Many of these narratives have been brought by men and women who, under the aus­ pices of the American Red Cross, have been inves­ tigating conditions created by the invasion of the Han. The range of vision of these investigators extends from the battle front to the cottage hun­ dreds of miles away where war's misery--more in­ sidious than bombs ori the fighting front--has pene­ trated. Woven together these accounts make a composite story of devastation and suffering on the part of noncombatants comparable with- the torture en­ dured by the soldiers in the trenches; of refugees staring blankly at cratered areas where villages once flourished; of thousands of children, too~ young to understand, crying for mothers who can­ not hear their cries; of children poisoned by gas bombs thrown from German mortars; of emaciated children sent by hundreds from behiqd the German Uue; of crippled soldiers to re-educate and of civilian men and women to comfort and provide ; with the'necessaries of life--a story of battling against disease and of the heroism of mercy. . Sometimes the cable supplements tales told by returned travelers. A day or two ago, the war council of the American Red Cross received a cable- • gram from the Paris headquarters of that organisa­ tion containing a, simple statement of every-day occurrence on the French frontier, yet graphic in Its portrayal of one phase of war's {rightfulness. It read: ^ | The Red Cross at Evian. | "There arrived last week at Evian, where the • t^atries from France and Belgium are received back Into France, a train loaded with Belgian chil­ dren. There were 680 of them, thin, sickly, alone, all between ages of four and twelve, children of men who refused to work for the Germans and of iinothers who let their children go rather than let them starve. They poured off the train: little ones clinging to the oldest ones, girls all crying, boys trying to cheer. They had come all the long Way alone. On the platform were the Red Cross work­ ers to meet them, doctors and nurses with ambu­ lances for the little sick ones were waiting cut- side the station. The children poured out of the station, marched along the street shouting. "Meat, meat; we are going to have meat," to the Casino, where they were given a square meal, the first in [many months. Again and again, while they ate, Ithey broke spontaneously into songs In French iagainst the German songs which they had evidently ilearned in secret. The Red Cross doctor examined them. Their little clawlike hands were significant their undernourished bodies, but the doctor said: |uWe have them in time. A few weeks of proper 'feeding and they will pull up." Evian is a French resort on Lake Geneva, and •very day one thousand homeless people arrive there, 60 per cent of whom are children. Thirty per cent of the older people die the first month from exhaustion. They were once the occupants of happy homes in northern France. The Huns' invaded their country, swept on. past their homes and left them behind the enemy's line. The Invaders, now their masters, Impressed them into labor and transported thousands o# them to work In German •fields and factories. Those who are returned by the thousand daily by train through Switzerland are all that are left of these men and women and children--manhood and womanhood sapped until the vital spark is almost out and, no longer of use as German captives, sent back to die or to be cared for in their helpless condition by their own ipeople»from whom they had been ruthlessly taken iaway in their health and strength. Hope for Kaiser's Victims. ^ Thanks to the American Red cross, coming to »' tbt assistance of the overburdened French agen­ cies for mercy, there fl hope for these unfortun­ ates. Besides a hospital and convalescent home for children at Evian, the Red Cross is operating an ambulauce service for the returning repatries. Ten automobiles are in commission for handling sick and infirm persons, and a tuberculosis hos­ pital near by is planned. When the returning re­ patries reach the railroad station and have been cheeringly greeted by crowds of compatriots, they are taken in charge by Red Cross workers. Nour­ ishment Is provided and medical attention be- •8towed. Baths are made available and fresh cloth­ ing is supplied. According to American eye wit­ nesses of scenes at the railway station at Evian, ;there are men in the ranks who have suffered ibroken arms, the bones of which have been set by tile Germans so that the hand is turned the wrong way. They present a horrible deformity, denoting a form of cruelty which excused itself on the {ground that the man, should he ever regain his former strength, will be iunfit for military duty. In many of these cases American Red Cross doc­ tor^ have been put to the doubly painful task of again breaking the arm and resetting It, so as to remove the temble deformity purposely in­ flicted. William Allen White of Kansas and Henry J. Al- . den, who is prominent in the public life of the same stdte, are 'among tlffe Red Cross workers .who recently have returned from tours of inspec­ tion in France. According to their statements it Is scarcely possible to exaggerate the suffering brought upon the civilian population of the coun­ try; a suffering, however, that is being alleviated to the greatest possible extent by the American Bed Cross, which is sending Its experts, Its army of volunteers and Its treasure without stint. Ac­ cording to Mr. White, th« real work of the war, so far as America is concerned, will be carried on by Red Cross In France this winter. Not only Seward, Alaska.--Carrying rallrobd ties on one shoulder over an eight-Inch footlog across a canyon 30 feet wide, with 150 feet of vacant space between the log and a rock-torn mountain torrent at the dark bottom sounds like the ^nectacuiar stunt of a clrctis performer, but in point of fact it is the daily practice of Edward Martin, a tierhopper who lives at Crow Creek Pass on the Government.'* new railroad. Martin has a permit from tlfe forest service to use timber on the no^th side s&c£yyssy(?/Z£D IS it planned to deal with all the acute suffering, such as is summarized above, and to reconstruct many villages in the devastated war zone so as" to give the refugees a fresh start In life and pre­ pare the way for again cultivating the soil, byt it is the purpose to apply the American system of "Home Service" on a scale so grand that it is bound to have a heartening effect on the whole French military organization, for the French sol­ diers fight better when they know their loved ones are being cared for. „ In furtherance of this great schem^ designed to"1 bring comfort and cheer in the fanffly of every French soldier that is needy. General Pershing,. General Petain, commander in chief of the French forces, and MaJ. Gen. M. P. Murphy, American Red Cross commissioner, have formed themselves into a committee of co-operation. Company officers will go through their ranks and ascertain from each soldier whether he has any worry on his mind concerning sickness or want at home. Reports will be made to headquarters weekly and not a single case will be overlooked In the relief v.*ork thut Is to be guided by the addresses of families listed. Special attention will be given to the treat­ ment and prevention of tuberculosis, which has as­ sumed proportions almost as deadly as the infernal machinery of war itself.» Food and clothing will be supplied when necessary and the spirit and .courage of the previously depressed soldier in the trenches will be enlivened by the news that his family is having its wants attended to. "The great struggle of the winter will be the economic struggle." said Mr. White. "The Red Cross practically will fight the American fight un­ til our boys take their places on the firing line qext spring. It should be kept in mind that every French soldier who is saved this winter means the 7U0ERCI/LOS/S Y/CrJSf saving erf an American boy • when the big drive begins a few months hence." Lu D. Wlshard of California, a schoolmate of , President - Wilson, well known for his interest in Y. M. C. A. work as well as that of the Ameri­ can Red Cross, is another re­ cently returned observer from France. He brought a doubly interesting story. First, the nwfulness of many conditions existing; and, secondly, tile great work the Red Cross is doing and the much greater work it is preparing to do to meet all the conditions scien­ tifically and energetically. Mr. Wlshard expressed the same view as William Allen White regarding the importance of giving primary attention to th< economic side of the equation during the winter months. He quoted General Pershing as saying that the greatest thing that the Red Cross can do at present to insure victory is to stand by the fam­ ilies of French soldiers. Gas Bombs Poison 8otl. An interesting fact dwelt upon by Mr. Wlshard •during a visit to Washington was that of the pois­ oning of the'soil in agricultural regions by the > gases spread over the country by the Germans. It Is stated that this gas has worked Its insidious way deep into the ground, so that unless heroic means are discovered and applied it'will be Jears and years before the land Is fit for eultiyatlon of any sort. The devastation, he says, is beyond anything In the history of the world, with shell craters so 'thick that plowing of once fertile fields Is abso­ lutely Impossible. Yet in this hopelessly devasta- -ted region the Red Cross hus set to work to repair Borne villages and to restore certain agricultural Communities,, not alone for the humanity directly Involved with respect to the people who will thus * have shelter and means to go to work, but as an example to the thousands of others and an inspi­ ration to them to start in and begin life anew. The hopelessness of It all might seem complete from a s|ngle instance cited by Mr. Wlshard--that of a man who had owned a mill in a village near Ver­ dun, who told him that when he went to look fo the spot on#which It stood he had to take a survey­ or along to locate it. It Is into the hopelessness of hundreds of situa­ tions akin to this that the American Red Cross is advancing with its banner of mercy and its bugle blast of inspiration. So help the Red Cross! rrr r r r>r r s s s t s a A Bomb Raid by Shell-Light The picture of a night attack executed by the English on a German trench In France Is drawn In the Cornhill Magazine by Boyd Cable: "The hour chosen for the raid was just about dusk. There was no extra'-special preparation immediately before it. The guns continued to pour In their fire, speeding .it up a little, perhaps, but no more than they had done a score of times in the last 24 hours. The infantry clambered out of their trench and tiled gut through the narrow openings in their own wire entanglements. 4*Out in- front a faint whistle cut across the roar of fire. 'They're off,' said the forward officer Into his 'phone, and a moment later a distinct change In the note of sound of the overhead shells told that the fire had lifted, that the shells were pass- "Up and down the selected area of front line trench the raiders spread rapidly. There were several dugouts under the parapet, and from some of them gray-coated figures crawled with their hnnds up on the first summous to surrender. These, too, were bundled over the parapet. If a shot came from the black mouth of the dugout In answer to the ca-il to surrender, It was prompt­ ly bombed. At either end of th^ area of front line marked out as the limits of the raid strong parties made a block and beat off the feeble at­ tacks that were, made on them." NEW WRITING IMPLEMENT. A writing Implement composed of a mixture of wax and finely ground pumice stone contain­ ing particles of ink has been Invented by William G. Geer of Akron, O., to take the place of ordinary and fountain pens, pencils, crayons and all other writing implements, says the Popular Science ing higher above his head, to fall farther back In Monthly. As the body of the new writing device the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch Into which the infantry would soon be pushing. "For a minute or two there was no change in the sound of battle. The thunder of the guns continued steadily, a burst of -rifle or machine gun fire crackled as spasmodically. * "Men gulped in their throats or drew long breaths of apprehension that this was the begin­ ning of discovery of their presence in the open, the first of the storm they knew would quickly follow. But there were no more shells for the moment, and the rattle of machine gun fire di­ minished and the bullets piped thinner and more distant as the gun muzzle swept around. The in­ fantry hurried on, -thankful for every yard made is safety. "But at the attacking point the Infantry were almost across when the storm burst, and the shells for the most part struck down harmlessly behind them. The men were into the fragments of broken wire, and the shattered parapet loomed up under their hands a minute after the first shell burst. Up to this they had advanced In silence, but now they gave tongue and with wild' yells leaped qt the low parapet, scrambled over and ; down into the trench. Behind them a few formf twisted and sprawled on the broken ground, but they were no sooner down than running stretch -r bearers pounced on them, lifted and bore them hack to the shelter of their own lines. "In the German trench the raiders worked and fought at desperate speed, but smoothly and on what was clearly a settled and rehearsed plat^. There were few Germans to l»e seen, and most oil these crouched dazed and helpless, with hands over, their heads. They were promptly seized, bundled over the parapet, and told by word or jgeSture to be'off They waited for no second bid­ ding, but ran with heads stooped and hands above their heads straight to the British line, one or_ two men doubling after them as guards.

There Is a very pompous artist In New York who used to have a sense of humor. His quips were known everywhere. Now, however, since he has gained considerable vogue, he Is taking himself and his work very seriously. Owen Johnson, the novelist, saw him in a res­ taurant the other night, sitting solemnly alone. "Too bad," he said, real pltjr and tenderness in his voifce. "Poor Arthur! He has severed his jocuiftr vein." liB HIS POINT OF VIEW. "Mike,1 didn't you tell me once you have a brother who is -a bishop?" asked the contractor. "Yes, sor, I did that." "And here you are a hod carrier.

C«rrles Ties Across a Canyon Thirty Feet Wide. of Devil's Gulch to make ties for the railroad, but the railroad requires that the ties be delivered on the right of way, and to do this the gulch must be crossed. For this purpose Martin felled a small spruce tree from brim to brim, and when he finishes a tie shoul­ ders It and packs It over. A party of hunters appearing upon the scene a few days since, and not daring to attempt the frail crossing themselves, asked Martin why in "the name of all possessed" he did not* fell a safe footlog across the stream, and not risk his life in so reckless a man­ ner. To which the tie-cutter replied that for his purpose an eight-Inch log' was as good as an eight-foot log, and besides, the fact that the thing in­ volved an element of risk or danger never occurred to him or he might have felled a larger tree to bridge the canyon. Should Martin lose his .bal­ ance In crossing and fall he would In­ evitably be killed by striking the rocks or be swept away to death by the rush­ ing water in the dark chasm far bo>> Jow. STOLEN WATCH SAVES ROBBER FROM DEATH Kansas City, K^n.--A watch stolen a few minutes before, probably saved the life of George Strlckley, who was ar­ rested charged with the theft. Strickley was foond by a passer­ by hiding behind the counter, of a store. The police were notified and two detectives hurried to the scene. The robber pulled a gun and ordered the detectives not to come any closer. They fired at him, and the bullet from the gun of one of the detectives struck the stolen watch. Its course was deflected and only seared the body of the robber. KNITTING NEEDLE FOR FLIRT New York Woman Jabs Masher In the Neck and He Takes to His Heela. New York.--A knitting needle that Mrs. C. Bostwick of Whaley Lake, near Cold Spring, carried with her proved handy, she reported, in routing a masher who attacked her near War­ wick. While she was returning from a visit to the home of her sister, Miss Anna Hayner, a man about forty years old stopped her as she was hurrying to get a train. She tried to brush him aside, but he grabbed her arm and began squeezing it. Slaps she gave him had little ef­ fect, but finally she got a long needle out of her knitting bag and gave him a jab in the neck. The flirt capitu­ lated and fled. AGRICULTURE THE STAY OF THE NATION fife United States and Canada Have a Great Responsibility. This Is the day when the farmer has his innings. The time was when he Was dubbed 'the "farmer," the "mossback," and In a tone that could never have been called derisive, but still there was in it the inflection that he was occupying an inferior position. The stiff upper lip that the farmer car­ ried, warded off any reproach that his occupation was a degrading one. His hour arri\fed, though, and for some years past he has been looked up to as occupying a high position. Agriculture, by a natural trend of economic conditions, stands out today in' strong relief, as the leader in the world's pursui ts. Never in the nation's history have the eyes of the world been so universally focused on the farm. The farmer is the man of im­ portance ; the manufacturer of its most necessary product, and he now enjoys the dual satisfaction of reaping a max­ imum oT profit, as a result of his opera­ tions, while he also becomes a strong factor in molding the world's destinies. Manufacturers, business men pro­ fessional men and bankers realize the importance of agriculture, and gladly acknowledge it as the twin sister to commerce.

The time was coming when this would have been brought about automatically, but war time conditions urged It forward, while the farmer was able to secure land at rea­ sonable prices. Throughout several, of the Western states this condition ex­ ists, as also in Western Canada. Never has such a condition been known In commercial life. It Is truly an opportunity of a lifetime. Large and small manufacturing concerns and practically every other line of busi­ ness have been limited In their profits to the point of almost heroic sacrifice, while |t is possible today to reap divi­ dends In farming unequuled In any other line. Thirty, and as h\gh as fifty bushels of wheat per acre at $2.20 per bushel and all other farm produce on a simi­ lar basis, grown and produced on land available at from $15 to $40 per acre, represents a return of profit despite higher cost of labor and machinery, that, In many cases runs even higher than 100% of an annual return on the amount Invested. Such' Is the present day condition in Western Canada. How long it will last, no one can foretell. Prices for farm produce will likely re­ main high for many years. Certainly, the low prices of past years will not come again In this generation. The lands referred to, are low In price at present, but they will certainly In­ crease to their naturally productive value as soon gp the demand for them necessitates this Increase, and this day is not far distant. This demand Is growing dally; the farmer now on the ground Is adding to his holdings while prices are low; the agriculturist on high priced lands Is realizing that he is not getting all the profit that his neighbor in "Western Canada Is secur­ ing; the tenant farmer is seeking a home of his own, which he can buy on what he was paying out for rent, and many are forsaking the crowded cities to grasp these unprecedented op­ portunities. The tenant farmer, and the owner of high priced land, is now awakening to the realization that he is not get­ ting the return for his labor and In­ vestment that it.is possible to secure in Western Canada. Thousands are mak­ ing trips of inspection to personally In­ vestigate conditions and to acquaint themselves with the broadening bene­ fits derived by visiting Western Can­ ada. Such trips awaken In a progres­ sive man that natural desire to do bigger things, to accomplish as much as his neighbor, and frequently result In convincing and satisfying him that God's most fertile outdoors, with a big supply of nature's best climatic and health-giving conditions lies In West­ ern Canada. The days of pioneering are over; the seeker after a new home travels througfl all parts of the country on the same good rallwny trains as he has been accustomed to at home, but on which he has been accorded a special railway ijate of about one cent a mile. He finds good roads for automobiling and other traffic; rural telephone lines owned by the provincial governments; rural schools and churches situated conveniently to all; well appointed and homelike building^, and everywhere an Indication of general prosperity; cities arftl towns with all modern improve­ ments, and what Is the most convinc­ ing factor In his decision, a satisfied and prosperous people, with a whole hearted welcome to that country of a larger life ppd greater opportunities. To Western Canada belongs the dis­ tinguished honor of being the holder of all world's championships in wheat and oats for both quality and quantity. For many years in succession Western Canada has proven her claim for su­ premacy in the most keenly contested National exhibitions and to her is cred­ ited the largest wheat nnd oat yields America has known. The natural con­ ditions peculiar to Western Canada and so adaptable to grain growing, has been an Insurmountable barrier for her competitors to overcome. In the hist few years the yields of wheat and oats per acre have surprised the agri­ cultural world. As much as sixty bush­ els of wheat per acre has been grown on some farms, while others have fur­ nished affidavits showing over fifty bushels of wheat per acre, and oats ns high «s one hundred and twenty bush­ els per acre. One reputable fanner makes affidavit to a crop return of Over fifty-four thousand bushels of wheat! from a thousand acres. While this Is ' rather the exception than the rale, these yields serve to illustrate the fer- ! BOSCH EE'S GERMAN SYRUP !
