REfrCROSS BUREAU TO SEND NEWS TO FOLKS AT HOME GATHERING INFORMATION THROUGH PARIS OFFICE things than those to which the labor and material were formerly-devoted. Business as usual cannot continue, because business ns- usual means spending as usual, which means pro duction as usual. Now , w e caunot make all the things w e commonly made and consumed as a nation nor can w e buy all the things which w e commonly have bought as a nation, because we cannot fight the war with that sort of thing. It must be fought with\ guns and uniforms am] by merr| who previously devoted their time and annMnr tf* a truant mnnv /itliap thin™''' Details of Casualties at the Front Given to •Soldiers' Relatives. To give relatives of American sol diers details of casualties at the front the American Red Cross has organized at national headquarters a Bureau of Communication, of which William R. Castle, Jr„ formerly Assistant Dean of Harvard College and editor nf the Harvard Graduates' Magazine, Is di rector. This Bureau supplements in a personal and humanitarian way the reports of the Statistical Division of the Wa r Department, which gives to relatives official notice when a soldier la reported killed, wounded or missing. The anxiety which naturally results from the official report to relatives , that a soldier has been \wounded\ or Is \missing\ will as far as possible be dispelled by the Burean, which will advise In detail the nature and extent of the wound, and will gather evidence from comrades In arms and at the hos pitals and rest camps regarding those reported \missing.\ Central Office In Paris. Any Information of Interest or con solation to relatives thus, obtained will , be transmitted to them through per sonal letters. Messages from the wounded will be conveyed through this same agency. The Information on which the Bu reau will base its reports Is gathered through a central office In Paris, under the direction o f E. Gerry Chadwlck of Ne w York, aided by the Rev Robert Davis of Englewood, N. J., and thirty assistants. With the increase of the American forces and participation in the war, this number will have to be greatly Increased. For the present the Bureau Is re porting on all cases that coma to Its attention. However, It Is probable that with the Increase of reports from the front. Information' will be sent only to relatives requesting It, except In cases o f those Imprisoned or re ported \missing.\ Food for Prisoners. There Is a Red Cross service In Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Austria. In the London office of the British Re d Cross more than two hundred women are constantly em ployed In communicating with rela tives of soldiers and ttrelr card Index already covers more than three mil lion cases reported on. The Bureau will receive through the International Re d Cross office at Geneva, Switzerland, the list of Amer ican prisoners supplied officially by the German government. In cases of Imprisonment the Bureau reports to relatives, after which the case Is re ferred to the Red Cross Bureau of American Prisoners' Relief, o f which Franklin Abbot Is director The American Red Cross Commit tee In Berne sends each American prisoner, every two weeks, three ten- pound food packages. These subslst- ent stores are provided by the govern ment and the Aniertcan Red Cross. A sufficient quantity of'supplies Is now on the wa y t o Switzerland to care fo r 10,000 American prisoners for a period of six months. This Bureau Is also the sole agency licensed by the Wa r Trade Board to transmit money to American and Allied prisoners In Ger many. o+o CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of energy to a great many other things We decide when w e begin to prose cute a war to produce a different sort of thing for a different sort of pur pose. Necessarily that means that pri ll vote expenditure becomes different: We must not spend for the old things, because we have to buy new things. The Individual cannot himself go out with his own money and purchase guns, uniforms and ships needed to prosecute the war The spending and buying must be done by the govern ment in the name of all the Individu als, and the Individuals must refrain from spending that money for other things. The war Is going to be fought with savings—not because saving Is a virtue, but because It cannot be fought In nnv ntly.r., lyn.v Every,Jnill.YjfiluU. must save money, because money stands for value, which meaps produc tion, which in turn means material, la : bor, transportation, distributing ex penses. Insurance and a great many other tilings that go to make up the value of the articles we buy The ultl mate thing roust be saved—the labor, material, etc.—' ecause those things must be devoted to other ends. When the Individual saves money he does not call for the labor and the material and that Is the only way he^can save the important thing. In this Way alone can he do his bit. and those of us who stay at home fo r whatever reason must see that our bit Is Raving. But It means suvjlig small sums and not large. The Immense totul of an Immense number o f snail sums Is greater than most people realize. One dollar from each of the common pen pie Is more than John D. Rockefeller's Income by a jrreat deal. Nor roust wp fall to realize that we cannot other wise save than In small -sums. 1 I t we cut off large sums from the expend! ture of the community we shall entail great suffering for a good many people and make the prosecution of the war cost more than It need to. Everybody must save but everybody need save only a little. It must come off a little here and a little there from the dally expenditure, and the sum total will be enormous. Twenty dollars per capita per year is two billions, fifty dollars per capita per jeiir Is five billions, and fifty dollars a year Is one dollar a week.
