And it is tfie wreckage of men that is most distressing to those who see the war at close range. Houses can be rebuilt. The farms of the Oise and the Alsne ca„n be cleared. The fac­ tories at Chaunes can be re-- stored, or else raxe<Tand erected all over again ahd made modern. But what about wrecked men? In France I have heard an ironist say: "Yes, he was a hero for ten days and now he Is a decorated ruin; a cripple for life," Yet even "mutiles" can be patched up. They can be provided with a "Jambe Auiericaine" and an arm fixed with all sorts of joints and springs that make it practical. Last week, in the train to < N n, I sat next to one such mended hero; he showed me his arm with real pride, and explained that for the present he had work in the municipal markets of Paris; but that he hoped to get trans­ ferred to something more esthetic; he would pre­ fer to be a sort of subcurator in a picture gallery. "See, Monsieur, I can hold a fork like this--or I can grasp a glass; the thumb is exaggeratedly long; I have to get a special glove. ..." Yes, the mutiles' features can be molded into something like a human semblance, where it's the face that has suffered. But that is hardly enough. It is not enough to make the hero for ten days, the cripple for a lifetime, look like a man. He must be restored to real living--to a part in the world of industry. That Is for the sake of Belgium, or France, or Britain, or whatever his country may be; It is also for the man's own sake. ' I have just ha'd a talk with Miss Grace Harper, chief of the bureau of the re-education of mutiles at American Red Cross headquarters In Paris. >Sbe has shown me estimates that for every mil­ lion men placed In the field France counts on hav­ ing to care for 50,000 mutiles--5,000 of them a month. And this figure does not take account of the war-blinded and war-deafened and war-erased. "Please do net quote these figures-as our own," says the cautious chief. "They are the best esti­ mates we have been able to secure, but they are estimates. "France is working miracles In making over maimed men," Miss Harper goes on, "but even at the close of 1917 the work of reconstruction has not yet caught up with the destructive forces, len­ der the French system the wounded soldier passes ifrom a 'Post de Secours' to a base hospital, and thence to one of the eleven existing 'Centres de Physlotherapie." At that center he receives sur­ gical treatment, or physiotherapy, or both, physio­ therapy meaning electrical or mechanical massage. Here he receives also an artificial limb, and his industrial training is begun--to fit him for a new place in the social organism. " ' ' "The .French centers of physiotherapy are capa,- ble of receiving less than 25 per cent of the mu­ tiles. Happily the schools of re-education are able to take care of some of those mutiles who must, perforce, forego the physiotherapeutics. "I am talking to you In terms like these because the problem is such a big one, and because our own country, too, must reallae something of the .problem we are all up against, and the support that mast be given to the American Red Cross if we are either to be of much help to France or to ourselves in this business of making men out of war's wastage. But I want you to realize that the Red Cross did not come to France just to study. "I, for one, have been in Paris since March, 1917, and have visited practically every large center of re-educational work In France, and some of the small ones; not all, by any means, for nominally there are 108 of them. The Red Cross continues to study the new developments, the new demands In the field of re-education, for when the Ameri­ can army has its full share of casualties the Red Cross, whose first task is to back up that army, must benefit by French and British experience. But our real program for helping in France haft now advanced beyond the stage of study. UA superficial examination of our field shows this: The training already provided in France Is industrial training, or the preparation of dis* charged soldiers for such jobs as stenography. JWMGMG 3CYT/i£ M/TTf QVS GVQO/UZAf bookkeeping, school teaching, etc.--sit-down work. And yet it is a fact that from 65 to 75 per cent of the French mutiles nowadays were, before the war, farmers or farm laborers. Not all of these men should undertake, or are physically and rneta- tally fitted to undertake. Industrial or city jobs. Moreover, everyone knows that the first great world peace problem will be the challenge of a food shortage. Obviously, as many mutiles as pos­ sible--France'® today, America's tomorrow--must go back to the land. So It is the plan of the Amer­ ican Red Cross to help Franee in placing some of them there and, later on, to help America in the same way." I ventured to point out to Miss Harper that re­ ports show there are. 31 agricultural centers In operation in France, but Miss Harper was in­ clined to shake her head. She would not quarrel with my figures, but with the impression they ere* ated. "No doubt," she said, "but you must renfember that, judged by American standards, France is not yet in the forefront of scientific agriculture. French economists, whose minds are now more than ever busy with the facts of food production, are exclaiming at the sad trulh that Germany, with a less and Inferior farming area, should, be­ fore the war, have exceeded France in agricultural production. "These thirty-one agricultural centers of re-edu­ cation you speak of have opened their doors for mutiles, but they lack necessary equipment, «nd the canny mutile looks in and. too often, passes on. Small wonder, especially if you reflect upon his eagerness to get home, to be free of discipline that Is Irksome because it is (after three years and a half of war) still discipline. ! "France Is teaching her mutiles small trades, cob- tying, basket-making, tinsmithing, machine work, etc., but what the Red Cross wants above all to do is to co-operate in the agricultural movement. We who' are world-famous for our agricultural ma­ chinery must provide motor tractors and other me­ chanical equipment for the schools of re-education. Also, we must give expert Instruction in the rais­ ing of live stock, poultry, rabbits, bees. We must go in for training in horticulture. When the spring of 1918 has come, we should be in a position to show you our agriculture center in full blast, fill­ ing a part, at least, of the great need I have men­ tioned. And that farm of about 500 acres will be situated in one of the richest farming areas of France, very close to one of the great psychothera­ peutic centers. That 1s all I can very well tell you now. "Of course, that one farm will not solve the whole problem of the war mutile. At leasts it will at all times take care of 200 mutiles. It will have been leased for three years. Dairies, sheds, cow- barns, sheepcotes, pig-sties, a forge, machine shop, carpentry shop--all these things figure in our cal­ culations. By spring, work of construction and repair will have been accomplished, quarters for men put up and some of the work will have been contributed by the mutiles themselves. It Is not only more economical, It 1s better so. And they will get two francs a day wage--these mutiles; five francs a. dif when they are themselves In- atructors." /r0rMAflJ°£J?£D3yA#rJJ7C/AJ.AJ&13 I Miss Harper is a former student at the Univer­ sity of Chicago, who has been associated with the Children's Aid society and with a night club for boys and girls in Boston; who has taught book­ binding in Haverhill, Mass.; who has served with the Massachusetts Infant asylum--and who first came to deal with cripples in helping Dr. Richard Cabot organize the King's Chapel bureau for the handicapped at the Massachusetts General hos­ pital. There at Boston she set a group of cripples to work making children's clothes; their product was sold from coast to coast and at good prices. The work paid the workers commercially, as well as helping to restore their status as Independent, self-respecting and respected citizens. The chief of the bureau of re-education Is a woman, aid a feminine woman. I think It would seem to the antebellum American mildly diverting If he could cast his eye over the list of equipment for the Red Cross farm of re-education which, at this point, of our talk. Miss Grace Harper permit­ ted me to see: tractors! plows! harrows! extir­ pators and Canadians (whatever "Canadians" are --she told me--but I don't remember); rollers, drills, manure distributors, horse hose, mowing machinery--and I don't know how many machines more--6 horses, 15 cows, 1 bull. 100 sheep, 20 pigs, 15 chicken pens (comprising 1 rooster and 8 hens each), 6 incubators (210 eggs each), etc. "Under war conditions," Miss Harper resumed, "some mutiles are promptly In a position to earn good wages In munition works at wages which they will find It hard to equal once normal condi­ tions are restored by the return to peace. We must, therefore, walk rather carefully, if we are interested in. the return to peace conditions, and Is what happens to the mutiles in the readjust­ ment What interests us ts that 65 per cent of farm laborers included in the list of mutiles--and we must reach them, or at least some of them, promptly. We must get these men started on the road that leads to the land while they are still under psycotherapeutic or surgical care. For that reason, if for no other, the Red Cross must com­ bine Its agricultural re-education with Its surgical enterprises. This training for the future must be­ gin during convalescence---that Is, before discharge from the army is granted. "Do not think that the American Red Cross, in its plan for specializing upon agricultural re-edu­ cation, disparages or undervalues the fine work of the re-educational institutions which have preced­ ed it In the field. But it cannot overlook the fact that France is an agricultural nation and that, after the war, almost all the world will, for a time, be somewhere near the edge of hunger. Did you see this last evening's Evenement?" concluded Miss Harper, handing me a clipping. I had not, but I read it. "The commission charged to study for the radi­ cal party congress the economic reorganisation of France has adopted the following conclusions," the article begins. "It ts by agriculture that France can, and must renew itself, for this is the base and source of life. "Too much encouragement cannot be given to agricultural production. . . . Henceforth the ut­ most possible quantity of labor should be provided to agriculture by the mobilisation on the land of the older military classes and of agricultural spe­ cialists. . . "The state Should encourage the construction and use of agricultural machinery--especially trac­ tors. . . Scientific agricultural stations should be created in the principal .regions of France, linking the one. to the other by means of a central station at Paris." "That Is a politician's document, and you have net read all of it," concluded Miss Harper, as she look back the.newspaper clipping; "but the prin­ ciple tys there, and It is Justly enough expressed. Here 1ST another newspaper article. Edmond Thery, writing in Le Matin of Paris, concludes an article on 'Our Agricultural Production' with the words: " 'The indispensable agricultural policy for n$ to pursue from now on has been perfectly defined by the order of the day unanimously voted by the chamber of deputies at its sitting of October 11, and it can be summed up in two clauses: mobiliza­ tion of agricultural labor, mobilization of chemical fertilizers.'" "So you see,* concludes the chief of the bureau for the re-education of mutiles, "that the Ameri­ can Red Cross, in seeking to give France more skilled agriculturists,, through Its scientific and mechanical instruction of mutile farmers and farm laborers. Is only undertaking to express practically what French deputies and French economists de­ clare to be a vital necessity for France, and there­ fore for France's warmest friend In all the world." Ingenious French Invention One of the best defenses against the attack of modern infantry has proved to be wire entanglements, thousands of miles of which guard the fronts of opposing armies In the present war, observes a trench correspondent. Whenever- a good defense is found, however, the human brain sets tp work to find some means of overcoming it. " ' r. . - •Jf, So well made and so-intricate have been the entanglements that the high­ est explosives have sometimes failed to clear a way, and the French have hit on an invention. This is a gun which flres a special heavy four-bladed knife. The knife revolves rapidly when fired, and cuts a way through the strongest entanglements, so opening a way for a bayonet charge. It has the great advantage over all other meth­ ods that It does not Involve any risk to the soldiers, who formerly had to place the explosive bombs beneath the wire, with every chance of being shot while doing so. Companionship. In regard to human companionships, there are two words to say. We need the communion of men. but there are times when it is best for ns to be alone. Joy cries out to be Shared; but sometimes between ourselves and full appreciation alike of beauty and of fellowship lies the need of being alone. The motrd of solitude, then. Is in order to the enjoyment of compan­ ionship. It prepares our hearers for genial hours of shared delight. Per­ haps the rarest and most precious ex­ perience is that in which friends or lovers understand each other so com' pletely that they can share this need-, ful mood of solitude with an unspoken sympathy. Chicago.--Some of., tlpe - fanners would like to know more about the high school boys enlisted in the boys' working reserve with an idea of help­ ing plant and get out the crops this summer. Charles Adkins, director of agriculture for the state of Illinois; Frank I. Mann of the State Farmers' institute, and J. W. Kirkton, president of the Illinois Agricultural associa- fqrmed the committee that accepted the -Invitation of Murridge D. Bilker, federal director of the boys' working reserve of Illinois, to visit the Chi­ cago high school and report just what training the boys were receiving. "We found a fine looking lot of boys," re­ ports Mr. Adkins, "no cigarette-smok­ ing d tides, but physically just about the type that are raised in the farm­ ing districts. Nearly half of them have had some experience of farm la­ bor. At the High schools we visited they are having regular lessons in farm craft.' We saw one group of boys learning how to manage a trac­ tor, oil It uiv, find out trouble ;anot Iter ^roup was hnrnessing and driving; an* otht'r managing a three-horse harrow and so on. This is practical work, and It Is to be continued until May 1, when the boys will be ready to take a job." Farmers who want to regis­ ter for boy labor ifiay do so through local bankers or by applying directly to Boys' Working reserve, Chicago. These boys are between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. Chicago.--Attorney Francis J. Henev charges that the packers co-operated to get all the money possible for the meat they sold fh* government on army contractu, as the government had to have the meat at any price. He also read letters purporting to show that W. F. Prtebe of the national food administration, through Harry A. Wheeler and Horace C. Gardner of the Illinois administration, permitted pack­ ers to transfer poultry from store­ houses to branch houses, where they might hold It for higher prices, and at the same time compelled the little fellows to throw their produce on a forced market. Springfield.--No one Is hungry in Illinois, according to a report issued by State Food Administrator Harry Wheeler received here. Supplies as a jvvhole are overabundant, he declares. Surveys made by the food administra­ tion reveal great quantities of pota­ toes unmarketed, the report states. "Our present problem is to distribute equitably the products in which there Is a shortage and to attempt to Induce people to eat products which are in greater abundance and Just as palat- nble," the report declares. Chicago.--Packers handle and con­ trol 75 per cent of the cheese business in Wisconsin, the nation's principal source of supply, according to Henry Krnmrey, Plymouth.

Chicago.--The February grand jury at Chicago In its final report returned before Chief Justice Kersten, recom­ mends the repeal of the indeterminate sentence law. that a definite sentence be imposed in any crime where a re­ volver is used, that the law regarding concealed weapons be made more dras­ tic and that judges .take Into consider­ ation when they are sentencing a criminal the offenses he has commit­ ted In another state. Camp Funston. Ivan,--Illinois sol­ diers here are not In danger of spinal meningitis and pneumonia.

Jollet.--Governor Lowden and Fred JC. Sterling of the state utilities have been Invited to attend the spring meet­ ing of the Illinois Daily Newspaper Publishers' association whlch wlH be held U&* March 19 to 20. Springfield.--Corn Is the foremost crop of Illinois. A shortage of seed which would prevent the planting of the usual acreage would be a calamity to the state and a serious injury to the nation. The initial seed 'corn sur­ vey of Illinois, just completed by the food, fuel and conservation committee of the state council of defense, reveals a shortage so great that Unless an un­ usual effort is made, one-third of the normal corn acreage in Illinois will have to be abandoned or planted to other crops. It is the most serious problem Illinois' agriculture has- ever faced. Tlw< big seed corn houses in Illinois, which select their seed from the field and dry the corn in ventilated and, heated seed houses, have not enough seed corn left, unsold, to plant one corn belt county. In ordinary years their sales are jto§t n&egfaning at this date. ... * Chicago.--Coal mines tij Illinois will keep going air Summer,' ff members of the fuel administration are able, to carry their plans into effect. , "The great need just at ptfe^ent Us tci pre­ vent the customary, shutdown of mines," said Jbhn E. Williams. "We want production to go on steadily. We must induce consumers to make their purchases ahead* instead of waiting until the last minute. This may in­ volve the storage of large amount of coal, but that will have to be ar­ ranged for If we are to avoid trouble next season.** The' fuel administra­ tion is making preparations for a siir- Vey of the needs of Illinois homes and industries. When this Information is at hand the mines will be called upon to furnish the amount of coal that will be needed next season. The coal will be moved as early as possible. Chicago.--The flour committee of the food administration at its meet­ ing here practically agreed on a plan which Is expected to bring relief from the flour shortage. The committee will determine the amount each dis­ tributor handles in normal times and will estimate the amount of flour that will come to Chicago during the next few months. The amount each dis­ tributor Is to handle will be arranged In proportion, so that all will be fair­ ly treated. All distributors have agreed to accept this allotment. The situation with reference to flour is de­ clared to be-much better in other parts of Illinois than it is in Chicago. The arrival of 4.000,000 pound* of western sugar Is believed to mark the end of the shortage of tliat product in Chi­ cago. Dahville.--While a few years ago the call was for young and hnsky farm hands, the elderly men, preferably married and above forty, are now in demand and command a premium. Men over the draft age demand and receive from $5 to $10 per month more than younger men, who may be taken for military service. Men skilled in handling hogs, with special courses in agriculture H>r steck raising nnd who by reason thereof are In a position to Increase crops for their employers are commanding wages heretofore un­ heard of on the farm. Springfield.--There Js all kinds of trouble at Harrishurg, Saline county, and Herrln, Williamson county, owing to the Ignorance of the foreign-born population of the two cities regarding vaccination.

Chicago.--"The longer we continue to delay, the greater the danger is that we will face starvation. The peo­ ple of the United States must raise at least SawtWW) more food than they did last year, and four times as much as the year before. In their gardens. If we are to be entirely safe." That was the declaration of Harry A. Wheeler, state food administrator, to representatives of various civic and social organizations who gathered at the headquarters of the state council of defense to plan for carrying out efficiency the gardening movement in Chicago and Illinois this spring. Springfield.--Action was commenced by state mine inspectors against the managements at the Citizens' coal mine in this city and the Royal Col- leries company at Vlrden, for violation of the state mining laws. The suit is brought under Instructions from the state mining department as the result of Investigations following explosions which killed four men in each mine.
