London, Aug. 1S.-Whether the great
war now devastating Europe is des-
tined to last for years, as Napoleon
predicted, or only for matter of
months, the military operations on
land between England, France, BeIg-
ium, Russia, Seryia, and Montenegro
on one side, and Germany and Austria
Hungary on the other will take place
in three "theaters of war" the west
ern theatre where England, France,
and Belgium will meet the hordes of
Germans, the eastern theatre where
Russia, Austria, and Germany will
meet in battle, and the southern thea
tire, where up to now only the Servians
and Austrians have been engaged, but
where Russia may take a hand if her
troops get by the Germans.
Forts Along the Frontiers.
All Of these war theatres, which is
how they are designed in military par
lance are hemmed in on all sides by
cordons of Notifications. France, Ger
many, and Russia have, since the
Franco-Prussian war in 1870, for the
most part, built strings of forts all
along their frontiers. 1t was the Bel
gian forts at Liege that gave such q
shock to the Germans and caused the
kaiser's troops first to pause, and then
fall back, leaving thousands of their
dead on the field. All over Europe
there are groups of such Notifications.
where there is bound to be desperate
and sanguinary fighting.
These Notifications, classified ac-
cording to the nations by which they
are owned are situated as follows:
France.
Following the war of 1870, France
constructed several groups of perman-
ent Notifications, parallel to and two
days march from the frontier, the
Moselle group extending from Belfort
to Epinal; the Meuse group, between
Toul and Verdun; another group from
Epinal to Toul, and a group extending
between Longwy and Montmedy.
In addition to these forts, the French
border in the south is closed by forti-
fcations at Langres, Besancon, and
Dion. Besides these France has am
pie Notifications at Briancon, Lille,
Bayonne, Brest, Donali and Grenohle.
Around these forts would take place
the decisive fighting of the Franco

The entire coast of Great Britain is
protected by Notifications, but it is
scarcely within the range Of possibility
that with the huge English feet on the
sea, there will be any land fighting in

HORRORS OF WOUNDS IN MODERN WAR;
BELGIUM SCIENTIST GIVES AWFUL DATA

By James Walsh, NJ. D., Phi. D., Sc. D.
New York, Aug. 18.-The eyes of the
fedical and surgical world are fixed on
the awful problems involved in proper
ly caring for the immense number OF
wounded removed from the battlefelds
of Europe. The new arms and new
bullets have added to the destructive
ness of war, but have multiplied t he
surgeons problems, and have made
military surgery special study for
which, fortunately for humanity, there
is not much experience provided.
Prof. Octave Laurent, who spent
eleven months campaigning with the
Bulgarian armies during the recent
war in the Balkans, has just published
the story of his surgical experiences,
and from this some idea of the grew
some work before the military surg
cons of Europe can be obtained, al
though probably even this fails to give
any adequate notion of the surgical ex-
periences that will be forced upon the
army surgeons.
No Lessons in Civil Surgery.
Prof. Laurent declares that ordinary
civil surgery furnishes no real train
ing for modern military surgery, and
that the surgeon must literally train
himself and do the best he can.
The experiences in the Balkans was
that there were about four wounded
for every soldier killed. The wounds
are usually inflicted by the ordinary
infantry arm, while most of the dead
are killed by the artillery.
About three out of four soldiers
wounded by the infantry survive. Near
ly three out Of four of those wounded
by the artillery have fatal wounds in
flicted
Deadly Work of Artillery.
More than one-half of the fatal in
juries in tn Balkan campaign came
from the artillery. Out of 100 killed
and wounded II would be killed by
shrapnel, Is to 20 wounded by shrap-
nel killed by the infantry and some
60 to 65 wounded.
According to the old proverb, it still
takes, in spite Of the modern training
of soldiers, at least so far as the ex-
perience in the Balkans went, a mans
weight in lead to kill him. Many mil
lions of balls were fired for the thous-
ands wounded and killed.
Modern high-velocity projectiles
make very different wounds from the
old musket balls, and even very differ

SOCIAL INFLUENCE OF A RURAL CLUB WITHOUT A SOCIAL
 CENTER
By Mrs. LOU c. WooLERY


 "What can we do socially? We've no social center. We are not en- titled to a school house, and very few are willing to undertake the work of establishing a social center.'
 Reflecting upon the Encouragement thus voiced and seeking a solution of the problem for my friend, I was impressed by the insistent recur- renee to my mind of this question: Why insist on a social center?"
 Why, indeed? We do not expect to gather fruit until the vine has matured We do not expect the vine to grow until the seed is planted ana properly cultivated. Nor do we ex- pect the seed to take root, or even to be planted, until the soil is ready. The social center is the fruit of long, hard labor and natural growth. AS the experienced agriculturist, even before he has prepared the soil, may have a mental picture of the fruit he will gather: so may you, my friend. and I see ahead the fruit We long for tine social center.

Club registers, both in the city and the country, record the names of many visitors during the season, Many remain in Phoenix and become members of clubs. but it is seldom that in the short space of a year on organizes and becomes presi- dent of a Federated club. This IS what Mrs. Lou c. Woolery of the Ramona club has done in her twelve months residence in Phoenix. During her. school days she was always prominent in affairs of the student hcdy. presiding at it's meetings and organizing clubs for girls. Her first real Woman's club work was in the Tombstone Womans club, of which she is a charter member.
 Tt was in Tucson in 1910, when representing the Tombstone club m state federation that I received my greatest and last impression" said Mrs. Woolery recently, in discussing ~omen's organizations. It was my first glimpse of the great organiza- tion of women that is doing so much good, and l shall never lose the ef feet of the inspiration received. That experience opened to me the wonder ful sphere of woman's work"
 Mrs. Woolery is particularly inter- ested in practical things education. conversation. civics-and this can be noted in the way the subjects are emphasized in the program outlined for the Ramona club this season. or ganized last spring, the club is all ready reckoned a strong factor in the Arizona Central District Federation, and will no doubt make itself felt power in the state federation con vention to be held in Phoenix in Jam uary.

CLUB NOTES

fruit develops from a seed that IS dropped on fertile soil, unknown 70 man. So may the social center come as a natural result of doing each thing as it presents itself. without any special thought of the result un- til it IS near at hand.
 A neighboring club has it's social center. How easy it seemedi But we outside do not know the steps that have led to this success. Rest assured, the process has not been a magic one. There is no magic out side of fairy tales. All good things are the results of perfectly natural processes.
 What can be done socially by the club that has no social center and no apparent hope of one?
 The seed of brotherly love must be planted in the soil of the human heart. It has been said that the social center exists first in the heart" True, and the real one is always there. This material social oenter-this thing we so long for
