the economic rivalry likely to be almost as fierce,

Whether the alliance continues in some come to know one another better than to feel the need of a more sympathetic
 International understanding. It is not surprising, therefore, that a cry has arisen on both sides of the Atlantic for the adoption of a universal language by means of which the peoples of all the bat tered allies states could communicate freely and spontaneously. If the inhabi- tants of France and Italy, of Rumania and Portugal, of Servia and Cuba, of the British commonwealth, and the United States are to be knit together by more intimate friendliness, they would profit by the possession of a common speech in which to hold converse with one another.
 This has led enthusiasts in London and in New York to urge that steps be taken either one of the existing racial tongues At once to adopt as a universal speech or one of the artificial languages of which half dozen have been made to order in the past half century. One American ad- vocate of immediate action asserted that "the need is here and now-real, positive, pressing;' and he was insistent that the allied governments in conjunction with the few neutral powers shall select some one existing language, to De made part of the regular tuition in the schools of all countries-side by side, of course, with the existing language of each country" He quoted aptly from Charles Reade's ''rhe Cloister and the Hearth For what are all your barbarous jargons but barriers between mems hearts?"

A Trades Union-the Mothers

Mary Halton. M. D., in the World Out
 look
 If I had a million dollars I would or ganize a trades union of the mothers of America, eventually of the world Every one knows that in union alone there lie strength and power. Individuals can do nothing. And yet today each mother keeps apart by herself, grooming over her baby as her mother did before her. If the baby is taken ill she calls doctor sometimes a doctor who knows many things about babies, and sometimes doc
 tor who doesn't known so much as he should.
 The average mother does not know about the advanced methods we doctors have found in caring for babies She doesn't know of the new things we are discovering every day. There isn't any way for her to find out. There would be local unions, where mothers could meet, and from the platforms the worlds most advanced doctors could talk of the care of children. I would suggest the grandmothers of Americas babies as union organizers. women who would travel from city to city. unionizing the women who were mothers.
 After the trades union of mothers grew into a strongly organized union it would 1 have great political power. It would be able to put through good legislation: milk strikes and strikes holding back

RED GROSS WORK IN
 FEEDING REFUGEES
Greek Government Grateful to America for Important
 Aid Being Rendered
By Associated Pres

Xanthi, Greece. March S0.--Greece is in- debted to the United States for many things, but she probably will remember longest the aid given by the American Red Cross to the 5000 or more refugees who have been coming back from Bull garia and Asia Minor over every road and mountain pass. Unable through it's own agencies to care for this immense number of homeless and destitute people, the Greek government left the task to America's big relief organization. King Alexander, Premier venizelos and the Greek government have already testified their gratitude for this assistance which was made possible through the gener- osity of the American people.
 Twenty-four hours after the signing of the arrnistice the Red Cross estab- lished relief stations at every point in Bulgaria, Turkey and Macedonia over which these innocent victims of the war were likely to come. It dispatched train load after trainload of supplies to ths areas in which suffering was known to be worst.
 The stream of refugees has not yet ceased, and the work of the 2Sd Cross continues. There has been serious development of typhus among the re>S gees quartered at Kavalla, Drama and this city.
 Edward Walker of Luray, Va, young officer in the American Red Cross. gave his life in fighting the disease. Three American nurses have also been stricken. but are recovering In creek hospitals.
 Some of .the experiences of the Ameri- cans in relieving the great misery among the refugees have been tragic. wom- an Red Cross worker thus describes a typical day spent by Lieut. Arner Cobb of Denver, Col, at his lonely Red Cross relief station at Xanthi:
 With the assistance of two Greek boys he fed from 800 to 1000 people, ad- ministered to the sick. and gave out ra- tions of bread and soup and rice. and that day had been able to add bully beef to his rations.
 There were 4S cars on the side tracks loaded to the limit, 70 to 60 persons to the car. These refugees carried with them in the cars their donkeys. pigs, chickens. sheep, goat sand personal eff fects. From a few of the cars cows poked their heads. In this environment one baby has been born.
 "Lieutenant Cobb numbers the cars when they come in and counts the in- mates, chaIlSing their number up on the outside of the cars. His kitchen is on the tracks He selects four persons from each car to come after the food. bring ing with them their own receptacles. In that way they are cared for swiftly and without confusion After everything is served he goes through the train to see that no one has been overlooked
 "On this train was the governor of Zichni and his wife. both ptifully vast ed. He had been deported IS months before to Bulgaria, together with 9 oth- CTS from his town. Thirty-seven of his party died of ill treatment in Bulgaria. !"
 The same observer, writing regarding a visit to the American Red Cross sta- tion at Kavalla, says:
 Today there are fewer than 10000 in- habitants in Kavalla- When the Bulgars

Need of Universal Language

 More than a score of nations were at war with the German empire, and it's vas sal states; and the alliance. between the various and disparate countries banded to- gether in defense of civilization grew closer as they severally discovered the absolute necessity of unity of purpose. It has been proved that they can act to- gether in war time and therefore the question is being raised on all sides to whether they cannot retain friendly un- derstandng now that peace has been won. The advantages of their association to repel the ruthless aggressor have been so obvious, that there is a strong de- sire to preserve these advantages when

b[ACKF ACE ACT FEATURE AT LOEW'S
  Bill for the Week Includes Many Vaudeville Stars and
 Novel Features

Every once in while there is an act presented in vaudeville that is away from
 the beaten path, and usually it is black Bijou the first part of the coming week is one of them. It is Bob Ferns and
 Jim Howell in their new skit called "I'n Murder Him." comedy delight full of genuine surprises by it's originality. An odd way of presenting musical act is that of Gray and Graham, who cariS a big special set representing a trans port, and Gray is seen as sailor in a clever and artistic Miss Granam rea,ures her solos on the bassoon. whose tones are almost human.
 Jack Lee and Lou Lawrence have an up- -to-the- minute skit called "Miady RaY- fles,' combination of songs and talk. Other acts will be the Elvera Sisters, in novelty and acrobatic dances, and Jack head balancers.
 The photoplay will be Peggy Hyiand in Miss Adventure and as usual Peggy will give her audience a thrill For the last half of the week the biz. bill is topped by Lieut.. Jack Merlin, a real entertainer. This is an exceptional number There are five other all-star acts of vaudeville and the usual seven
 part photoplay in which Hale Hamilton
 stars, "After His Own Heart Other numbers are Shaw and Shaw. two

baby foods could be averted. Prices of
 baby carriages, scales, blankets-every-
 thing that a baby needs-could be made
 uniform. Fairgrounds would be built, schools would be better, everything that
 leads toward the building up of body,
 mind and soul could be obtained for the
 future citizen. No group of politicians
 would be able to oppose union of
 mothers introducing bills for the coming generation.
 In the schools about New York 92 per cent of the children have some physical defect. And in the United States as a whole, only 50 per cent of all the babies born live to be over 23 years of age. The trades union of mothers would look back of those figures with more interest than any charitable organization, or
 group of politicians. And the meetings oi the union. the lectures, the courses, would lessen the percentage considerably A million dollars spent in organizing a
 mothers union would do much toward l improving the United States in general.
