The people from the cities,
who have summer homes here
are getting them ready for oc-
cupancy. Some are here now
and things are beginning to
liven up. We have just return

practice at Fort Mckinley.

target practice mibht interest
some of the Herald readers. We

Fort Mckinley is situated on
an island called Great Diamond

there in the summer. Now ev-
erything is green and frest and
the air is perfumed from the
blossoms on the trees. But des-
pite all that, we were glad to
get back to good old Fort Will
liams, here we can hear a con-
cert nearly every day. Our
Chaplain Samuel ]. Smith
is giving us a lecture entitled,
Japan from Yokohama to

Miss Place will sing The Holy
City, both song and lecture will
be fully illustrated. Vesper
services follow Immediately
after the lecture, besides the
soldiers here at Fort Williams,
there are many people from
civilian life who come from
Portland, Maine, to hear our
chaplain lecture. We have
similar lectures every Sunday,
given by chaplain Smith. He
has travelled extensively and
certainly knows what he is talk
ing about. Also he has been in
actual service.
We thank you Blue Eyed Girl
for noticing the little piece we
wrote before and hope you will
like this one. l wish that Blue
Eyed Girl would write me a
personal letter and tell me
something about Tennessee.
If she would I would consider
it great favor. She can have
my address by asking for it at
the Herald Office. 1t is a great
pleasure to read the Putnam
County Herald, and it comes to
us every Tuesday, we look for
ward to Tuesday as a sort Of

President Gilmore and the man.
ayers of the Federal league are lay
ing plans for a new foray on the stars
of organized baseball The third
league executive has been in COM
munication with every pilot in the
league to arrange the raids. The lat
eet session was with Manager Tinker
of the Whales, yesterday in New
York. Joe says he was given carte
blanche so far as spending money is
concerned, and the league as a whole
will finance the attack.
It is probable the raid will be post
poned until winter, as the contracts
of many of the organized stars ex-
pire this fall. The winter stove
league stuff will make the Federal
league or consign it to the position of
an average minor. If some of the
best players can be convinced that
the Federals are here to stick, the
league will get a full crew, if it is
willing to pay salaries.
All efforts will be concentrated to-
ward urging one recognized star to
hop and other fellows will follow his
lead. That was proved two years ago
when Joe Tinker headed the jumpers.
The players were willing to trust the
judgment of Tinker.

position will probably be extra man,
but it is only question Of time, now
that he has progressed to job, I'M

and some gUesser will be used for re-

The signing of O'Day ends the
clamOring of the fans, who have been
demanding his presence all season.
President COmiskey of the White SOx,
disguised at some of the American
league umpiring, asked. Ban Johnson
to get Hank, but Ban said the work
of his staff was satisfactory.
O'Day is human and he will I'M
dOUbtedly call some decisions wrong,
but he'll call 'em in a decisive man
ner and there won't be any guessing
or hesitation about his work And
some of the baseball pUgilists will get
the surprise of their lives when they
try to badger Hank. Those who
worked with him before won't try
any temperamental stunts unless in
need of a shower.
The Cubs passed up a fine oppor-
tllnity yesterday to go east in first
place. A double win from Brooklyn
would have put them only a game
back Of the Ieague-leading PhiIlies.
But they played some baseball, even
in defeat, and didn't look bad. Main
Iy because they were fighting, though
licked, and not playing with their
heads and hearts in the dust.
Enough batting was shown to have
won most any game, but the defense
cracked at inOpportune moments and
the pitching in the first battle was
not up to snuff. These faults are
bound to crop out, and they will be
forgiven so long as the team is try
ing its level best.

RISKS OF RED CROSS WORK
Doctors Who Operate on the Field
Under Fire Require Nerves
That Are Steady.

In the fighting area Red Cross work
ers are running greater risks than they
have ever done in past campaigns.
Those who succor the wounded do not
now wait until the end of battle be
fore they commence their humane
work. neither do they remain in safety
some distance at the rear. The num-
bers of the wounded in modern battle
are too great for that, and assistance
must be given to them on the battle
field itself, with shot and shell whis-
tling around. Surgeons now make
their way along the trenches under
heavy fire. carrying small surgical
cases which contain a number of abb
solutely necessary medicines. These
include pain-killing drugs, such as
morphine. antiseptics and syringes. On
the wounded soldier himself frst-aid
outfit can be found. as every military
man carries in his knapsack a little
packet of antiseptic gauze and roll
of bandages. The surgeon makes his
patient as comfortable as possible and.
II he can. drags him to point where
the bursting shells are not likely to
injure him. Then, on his hands and
knees; the plucky worker makes his
way along the rows of dead and
wounded taking as many. II not more.
risks than the "Tommies" themselves.
OF course. working under such try
ing conditions the surgeon cannot do
all he would wish for the wounded.
BY means of injections from his hypo-
dermic syringe he temporarily allevi-
ates their pain. and in serious cases
stops. bleeding by tightly knotted
