Paris, Dec. 8.-The class Of 1914 re-
cruits called out two months in ad.
vance of its time, has now had three
months Of training and is reported by
its commanding officers and instruc-
tors TO be ready for action.
This, it is said, may seem a re-
markably short time in which to whip
into shape, discipline and accustom to
the hard duties Of a campaign, an
army Of 100000 20-year-old men, but
it is explained, however, that the ma,
terial was excellent. Their fine physi-
cal condition is attributed largely to
the development of sport. There are
many indications that these young sol.
diers are now ear the fighting line.

year before their time, have just pass.
ed the medical examination, but the
years difference in age does not show
the anticipated difference in physical
fitness. The proportion of accepted
men will net fall far short Of the
proportion of the class Of 1914. These
soldiers will shortly leave to take the
place of the preceding class in the in.
strnction camps, and it is expected
that they will be ready for active
service by March.

MANY HOSPITALS TO

Over a Thousand Hospitals at

Berlin Alone.
Berlin Alone.

Berlin, Dec. S.-Berlin has at pres
ent about LOO hospitals for the
wounded, the smallest accommodate
ing forty cases While the larger ones
have. from 400 to- 500 beds.
In all, there are said to be abou,
10000 wounded in Berlin hospitals,
the number being maintained fairly
constant, although the individual pa
tients are constantly changing. A
very large proportion Of the wounded,
it is stated, are soon discharged as
again fit for duty and return to the
front. No definite figures are avai,-
able but an army surgeon who has
had large experience both in the felG
and in the base, and reserve hospitals
estimated that about 70 per cent OF
the wounded are returning or will
return to duty, only 30 per cent beins
permanently untitled for military ser
vice. 10y
The Associated Press correspondent
was taken through six of the larger
Berlin hospitals and found there many
OF the wounded from the recent cam
paign against Warsaw and IvangorOd.
These men had had a particularly
trying experience. Many of them,
wounded before I"angorod, for ex-
ample, had been transported in
wagons for two days before reaching
the Russian railroads and had been
another two to four days Ell route
over the Russian railroads before
reaching the German railroads at

Wounded lodged in the Royal Con

Cold Weather Adds to Difficulty
of Starting Motor in Auto

The advent Of cold weather has add
ed to the difficulty Of starting a motor
on the low gravity gasoline which now
is most common on the market and
which is most used by American mo-
florists; but there is a way to make
for easy starting and that is to prop,
erly overhaul the motor and pat it il
shape-tnne it up, in other words
a mot0rist using low gravity gasO-
line will find that cold weather makes
it harder to start a motor than in sum

able trouble can be avoided by taking
the following course: First OF all, put
in a new set or dry batteries. or else
recharge the storage battery. Then
clean your spark plugs, and after
cleaning them set the sparkling points
q little closer together. Clean the
magnetic inside and out with gasoline
and look over all wires and switches.
After you are sure the ignition IS
right, adjust the carburetor, cutting
down the air supply, because the air
III winter is heavier and denser than
IN summer n you don't need so much
opening in the air valve. Then look
at all the intake manifold joints and
gaskets SO as to be sure there is no
leak above the carburetor. Then start
up your motor and after it WARNS UP
and while It is still running, pour a
quart of kerosene slowly through the
air valve on the carburetor, letting the
motor run about ten minutes longer.
: THAT attended to, drain all the Oil
out OF the crank-case and oiler and
put in a fresh supply, seeing to it that
It will stand a temperature below ze1o
