cotton had run out, and dressings of
coarse towels were used, washed and
used gain. SteriliZed absorbent cotton
is a rarity in all the French hospitals,
and cotton batting is ordinarily used.
Trained nurses were few in the early
part of the war, apart from the Sis
tiers of Mercy, as France has no train
ing system corresponding with the
English or American. But French
women, even of the highest society,"
have worked with great devotion, doing
the most mental tasks, while men and
women nurses have been hastily
trained to supplement the Sisters.
Nuns banished by the church separa-
ton act have also been called back
from exile. The nurses at the village
Of Broons were recalled from the
Island Of Jersey.
Miss Polk says the cheerfulness and
patience of the French wounded sur
passed belief. They are as easily han
died as children. Miss Polk saw one
man who had been in eight hospitals
and undergone five operations during
the past three months, yet he seemed
cheerful and contented, although he
still had some unextracted lead in
his body.

over PUBLISHERS IN
TWILIGHT LEAGUE

The Twilight League opened. Mon
day. at 5 P. NJ. on the Reuel Williams
field, Augusta, with a game between
the Eaton Shoe factory team and the
Nickery & Hill nine, the former win
ming by a score of 10 to 8. The game
was one sided, and at no time did the
publishing house boys have a chance
OF even tieing with the shoe makers. A
fair sized crowd Of supporters Of both
appearances there promises to be
plenty Of interest, when the league gets
we'll under way.
Gillispie did the twirling for the
Vickery & Hill team, and although he
pitched fairly good ball, he was given
wretched support. Stafford was in the
box for the Eaton aggregation and
only four scattered hits were made off
his delivery during the six innings Of
play, at the end of which the game
was called by umpire Harry Barney on
account Of darkness. Gypsum's catch
ing for the Eaton team deserves special
mention. Webb and Patrick played
we'll for the losing team.
The next game in the twilight league
will be called at SIS P. NJ, tonight, on
the same field, when the Y. NJ. c. A.
team will line up against the strong
team from the Cushnoc Paper Mill.

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, May 1.-FTance has for sew
eral weeks been clearing hundreds OF
it's more accessible hospitals of pa
tients in order to provide for the heavy
casualties of the new offensive move
ments. Sick and wounded have been
removed to crossroads villages and to
hospitals in the country improvised
from former monasteries and converts.
Although already crowded, beds are
added to every hospital in order to in
crease the capacity. The plan is to
have the base hospitals and all those
on the main railway lines ready to
care for the newly wounded. In the
early months of the war much of the
loss of life and limb was due to gan
creme resulting from slow transporta-
ton.
A report describing Frances prepara-
tons for the new rush of wounded and
the different problems with Which her
hospitals are already confronted has
been laid before the French Wounded
Emergency Fund by Miss Daisy Polk
Of San Francisco, who recently toured
Brittany with Mrs. Partridge Klots,
formerly of Baltimore. In the Breton
section Of France Miss Polk and Mrs.
Klots delivered supplies to 142 hospi-
tails, Of which they personally inspect
ed 90. These supplies came in large
part from American contributors.
French provincial hospitals. Miss
Polk found, are poorly equipped as a
whole, some as primitive as one would
expect in Serbia. France failed to an
ticipate the war by storing supplies
and cataloguing possible hospitals. Her
entire energies for time were con-
centrated on the military end. Surgi-
ga instruments, drugs and antiseptics
fell far short Of the demand. Trained
nurses were few. When thousands of
wounded began to arrive from the front
daily, their housing and care had nat
urally to be done in rough emergency
fashion. Conditions have. now greatly
improved, yet there is not a village
in France without its quota of conva-
lescents.
The hospitals Of Brittany, Miss Polk
found often badly furnished and over
crowded. In the village Of Quimper

gas or running water, without chairs
and without the necessary operating
equipment. The operating table was
of plain wood, and the sterilizing had
to be done. as in many Of the French
hospitals, by improvised ovens. When
patients arrived after dark, wounds
were dressed and emergency operations
done by candle light.
In one hospital at Brest the beds
were merely mattresses on boards. In
another, windowless attic, badly ven
tilated through its skylights. contained
IS beds. There were in all 5000 beds
in Brest. but all patients who could be
moved were sent away and thousand
beds added for the spring quota of
wounded.
The shortage in anesthetics and anti
septics has now been overcome, but
the lack Of instruments is still serious
ly felt Miss Polk took a descriptive
catalogue Of instruments on her tour
and made notes of the needs Of vari-
Gus hospitals. This need was often
filed Immediately by the supplies dis
tributed. Pillows. blankets, hospital
clothes. ste5ilized cotton and bandages
from the emergency fund have been
God-sends. In many places even the
