FRIENDS BUILD HOSPITALS FOR WAR REFUGEES "'-'.. Annual Report Shows 450 Workers in Reconstruction : Work. The general condition of the Friends Reconstruction unit in France is described in a report just issued which says: , . , "All over the United States, from Maine to Oregon, in nearly all Friendly centers, men and women are giving money, women are sewing and knitting, and congregations are seeking to know their duty towards this effort which expresses their Christian ideal of conduct in war time; an ideal Which is constructive, kinrilv and

resioraiive. "But this is rtnlv thn hapVe-rnnnr?

The real workers are in France. At last reports some 450 men and women are In this stricken country trying to

periorm in actual service what all this home machinery is intended to provide. Of these about 200 are English; more are American; and there are

nine trench women; but the numbers change from day to day, and they are all busy. Detail Their Work. "What do they do? In the wooded regions of the Jura Mountains,-at Dole and Ornans. there are factories worked by the Unit for making portable houses and furniture. The French government, which omits no opportunity to express its appreciation and aid in the movement, minnlipa thn lnmhor

free. The little houses, easily put to-

geiner, are snipped to the country where the war scourge has passed over, and many a family which would otherwise bo In the ruins or the tenement cellars of large cities, has found a resting place, wholesome If somewhat temporary. The amount possible to be done in this way Is indefinite, limited only by the number of workers which can be provided. In addition, hospitals have been built for refugees who have been driven entirely away from their homes. These afford not only relief but also the opportunity for personal contact with the poor people, whom to serve, the members of the Unit have crossed th nnoan

At another place some J00 houses for

a luoercuiar settlement have been erected, furnished and manned. WORK ON FARMS. "The important subject of agriculture takes another group. Many young men used to farming at home have given their experience, their labor and their skill, to plowing, threshing, repairing farm machinery. Work Is furnished to refugees. Eight hospitals are maintained two general, one maternity, two convalescent homes, one home for aged women and two children's hospitals. "So impressed have the American Red Cross and the French government been with the efficiency of our work that new avenues are continually opening. At least 500 well-fitted Americans could be immediately employed in useful efforts of amelioration and reconstruction. Offer Sympathy. , "But it is more than material help which these suffering French people want Our men and women serving without pay are not doing it in any heartless way. The kindly expression of our sympathy, the opening for spiritual comfort and encouragement, the response which comes from stricken victims who have lost their homes of a lifetime and often members of their own household, and now find someone who from pure love shows them a little gleam of living hope. these are the rewards our workers have. "The government at Washington has seemed to be as liberal as we could expect towards the conscientious objectors to military service. But we are all loyal citizens in this emergency and every one of us should see that we serve, with our brethren who risk so much more than ourselves, the duties and responsibilities or th m situation in ways that commend themselves to(our consciences, (''resident Wilson writes: "I am sure that you will permit me to express deep appreciation of the reconstruction work proposed, und my happiness that it is being carried on in association with the Red Cross, which is already doing u great work in Franco to express the heart of America.'

"The Red Cross, with the civilian branch of which we are associated, has repeatedly approved our work, not only by encouragement but by appropriating money for special needs, not regular maintenance, to the extent of over $200,000. The director of this

civilian branch, writing at a time wfeen he could refer mainly to the work of English Friends says:

" 'The Red Cross looks on the Society of Friends as In a sense its expert leaders. There is no group of people from whom we have already learned so much or from whom we expect to learn so much as the Friends.' Ernest P. Bicknell, a relief worker in France, in a recent letter to Timothy Nicholson, bears this testimony: " 'It has been a very great pleasure to be somewhat closely associated with the American and English Friends who are engaged in relief work in France and Belgium. I am easily within the truth when I say that no Americans who have come to France for relief work within the past year have 'surpassed In spirit, intelligence or industry those who ' have been sent by the Friends' Committee in America.' "Other . testimonials equally satisfactory can be produced.

Ask for Help. "Whatever success we have achieved in the past and hope for in the future must depend on the religious spirit with which the effort is prosecuted. . . : "Space does not permit us more than to mention the Russian work in which a little group of American women are engaged, a mere beginning In the face of unlimite dopportunities. It is, however, encouraging that a gentleman in New York has just given $10,000 to cover something .more of the great field. "The statistics change very rapidly, but of the 240 (approximated) American workers in France about 190 are Friends and about 30 Mennonites, the others scattering. The substantial aid received from the Mennonite body, in men and money, is greatly appreciated. Their volunteers are coming in rapidly and they expect to complete the sum of $200,000, much of which is already in our treasury, in a short time. "Quite recently the French government has asked us to take charge of reconstruction in about forty villages around Verdun. This is a new district for us and the request is valu

able as showing confidence in our j work. The Service Committee has ap-' propriated $25,000 to this special field. ,

Such demands are likely to increase and it is hoped 'will be able to honor them." A total of $713,776.30 has been contributed to the work.

CONSTRUCTION MAN SLASHED BY NEGRO

A race riot was feared for a time this morning when Assistant Superintendent Stoller of the Austin Construc-

J tion company, engaged In the con

struction of the Pennsylvania round house at . North Nineteenth and E streets, was slashed with a razor by a negro workman, Henry Starling. The negro refused to do what he was told, and drew a razor, according to the police. Stoller knocked him down, and then the workman cut Stoller on the head, opening two arteries. Stoller'8 . wounds were dressed at the yards by the use of first aid and he was then brought to the office of Dr. Marvel. Although the cuts were serious he was able to leave the office. The police were called, and met the truck of the Construction company on Its way in bringing the negro. He was transferred to the patrol and brought in to the city jail where he will be confined until tomorrow morning when the case will come up in city court. Much excitement was shown at the first There are about 350 negroes doing construction work, and about as many white laborers.

William Dudley Foulke Observes Seventieth Birthday Anniversary

William Golden, Former Patrolman Is Dead

William B. Golden, 59 years old, and widely known in Richmond as a former patrolman, died Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at his home, 313 North Ninth street of paralysis. He has been a resident of Richmond and vicinity all his life and served as a patrolman for 21 years. He was the owner of a cigar store on North Eighth street for many years. He is survived by his widow, Sarah Golden, one daughter, Mrs. Lulu Klrkman, living ' in Middleboro, and four sons, Howard, Harry, David and Mark of this city. Funeral ser-ices will be private and will be held from the home Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial will be in the Hoover-Bulla cemetery. Friends may call Thursday afternoon and evening.

The Indianapolis Star this morning published a sonnet written by William Dudley Foulke on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, with the fo!-

! lowing editorial comment:

"The poem is expressive of the calm and peaceful attitude of one who looks toward the sunset of life as one turns to the close of a long summer day, a day that has brought happiness, but also at the last a little weariness, yet at the end -will bring rest. "Such thoughts disclose glimpses of the soul and inner life of the author, yet they may also be regarded as expressions of a mood. For it can not be believed by those who know how keenly Mr." Foulke has been interested in public affairs, especially as they related to the improvement and welfare of our institutions, and how actively he has worked to promote good causes, that even as age comes on and his physical energies decline, he can lose concern for the common welfare. This public aspect of his activities is accompanied by a group of wonderful friendships, one of which was revently celebrated in a sonnet in The Star, addressed by him to another grand old man of Indiana, Lucius B. Swift. ' "Throughout his career, Mr. Foulke has been a forward looking man; a publicist, not self-seeking, and therefore with clearer vision, he has seen the right and proclaimed it when it was not always visible to those about him. It is good for a community to possess such men; it has been good for Indiana that it has had such a citizen as Mr. Foulke. Not spectacular or ootrusive, yet always with strong and positive convictions and ready to

speak them when need required, his influence has been felt. He has done a good part and though' his more active days have passed and he indulges in the contemplations of the philosopher' rather than the admonitions of the statesman, he is not the less to be honored. He grows old gracefully."

i Mr. and Mrs. Foulke are in Wash

ington visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Cates.
