Receiving the Wounded.

LoEg trains of wounded keep rolling into the La Chapitre station of the Care du Nord; train ofter train, even after the fiercest fighting of Cham pagne has occurred, for the ebb and flow of the struggle keeps going on with its steady yield Of maimed and stricken soldiers. The French govern ment gave the correspondent facilities the other day to see this procession of incoming trains. and the methods era- pIoyed for promptly handling this enormous daily thrush of human freight requiring the most immediate and delicate attention.
 La Chapitre is the station in the most northeastern section of Paris. nearest the fighting line. 65 miles away. and is the natural point for these trains from the front to empty into Paris Here the trains of wound cd averaged 26 a day. with 200 to 300 wounded on each train, even after the luIl in the fighting, or from 5000 to T,se0 wounded to be cared for daily. When the fighting was fiercest these figures were far exceeded, and one of the officers stated 4i,o00 wounded had been received in four days. and added

the remarkable fact that only two out
 of the 41.o0o had died in transit
 The platforms to which these trains
 of wounded roll up. are all thoroughly organized for fast and systematic
 work. Near at hand is a huge kitch-
 en which can furnish 4,000 meals on
 short notice, so that the wounded may
 immediately receive hot tea and sus-
 tenanee. There are many cooks and scores of nurses ready to carry dozens Of meals packed in wicker baskets.
 Twelve surgeons are on duty to give
 first aid in pressing case, though this station is not for treatment of the
 wounded 1t is merely to receive and distribute them to the hospitals in Paris or in central or southern France. A train of wounded from the front
 had just come in as the inspecting party arrived under government es- cort Some fifty ambulances were drawn up on the platform ready to re- eeive the wounded men, and already the an1bulances were well filled and moving off to the various hospitals. Each ambulance received six, two tiers Of three, the filters sliding on groves into their places in the ambulances. Only a roll of yellow blanket appeared face. but usually the heads were cov- cred seeking complete quiet. There was no complaint; no groans.

 men came from the trains they were on their way to the hospitals.
 Occasionally some case needed spec ial attention. One red-bearded peas
 ant soldier, well along in years, was l ashen pale as he was rolled by in an invalid chair to receive the care of surgeons. Another young soldier was
 laughing as his chair rolled by, to as- | sure tho visitors that his wound was slight. Most of the men, the doctors.
 said, were only slightly wounded, and
 there were not the narrowing scenes
 as when trains bearing the desperately wounded empty Into La Chapelle.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A "Reminiscences.

Mr. Editor:-After thoroughly scam ming the columns of Saturdays Bulle- tin. imbibing the morals and philos- opfly of The Man Who Talks. and reading the doings of fifty years ago which. by the way. are more than in lows who are still on earth. my eye chanced to light on that part of your paper devoted to New London news. This brought to mind the days when New London was caught mapping and left her court house out of doors over night only to find it missing the next morning. It had gone to Norwich on raft conveyed by the tugboat We'll ington and escorted by select com mittee of O. D. Ones. When I read the tale of woe as related by your correspondent reciting the manner in which the medical politicians had put it all over the tax payers of New Lon- don, my heart went out in sympathy to the said taxpayers, but kcould not refrain from mentally exclaiming, you have left your courthouse out again and this time Dr. Black and not Nor wich citizens has done the trick.
 If the citizens, taxpayers and par ents of children in the city by the sea had kept their eyes on Norwich for several years past or had read the Norwich papers rather than vaccine farm literature they would have pro- fitted greatly, and easily learned that there is more than one side to >this compulsory medicine question. They also could have seen that in the main but a myth and that Norwich .citi- gems have fully realized that they are amply able to feed, ciothe and care for their children in health and sick ness. Hence we have declined most emphatically to pay out our good

Stories of the War
Finding Missing Soldiers.

The Aid for German Prisoners of War" an organization with headduar- ters at Frankfort Main and in Hamburg, to which every other sim liar organization in Germany is suh- ordinate, has, since its formation last year, definitely and accurately deter mined the fate of thousands of Ger man soldiers.
 The association at Frankfort em- ploys some 75 paid workers and countless volunteers, and has reduced the finding of missing soldiers almost to an exact science
 Just as the war ministry in Berlin maintains an elaborate and now enor- nous card catalogue of the prisoners of war now interned sn Germany. so the association keeps card catalogues of Germans who have been made pris- oners, and of those reported as miss ing. It issues minute instructions showing relatives just how they can get into touch with members of their families who are imprisoned, how they can send them money and pack ages, and keeps them informed as to the prisoners state of health and gen. eral condition.
 In specific cases the association un- dertakes to make inquiries for reia- from her husband in four weeks tii imprisoned in England or France, ol in two months (if prisoner in Rus sia) the organization will attempt through it's agent at the camp where the husband last was reported as g prisoner. to find out why he has ceas- ed writing.
 The association publishes excellent maps of France and Russia on which each known prison camp, civil and military, is marked in red ink. In con- junction with the Russian map is $ printed list of the camp, with tht name of each in Russian script as wei as Latin letters.
 The government has, from time tS time, come to the financial assistance of the association. but the latter'i work in the main has neen<caFried or by private, subscriptions. A consider. able sum has been raised In Frank. fort by the popular Iron Eagle meth. cd. that Is by subscriptions from tht public in return for nails to drive iIl- to a monster wooden eagle.

THE NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN.

Although it may be a question of dollars and cents rather than the rights of humanity and the safeguard ing of life, the note which has been placed with the British government de- nands that the rights of this coun- try as a neutral be respected. This country protests against the establish nent of a blockade of neutral ports, the holding up of American vessels bound thereto and their confiseation because it is action not warranted by law. Advantage is being taken of the ciFcums to injure American bus mess with neutral countries because of belief that such goods may ultimate ly get into the hands of the belliger- ents, instead of carrying on a legal blockade.
 When Great Britain stops American trade with neutral ports because it appears to be larger than normal. re- gardless of the fact that those coun- tries are forced to buy in other than their regular markets because of the war. and then proceeds to supply those demands itself. with the chances equal that its goods will get to the bellig- erents as quickly as those of this coun- try. it presents a situation which calls for a protest.
 The stand which has been taken in the note has not been reached without full consideration of the circumstances and the rights of all concerned. It is proper that law and not expediency should rule in this case the same as with Germany and it's submarine pol- icy. The note is a friendly one, with the position of this country clearly defined. It leaves no opportunity for misunderstanding what this country is insisting upon and as champion of neutral rights. this country as a neu- trai Is performing it's duty.

DANGEROUS CONCEPTIONS.

Every now and then there are held conventions and other meetings, the purpose of which is to aid in the con- servation of human life. It seems irn- possible that they should not make the widespread appeal which they are Intended to. For the time being, at least, it is probable that they cause a certain number to give serious thought to the subject and institute needed re- forms, but when lofty buildings in large cities continue to have fires caus- ing large loss of life in each instance, regardless of the glaring lessons which have preceded them. it is question whether those who most need the en- lightenmeut are receiving it.
 The death of a dozen employees in 8 Brooklyn factory and the injuries to many of the others reveals a sit- uation which ought not to have exist ed when it is found that the build ing had not been equipped according to the direction of the authorities and especially when a means of escape which had been provided for just such T contingency was rendered useless and made a trap by keeping the door closed and locked.
 The revelations which have been made following. the Brooklyn fire show that there was serious negligence both on the part of the authorities and the owners, for nothing effective had been done to urge a compliance with re- quireInents which had been insisted upon months before and the owner was delaying the work. regardless oi the orders. It appears to be a case like many others where laws and reg ulations amount to nothing unless en- forced and in the meantime human life !s being sacrificed as the penalty fo. other peoples negligence.

 snt time is the extension of humane education. It should find a place in the scheme of education adopted by every commonwealth Our children need instruction In conduct, In consid- eration for others and in those finer courses and arts which so to make life and character worth while. If humane education were taught for ten years in all the schools of this coun- try. it would not make Americans less patriotic. but it would make them vastly better citizens. with deeply in- grained respect for the rights of others, and thorough conviction Of the duty of justice to the helpless and of a liv- ing practical righteousness in per sonaI conduct.'
 There is no question but what pr. StilIman has taken a sound view of the situation. Every day shows the need for better humane education. The idea is good one.

A WISE DECISION.

Down in Pennsylvania there is the same aversion to grade crossings that there is in other states, and the same demand for their elimination, but as 1t is everywhere else, such work costs money and it is possible to do only a certain amount of it each year. This means that there is always something waiting to be done in this line and with that in mind 1t is not surprising that the public service commission of that state has turned down the peti- tion for the right to build another spur track across a much used highway at grade.
 When a state is working for the abolishing of grade crossings and pro- gross is aggravatingIy slow because of the great amount of work that is involved, 1t is poor policy to con- tinue to add to the number of dan gerous crossings Little is to be gain ed by removing those in one section of the state and creating others which will be just as dangerous if not more so in another locality.
 If grade crossings are going to be abolished, t is necessary to block the building of new ones, for if favors are going to be extended in one instance they must be rendered, in all fair ness, in others, and once such a pol icy is begun there is no telling where 1t will end. The one sensible thing to do is just what the Pennsylvania com mission has done and that is the de- nial of all such petitions. The time is coming when such crossings would have to be eliminated and that being the case 1t is far preferable that the work should be done now before another death trap is created It can be done at less expense now and it will be an effective step for safety.

HUMANE EDUCATION.

To the home must the child look for . large share of its education and ye. there are homes which do not moas- ure up to their responsibilities in n great many instances. It is because of the failure of parents to do their part that th6 obligations have to be aa- guJned by others for the good of tlA comn1unity and tho commonwealth, and In recognition thereof 1t is not surprising that new demands for sdu- cational work are constantly being urged.
 With the existing amount Of atten- tion which is being given to the pro- veuttdn Of cruelty to children and animals. it is not surprising that Dr, William o. stillman, president of the American Humane association, should declare in addressing the annual con- velation at St. Augustine: T believe that the most important problem which ecnfxouts -iunaanitnzsans at the pres-

THE COMING CONGRESS-

Consideration is already being given to the length of the coming session Of congress. It isn't always the length of the session which determines the quality of the omplishments, but it is necessary that whatever is done should be done right and not hustled through or dragged out without regard to what is at stake.
 The coming session of congress is going to be one of much importance. There are many important questions which will be brought before 1t for a decision and they should get the care- full and thoughtful consideration that they deserve. There are too many in stances of pushing through laws with out regard to what they mean or what detrimental features are involved therein and with such matters az proper preparation for the nations de- fense, a modification of, the seamen's act, the need of greater revenue and the advisability of readjusting the ex- isting tariff schedules to conform to the needs of the country, to say noth- ing of the many other matters which will be presented for action. there is need of legislation of the best type. Nothing should be Allowed to stand in the way of a thorough examination of all the. country's woes and action to relieve them as soon as possible.
 The fact that long session is not restrained by limit does not call for action being strung out indefinitely. It does not mean that there should be delay in getting down to business, but, as at any session, there should be a. disposition to face the situation without prejudice. settle down to the task at hand and give the country the benefit of sane and sensible legisla- ton. There has been enough of the half baked variety and no more is wanted.

With the legitimate application of the police power of the state for the protection of the pub lie health by wise and humane sani- tary measures, we have no contro- versy but when the power is prostitut- ed to base, selfish and unworthy ends. when its minions invade the domain of private medical opinion and prac- tice and attempt to coerce the public into acceptance of obnoxious and per- nicious medical theories. when it fore es upon protesting citizens medical measures that destroy health, and cause disease. physical degeneration and death we think it time to rebel.

Like Connecticut, Ohio prefers local option to state prohibition, and voted for 1t overwhelmingly at the late cleo ton. Local option Is of several vari- cites according to the prevailing sen- timent of the section where 1t pre- vails. In Connecticut the towns de- eide the matter for themselves, but in Ohio the system fs countrywide. In Connecticut. where we have but eight counties, and population is compara- lively dense, the town system works well; but in Ohio. with SS counties and a population very much more scattered in most of the state, the ex- isting system seems to fit the condi- tions better.
