the country together with the number of arms still left in the hands of the inhabitants made the police prob lem a knotty one. Egypt loaned 900 off cers and men and a force of 100 cavalry and camery for police purposes, and around this nucleus the present force of o. E. T. A. has been built up. At pres ent the police ratio in Palestine is one man to every seven square miles of coun- try. In Egypt before the war, the fig ure was one man to every 43 square miles, but the difference is a temporary one and quite easily understandable.
 The functions of the O. E. T. A. as laid down in the laws and usages of war made it impossible to spend money on any but the most urgent of repairs to public works. Much was done on relief work, for the situation when the British came into Palestine was appalling. In this work, o. E. T. A. was aided ma terially by the Syrian and Palestine re- lief fund the Zionist commission. the American Zionist medical unit, and the American Red Cross. In order to re- start agricultural work, agricultural loans and the loans of farm animals were made on deferred payments. The turks had an agricultural bank in Pal { stine, but when they skipped, they look with them all its records, all its cash balances and all its officials. There will be a British successor to the Turk ish agricultural bank as soon as O. E. T A. can get it under way, but at present loans of cash and animals are be- ing made without the medium of bank.
 The tax situation which the British found was the sort of tax situation which only a hurried Turkish evacuation could have produced. The military service ex- amption tax, the professional and road taxes, certain census fees, the tax on land transfers and the school tax have

Ia cks only $SS4, ,1S0 a year of paying for it's own government. In the last budget of O. E. T. A. (south). the stipulated ex- penditures are $36 ,245. and the receipts $, ,309. 165. In view of the fact that the country is still under military occupa tion, that the army still operates the Palestine military railroad and does not accept civilian traffic without permis sion; that the ports are still closed, in short, that the trade of the country is still in allowance. 0. E. T. A. s budget is no less than remarkable.
 The personnel through which Major General Money is administering Pales- tine consists of five officers in chief, whose positions correspond to the posi- tions of ministers in a civil government; 34 other officers, 23 soldier clerks, and 27 civilians. all in the German buildings on the Mount of Olives; IS officers, IA soldier clerks and 104 civilians in the provinces: a police and gendarmere force of 1273 all ranks; a public health establishment of six officers and 322 men; an agricultural staff of 34, an educa- tional staff of 300, and revenue staff of 227.
 The money situation in Palestine. ordi- narily one of the most complicated money situations to be found anywhere in the world, was hopelessly bad when the British came. One of O. F. T. A. s first acts was to fix the rate of ex- change Turkish paper was outlawed. the Turkish gold pound was fixed at a valuation of S7.75 Egyptian piastres Ca piastre es 5 cents), and five Turkish piastres in silver were fixed at thr"
 Egyptian piastres. Egyptian and Britt paper was made legal tender at it's face value, and rates of exchange were fixed for gold and silver pounds, lire, dollars, kronen marks shllings and rupees. The food situation was also dealt with. the two main sources of Palestines food sup ply having both been shut off, the Tau ran by military operations and Egypt by the fact that the Palestine military rail- way was used exclusively for military traffic and the port of Jaffa was closed.

Farmers To Help
Develop Foreign
Trade
Shipping Board Urges Teamwork
Study of World Conditions
Advised for Food
Producers

The United States Shipping
Board urges upon farmers in the
following article the necessity of
developing farm markets in fore
ign lands and of studying world
conditions.
A ship from Australia touched
at New York recently on her way
to the British Army in France. She
carried 5000 tons of jam made
from Australian oranges, berries,
and cane sugar. This cargo prom
ises to be the first in a steady
trade between Australia and Eng
land, giving farmers in that far
British colony a new solution of
their difficult marketing problems.
Many other farm marketing
problems in the United States and
elsewhere are difficult puzzles I'M
til one applies to them the new key
brought by war the merchant
ship. The agricultural communi-
ties like our great fruit raising,
dairying, and livestock sections
find new outlets, not only for pres,
ent products, but improved anc
concentrated products which give
the best profit and the best balanc.
ed agriculture. Even a country sc
far from big consuming countries
as Australia, through the merch
ant ship and world trade, is able t.
develop intensive industries Ike

Must Fill Their Holds

Chairman Hurley, OF the united
States Shipping Board, is devot:ng
attention to farm markets abroad
in onnection with the new Ameri-
can merchant marine. We shall
presently be turning out merchant
ships ready for sea service at the
rate of more than 100000 tons
monthly. By this time next year
hundreds of these ships will be
running on new trade routes be-
tween the United States and Latin
America, Europe, the Orient, and
elsewhere. Ships alone can not
create world trade-there must be
teamwork between ships, banks,
investors, manufacturers, an d
farmers. 1t is essential that our
farmers give serious thought to
the American merchant marine
now, while it is in process of de-
velopment. There are two genera!
lines of interest.
First, merchant ships can be
studied as transportation. Every
farmer knows that transportation
in the form of railroads gives him
access to markets; that without
railroads farming in many Sec
items would be impossible. The
American merchant marine simply
extends our railroads over the
trade routes of the world, giving
farmers access to vast new mar
kets for every product of the soil.
Study Foreign Trade
Second, merchant ships can be
studied from the community
standpoint. Local farmers organ
izations now can begin Investigate
ing local products in the light of
world trade, ascertaining what the
community produces that can be
shipped abroad, and where pos
g;ble world markets are to be
found, and how connections can be
made Herewith. The Government
is already investigating world mar
kets through such agencies as the
Department of Agriculture Gu
reau Of Markets., the Department
Of Commerce bureau Of Fore: gn
and Domestic Commerce), the Con
sular Service Department Of
State), the United States Shipping
Board, the War Trade Board, etc
These agencies can find out what
farm products other countries
want, and ait what seasons, and in
what form. They can supply infor,
nation about world markets to tne
American farmer. But details as
to what each farming community
in the United States can produce
for export must be ascertaineC
largely by our farmers themselves
Earnest attention to the new Am
er!can merchant marine as !!
bears upon American farming to
day is not only a service to farm
ing, but a service to the nation.
