WONDEIiFUL IVOKK Oh" RED CROSS
Tlio recent report il! the lied Cross work completed
by the La Chvinde chapter and its auxiliaries shows that
the amount of supplies exceeds 21,000 pounds and will
make more than an ordinary carload. When it is con
sidered that this immense amount of things needed' for
the army and the hospitals is made, up principally of small
articles which contribute but little in themselves to the
aggregate weight and that on still a large portion of the
things supplied, hours of time have been spent in their
preparation, we can begin to grasp a little, bit of an idea
as to the time and effort which these patriotic workers
have expended. '
Not in La Orande alone, but in the surrounding locali
ties where the workers are probably more limited in
number, but none the less zealous in the cause, the work
goes steadily on, piece by piece, hand and brain working
in quite unison for the sons or the neighbors' sons who
are "with the colors."
Among many of the auxiliaries, the usual socjal func
tions' which have heretofore been a part of the neighbor
hood meetuiga' luu'C J.U'eii abandoned entirely in order to
do more work for the lied, Cross. And every piece of
work turned out and every ounce of gausse or knitted
garment is consecrated to the holy cause of triumphant
world.

1'ormer President William Howard Tal't, who is speak-i
iug to soldiers in the great cantonments of Ihe cast under!
the auspices of the national war work council of the Y. .M.
V. A., says: .
"The United States, will, insist upon a just peace tj
one of material conquest. It is a moral victory the world i
should win. I think I do not mistake the current of public !
sentiment throughout our entire country in saying thai j
our people will favor an international agreement' by which!
'the peace brought about through such blood and suffering!
and destruction and enormous sacrifice shall be preserved !
by the joint power of the world.
"Meantime, let us hope and prav that all the allies will .
reject proposals for settlement and compromise of everv --
nature; that they will adhere rigidly and religioiislv 1o Ihe 1 a t r l O jv !

The United States food administration publislu
cablegram from Lord Rhondda:
"Unless you are able to send, the allies at least seventy
five million" bushels of wheat over and above what you
have exported up to January 1, and in addition to the
total exportable surplus .from Canada, I can not take the
responsibility of assuring our people that there will lie
food enough to win the war."
To this cable the food 'administration replies:
"We will export every grain of wheat that the Amer
ican people save from their normal consumption. We be
lieve our people will not fail to meet, the emergency."
Secretary of War Maker assured the senate committee
last week that the year 1918 will place an additional mil
lion and a half of American soldiers upon the battlefields
of .Europe.' '' ' 1: " ; "
President Wilson, addressing the farmers of the coun
try one week ago, pointed out the necessity for a greatly
increased food supply. If this food is to be produced
to win the war there must be men to plant and to harvest
the crops that produce it. This year will see approximately
ten million men withdrawn from the usual avenues ol
occupation and diverted to the army and navy, to muni
tion plants and to other industries that bear directly upon
the war.
The largest single hitherto untapped available labor
source is the two million boys of l( years of age and over1
who ai'c in the schools, or who are engaged in unessential j
occupations.
The United Slates Hoys' Working Reserve is attempt- j
nig to unionize these two million hoys to iane ine places in
farm and shop now being vacated by men.
