A "statistical division," with a staff of officers and a corps of stenographers, gives all its time to the maintenance of files of soldiers' names and addresses. This division notifies relatives. Have Roster Copy A copy of the roster of each con- tingent sailing to join the Expedi- tionary Forces is filed in card index fashion, each card bearing the name of the soldier, his organization, and the name and address of parent or other relative or friend designated by him to be notified in emergency. When a casualty list is received from General Pershing each name cabled from the American Expeditionary Force 1s listed with the emergency address on file in the card index. As rapidly as the new list with emer- gency addresses is built up the tele- graph clerks get duplicates. These] clerks already are supplied with] blank telegrams which require only the relative's address, name of sen- der, nature, of casualty and the date, get the telegrams off as quickly as possible. In addition to maintaining the telegraph blanks for the sake of speed the statistical division is supplied with sets of form letters to be filled in and mailed when further details are available. Word Sometimes Delayed While relatives are generally in re- ceipt of information within 24 hours after the cables are received, delays are sometimes due to clerical errors caused by the fact that names must pass through many hands in France and in America, incorrect | emergency addresses turned in by soldiers, removal of families to ad- dresses other than those listed, and the occasional necessity for cabling back to General Pershing to verify a name or to obtain an address. Aside from these four causes of delay the only reason for the failure of relatives to receive word at once is military consideration. General Pershing may, at his discretion, with- hold a casualty list until he is posi- tive it will have no military value to the enemy. RECTOR STEWART TO SAIL EARLY IN JULY Dr. George Craig Stewart, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church, Evanston, which counts many north shore residents as communicants, last week received his orders from the American Red Cross to report in New York for sailing the first week in July. He will go as a commsion- ed officer, his rank to be assigned after arrival in Paris. He believes he will be attached to the staff of Major McCormick, bishop of Western Michigan, who is in charge of all Red Cross chaplains and who is a fellow member with Dr. Stewart of the war commssion of the Episcopal church. As the war commission meets in New York on June 25 and 26, Dr. Stewart plans to leave Evanston on the 24 to attend this meeting. The days remaining between then and embarkation will be spent in securing the necessary equipment so that he will not retturn to Evanston. He will officiate at the services in St. Luke's church on June 23. The serv- ices on June 30 will be in charge of Bishop Griswold. The assistant, Reverend Frederick C. Grant, returns on July 1.

Farmers Boost Loan Next to the aggregate number of subscribers, perhaps the most strik- ing feature of the third Liberty loan was the support given it by the farming and rural populations of the country, according to a statement by the Treasury Department. Not only; did the farmers purchase liberally of the bonds, but the rural com- munties as a rule were more prompt in completing their quotas of the loan than the larger cities. More than 20,000 communities in the United States subscribed or oversubscribed their quotas, many of them on the first day of the campaign. The majo- rity of these were not cities, but country districts. Tangelo, New Fruit, Produced A new type of fruit, which has been named tangelo, has been produced by the Bureau of Plant Industry through a cross between the tangerine orange and the grapefruit, or pomelo. As a class the tangelo resemble round oranges more than either of their parents and are exceedingly variable. | Two well-recognized varieties have been thoroughly tested and have been distributed to co-operators for further trial. The tangelo has little acidity and resembles a tender and good-flavored orange more than a grapefruit or tangerine.

This training is now in progress on an extensive scale, but considerable interference has been met with in the work on account of the shooting of the birds being train- ed for service. Many persons have thus impaired the service of homing pigeons, being innocent of the fact that these birds were being trained for the army. | | el | recently passed by | was | it urilawiul it unlawiu | making to "knowin kill, possess or in Antwerp or | entrap, shoot, n an way detz letters a serial number." / of $100 fine or impriso viction under this law.
