Red Cross Work Among the War Veterans

INCREASING seriousness of the prob
i lem of the care of veterans of the
World war, as manifested in but one
of it's phases, is shown in statement
by the American Red Cross that its
work alone in this field now involves
an annual expenditure of approximate
" $9,600,000.
This is not the peak, it is stated, for
all information reaching national head
quarters indicates that the calls for
Red Cross service to veterans are con-
stantly increasing, and to meet them
centralizing of Red Cross work for
veterans is being put into effect.
OF the total annual rate of expendi-
ture for this work more than 100000
is disbursed from National Red Cross
funds. while the remainder is spent
nv the nationwide chain of chapters,
through which to large extent Red
Gross service is. made available to for
mer soldiers, sailors and marines and
their families. The bulk of chapter ex-
penditures is for home service and
financial assistance to veterans.
AS a result of the REIMBURSEMENT
three major Red Cross services for
veterans are now. grouped under the
direction of Arthur Foote. former ma

Uncle Sans Big Claims Against Germany

600; claims of American residents of
Germany for property taken from them
there amounting to $191 900, 900 !;
American insurance companies demand
about $50, 100000; and the government
itself would like $S0,0O0,OOO. The mis-
cellaneous list, first indicated, includes
claims for loss of life, personal injury,
vessels sunk by submarines, cargOes
lost by the same means, insurance
paid and premiums on war-risk insur-
ance.
The foregoing statement takes no
account of the expense of maintaining
the American army in occupied Ger
many. American Seamen have pre-
scented a number of claims for loss OF
wages between their capture and re-
lease by Germany. They do not include
indemnity for cruelty or maltreatment,
but merely for loss of time. Many
American citizens have complained to
the Department of State concerning
losses suffered as result of the de-
probation of the German mark, and
have indicated desire to get indem-
MITIGATION therefor. Not a few had de-
posits in German banks, mostly in
marks. Debts are owed to many in
marks. German securities payable in
marks are held by many.

Wireless Now Writes Its Own Message

DEBATING the German and other for
ID eign scientists to the goal and in
augurating a new era in wireless COM
munication, DR.. e. A. Eckhardt and
DR.. J. G. Karcher of the bureau of
standards have succeeded in recording
radio signals geographically.
When this invention is perfected and
I'm general use receiving operators lis
tening day and night for the signals
with their elaborate listening appara-
tus will be unnecessary. The radio
will write its own message with pen
and ink.
Before a group of fellow scientists
at the meeting of the Philosophical So
ciety at the Cosmos club, Doctors Eek
hardt and Karcher demonstrated that
their apparatus could take out of the
air signals sent out from Lyons,
France, 1000 miles away, and auto
matically transform them into humpy
ink lines on chart that can be easily
read.
They have also been able to place
I'm the same circuit and record with
the same pen the ticks of chronom-
eter. and the naval observatory time
signals sent out regularly by AnnapO-
lis.
With this new apparatus the longi-
tude of any spot far away from cables
and wires can be determined to within

blood and treasure in the war, would
do or say aught that would enable Ger
many to escape fulfillment of it's just
obligations to the victims of aggress
sion is not only absurd but distinctly
repugnant to the administration.
This is the answer to the fears en-
tertained among the allies that the
United States contemplates course
which would encourage Germany to re-
sist payment of reparations and to
German hopes that the United States
can be relied upon to help Germany
escape paying the penalty.
Whether the Preparations exacted of
Germany by the allies under the terms
of the Versailles treaty are more than
Germany is able to pay and whether
these Preparations have been deter
mined in fair and just manner are
questions upon which the administra-
ton is not stating its position at this
time.
That the Presidents attitude as to
Germany's responsibility, however.
means that the administration will &C
cede to the wishes of the allies as to
the continued participation of the
United States in European affairs does
not follow. The ratification of the
Versailles treaty, even with such modi-
fications as were embodied in the
Lodge reservations, is now out of the
question.

Birth Rate of France Increases.

Vital statistics show that the birth
rate increased in France in 1920. At
Marseilles, for the first time in years.
the number of births greatly exceed

was $50 and that Of deaths $40 only,
whereas the figures for 1919 had been:
Births, 420, and deaths, 571. In lou
Ion the number of births exceeded by

not happened in 80 years. From Or

been communicated, and at Dieppe the

GERMANY is kicking over what it
" calls excessive PREPARATIONS demands
of the allies. Doubtless it has another
kick coming over an additional little
bill of $600,00O,000 to $70O,0O0,OOO
which Uncle Sam has to present on
the same account. One of President
Wilson's last official acts was to send
to the senate, in response to resolu-
ton of inquiry. a statement of claims
for PREPARATION against Germany filed
with the government. AS the United
States, temporarily at least, is not
acting with the allies, what machinery
will be available for the collection of
this bill is yet to be determined.
The bill includes claims filed with
the State department for losses of va
rious kinds footing up about $221 ,0O0,-

scrap OF paper and on the paper was
written an address with these words:
1.-THE key to the fulfillment of your
dreams. John Elgers.n
After changing her mind as to
whether she should or shouldn't every
five minutes of the intervening time,
the Saturday half holiday found Carol
Hastings on a train bound for the adj
dress written on the scrap Of paper.
And there, smuggling cozily besides q
village lane, she found an exact
replica Of the little cottage she had
designed-house of her dreams |!
Through the central path of the gar
den, ablaze with old-fashioned flow
ers up the step to the latticed porch
Carol walked like one In dream.
The brass key fitted the lock- The
house was furnished with quaint old
fashioned furniture of the cottage
type. There were willowware dishes
on the shelves and fragrant linen on
the beds. Everything bespoke an ex-
pected occupant or occupants. Carol
passed out onto the latticed porch
again and stood looking at the little
garden wenderingly, as though, If it
would, it could offer some explanation
as to what all this meant.
A stout, middle-aged woman in a
neat house dress came down the lane
and approached the porch. BE it as
how you are the lady what is come to
stay here?" she questioned. Because
If you be, Mr.. Elgers said as how
was to look out for you It's the lady
Of my Dreams says he. Be you the
one?"
Carol answered, II seem to be-" and
as she spoke the words there came
over her the sensation of having made
solemn pledge.
A month had gone by, slowly and
peacefully as only village months can,
and still Carol stayed on in the house
the city she had resigned her position
with the madame and packed her be-
lOngings. Day after day Carol had
watched for some one, the while deny
ing to herself that she was doing so.
For there was one thing lacking in the
perfection, of her happiness whether
they own up to it or not, people do
not live alone in the houses of their
dreams!
Carol had taken to setting two
places at the table with the excuse to
herself that it made her meals less
lonely, when one noon just as she was
about to sit down to her lunch there
came the bang of the knocker against
the door. Carol opened 1t and there
stood Jack Elgers. For hours she
had thought of what she would say
when he did come and now that he
had she could say nothing at all She
opened the door wide that he might
walk In, but he hesitated on the
threshold and asked, MAY / come in
to the house of your dreamsT
Come" murmured the girl And
Jack Elgers came into her life, never
to leave it, for people do not live alone
in the houses of their dreams!
