RED CROSS MUST
GIVE away To WAR
Efficiency Comes Before
Measures to Relieve Suf-
fering in the Navy.

Washington, May 9.-Measures de-
signed to prolong life and relieve hu-
man suffering must give way during
the actual progress of naval battle
to those duties which tend to promote
the efficiency of the fleet, according to
Surgeon General Stokes, U. 8. N. who
addressed the international Red Cross
conference on the relations of the Red
Cross to the medical department Of
the navy in war.
1T is only at the close of the bat
tle." he said. that the activities Of
the medical department become hu-
manitartum and become united to
those of the Red Cross. Only brief
attention to first aid can be given in
battle. Humanitarian activities. al
though greatly to be desired, have no
place in this situation, and might even
lead to additional casualties and pos
sibly to failure of our arms. The fact
must be recognized that the duties of
the regular naval medical department
are military. not humanitarian: and
by military I mean those activities
the personnel and consequently the ef-
ficiency of the fleet. AS soon as the
battle is over comprehensive measures
for relief should be undertaken"
Surgeon General Torney of the
United States army. declared that
''even in time of peace the personnel
Of the army medical department has
never been adequate for the needs of
the service. wherefor. it will be nec-
cessary for the war department in
time of war to accept aid such as that
offered by the Red Cross"
The economy of time is the only one
that counts in time of war. when min
utes may. be worth millions. declared
DR.. Farkas of Austria Hungary, In
urging uniformity, simplicity and
quickness of adaptability as the ideals
to strive for in Red Cross sanitary war
equipment.
A reception to the delegates by Miss
Mabel Boardman. active head of the
American Red Cross. was given last

she simply was trying to show how
the regulations of the department
had lowered the requirements of

ception on the part of the. packers.
Mrs. Crane made no specific charg-
es of fraud against any packer. She
said she knew of no substitution of

FARM HANDS BEAT
THE PROFESSORS
More Demand for Practical
than Theoretical Men at
Wisconsin University.

Madison, May 9.-The despised
work of the farm hand has become
a lucrative vocation in Wisconsin,
moro so. in fact, than the learned
professions. judging from the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin records. There
were more applications in the hands
of Prof. r. A. Moore of the agronomy
department for men with agricultural
training than he will be able to fill
this year. When the university clos
ed in 1911. the agricultural college
had orders for graduates. which it
could not supply paying salaries ag-
gregating $45O.O00. These were the
jobs the department could not fill for
the want of qualified men.
