WORK WA8 NEEDED
JoMphHte county la doing splen
didly In Its Red Croea work. A
. thorough, repreeentatlTe organtu
; tloa behind a cauae that Is just,
bringa a response that la eminently
satisfactory.
Erery man, .woman or child who
t kas giTen to this work may have the
, eoneciouanesa of hartuc aided In one
of the greatest humanitarian efforts
1 of all history. The stories that are
being brought back to our shores
from the war-stricken fields of
. Europe are appalling.
Herbert Hoover, In speaking of
the section of France from which the
Germans had been driven or had re
treated, tells of the opening up of a
vision of what has happened to sev
eral million of people In northern
France and Belgium.
Every village had been complete
ly destroyed with the exception of
two small clusters of houses. The
Germans had battered down houses
with specially constructed battering
rams; they had razed orchards; sup
plies of building materials had been
burned, all agricultural implements
had been burned or taken away, all
the live stock had been slaughtered
or driven away, and, practically all
the male population between 18 and
65 years of age had been driven Into
an industrial slavery, forced to make
war supplies for their captors to he
used against (heir relatives in the
French armies.
This means that where once was
one of the most productive agricul
tural sections of the world, all Is now
a waste. And the people who will
finally return to the wrecks of their
former homes will be unable to start
a renewal of their former produc
tiveness without help to get them
back into step with the world.
That is but one of the problems of
France. That Is but a sample of
what we have to expect from practic
ally the entire area. The cost of
rehabilitation runs into figures
that should startle all except Am
ericans, and perhaps Americans even
In the lsrge figures In which we
have begun to think.- I made a
rough estimate of the Immediate
amount of money required to re
habilitate that little parcel of popu
lation, and that In Itself, to support
them for one year, to provide them
with their Implements, to give them
the roughest kind of housing, to get
them back to the point where they
, may get the land Into cultivation
and get Into self-support would run
somewhere from seven to ten mil
lions of dollars. Although the north
of France la probably faced with a
total expenditure for rehabilitation
- which will run a billion and a half
of dollars.

the officer, half asleep. 'No sir.' 'No

'Well then.', said the officer. 'Swank

back to the trench. We swanked

MAKE ANOTHER HAUL
Chicago, June 21. Two masked
bandits late Tuesday night held up
and bound two Adams Express com
pany messengers, opened the safe
and escaped with between $25,000
and $30,000 In currency, jewelry and
diamonds.
Ward R. Smiley and A. R. An
drews, the messengers, are being
held by the police.
' The train on which the robbery
took place was on the way from the
yards at Sixteenth and Canal streets
to the station to take on passengers
and baggage when the robbers ap
peared. They escaped by setting the
air and slowing it down Just before
the station was reached.

Petrograd, June 21. The all-Riis-sian

The vote indicates that even the
Petrograd council, which has hereto

won over to a strenuous war program.

coyote which persists In taking
sheep, goats and turkeys from 'the
