An Appeal to America
Surgeons and Nurses Are
Needed in War Zone
correspondence of The Associated Press.)

London, Sept. 17-Inability to take
prompt care of the sick and wounded
soldiers in the field is manifestinS
itself to an alarming degree in the rear
of the French and English lines.
An American official, who was close
behind the allies for several days,
within 100 miles of Paris, said he
found 200 soldiers in one emergency
camp who had been for two days with
out food and water, and had no surgi-
cal attention. although some Of them
were badly injured and their wounds
were foul from neglect. In many other
places, he found scores of wounded
men who had not been picked by the
ambulance corps.
At Paris hospital facilities are ade-
quate and good care is taken of the
injured there, but the FIRST aid to
the injured" work is not thoroughly
organized and adequate provisions
have not been made for picking the
injured up promptly and affording
them speedy treatment and transporta-
ton to a base hospital.
"The plain truth about the present
situation is that Germans, French and
English alike are so engrossed with the
mighty task of making war, that they
have no time nor strength left to care
for the sick and wounded said the
American official. Here Is the oppor-

New French Bomb Brings
Instant Death to Ener1y

Correspondence of The Associated
Press).
London, Sept 17.--Remarkable tales
of novel engines of war are appearing
in all parts of Europe, but nothing has
vet equaled the reports circulated COM
cerning new guns used by the French,
which fire turpinite, substance said
to produce instantaneous and painless
death for every living thing within Its
reach.
Although it is so deadly in its work,
turpinite cannot be objected to on the
ground that it violates humane prfn-
cipies of war. In fact, it is so humane
that Ii must not be confused with iyd-
dite and other explosives which have
deadly fumes.
English correspondents have report
ed that entire lines of German soldiers
stood dead in their trenches as a result
OF the fumes from the mysterious tur-
pinite discharged by the French in en-
gagements along the Marne. The dead
Germans are reported to have main
tanned standing posture and retained
their rifles in their hands, so sudden
and unusual was the effect Of the new
weapon. Instantaneous paralysis is
said to have been caused by turpinite.

pinite itself. Experts are required, IL

During the anniversary hour, one of
the most delightful features of the

developed that there were present at
this convention, twenty seven women
and one man, who have been in the
w. C. T.. II. work in this state for
twenty five years When this came out,
they were asked to stand up in a line
in front of the convention, and were
given the white ribbon salute. These
workers and one or two others, who
come in this class, who arrived later,
posed for a group picture in front of
the Presbyterian church this noon, and,
as accurately as could be obtained, COM

CANT HIT THE PIPE
LAWFULLY In MINOT

Minot, ". D.. Sept 26.-An ordinance
prohibiting the selling, smoking or
keeping of cocaine was passed by the
board of city commissioners. The or
dinance was introduced by Commits
sioner John Wilson. 1t further pro-
hibits the keeping of a place for either
selling or smoking opium or the use
Of cocaine or permitting persons to re-
sort to such place for the purpose
of buying or smoking opium or any of
it's preparations.
Heretofore there has been no law
governing the use of dope, and the ac-
tion Of the commissioners in provid-
ing one for same will meet the situa-
tion very adequately. 1t is expected
to be great help in doing away with
the dope-using operations of the Grim
inal classes in this city.
The new law provides a penalty of
$179 fine or ten days in Jail or both
for offenders.

tunity for the United States to play
the Good Samaritan in a way which
will be thoroughly appreciated by the
entire world"
Instead Of sending a few surgeons
and nurses to each of the belligerent
countries sufficient funds might be
subscribed in the United States to en-
able the American Red Cross to send
twenty surgeons and 100 nurses with
complete field hospital equipment into
every one of the countries where fight
ing is now going on. There is impera-
tive need for immediate help for neu-
trails. The belligerents cannot do
justice to their sick and wounded with
out the assistance of outsiders. Until
one gets into the war zone and sees
the wounded, it is impossible to con-
ceive of the magnitude of this con-
fiict "
"The Red Cross hospital ship sent
by the Americans will be of great use,
but trained surgeons and nurses to go
into the field are needed more than
ships or base hospitals. And the sur
gcons and doctors are needed immedi-
atelys and will be needed throughout

sil wounds is. / saw men lying on
