CHILD AS NURSE
 TO WAR VICTIMS

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 1S.-Tired and worn by several months Of try Ming experiences in the eastern part of the European war zone, Mrs. Pauline Dra1nin and her 13-year-old daugh- ter, Esther, arrived in the city last evening. They reached New York Tuesday on the steamship Stampalia from Naples after spending several months in Tarnow, Austria-Hungary. Both had endured much and had thrilling experiences when the Rus sian army had invaded Qalicia and they spoke of their impressions of the titanic struggle that is taking place on the Russian frontier. Both had served with the% Red Cross for five weeks and Miss Esther has the | distinction of having been the young est Red Cross nurse in the service in that section.
 As they sat in their home on Worthington street last. evening they showed the strain of the trying eR- per1enceS through which they had gone since they left this city last sum ner. Both were too tired to give any detailed account of the great l struggle between the armies in the eastern theatre of the war, but their
 brief statements gave some idea of conditions in the GaHcian villages
 along the frontier. Little Miss, Dra-
 min said that there was lighting three miles from Tarnow and that the place l WeS COnV0TLSQ 1nLO a large hospital for the wounded who were brought in.
 1 She said that when Russian prison CTS were escorted into that place she l and her mother offered them hot cof- fee, but the Russians knocked the cups from their hands, saying they would accept nothing from Austrians. She said the Russians offered a nov el sight as they were marched be- tween columns of Austrians into the city and later to the concentration camps. They looked tired and their, uniforms showed that they had silf- fered much from the constant fight ing. There were lots and lots of Russians among the wounded she
 said, and for many weeks the people of the city were busy attending them i When the wounded soldiers were
 brought into Tarnow the girl said l both she and her mother were called
 upon to act as nurses, and for five
 weeks the two dressed the wounds of
 soldiers in the Red Cross hospitals
 There were so many wounded, she | stated, that almost all the large pub 1 lie buildings were converted into hos
 pftals They were given the best of
 care and treatment, although many
 were so badly wounded that they did
 not live long to, enjoy the comforts
 that had been provided for them They left Tarnow for Naples after it
 was possible to travel through the E Balkan country and arrived in that
 city more than two weeks ago They
 were on board the StampaIia for 1 4 days and suffered much on account Of ) the poor provisioning of the ship. As
 they were eating supper last eyening they volunteered the statement that it was the first square meap' they l had had in months

 CHANGED BY WAR

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 London, Nov. 13--t9ngl1sh matters this fall are offering no fedoras with the bow at the back. Neither are the soft hats and derbies with feathers in the band among the fall offerings. The bow at the back of the hat was a fancy originated by Austria and the feather idea also came from Vienna Consequently English dealers will have no more of those particular styles.
