A ninety percent efficiency record

Red Cross
Roll Call Is
Begun Here

With workers in the field for their
first solicitations, the annual 1889
Red Cross Roll Call got under way
today under the direction of DR.. T.
NJ. Hunter, chairman.
A total Of $500 is sought this year,
or 5000 more than for the past sew
eral years. The increase is asked be-
cause of increased needs due to war
conditions and added calls upon the
Red Cross for help.
Red Cross buttons are being given
to all who contribute as much as one
dollar for membership.

cipline and spirit of the British
army in France.
The officers and men, from the
commander in chief downward, are,
I am sure, glad to have this visit
from a man, once described as
little chit" of a fellow, who not
only has the ultimate responsibility
for the efficiency and striking power
of this expeditionary force, but, as
they well know, very personal and
human interest in the welfare and
comfort of every man and group of
men along our lines. Well, he has
seen some of the conditions in
which they work and live.
In a civilian overcoay and pair
Of ordinary shoes. he went forth
from Viscount Gort's headquarters
to the slough Of despond created by
nature and its heavy rain in this
part of France where our men are
digging trenches, tank-traps, ma
chine gun posts and other defensive
works. He had to wade through
mud that was ankle-deep and stood
up against wind and rain in desolate
places.
He must have been assured, and
he told us he was assured, that these
positions were very strong against
any possibility of attack. Who could
attack this bog against flashing
fire? And in his talks with many
Of the men and our keen young
officers, he was equally assured that
foul weather makes no difference to
their cheerfulness and fine spirit.
He expects the British soldier to do
his fair share Of grousing, according
to old tradition and army privilege.
But he told us that, in his opinion,
this was very comfortable kind
OF war, unlike anything of its kind
in previous history.
II want" he said, ito take a good
message home. It is important that
the people at home should feel that
the men are happy"
From some Of us who have been
out here for some time, he was re-
assured on this point, though we
should like the people at home to
know that, If cold weather sets in.
the men could do with more under
clothing, woolen gloves and socks
for winter wear. But I can vouch
for the fact that the men in the
mud are as cheerful a crowd as
their predecessors of another gen.
Grafton.
The war minister received some
of us and answered questions very
good-naturedly. 1t was a private
conversation for the most part, but
am allowed to say that he ex-
pressed himself as favorably i'm
pressed by all he had seen. He felt
no sense OF uneasiness regarding the
way in which the struggle with Ger
many was developing and may de-
velop. We gathered from him that
the best results will come from
holding this defensive attitude,
which is the result of experience
gained in the last war, when so
many costly attacks were made
without adequate defense, and he
regards it as important that the
nation should be made to under
stand the meaning of this apparent
lnaction without getting impatient
for dramatic events.

Fall Floods Causing
Starvation in Hopeh

grain stores, disrupted the harvest
and prevented fall sowing were re-
ported yesterday to have brought
81 of the 100 districts in Hopeh

feel a little uncomfortable. He
laughed at this under statement
of frightful things.
Then we went into the Maginot
Line below ground and invisible
from above. We went through a
steel door and over steel draw
bridge, which can be shut against
hostile attack by touch of a
button. We went for a kilometer
and a half, which is quite long
way, down a stone passage lit by
electricity, which, for a moment
or two, flickered and then went
out. Other men, walking with us,
were gunners, soldiers and some
technicians who work the mecha-
nism of this underground world
below small-sized mountain, which
is as complicated and full of ma
chimes as a battleship. AS we
marched, there was at first the
smell of a London tube station, and
afterwards no kind of smell ex-
cept, now and then, of damp earth
and cooking.
We went down by lifts into rooms
where great dynamos were work.
ing: into ammunition rooms where
endless lines of shells were car
ried to the guns on rails. We
stood behind guns of all calibers,
and French artillery officer
showed us how they were sighted
and fired, turning by touch of a
wheel or electrified power. Here
were gun turrets exactly like those
in battleship. Here was hos
p1tal with an operating table be-
low lamp that cast no shadow
grim reminder of the meaning Of
all this machinery and that menace
beyond No-Man's Land.
Scenes of 1870 Remain.
1t took 10 years to make this line
impregnable if swept by fire in an
attack, should that ever come. I do
not think it will ever come. 1t is
possible that Gen. Maginot found
I a way not only to halt this war, but
all war, for, against this, great ar
mics would go down in blood and no
nation would risk that certain mas
sacre. That is picture of modern
defense going beyond the nightmares
of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells.
But in the villages behind the line
one sees little pictures that have
not changed since the last war, or
even that of 1870. AS we drove back
in the darkness We heard the old
jingle of harness and the cracking
of whips The soldiers lounging in
the doorWays of their billets or sit
ting in the old inns. drinking the red
wine of Alsace, have not been mech
anized out of their old character and
type. Their keen young officers have
the blood of those who fought under
the Valois in the novels of Dumas.
France does not change, in spite
of the Maginot Line. But one thing
must be said. There is no war yet
on the western front as we and our
comrades of France knew war at
Ypres and Verdun 20-odd years ago.
No one wants it to begin.
