Where Our Soldiers Recuperate.
Chamhery, Franc*'. March 20.? Amer
Iohh soldier* on leave now are being
:ent to the department of Savoy, one
of |Ju? most pit turesque regions o
France, to obtain rest and henlthfn'
"ecreatton after their arduous work
in the trenches and behind the lines.
The department was selected by o'
ticers of the American army.
It is beautifully situated about .'15'
miles from Paris in the Alps in south
eastern France, having a mild am*
Agreeable climate, fertile valleys, high
and well-timbered- mountains aih1 pret
ty mountain streams and lakes.
Al\-les-Bains. Ohambrey and Chal
les-les-Kaux are the three towns in
the department to which the tirs*
Vmerlcan soldiers are being sent.
The tirst couttn gent of soldiers was
sent to Aix-les-Balns, known -to tour
ists the world over as "the Pearl ef
Savoy". This town with a norma'
Population of less than 10.000 Inhabi
tants is located Uut one mile from the
Lake of Bourget on a small plain
surrounded by mountains.
Alx owes its fame and Importance to
its warm mineral springs, known to
the Romans.' The baths are operated
under government supervision. The
water is supplied by two springs,
yielding daily over a million gallons.
The treatment prescribed chiefly for
rheumatism and skin diseases, is sup
plied to American soldiers at a very
nominal cost.
Chamhery is a town of 22.000 in
habitants about nine miles from Aix
Ic^-Hains. it is the capital <>f the De
partment of Savoy and an important
center <>f learning and industry. The
(J rand Dukes of Savoy made their
headquarters in Cbambery and built
there a great old oastle. parts of which
-till stand. <>ld Roman ruins are also
found iti the neighborhood.
Challes-les-Kaux is another well
known hot springs station located a
couple of miles southeast of Chain
bcry and at the foot r?f the Bauge
mountains. The baths there are said
to have virtually the same mineral
properties as those at Aix-les-Balns. A
large casino and a theatre have been
leased in Ohalles by the Young Men's
Christian Association for the benetlt
of the American soldiers.
To t'se Japanese Vessels.
Washington, March 28. ? Under the
agreement btoween the United States
and Japanese shipbuilders, twelvo big
steamers of aln>ut 100,000 tons dead
weight capacity will be brought under
the American flag within the next few
months, in return for supplies of steel
| at the rate of a ton of steel for a
ton of shipping.
Information announcing the agree
ment tonight, the war trade board let
it be known that through negotiations
in progress It hopes to have Japanese
builders turn out 200,000 tons of new
construction with steel furnished by
the United States. All of the vessels
already negotiated for are large, mod
ern steamers, of 16,000 tons or over,
with one exception.
Once Cent More Eath Month.
Commencing April 1st War Savings
Stamps will cost $4.15 each instead of
14.14 the cost during March. Each
month during the present year the cost
of these stamps will increase one cent.
The reason for thin Is very plain ?
tbe stamps Increase In value ea?n
month at the rate of about 11 pej.co
per annum, or one oenf, A tmmp will
cost $4.15 during Aprn, out at th?i
same time a stamp for which $4.11
was paid in March or $4.13 in February
can be redeemed In April for $4. IS.
The rule works both ways. Stamps
that are held until maturity, January
1, 1023, will be redeemed for $5.00
each, which is intermt at the rate of
4.27 per cent.
TO PUSH BUILDING OF
RED CROSS HOUSES
' ?
Homo 8ervlce Work Fop Army Camps
Stressed In Conference At Divi
sion Headquarters
A very important conference touch
ing the work of the American Rod
CrOHH in the Hrmy camps of the South
ern Division was held In Atlanta a few
days ago. There were present not
only Col. W. 1?. Pool, Division Manag
er; C. B. Btdwell, Associate Manager,
and Z. Bennett Phelps, Division Direc
tor of the Bureau of Military Relief, to*
gether with a number of the HeU Cross
Field Directors and Assistant Field
Directors f ;p? the camps, hut
also, W. Prank Per h oris, Director Gen
eral of Civilian Relief; Henry 8.
Thompson, National Director of the
Bureau of Camp Service, and Charles
E. Fox, Assistant Director of ('amp
Service in charge of construction.
A number of important matters
were discussed, among them being the
personnel In the training caniDa, the
building and manning of the Red'Cross
houses for convalescents in the camps,
and the appointment of directors fdr
these houses, Instructions regarding
hospital information ?arvice, and the
relation of the Home Service depart
ment to the department of Military
Relief and the importance of Home
Service to the men in the tra'nlmc
camps and in the trenches, which <
latter was ta'ken up with tho field di
rectors by Mr. Persons.
The volume of Home Service work
to be done necessitates the appoint
1 inent of an associate field director in
charge of home service who will work
with the regular field director in the
camp. There will also bo a Home Ser
vice director' on evory 'transport that
carries American troops to France, so
that every soldier who leaves family
or buslnoss worries behind may have
someone to whom to turn for help and
advice. The problem of keoplng up
' he morale of the army by making
them understand that their families
are well looked after while they ar?
away as well as that of helping tc
maintain a normal standard of living
in the families where the men are
away belongs tol the iyome Service 01
Civilian- Relief Department.
"At the time 6f the Napoleon!*
campaigns/*' sal8 Mr. Persons, "it was
estimated that the morale of the army
was more important than ammunition
in the ratio of 3 to 1. In the present
war, one of the greatest English gen
eivls has estimated the ratio as 9 to
1. Home Service Is more Important
to the United States troops than to
those of England and France, because
the French and English soldiers hav?
two weeks' leave every 90 days, can
return to their homes and look aftei
their most pressing business aJTaire
for themselves. But the American
soldier who goes to France will prob
ably stay in France until the end of
the war, and It Is only through the
Home Service Department of the Red.
Cross that his mind can be relieved
from all worry concerning Hffairs at
homo ho that hiB entire attention can
be concentrated on soldiering."
Many illustrations of the value ot
Horn* Service in the training camps
of this country were given by the
Field Directors, and the duties of thc
men in charge of this branch of the
work outlined.
Henry S. Thompson, national direc
tor of the Bureau of Camp Service,
spoke on the duties of the military
field directors in the camps find their
relation to the Home Service Directors
In the same camps. .
The building of the Red Cross
houses In 40 army camps in this coun
try was then ta/ken up by Charles E.
Fox, assistant director of Camp Ser
vice in charge of construction, and the
purpose of these houses was explain
ed to the Field Directors and assist
ants who were present. Quarters and
a place of amusement will be provided
in these houses for convalescent sol
diers who are well enough to leave the
hospitals and yet not well enough to
return to active duty, as well as ac
commodations for the families of men
who are ill enough to make it neces
sary to send for their relatives. It is
being planned that a large part of the
furniture for these houBes shall be
? made by the older boys In the
Junior Red Ctosb auxiliaries.
The construction in the camps
of the Southern Division will be su
pervised by John R. Dillon of Atlanta,
of the firm of Morgan & Dillon, archi
tects, who has volunteered his ser
vices to the Southern division for any
sort of architectural work.
Men trained in work similar to that
of the Home Service department are
wanted at once for work in the camps
and on the transports. All applications
in this division should be made to
Joseph C. Ix>gan, Director of Civilian
Relief.
Field Directors and Assistant Field
Directors present at the conference
were T. T. Flagler, 8. A. Darrach, Dr.
Josiah Morse, I^&nning Harvey, W. R.
Carr, William C. Denny, H. M. Voor
hees, J, Loarlng Clark, H. A. Field,
i William 8. Moore, J. C. Williams, and
