A Note from DR.. Fasola.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: My attention is just called to
a notice published in your newspaper
where my name is mentioned IN con-
nection with statement of mine re-
lating to the neutral position of Italy
in the European war. As mention of
my brothers name is made in connec-
ton with the matter. want absolutely
TO deny that my brother ever was or is
secretary of one of the Italian Sec
Ietaries of State. Ny brother is one
Of the wealthiest cotton manufacturers
in Lombardy, and has no political con-
nection whatever. Ny information
comes from a political friend of mine
very high up in the Italian government,
and as the information is absolutely
confidential his name will never be
mentioned in newspaper news.

HOW LIVES WERE SAVED
What Ambulances Did for Subway
Victim,-The City's Duty.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune was considerable
enough to notice the untiring zeal and
patience of the three telephone opera
tors at the Polytechnic Hospital when
it's office and reception rooms were
packed with the great crowd OF anx-
ious or curious visitors who followed
the ambuances loaded with the VIC
tins Of the subway disaster. Our
Mayor is reported in the press as com
plimenting in the highest terms, and
deservedly so, the heroic conduct of
the firemen and the police, but so far
have read nothing Of the extraordi-
nary service performed by the ambu-
lance corps and the medical staff and
nurses of the Polytechnic Hospital.
Within less than one hour some sew
onty persons, number unconscious
from suffocation or shock, were trans
ported 10 this hospital, and all saved
with one exception--the unfortunate
woman who was dead when carried out
of the subway. When the public wards
were filed the private rooms were
utilized with extra cots and beds, until
all were comfortably cared for. Thirty
doctors responded TO the urgency call,
and their prompt arrival without
doubt saved a number OF those practi-
cally overcome by the inhalation OF
poisonous gases.
This disaster emphasizes the neees-
sity of numerous relief stations for
ambulance and emergency work, each
station 10 be near the centre of its
district, so that the haul may be as
short as possible. The City of New
York should equip and operate these
stations, leaving to the hospitals of the
district the sole duty of furnishing the
doctors and nurses and of caring for
the patients brought to the hospital.

that there was suicide compact between the Poes
and that Poe also intended to do away with himself.
