Six of them will finish the grade school work this spring. A total of trips by the visiting nurse of the institution in the interests of the children were reported made during tlie yeir. The financial repen t shows that the expenditures for the year amount to faT'lS, leaving a balance of .ffonj.4h still on hand. This money was secured through contributions mane oy various enurencs ana char ities. Because of the increased needs of the institution and the increase in living e xpenses, the directors decided at the meeting to go before the state legislature at the next session and petition for a larger allowance for next year. Speaking on this subject. State Senator Charles A. Hagerty promised his sinceiest support in the matter of securing more funds. He gave an interesting description of the work being done, and spoke of what great value an institution of this kind is to the state, and therefore it should be aided in every way possible. Dr. K. R. Rorley. in a short talk, gave a report of the medical work that had been done during the year. Sixty-three si k calls have been made to the home, and of the children were operated upon for the removal of adenoids and tonsils.

COMPANY

UNITED STATES Merger of All Concerns in the Country Effected After Conference Tuesday With McAdoo. WASHINGTON, May ::. On union express company tor the United States was cieated Tuesday by agreement between Director Gen. McAdoo and the Adams, American. Wells Fargo and Southern companies. whose transportation business will be merged under a new private corporation with a capital of more than 5 J0.00U.0U', to bt known as the Federal Fxpres.s C'o. i.tori C. Taylor, now president of the American, will be head of the new concern. After July 1, when the combination becomes effective, shippers will direct shipments "by express" without regard to company and soon thereafter the individual names of the separate companies will begin to disappear from wagons, stations and cars. .The company will be the express carrying agency of the railroads, operating privately, but under contract to turn over .".n 1-4 per cent of the gross revenues more than l'OO.öOO.OOO U-st year to the roads for transportation privileges. Three smaller railroad owned companies. the Western. Great Northern and Northern, may join the combination later. Ak Kate Inrreas. A pending application for in per cent increase in rates was tiled bofore government operation of the railroads, or the express combination were contemplated would be passed upon oon by the interstate commerce commission. More than 10".o0o employes of the four companies are to be retained under the new corporation, and their vvaes will be raised in many eases, according to Mr. Vaylor. The amount will be determined after the scale of wage advances ordered for railroad employes is examined carefully. Through economies by tho common use of wagons trucks, distribution stations, city offices. warehouses, Railroad cars and other equipment and the s-implitication of accounting, the companies hope to save many millions of dollars and to render better service. To lie- Permanent. Though the merger is arranged under war conditions, it is planned as permanent and accomplishes the object which has been discussed in vain for almost a century of competitive conditions. Last year the four leading companies barely made expenses and the Adams recorded a deticit. Farly months this year showed even a worse record owing ta the general demoralized condition of railroad transportation, the rising cost of materials and shortage of labor. Some officials of the companies sought to have the railroad administration take over the companies along with the railroads and guarantee the average pre-war earnings which would have been about $"..- TOO.OOo a year, but Director Gen. 1 McAdoo declined to extend his field of operations to this extent.

Knitting Encouraged by War Department But Red Cross Should Distribute It

By Lain WASHINGTON. May 29. American women, the American Red Cross will hike care of your knitting. Although there has heen a ruling by the war department that no more "comfort packages" may be sent to Krume by p.i reels post, the I ted Cross- is still allowed to send whatever is needed for the comfort of the boys, in the trenches. Moreover, the Red Cross will see to it that the comforts go where they are needed. You may fe 1 certain that when your knitted efforts are turned over to the Red Cross, they will be placed ha the hands of some soldier who needs thein. lie fore the recent order of the war department went into effect some of the boys over there were flooded with more comforts than they really needed by their friends. Rill Smith's mother knit him a muffler and sent it to him from the home town, Kankakee. Dill's sister, who was in Vassar. at Poughkeepsie also sent him a muffler, and his girl, who was at Smith in Northampton likewise knit a muffler and sent it to Dill. As the result of all of this kindliness. Dill was pretty nearly muffled to death in the trenches. This condition of atTairs is not t-o when your knitting is distributed through the Red Cross. De sure to knit what the Red Cross wants. Their representatives are in close touch with the boys at the front and kaovv what thev need. Military Men Not Sure of Real Enemy Objectives WASHINGTON. May 29. Military men here arc without sufficient information about the new German drive on the Aisne front to form conclusive view.s as to what developments are to expected. In spite ct the wide front of attack and the large forces used by the enemy there still was doubt in the minds of most cfficers Monday night whether a real thrust toward Paris by a new toute was in progress, or whether the blow is only a bloody strategic move to pave the way for later renewal of the effort to crush the Rritish army and split the allied line near Amiens. On the basis of account; so far received the op.nion prevailed that r.o substantial success had yet rewarded the German effort. In the north around Ixcre, he has evidently suffered a complete repulse. Whatever part that operation was to pay in the strategic designs of the German general staff, it has failed. It was admitted, however, that reports from the Aisne front in the south were umatisfactory in that thev- told little or nothing of what is transpiring beyond the fact that a crossing of t le Aisne had been forced by the Germans. Where great caution and few words of any positive nature mark the official communication, observers here have been led by experience to fear that greater inroads -.han are announced ll.tV- been made by the enemy.

Sec'y of War Raker, in making a statement enJorsing knitting aj u war occupation for American women, said: "An apparent misunderstanding has arisen in some quarters regarding the attitude of the war department toward the knitting of sweaters and comforts for our soldiers. The department has? in no sense discouraged the furnishing of iucli garments through the American Red Cross, and is appreciative of the spirit which prompts American women in their knitting for the troops. It is true that a sweater is not included in the regular equipment of the army, and it is not regarded as an absolutely essential garment. However, a knitted sweater is a garment of great erv -ice-ability and constitutes a welcome addition to a soldier's equipment, particularly when the tol-jier is on duty irt the rigorous winter climate of France. While the department itself has not officially called upon any organization to supply sweaters, certain divisions of the army have made such requisitions and have been gratified that the supply was available. The work of American women who desire to add this comfortable article to the clothing rupplied the soldier by the war department is worthy of encouragement." So knitting may continue the chief summer sport fur women and the American Red Cross will see that the knitted comforts, reach the right place. believe, already are being shown In the new operations in striking contrast to the confusion in the allied ranks that followed the original attack begun March 21. There are I as yet no reports tending to show I the new attack has been attended by any developments for which Gen. Foch had not prepared in advance.
