London, Sept. 17.-Through efforts
of the War Office, $50 military hos
pitfalls have been organized in Great
Britain. These have been arranged in
groups and each has an administra-
tive center. Practically all the sick
and wounded returning from the con-
tinent are received at Southampton,
and from there those whose condi
ton is most serious are sent to Royal
Victoria Hospital, Netley, and the
others are distributed where their
cases can be handled to the best adj
vantage.
Rheumatism. brought on by expos
ure makes the condition Of some of
the injured very pitiful.
Some typhoid has been reported
among British soldiers in the field.
Sir William Osler's suggestion that
the American armys plan OF innocu-
lating all soldiers against typhoid be
adopted is generally supported by the
press.

Most Romantic, ORA

SOde in Modern War
Associated Press Correspondence


London, Sept. 1.-THE most ro-
mantle, dramatic and piquant episode
that modern war can show" says a
naval lieutenant in describing an Ell
sode in the Heligoland fight. His let
ter reads:
The Defender, having sunk an
enemy, lowered a whaler to pick up
her swimming survivors; before the
whaler got back an enemy's cruiser
came up and chased the Defender,
and thus she abandoned her whaler.
Imagine their feelings: alone in an
open boat without food, % miles from
the nearest land, and that land the
enemys fortress, with nothing but fog
and foes around them. Suddenly a
swirl alongside, and up, if you please

true! Magnificent, indeed, and it is
