Cannot Make Fires For Fear Of
Attracting Attention Of
Enemy
BY WILLIAM O. SHEPHERD.

tStdH correspondent -OHtteu fTSSS.J
SENLlS, France. Oct. 6.-=(By mail
to New York. .)--One horror OF war is
the life that Is wasted for lack OF
medical attention. There are plenty
Of ambulances and doctors, but they
cannot reach wounded men who are
lying In the firing zone, and so suf-
iering men must wait as best they
can without water or attention until
the battle has passed on. In the
meantime, blood poison sets In aud
the slightest wounds become. fatal.
One young English lieutenant WHO
had lain on the battlefield for two
days with slight wound in his leg
was found with the limb distended
with gas. He was taken to a hos
pital and the leg was cut of, but he
died within two days, from the poison
which had entered his blood. An
other young English officer had the
joint OF his right middle finger shot
away. Two days later he reached
Paris and went into a hospital where
he died within a few days, Of tetanus.
The French army officials try 10
force soldiers TO carry small Walls OF
antiseptic with which they might
wash small wound, but the men
throw them away as, soon as they get
tired and want TO lessen theA weight
of their pack.
A tired. superlatively dirty soldier
staggered into the little cafe In the
town OF yillers Cotterest. His senses
seemed stunned. He asked for q
drink of hot coffee listlessly, Then.
in excellent English, he asked me for
a cigarette. E

Il rained we could not make fires be-
cause of the enemy. We could only
lay down on the bare ground In our
wet clothes and try TO sleep. The
food autos couldn't find US for two
days because we were stationed In q
forest. When we did get food we
were SO hungry that We all ate too
much. and everybody became Ill.
even our captain. ! was too sick and
weak to be happy when they came

and brought US back here to the vii.

The little French soldier had been
an interpreter In business house

and unnatural way, but l suppose

NEGRO GIRLS STORY
BADLY DISCREDITED
Even District Attorney Has
Little Hope of Securing
Conviction

MINEOLA, L. l., Oct. 24.-Mrs.
Florence Carman expects to spend
Sunday with her family at Freeport.
When the sixth day OF her trial on
a charge of having slain Mrs. Louise
Bailey on the night of June 80,
opened today, 1t was certain all evil
dence would be In, arguments and
thescourt's charge to the jury COM
pleted, and the case placed In the
hands OF the jury late this. after
noon.
Few could be found today, who
did not believe Mrs. Carman was
certain OF acquittal. The. accused
woman herself, and members OF her
family are confident she will leave
the jail by tonight. at least. and
motor to her home. free OF the
charge which has kept her within
the shadow Of the electric chair for
the past three months. The worst
that is predicted for Mrs Carman
|is q disagreement on the part OF the
Jury. Few expect this. District At
torney Smith privately admits he
has little hope of conviction.
Mrs. Carman came through her
cross-examination with colors flying.
The district attorney by sharp.
pressing questions, sought to pic
ture her before the jury as woman
whose jealousy and suspicion was
easily aroused: that she might be
expected to ny into q rage and con-
sequently commit such deed az
the shooting of Mrs. Bailey. while
the woman was In her husbands Of
fice as q patient. Immediately after
ward, however. a paradox was pre-
sented when, through Smiths ques-
tioning, Mrs. Carman declared that
when She slapped the nurse in her
husbands ONCE a couple OF months
before the shooting, II was the pass
ing Of money to the woman that
aroused her--not the fact that the
nurse kissed DIR. Carman on the
cheek. Cool calculation OF whether
the family savings were leaking
away through Dr. Carman giving
money to nurses stirred her more
than did the sight Of another woman
kissing her husband.
