SAYS FARMERS KEEP
FRANCE FROM SOV|ETS
That Is What Mrs. H. B
Needham, War Worker,
Tells Audience.
"NATION NEEDS AID"
American Committee For
Devastated France Is
Helping.

Farmers do not make bOlshiviki
The farmers of France have kept the
country from becoming bOlshevistic
or socialistic," said Mrs. Henry Beach
Needham of the American Committee
for Devastated France, to a Farm
ers' Week audience. They want a
League of Nations or an alliance
which will protect their frontier in
the next war which they expect with
Germany
Mrs. Needham was in France before
the American committee was, formed
in 1916 and for two years has been ac-
tive in French reconstruction. She
appeared before the Columbia audi
ence in the uniform which the COM
mittee workers wear in France.
as that what they look like" was
the usual exclamation when she in
troduced herself to the French peas
ants, who were very curious at first
to see Americans.
France will need Americas help
for two years more before she can be
self-supporting." said Mrs. Needham
Remember that France lost one OF
every fifty of her population in the
war while America lost but one OF
every 100000. 1t will take S2.0OO.OOO
to finish helping the French to sup
port themselves and We have cam
paign ON now for that sum. We are
asked, Did not the American soldiers
take money into France" Estimat-
ing that the soldiers did spend $780,
100000 a liberal estimate. in French
shops, that amount was Frances war
cost for just ten days and she fought
for three years before America enter
ed the war.
You can help more now than ever,
for conditions are worse than during
the war This is the sixth winter of
want. There is no coal, and the stim-
ulus of endurance until victory is
lacking. If the women and children
of America want to help the women
and children of France they will sub
scribe to the American committees
fund. 1t is the only American recon-
structon organization in France.
Children who lived for months on
soup of thistles and polluted water,
whose only memory is war. always
war, and who worked as German
prisoners twelve hours daily, digging
potatoes or even trenches, must be
taken care Of A fairy-like little girl,
years old, was looking out at the
night and l asked her, What did
your father do before the war" She
looked at me strangely and replied.
He was always. always at the front.
Some of these children have been ac-
tually under fire and their nerves will
never be normal The committee es-
tablished a children's colony far in
the interior to bring these children
back to normal.
ITO one who knew Paris before the
war tremendous change is appar-
ent in the life of the city famous for
it's gayety. Just as in New York and
Chicago. there is money being spent
extravagantly as reflex from the
war by persons who have achieved
sddden wealth and by tourists. The
real French have neither the heart
or the funds for celebration"

New Wireless Distress caIl.

A novel wireless emergency device
by which ships in distress can ring
alarm bells on other ships within wire
less range is reported by the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce in London.
The present wireless system of COM
munication requires that an operator
to hear call must be on duty, wear.
ing the usual telephone headpiece.
The new device is said to enable any
station or ship equipped with a spe-
cial automatic transmitter key to call
up any station or ship within range,
fitted with corresponding receiver re-
lay, even if the operator is absent.
The calling up, according to the Amer
lean chamber, is effected by a bell
which starts ringing on the ships
called.
1t is claimed that one of the most
important uses of the devices will be
to insure Immediate and general at
tention to s. o. S. calls.

WHOLE WORLD LOVES EASTER
Joyous Season Of springtIme When All
Nature ReIclces In the Impulse
of New Life.

The world loves Easter because there
is much Of gladness In it. It's llfe's
Joyous sprlngtime. All animate nature
Is stirred with the mysterious work.
lngs Of llfe's impulses. Birds, bees,
beasts and man alike respond to that
strange something that attracts life's
opposites, In spite of himself the old
bachelor grows tender, and the maiden
lady can't resist just one little klnk
In her hair or an extra little touch to
her dress. Younger lives run riot
Love experienced but unrecognized,
makes havoc of many bosom. And
the Eastern gladness makes the pulse
run faster and the heart thump louder.
But others love Easter because II gives
The best evidence Of faith. Who can
explain the Resurrection? History has
well attested the fact, but the mystery
Is Just as hard for the thinking mind
as ever So the worshiper is thrown
back upon the record which even its
enemies had to admit and learns to
trust the great giver Of life for the
solution, And somehow we are led TO
feel the Joy of such faith, Some
call It blind credulity. Call It what
you will, there is something In the
soul that takes comfort in the fact
