FRENCH WAR
HEROES PASS

PARIS. Jan. 6. U.P$-One by
by one, Frances greatest soldiers
of the World war are being re-
tired or placed on the reserve list.
Most of the major officers who led
the French armies in 1914-18 have
or are about to reach the age limit
of 65, and their passing means the
disappearance from active ranks
of an impressive generation of
militariStS.
This month the ak fell on Gen.
eral Rene Putois, commander of
the 10th army corps at Rennes
who was a colonel during the war,
in the Rheims sector. Last month
General Gourand, one-armed hero
of the Dardanelles, who later, with
the Fourth French army, hurled
back Ludendorff's assault in the
Champagne district, was retired
from active participation in delib
erations of the superior war coun-
Gil.
Next month Gen. Adolphe Gull
laumat, who commanded the first
army corps in the five-month bat
tie at Verdun, in 1915, is slated
) for retirement from the superior
war council. Another famous
fighter to go is Gen. Louis-August
Duchene, hero of st. Mihiel in
the dark days of 1916
Altogether, 20 generals, repre-
senting the flower of Frances
military genius during the World
war, will be reduced in 1888 tc
inactivity. Among them are names
: long familiar to poilu and civilian
alike Generals Henri Claudel
who commanded dusky colonial

or BUCK NOVEL

Eastward, Westward. first nov.
al by Pearl S. Buck who became
famous with the publication of hel
later book, ''The Good Earth, wa:
capably reviewed last night by Mrs
Leslie Harrington for members OF
the Junior Ten Thousand clubs
book section.
The meeting was held at the
home of Miss Kathryn Thornburg
$50 Olive avenue, and. the mem
bers present thoroughly enjoyed
Mrs. Harrington's review of the
conflict between old China and the
new generation influenced by west
ern ideas.
Divided into two parts, the story
deals with the struggle in customs
and beliefs between a western
woman married to q Chinese, and
that between two Chinese. one
brought up according to the old
traditions and the other according
10 western ideas. Unlike The
Good Earth, this novel deals with
the life of the upper classes.
At the conclusion of the review
refreshments were served by the
hostess.
The section will meet again next
week due TO the fact that one meet
ing was postponed as it occurred in
the holidays. The next meeting
will be with Miss Marlys Sargent
and the program will be given by

577,OO0,0DO TONS
Of CEREALS EATEN
World Consumption of Grain
in 1882 Determined by
Agriculture Institute.
What does the world eat?

What does the world eat?
It's two thousand millions OF popula-
tida managed to consume in 1882, IN
ork form or another, 158,000,000 tons
ofIwheat, 5e, 900, 900 tons of rye, 5l,oOo,-
ooh tons of barley, 100000 tons OF
oats. 10000 900 tons of corn, 1O5,oo0,-
600 tons of rice.
At any rate, that much was produced,
according to the latest figures OF the
international Institute of Agriculture
at Rome. of which the United States Is
a member. which keeps track OF world
production.
The statistical picture Is carried
through the first half Of 1882, when re.
ports from all over the globe showed
! 24O.o46 square miles devoted to the
culture of wheat, corn, rye, bariey, oats'
rice and minor cereal crops.
The two billion individuals are shown
scattered over 345 100000 square miles
about five and a half persons 10 tHe
square mile. Only about one three
hundredth OF the total area is devoted
IN the production of cerealS-a total
of 1,240,046 square miles.
The United States had the largest
amount of land devoted to cereal
production, total of 84,125,000 hec-
tares, hectare being approximately
two and a half acres. India was close
second with approximately 79,Ooo,o0o
hectares.
Asia. with a population Of 1,072, ,447,-
900. was far in the lead in respect to
population, containing SO per cent Of
all the people on the globe. Europe
without Russia, had population OF
8o,585 900. Russia's population was
estimated at 1853. 3.166,Oo0, or just a little
below that of North and Central
America, which totaled 68.706,000.
South America trailed the continents in
population. with 84538,000 persons.
The tables show little increase in the
amount of land under cultivation
during the last decade. The land de-
voted to wheat culture has increased
about 100000 hectares over the
period from 1928 to 1927 but rye. bar
ley and potato acreage has remained
stationary. There has been about a
100000 hectare increase. however, in
the land devoted to corn and 5000, 900
hectare increase in the rice area.
BY far the greater part of the world S
land remains unploughed, the figures
show. with a great amount Of it not
adapted to cultivation under present
conditions.

An effect1Ye answer to the current
crop of lies against the Soviet Union
is contained in the october issue of
Soviet Russia Today" just out.
Henri Barbusse, who figured prom
inently in the recent U. S. Congress
Against War, contributes the leading
article Writing on For a League
Against War, Against Fascism and
for Defense OF the Soviet Union"
the great French novelist points out
the immediate and growing menace
of an attack upon the U.S.SR. Only
the organized resistance. of the mas
ses, says Barbusse, can prevent an
open armed attack upon the U.S.SR.
which carries out consistent policy
of peaceful Socialist construction.
How criminals built the vast en-
cheering project of the Baltic-White
Sea Canal, is described by Listons M.
Oak, editor of Soviet Russia Today"
Here we see the Soviet policy of
retaining its law violators, turning
them into useful members Of society,
who contribute to the Socialist con-
struction of the Soviet Union. In
stead of leaving prison anti-social
and vindictive, as in the case in the
capitalist world. the Soviet Union
develops them into builders of the
new society.
Another important contribution is
against Imperialist War" by Ro-
main ROLAND. Increased war bud
gets, the ever deepening crisis the
sharpening conflicts among the i'm
perialist nations show clearly, says
ROLAND, that war is near Amidst
this chaos and conflict he states,
only the Soviet Union pursues a
steady peace policy.
Other interesting and timely ar
ticles in the october issue are "Sov-
let Russia in American Fiction" and
Maxim Gorky, Literary Giant" by
Alan Calmer; Soviet Karelia," by
David Marvin; planning Socialist
Cities" by Isadore Rosenfeld;
"Wings Over Russia" by Robert
Good, and letters from Soviet farm
ers and workers.
Rounding out the issue are or
ganizational articles dealing with the
coming National Convention of the
Friends of the Soviet Union, to be
hald IN Decerber. the campaigr or
the election of worker delegates from
basic industries to visit the Soviet
Union in November. and a variety
of photographs of Soviet life.
The October issue of Soviet Russia
Today" is interesting and informal
tive 1t answers adequately the flood
of lies and distortions in the press
and from the White Guardists, Cath
Ole Church, fascists and imperialists.
1t deserves wide distribution among
the large number of people who are
keenly interested in what is taking
place in one-siXth of the world, where
workers and farmers are building a
classics society.
