THE eool-aason eropa consist of veg etables demanding more or lcs cool weather throughout their entire period of a-ruwlh. Soma vegetables will ma ture before the heat of Summer arrives, such as leaf lettuce, early head lettuce, spinach, radishes, turnip, peas. An other a-roup of plants preferring cooler weather are head lettuce, early cabbage and early cauliflower, grown from plants started under glass and pur chased by the amateur gardener. An other group of cool-weather preferring crops are late cabbage, celery, late cauliflower. Brussels sprouts. These make their principal growth during Autumn, but roust be Marled In advance of that season to complete their growth for maturity at the proper time. Another group of cool-season crops Is composed of beeta, carrots, parsnips, salsify, chard, onions and horseradish. These are normally planted In the Spring and will stand some frost, but will also stand considerable heat and trout h after they have ones become established. The warm-season crops Include beans (both string and lima), aweet corn, cu cumbers, equashea and pumpkins, to matoes, eggplants and peppers. Of these last crops, tomatoes and peppers will land aomewhat cooler weather than the eggplant, but I never fail to have a crop of egsplant yearly. The Oregon pole lima makes a satisfactory lot of dry lima beans, although the plant Is not a true lima.

Captain I-bbe. who reached France last Krptemher. took charge of the work and established the hospital In a structure which was once a fMsh lonablo hotol. Aa chief of staff he served there for four months. "There arrived every day about two trainloaris of these French captives," recounted CPaln Labbo yesterday, "or from 1200 to 1300 dally. Forty per rent of these were children and their mothers. The rest were over 60 years of ase, broken In health, ona and all. There were no young- men or young women on those trains. "An hour before the captive trains left for France via Bwltserland, those selected were told that they were KOlni; home. Families were dismem bered brutally, and every tie of affec tion disregarded. The weak and the old and the little children were herded together for tho trip back to France, The vouns men and young women were carried off to Germany. Not ona of their friends or kin knows where they are or what they are doing, whethei they are alive or dead. And If they are dead, it may ba presumed that they are happiest. "We heard tha atorlea of these re turned French how the Germans forced them, during thoaa three and one-half years behind the Prussian lines, te till their fields and raise an abundance of food that they were not permitted to allay their own starva tion with. For the Germans comman deered all that was raised, and those who grew It could not dig so much as a single potato from their own fields. Asarrlraa Aid sevee Lives. "All said tha,t they would have starved had It not been for the Amer ican food and supplies which were sent to relieve them. In a way we ara aid ing Germany when wa minister in mercy to the unfortunate French and Belgians In conquered territory, for wo relieve her of the necessity for feeding them. Hut I feel certain that Germany would not acknowledge this necessity, and that she would callously permit them to starve. "I talked with one man who owned a herd of tl milch rows. For mora than three years all milk and cream from his dairy were taken by the German officers at headquarters at Nesle. No rhild In that little French town had milk, nor rould the farmer use ao much aa a gill for himself and his family. "Then the battle of the Homme neces sitated an evacuation b ytha Germans, and this man w-as ordered to go to the vlllaee and remain. When he went back to his farm the German retreat had passed. Not one of his herd remained, and every building of the little property had been blown up by the Prussians, lie showed me a thick atack of old rial receipts, which hsd been given him In payment for his three years' milk supply.

When these repatriated sons are re turned, one of tha first services that their government performs Is to give them French coin for the worthless flat currency Issued by the Germans.

Upon tho German retreat, he aald. tha homes had been stripped of everything of value and wrecked as a final expression of hate. "The work of the lied Cross In such districts." related Captain Lahbo. "is largely devoted to reconstruction, to the rebuilding of homes and the cul tivation, en masse, of tho fields. Great tractors with scrapers fill the trenchua, which are leveled off by German pris oners. The French took a great deul of joy In witnessing the justice of this last." Withfn the months that have elapsed since America entered the war, said Captain Labbe, the French morale haa risen perceptibly, largely through the mighty work of tho American lied Portlaad Phyalrlaa, Who Haa 4 Retnraed After ai Months' f service la Kraace With the American Red Cross.
