Apples, peaches and cherries are
dropping from &he trees as a result Of
the cold, wet weather at blooming
time Owing to the unfavorable con-
litions, they have failed to become
fortified. No control measures may
be used.
The cold spring was conducive to
the development of scab and other
fungus troubles which affect the foli-
age Of fruit trees. The weather has
also contributed to more spray injury
than usual However in the face Of
heavy infection, apple orchards which
were properly sprayed -at the right

parison to those that We're not.
Black raspberries and blackberries
are expected to give excellent yields.
this season. To aid next years crop
the tops of the canes should be pinched
off when they reach height Of 2 IL
feet. This causes the canes to be-
come stalker and to develop branches
which have a greater bearing surface.
The canes must be checked when they
reach the desired height and not be
allowed to attain considerable length
and then be cut back.

THE RED CROSS

4 . =
Government insurance costs the dis
charged soldier only about two-thirds
as much as any other kind, is the con-
clusion reached at Lake Division head
quarters after a comparison of rates
of commercial companies and govern
lnent policies. In safety it cannot be
surpassed. Persons prominent in the
life insurance world are enthusiastic
about this government Insurance. For
example, the secretary of one of the
largest life insurance companies says:
"Of course, life insurance company
cannot grant insurance at less than
cost, but the government offers in
surance to soldiers and sailors at less
than it will cost the government to
grant that insurance. 1t is able to
do this because all deficiencies can
be made up out of the funds in the
treasury of the United States, and the
government is justified in this liber-
ality in consideration of the fact that
these soldiers and sailors have risked
their lives, or have been willing to
risk their lives for the benefit of the
nation. All this being so, it is OBJ
viously expedient for soldiers and sail
ors to take all the insurance offered
by the government at the low rate
charged before seeking insurance in
any private corporation"
Boys if you have let your insurance
lapse have it reinstated. The Home
Service secretary of the Red Cross,
in the Gazette block is ready to help
you do this, also to help you convert
your war risk insurance into per-
manent policy. If you are in doubt
about it come into the Office and talk
it over. We find that some of you are
being misinformed as TO the value of
government insurance. Evening ap-
pointments will be made with those
who cannot come during regular Office
hours.
Blanks for additional travel pay are
also on hand.

Hunting the Beneficiarx

Cooperating with the Bureau Of
War Risk Insurance in the work Of
locating benefciaries Of men who died
in service, the American, Red Cross
through its Board of Allotment In
quiries has succeeded in tracing 9,700
of its $4,000 cases investigated up to
May 1st. After every reasonable eff
fort has been made by the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance to locate those
entitled to the governments checks,
the names of the missing benefciaries
are turned over to the Red Cross bu-
reau, and through the Home Service
sections Of the organizations that exist
in the most remote parts of the coun-
try, more exhaustive search is con-
Quoted. Red Cross workers canvass
the neighborhoods where the missing
family formerly lived and in most
cases manage to trace them.
In this community benefciaries have
been located.

Over 1000 men in Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky have to date ben helped
out with money from the fund at
national headquarters which has been
established to provide for soldiers and
sailors taking the government voca-
tional training. This money is only
given in cases where government
checks are delayed and the men in
convenienced in consequence.
Home Service workers often ask the
division headquarters Office to define
the phrase enlisted man" as they
often have to solve problems for
women who have been in the service
and all the rulings talk about the EN-
listed man" only.
In tracing delayed allotments, lib
erty bonds, ETC., a woman in the
United States service comes under the
term used by the military authorities.
Procedure is the same for the woman
as it is in the case of the man.
Formerly an enlisted man was fur.

should be furnished with travel pay

actual home or residence.

Back to the Land

The Home Service section of the
American Red Cross will continue not
only through the period of demobiliza-
ton, but also as peace time activity
and in some communities it will help
others besides the families of soldiers
and sailors. This has been decided
at national headquarters after re-
cent conference of directors of civilian
relief work in the various divisions
and in response to urgent requests
which came from all over the United
States. This desire for the expansion
of Home Service came particularly
from communities where there are no
other organized agencies for social
service. ...
In it's quarterly statement to con-
gress on March 18th, the Federal
Board for Vocational Education re-
ported that 3,735 boys from the Lake
division had applied for some kind Of
re-training.
The American Red Cross is about
to distribute to the hospitals of the
United States approximately 25,-
100000 yards of gauze, such distribu
tion being based upon data procured
and recommendations made by the
American Hospital association. In
quiries have already been received
from various hospitals as to this pos
sibility of utilizing the services OF
Red Cross workers in making up this
material into surgical dressings. As
sisting the civil hospitals of the coun-
try in this manner is thoroughly in

Of local officials makes such action

Kramer's first pronouncement of policy
since he assumed office a week ago.
Describing the machinery being set

would be with the various state In

informed as to conditions in their

ANies Tell Huns
Action of Enjoys
Causes Surprise

PARIS, Nov, 25.-Surprise at the de-
parture of DR.. Simson, head of the
plenipotentiaries sent by Germany to
this city in connection with the armi-
stice protocol, was expressed In a note
delivered to Kurt Won Lersner. head Of
the German delegation at Versailles BY
the supreme council last night. 80
If the treaty Of Versailles Is not put
into force by Dec. /, the note adds, the
responsibility win lie with the Ger
man government, as the departure of
DR., Simson inevitably delays further.
Won Lersner is asked to state what are
the intentions of the German govern
ment. !
1t was learned today Won Lersner
sent a letter to Secretary Dutasta Of
the peace conference last Friday to the
effect that the head OF the plenipoten-
tiaries had become convinced, after the
consultations he had had In Paris, that
he must consult the German govern
ment regarding the protocol, especially
as the national assembly would have
to approve the decisions reached.
The Von Lersner letter protested
against the question of the repatriation
Of prisoners again being bound up with
that of putting the treaty into effect,
1t being pointed out that the allied
governm ents had previously separated
these issues. If the promise of France
was not kept, the letter declared, Ger
man public opinion would not have
confidence In any further promise
France might make. The letter in this
connection drew attention to an article
published recently in the Press de Paris
on the surrender of war criminals.
Premier ~Clemenceau, as president Of
the peace conference, replied Saturday,
saying Won Lersner's letter made him
question If the treaty could be put into
force on Dec. l, owing to the German
governments action, although that gov
eminent had known the contents of the
protocol since Nov. /.
The delay, said M. Clemenoeau, would
be regrettable, as it might raise doubts
as to the sincerity of Germany's in
tentions regarding the execution Of the
engagements made in the armistice and
the peace treaty.
