Here’s Where a
Part of Your Big
Dollar Has Gone
PARIS, Oct. 1 — (by mail.)—The vast
and varied activities of the American
Red Cross in relieving suffering in
the war zone is outlined in the latest
report of the civil affairs department
of the organization.
During the month of June the de
partment rendered aid to 412,563 civil
ians, exclusive of the work among
allied soldiers. Of this huge army,
226,638 were refugees from the war
stricken regions. In the early days
of the German offensive thousands of
refugees passed through Paris daily,
most of them practically destitute and
suffering from exposure and hardships
of the hurried flight. American Red
Cross emergency committees met them
at the stations and supplied aid. A
large percentage of the refugees so
assisted were children.
The supplies distributed by all the
bureaus during the month include
296,710 garments. 56.647 pairs of shoes,
17,222 articles of furniture, 60,078 ar
ticles of bedding and household linen,
668,672 pounds of food, 85,570 yards
of cloth, and 4,287 articles of hospital
equipment and supplies.
Some* of the other activities in suc
coring the war-stricken include seven
teen civilian hospitals with 1,698 hods.
also a new hospital for soldiers who
have lost limbs. Three refugee homes
are housing 1,500 homeless children
from the invaded territory. In I’aris
alone 32.000 school children are pro
curing supplementary food for noon
time luncheons from the Red Cross.
Sixty-one dispensaries for children or
tubercular refugees cared for 45,028
patients and two workshops have been
completed for re education of war crip
ples.
Money grants totalling 021,585 francs
were given to other organizations for
relief work of which more than one
half went for aid of tubercular suf
ferers and 346,353 francs to war refu
gees.

To whom it may concern:
There’s potatoes in the wood-shed.
There’s dour in the bin,
There’s beans a-plenty in the cup
board,
To waste them is a sin.
Go to it, neighbor, if your hungry!
Fill up while you've a chance,
For I’m going after the Kaiser,
Somewhere over in France.

JAPAN MAY
TALK AT THE
PEACE TABLE
TOKIO, Oct. 1C. Japan's chief goal
at the peace conference should be to
obtain an open door for immigration
to Australia, India, Canada and the
United States, writes E. Uyehara. a
member of parliament, in "Japan and
the Japanese," a popular fortnightly
magazine of Tokio. Uyehara was a
member of the parliamentary commis
sion which visited America early this
year.
"In England, the League of Nations
theory is finding strong support," Uye
hara writes. "A league cannot be
realized when Britain, which possesses
so much of the earth, adopts an -ex
clusive policy in her own territory.
Should all the natural resources in
British possessions lie monopolized
permanently by their own nationals,
it would lie inevitable that the non
British nations would pursue a mili
taristic aggressive policy against her.
"America is fighting to safeguard
the independence and rights of the
small nations, it claims. This must
mean that the small nations are to be
given the right to develop their own
destinies without molestation or in
terference It is not calculated to
guarantee the independence and the
rights of small nations for strong
powers to monopolize the benefits ac
cruing from their vast natural re
sources.
“Again, the policy of confining a
large number of people within their
own territory of limited dimensions,
such as Japan, does not tend to assist
the civilization of the world, nor is
such a policy calculated to bring about
the peace of the world.
"It is clear In these circumstances
that Japan's advocacy of the open door
principle will mee( with no dissent
from Britain or America, even though
it may lie ..ignized that the immed
iate enforcement of this principle is
attended with many difficulties.
“While claiming the open door in
territories bordering the Pacific, Japan
ought to insist that America grant in
dependence to the Philippines. Amer
ica's suspicions of Japan have been
the obstacle to her granting this in
dependence, and therefore Japan's ex
pression of readiness to guarantee the
independence, acting in concert with
Great Britain and America, may in
duce the latter to comply with Japan's
proposal.
"Japan also must Insist that Hawaii p
hr made a neutral zone. The lnde- <;
prudence of the Philippines and the
neutrality of Hawaii are not questions
which are important for their own
Hake, but Japan must contrive for it
their realization as a means to give
effect to America’s principle of safe
guarding tin* independence and rights
of small nations, and also as the first g<
step In the direction of enforcing tie*
open door principle in regard to im- ^
migration
"Japan's efforts to carry this great “
principle at the peace conference may —
pave tin* way for establishment of a
great international ideal, even though
her efforts are not crowned with im
mediate success. Moreover, her claims
will be received with universal sym
pathy and support by the Asiatic
peoples, and thus tin* foundation will
he laid for Japan’s assumption of the
leadership of Asia."
