MILITIA PAY BILL STALLED.
Measure in Which Guardsnen Are In
terested to Await Next Session.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines Jan. 21-Adjutant Cen
eral Logan has received word from the
meeting of tfhe executive committee OF
the national guard association IN
Washington last week, thru Col. Smith
Brookhart, decidedly encouraging as to
the progress on the militia pay bill, in
which all the members of the national
guard are deeply interested
The members of the committee found
that thus far no effort has been made
to push the militia pay bill thru con-
gress and absolutely nothing is being
done by the administration or others.
The bill is at the desk of the secretary
of war and stopped there. But the
secretary gave the stror gest kind Of
assurances that he viii give it his
support and it VIII be pushed thru
the next congress Committees of con :
gress are very favorable to the bill.
Chairman Hay in the house has saio
that at the next session he will intro
duce the bill and make it committee
bill and it will 90 thru, also that it will
be a pay BILL pure and simple, and be
divorced from any scheme of war de-
partment regulation.
Senators Cummins and Kenyon
agreed with Chairman Hay that there
is no chance to get the bill thru at this
session, but they are for it and will aid
all they can. 1t gems certain. there
fore, that the pay bill will get thru the
next congress and it will be great
encouragement to the national guards
of the state.

AMBULANCE CORPS HAZARDS.
Must Work Under Great Danger Be.
cause of Closeness Of Lines,

Correspondence of Associated Press.l
Paris. Dec. 10-Since hostilites
settled down to a siege along the
rivers and canals Of the north, the
average number of casualties per day
seems to have lessened. But the work
of the ambulance department, is all
the more hazardous. Men who fell in
pitched battles were often lost in con-
cealed places, but what is worse now
rs that they often lie in plain sight
obliged TO wait for hours. some times
for days before 1t is possible for their
comrades to pick them up. 1t is often
too late
When a man is wounded in the
trenches he is able to get back to the
field hospital. if he can walk; If not
he must wait until night because the
trenches are so narrow that the
stretcher bearers can not carry a
wounded man thru them: he must be
lifted out and carried back above
ground
When a charge is made between the
lines of trenches and proves to be un-
successful the wounded Of course must
| be left; in too many cases they are
actually sacrificed and their comrades
obliged to see them lying helplessly be-
tween two fires. Sometimes they see
! them raise a hand and occasionally
they hear despairing cries, but to at
tempt to save them is out of the ques
| ton.
Cases have been reported in which
men charging against barbed wire de-
fences and wounded in. the attempt
have been left for days hanging in the
tangled wires
The chaplain Of a French regiment
describing the work of the ambulance
corps after great battle, says:
I'VE had long evening tour to
make as we were obliged to visit thu
advance posts of Rozelieres, Remenon-
vile and Gerbvillers. Without lanterns
in order not to betray our position W.

shells and deeply rutted by heavy ar
tillery. From the hill tops we saw
rudy glow from burning villages.
Here and there were flashes o
light. followed by the explosions o
shells and thru the sky veritable FUR
rows Of fire. It was all that revealed
the sinister presence Of hostile armies
The silence was impressive at times
cut only by the cawing OF crows ant
the reports of artillery. III

The Armenians when asked by the

claimed they knew nothing about them.

Consent Petition Of Oes Moines
Thirst ParIors Before Courts.
Des Moines, Jan. 21.-After years
delay the fate of the eighty six saloons
in Des Moines is now TO be settled by
the courts. The drys have commended
all along that the petition OF consent
does not contain over 80 per cent of
valid names The vets have had the
case postponed from time to time for
various reasons, but at last 1t is up
for trial before District Judge Utter
beck, recently elected from the posi-
ton of police judge. There are end
less rumors that the saloon men
themselves consider the petition weak,
particularly since the Waterloo deci-
sion wherein the supreme court held
that all the names on a petition were
void If one was found to be forged, for
this proved that the canvasser was
not of good moral character as the law
provides. The citizens committee
leading the dry fight has had every
name on the petition scrutjniZed and
has many affidavits to file to prove
that names have been forged.
