TROOPS FROM TROPICS
SUFFERING FROM COLD
Fortitude of Wounded Senegalese
Wins Admiration of Hospital
Attendants.

LONDON, December 21-Troops from
the tropics are suffering intensely from
the cold, in their positions in the Bel

of the French wounded emergency
fund, who has just returned from a
visit to the French hospitals at Havre,
Lisieux. BaycuX. Deauville and other
points. tells of the suffering of the SOL
diers from the tropics. She says also
that many of the hospitals are badly
in need of anesthetics, tetanus serum,
surgical instruments and surgeons.
IN one hospital ] saw Senegalese
operated upon without the use of an
anaesthetic.' said Mrs. Floyd. Their
toes had been frozen and immediate
amputation was necessary.
"All the toes of one Senegalese were
removed without even a groan from
him. Suddenly he leaped from the
operating table and began searching
for something. The doctors and nurses
could not discover what he wanted.
He found a pipe, filled it and lay
down, smoking to deaden the pain.
Then he began to pray in a low voice.
Presently a nurse offered to bring
luncheon to him, but he refused He
walked to the convalescent's table,
where he ate with his friends"

member of the Senate naval affairs
committee, declared himself in favor
Of four new battleships and a regular
army of 100000 officers and men.
Senator Thornton has always been a
champion of an adequate army and
navy. He said:
Il presume that no American would
take the position that he would will
ingly or knowingly do anything to inn
peril or weaken the national defense.
Il stand now where l have stood
from the beginning, with those who
think the best security against for
eign aggression is the maintenance in

navy. the two bulwarks of our national
defense.
This is no new idea with me, born
of fears created by the European war,
