ADOPTS WAR ORPHANS
Ohio Regiment Now Holds Record In
This Work.

This WORK
The One Hundred and Sixty-sixth
regiment of infantry, mostly Ohioans
are leading in the contest of adopt
Ing French orphans. Already this
regiment has adopted "a boy orphans.
More than 500 French children, made
fatherless by the war, have been
adopted by the various American army
units in France, and it is expected that
this number will soon be increased TO
1000.
One little orphan, whose father, a
French lieutenant, was killed in the
Argonne in 1915, always signs her
letters to her godfathers: "Votre mas
cote affectionne." Her letters never
fail to express the wish that the
Americans who have consented to aid
her are not injured.
The Stars and Stripes, the official
A. E. F. newspaper, launched the idea
scme weeks ago and since then every
unit in the army has responded. The
men who ask to become godfathers to
the orphans send funds to the Ameri-
can Red Cross, which attends to the
needs of the children.

Plague of Crows
Destroys Irish Crops

New York, Sept. 29.-Millions of
of black crows have been invading
Ireland the past year and destroy
ing nearly half of the harvest of
the farmers of the Emerald Isle,
according to Peter A. Clune,
Knights of Columbus secretary, who
just returned from abroad. Mr..
Clune was in Belgium, England,
France and Ireland, and in the lat
ter country found that the farm
ers are heartbroken because they
have no practical method to frus-
trate the invaders. The crows have
been arriving in large numbers the
past two years, and the Irishmen
claim the birds have been driven
out of France and Belgium forests
by the heavy cannonading during the
war and discovered Ireland.
Mr.. Clune explained that the farm
ers cannot use any buckshot on the
birds because the country has been
heavily garrisoned by the English
government with troops. Within the
past twelve months every farmer
has been deprived of his favorite
fowling piece by the soldiers who
have seized all kinds of firearms.
Some of the farmers tried paris
green poisoning. but the birds still
kept coming. The crowds are very
bold and unheedful of the scarecrow
eff1gies thrown about the fields.

RESTRICT USE OF
COAL IN BERLIN
Railroad Service Cut; Cafes
and Restaurants Con-
serve Fuel

Berlin, Sept. 29.-To conserve
Berlin's coal supply, a move will be
made to change the closing hours
for cafes and restaurants from 11.SO
D. m. to an earlier hour not yet de-
cided upon. The theaters and res
taurants will be restricted in their
use of light, and Berlin will have to
expect O material restriction even
before the winter so that coal can
be saved.
The railroad service also will be
materially estricted-sleeping cars
and dining cars will probably be en-
tirely abolished owing to the in
creasing shortage of locomotives.
Germany is now short of $50 loco
tives, while $4,000 cars are due to
France.
There seems no lack of raw ma
terials to the railroad foundries, but
the workmen cannot or will not de-
liver their peace-time quality for
quantity of labor. A locomotive in
peace time could be built in a week
by lis workmen. Now 213 work.
men are necessary to build one.
The emergency workers of Great
er Berlin have published an appeal
to the miners of Germany urging in
creased production, since they say
n catastrophe threatens Berlin
through lack of coal which makes
it impossible to produce building
materials, notably cement.
4 Waterways are being used in all
POSSIBLE cases as a substitute for
steam transportation.

ISSUES REPORT
ON STOCKS SOLD
Red Gross Statement Corrects
Inaccurate Stories of
Big Sales

Paris, Sept. 29.-Because many
inaccurate reports of large sales of
American Red Cross merchandise
weeks, Red Cross headquarters in
Paris has issued a statement ex-
planning that the only materials
which have been sold are certain
perishables, secondhand equipment,
surplus stocks and articles which
can no longer be used for direct re-
lief 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 30,000,000 francs.
says the Red Cross, while the value
of the relief material distributed in
Europe during July and August
alone will amount to more than
100,000,0O0 francs.
Operations Widespread
The American Red Cross Is now
conducting operations in II Euro
pean countries. The relief material
distributed in France, mainly in the
devastated districts, since the armis-
tice. is valued at over 125,000,000
francs, while in the same period
other European countries have re-
ceiyed more than 2O0,0O0,000 francs
worth of similar supplies. including
not only medical and surgical ma
terial, but also clothing, food, bar
racks, etc.
Such sales as have been author
lied in France have been conduct ed
through the American Red Cross
Liquidation Board. The official
statement says regarding this ma
terial:
Unexpectedly heavy expenses of
work in. Poland and the Balkan
States, and the beginning of new
relief activities in Western and
Southern Russia, made it advisable
to turn these stocks into cash to
assist the relief programs, as well
as to save certain of the accumu-
lated stocks from total loss.
"Of all the relief material in the
American Red Cross warehouses on
May 1, one-third was set aside for
distribution in the devastated dis
tricts of France. The distribution
of this material is still continuing
and will continue for months to
come, while the shipments of relief
material to the commissions In
Eastern Europe are on constantly
increasing scale and will continue
thus for many months.
I'm the meantime the shipment
of further relief material from the
United States continue in a large
way, and we have recently received
notice from America of the early
shipment of supplies valued at
nearly 40,0O0,000 francs"
