AMERICAN NURSE
ADVISES AGAINST

Tells of Bitter HardShipS En-
dured and Terrific Strain
on Nerves of Even the
Strongest Women,

London, March "a young Ameri-
can woman who volunteered for ser
vice as a Red Cross nurse in Serbia
two months ago has written letters
to friends in London, urging them
against following her example unless
they are sure that their nerves and
physique can stand the strain. "Many
of the volunteer nurses collapse after
a week or two" she says, "and the
strongest of MS are quite certain that
we shall have to give it up after two
or three months or else go mad.

have to inspect 500 fresh cases each

DEMAND 4 TRIAL
Hearing of Indicted Peace
Council Set for Jan. 20.
Claim Sherman Antitrust
Law Doesn't Apply.

Washin gton, Dec. 31.-Former Rep
resentative H. Robert Fowler, Henry
B. Martin and Herman Schulteis, iden-
titled with labors national peace coun-
Gil and indicted in New York under the
Sherman antitrust law, for conspir-
acy to restrain trade in munitions, de-
manded a preliminary hearing when
they appeared today before United
States Commissioner Taylor to make a
formal return to the indictment.
Hearing was set for January 20.
Representative Frank Buchanan of
illinois, indicted on the same charge,
sent word to the department of JUS
tice today that he would waive all
question of immunity, go to New York
as quickly as possible, probably with
in a week, furnish bail and adopt no
dilatory tactics.
The demand for a hearing came as
a surprise to the government. Assist
ant United States Attorney General
Archer announced he had understood
the defendants intended to give bond
for their appearance in New York to
answer to the indictment. Henry E.
Davis for the defendants explained he
did not believe that such an indict-
ment would lie under the Sherman law
or any other law, and that he intended
to ask the commissioner to determine
whether there had been a bona-fide
intent on the part of the government
to charge crime against the United
States.
THE Sherman law was aimed at
the suppression of competition among
traders, while the men named in this
indictment are in no way competitors
with the men whose trade, it is
charged, they were conspiring to inter-
fere WITH said Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Fowler, in person and through
his attorney, former Representative
Robert P. Hill of Illinois. asked that
the hearing be postponed at least
twenty-five days. Bond of $4,000 for
appearance here on January 20 was
required of each of the defendants.

TO DRAFT men
Framing Consumption Bills for
English Cabinet.
Lloyd George Would Include
Married Men, Too.

London, Dec. 31-Rumors that
three mem bers of the cabinet will re-
sign because of their opposition to
consumption, gained wide circulation
today when the ministry met to draft
the governments CONSUMPTION bill.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Regi-
nald McKenna, President of the Board
of Trade Walter Runciman and Sir
John Simon, secretary of state for
home affairs, were the members men
toned.
Resignation of the three ministers
was rumored earlier in the week but
it was reported later that Premier
Asquith's conciliatory efforts had sue
ceeded and that none of the three
would leave the ministry. The reports
were suddenly renewed today and
created a sensation in government
circles.
Thus far there is no confirmation
of the report that Lewis V. Harcourt
has quit the ministry, although the
rumor that he is to become viceroy of
India is credited in many quarters.
Three separate drafts of bills for
mpulSory service were presented at
today's session. They embodied the
views of each faction in the cabinet.
One draft, said to be fathered by Lloyd
George, provided not only for the en-
rollment of unmarried men, but con-
tanned provisions for drafting married
men, should the government find this
step necessary. The other two pro-
posed bills contained less drastic pro-
posals, providing only for the service
of unmarried men.

to the police department from po-
iceman detailed at the plant The
announcement was quickly followed
by a report that several firemen had
been caught beneath a falling wall and
that many were injured. Every avail
able policeman and fireman in the
district was ordered to the fire.
Fire Tugs Help.
More than 100 men syere working in
the plant when the explosion occurred,
according to officials of the company.
The men believed to have been killed
or seriously injured occupied a room
close by the scene of the explosion and
their escape was cut off by the flames.
An hour after the fire started the
firemen were informed that tanks con-
tanning $4,000 gallons of naphtha were
under the burning building. The
plant covers five acres and an official
of the company estimated the stock
on hand as worth a million dollars.
Fire tugs steamed up the Calumet
river and poured tons of water on the
flames.
Stock Yards AfIame.
Property damage estimated at $780,
600 was done by a fire in the Union
stock yards while the firemen were
fighting the South Chicago blaze. The
lire was in a building owned by the
Anglo-American Packing company in
the heart of the stock yards.
Destroyed Four Buildings.
The plant was known as the Cleve-
land Linseed Oil company branch of
the American Linseed company and
consisted of four four-story brick
buildings. The first explosion was in
what was known as the percolator
building. The roof of the building was
blown off and the flames spread to
the other buildings. Officials of the
company said that there were about
35 men employed in the building and
all except eight had been accounted
for.
The initial blast was followed by
smaller explosions as the flames reach
ed different tanks in the Calumet slip.
Beside the plant there were two oil
barges with their tanks loaded. Eff
forts were made to tow the boats out
of danger but one of them caught fire
while it was being hauled to a place
of safety. Burning oil was thrown on
the river by the explosions and the
surface of the water was coated with
flaming oil which threatened to in
terfere with the work of the fire tugs.
The flames demolished the interior of
the four buildings, leaving only the
walls standing.

SHOW At San DIEGO MAKE DARING ESCAPE
French Aviators Knock Out Guard,
Dash Away in Auto.

Geneva, Dec. 31.-Two French avta-
tors, Sergeant Georges Madon and
Corporal Rene Chatelain, who were
informed at Zurich, escaped in a SEN
sational manner to Evain on the
French side of Lake Geneva.
The two aviators obtained permits
sion to take a walk under guard of a
soldier of the Swiss landsturm, named
Wuest, in the vicinity of the place
where they were informed. Accord
ingly they started out, accompanied by
a fox territor who later played part
in the escape. The guard, not sus-
pecting any ruse, led them to a copse
There, according to a prearranged
plan, Charles Beck, a French .territor-
ial soldier on sick leave, whose ac-
quaintance the aviator had made
awaited in civilian clothes with an
automobile. Wuest was stunned,
bound and bundled into the car The
others jumped in after him and
speeded to Ouchy on Lake Geneva by
way of Berne and Friburg.
At Luchy they embarked in an
autoboat previously hired by Beck,
and sailed off under the eyes of a
Swiss gendarme who made no attempt
to stop them, the presence of the fox
terrier leading him to believe that the
men in the boat were civilians. The
trip to French territory was made
without further incident.

Tuberculosis No Longer Leads
in Diseases Reported.
Heart Disease Far in the Lead
of All Others.
BRIGHT'S NEXT IN ORDER
Deaths During the Year in To-
peka Number 500.
This Is a Rate of IS to the 1000
Population.

While the figures are not yet COM
plete the health records for Topeka
for 1915 are going to show that heart
disease is far and away ahead of any
other disease in number of deaths
caused. DR.. H. B. Wood, city physi-
clan, has discovered that much In
bringing together his figures for the
year.
Following heart disease comes
Bright's disease but there is long
streak of daylight between them. Tu-
berculosis has fallen into third place.
The total number of deaths in Topeka
for the year 1915 is 699, which makes
a, death rate of nearly to the thou
sand population. This death rate is
not high but on the other hand it is
not low The death rate for the en-
tire state for 1915 is between nine and
ten to the thousand population
Another peculiar thing that is de-
velOping in the figures being brought
together by DIR. Wood is the fact that
there are fewer deaths among the col
ored people of Topeka in proportion
to the population than among the
whites. DIR. Wood stated today that
the death rate among the colored peo-
pie is not more than one-third of the
rate among the white people There is
something peculiar in that set of fig
uras and DR.. Wood is digging for it.
The standard of living among colored
people is not generally believed to be
as high as among the whites and the
modern physician places a great deal
of stress upon the standard of living;
upon proper food. cleanliness ard gen
eral sanitation.
No Great Change.
There is no great change apparent
in the figures On infectious and cOnta-
gious diseases for 1914 and 1915. Last
year there were 112 cases of diphthe-
ria reported, this year there have been
149. There were 80 cases of scarlet
fever with 43 this year; $50 cases of
chicken pox in 1914 and SO cases this

measles in 1914 and 624 this year; 7
cases of smallpox in 1914 and 43 this
year; 20 cases of typhoid fever in 1914
and 40 cases this year.
DR.. Wood states that while the fig
ures on reported cases indicate an in
crease in these diseases there has
been, as a matter of fact, a decrease.
