WOUNDED REMAIN
ON BATTLEF|ELDS
COUNTLESS THOUSANDS LEFT
WOUNDED ON FIELD OF BAT
TIE IN EUROPE.
Nurses and Surgeons Needed, Ae-
cordlna to National Director Of
American Red Cross, Who Has
Returned From War Zone.

New York.-The number OF wound
ed In battle In Europe is already In
the hundreds OF thousands. The hos
pitfalls OF Paris and Berlin and cot
tages on the battlefields are filed
and many other wounded lie exposed
in trenches. according to Ernest p.
Bicknell. national director OF the
American Red Cross. who arrived
here Wednesday on the steamship
Olympic from Liverpool Mr.. Bick-
nell. who left New York on the bat
tleship Tennessee. the American YES
sci which carried gold TO Americans
In need In Europe, spent several
weeks observing conditions In the
countries at war.
Official reports give little definite
information OF the losses, but the
number OF wounded Is already in the
hundreds Of thousands" Mr.. Bicknell
said. The truth Is that over the
thousands Of square miles already
battle swept there have been left al
most countless thousands of men
helpless from CHASTITY wounds. Some
have been gathered into trains by the
Red Cross surgeons and nurses and
taken to hospitals In the larger cities
Into Paris and Berlin thousands have
already been taken and one by one
the hospitals have been filed, public
and private buildings have been util
lied for the wounded, but still the
numbers increase.
Some Of the wounded we're taker
into cottages on the. battlefelds ant
into the churches. but still there ar,
thousands who lie in the trenches
and In the neld, suffering from thirs
and exposure.
Let no man imagine the Ameri
can Red Cross can do too much o
enough. Nurses and surgeons ar
need more and more, and also med
teal and hospital supplies"

PEACE EFFORTS OF
WILSON ABANDONED
PRESIDENT DOES NOT INTENC
TO THRUST GOOD OFFICES
UPON BELLiGERENTS.
10 5ldIng His Time, Hoping That a.
War Progresses Some Definite
steps viii Be Taken Which
May Lead to Peace Terms.

Washington.-Effor OF the United
States government to bring about
peace In Europe practically are at
standstill, according to White House
and state department officials.
President Wilson, 1t is known. is en-.
deavoring scrupulously to avoid
thrusting the good offices OF the
United States upon any OF the bel
ligerents at an inopportune time, feel
ing that the spirit OF resentment
which possibly would result might
produce unpleasant after effects for
American policies and unnecessarily
entangle the United States in the In
tricacies of European diplomacy.
The president Is biding his time,
hoping that as the war progresses
and its cost is impressed upon the ma
lions, some definite step will be tax
en- by one OF the belligerents which
will enable the United States to help
make peace.
There was a distinct feeling OF sat
isfaction nero over the attitude OF
this government among diplomatists
representing the allied powers. While
making no formal comments on the
subject. they could not conceal the
view that the time was not ripe fol
peace discussions. The object of the
allies to crush Germany in decisive
fashion is more and more reflected
each day by their diplomatists here
