DERELicTS.
Out of the dark, into the dark,
We sail at turn of tide;
No charts our vagrant way shall
mark,
No human hand shall guide.
For to some port no man may know
Our phantom course is laid;
And so we drive where no winds
blow,
In ghostly sails arrayed.
No signal lights are ever set,
No man is at the wheel;
But still, when foaming breakers fret,
Some guiding hand We feel.
Ger rock-ribbed reefs We ride our
way
TO open sea, our right:
And dodge the steamships throush
the day,
But haunt their paths by night.
From deep-sea beds the ghost men
rise
To walk our decks once more;
The moon CLEANS in their hollow eyes,
And still they drive us sore.
Until upon our course we lift,
Some gallant ship ahead;
Then through her sides our bows
plunge swift
The sea receives her dead.

All men at the front have been

to produce a certificate are imme-

true OF. men whose certificate shows
that the period Of Immunity resulting
from prior vaccination is about to
expire. So successful has been this
method that on June "a, when the
correspondent visited a lazarett for
contagious cases. the entire Turkish
force on the peninsula had but three
cases of mild enteric fever and none
of typhoid or typhus.
Sick and wounded are never admit

treated in the same tent, even at the

Model Institution.
One of the lazarettes for the sick
visited was model institution Of its
kind, and,< odd TO relate, the lack
of material and other unfavorable
conditions had made it so. :" In it's
former location the. Iazarett had
been bombarded by an allied aviator,
to whom the large white tents had
been welcome target SO the lazar-
cite had to be shifted. Major Jack
Messim, chief physician, then dlscov-
cred that his tentage had suffered
considerably from the aerial BAN bard
ment. The new site of the lazaret
was we'll wooded, and led to the build
ing Of large permanent booths OF pine
timbers and boughs. The boughs on
the roof and sides of the booth DO
not permit the hot sunlight to enter
while giving free access to the breeze,
and the fragrance Of the rosin and
pine needles is a good deodorant. The
old tenting has been converted into
sheets that may be stretched over the
booth in case of rain. 1t is doubt
full whether the sick of any other
army are as we'll situated as those in

Meets Gen. Essad.
About noon Essad Pacha, comman-
der of the third army, and during the
late Balkan war defender of Janina,
was met by the correspondent. GEN
eral Essad is a man of medium height,
slightly gray about the temples, of
dignified, military appearance, and
courteous demeanor.
THE situation here at Ari Burnu
and Sid-el-Bahr is very favorable"
he said. THE British and French
have been obliged to assume the de-
fensive, which, 1 should say is not
what they landed for. We hope to get
them out and before long. The allies
have come to respect the bayonets of
our soldiers"
Essad Pacha then recounted what
some of the British prisoners thought
of the mighty bayonet charges by the
Turks. Most of them did not like
the experience.
II admit there is something I'M
cany in men rushing a trench silently
with bayonets fixed. Noise has a
stimulating effect at times while it's
absence acts in an opposite direction"
he said.
British Aeroplane Drops Bombs.
The afternoon was made interesting
by a visit from a British aeroplane
which dropped three large bombs.
Throughout the day the sniping
from both trenches continued. A
Turkish battery on the British left
flank added to the picture by taking
a pot shot at some part of the OPP
ponents' trenches. The British pieces
on land did not reply for some time,
but finally were also heard from No

Best Of Hospitals.
Ismes Bey cares for all the severely
wounded Of the Turkish Avi BournOu
group. His hospital is probably one
of the best to be found anywhere. Its
booths and tents are located under tall
pine trees and are we'll kept. The beds.
though none too comfortable, perhaps
are scrupulously clean and the we'll
being of the patients is promoted by
having men from the working re-
serves keep the flies from them with
white clothes fastened to long, thln
poles. The construction of the booths
does not permit ely proofing ana
good ventilation at the same time,
and since the tanning against the lies
also tends to keep the men cool, Cap
tain Isnes Bey, decided upon the
method of fly-cnasing employed.
Ismes Bey belongs to the class OF
surgeons who believe that pleasant
environment helps, the patient to
speedy recovery With this in view
he has caused flowers to be planted
where the patients can see them.
Parts of his forest hospital remind
one of a well-kept rustic garden.
Good care is given even the walks.
Most of them had to be cut into the
steel hillside. They were then care
fully reverted and covered with grav-
Ell from the neighboring Dardanellos.
Only Severely Wounded.
In the Ismes Bey hospital only Sc
verely wounded are received. The op-
Grating room is a large tent WITH
wooden floor, is fly proof and the
dust is guarded agaist by keeping the
ground nearby constantly sprinkled.
The medical staff Of Ismes Bey is
probably one Of the best in the field
It's members are young men with
training and experience gained in
Germany and France. Their work is
quick and thorough, as watching
number of operations and amputa
tons seemed to indicate. Extracting
large shell splinter from the upper
arm Of a soldier, an operation which
necessitated the splitting q Of the
muscle to the bone, took less than ten
minutes, for instance.
When a severely wounded patient
has become "transportable,' he is
shipped to one Of the city hospitals.
Ismes Bey hospital loses only from
three to four per cent. Of cases in
which operation has been necessary.
The total loss Of all cases is from
seventeen to eighteen per cent, many
of the severely wounded dying shortly
before or during the operation.

TURKISH WOUNDED
WELL CARED FOR
Health Of Troops at Gallipoh and
DardanelleS Fronts Is Good

correspondence of the Associated Press)
Constantinople, August 11.-The
health of the Turkish troops at the
Galipo1i and Dardanelles fronts is
good and the wounded from these
theaters of war are we'll cared Tor. 10
this NAV be added that the Turkish
medical staff has shown much re-
sourcefulness and that the occasional
NAUGHTY of materials and medicaments
is met in a spirit one would not eX-
pect to find in an organization OF
which so little good was said during
the late Balkan war. The capacity of
the hospitals inspected by the ASSOC
lated Press correspondent is over
5000.
Camp hygiene is we'll administered
in the Ottoman army. Trenches WIS.,
tied were found to be scrupulouSly
clean. The food of the men is we'll
cooked and care is taken that none
but good water is drunk by the men.
Every effort is made to keep the
clothing of the men free from vermln
and to facilitate this rctorts, in which
infested clothes may be baked or dis
infected, are built wherever they are
needed. Great ingenuity has been
displayed in this. AS rule, the re-
tort is nothing more than largeAoie
in some convenient hillside, similar
to a bakeoven. It's floor Is paved
with brick or field stone, and under
this two other holes are dug for the
fire that is to heat the retort. The
construction is extremely simple ,and
not a single piece of iron is used II
it. Even the door of the retort is
generally a large rock.
Eatrines in Excellent State.
In the camps visited all latrines
were found in an excellent state. Lime
was being used as a dsinfectant, be-
cause other chemicals can not be
had in Turkey at present. To combat
the fly pest messes and kitchens are
placed so that air currents can sweep
through them. This method is not as
effective as screening, but screens
are hard to get in Turkey. 1t may
be said in this connection that the
experience of the Turkish troops on i
the Gallipoli peninsula with flies
has been a most trying one, bus
that, so far, the fly has not proven
as great an agent of disease as has
been charged in other parts of the
world. 1t is thought, however, that 1
this is largely due to the fact that
the Turkish soldier gets very little

Wounds are examined and dressed at

Lightly wounded are marked with q

Severely wounded have a similar tic

ceptlon Of foot wounds the lightly
wounded are required to walk to the
field hospital. To the base hospital
they are carried in ordinary escort
wagons. Severely wounded are car
ried to the field hospitals in an am
bulance, known as the "Brussa" am
bulance, which has almost complete
ly displaced the American ambulances
formerly used in the Turkish military
service. The attention given the Sc
verely wounded at the field stations
covers mediate needs only.
Bears Pain Heroically.
The Turkish soldier is not very sus-
ceptible to pain. He gives little
trouble when wounded, and his almost
extraordinary frugality makes him a
patient who is easily cared for. Med
ical men are of the opinion that the
total abstinence of most Turkish SOL
diers reduces the possibility Of wound
infections lessen the shock susceptible
ity and aids in the recovery of the pa
tient.
Ultimately all severely wounded are
brought to Constantinople, where
about q score Of well-appointed hos
pitfalls are being maintained. Those
visited by the Associated Press cor
respondent left little to be desired.
These HOSPITALS have every modern
accessory of surgery, such as "N'-ray
department., plants for the steriliza-
ton of dressing materials and labor
atories. Patients in whom the wound
has caused q temporary paralyzation
of motor nerves and muscles are sent
to one of the many mineral baths in
Turkey, and recently an institution for
electro tn eurap etical treatment has
been opened for the benefit of inval-
id soldiers.
1t is admitted even BY the Turkish
army surgeons that their service was
a total failure during the late Balkan
war That, however, cannot be said
of the work now done by the medical
depa rtment. Surprising as such a
statement must be, 1t is claimed that
so far only two cases of tetanus have
developed as the result of the CALI
poll campaign. A statement as to the
total of casualties cannot be made at
this time, because if there is one
thing upon which reliable figures calf
not be had from Turkish official
sources it is information as to MEM
bers of any sort affecting the Turkish
forces in the field.
