The Silent Admiral

From London T1t-BitS.
Exactly why Admiral Sir Arthur Will
son. who though not technically a sea
lord. will be adviser to Admiral Jackson
who succeeds Lord Fisher-has been
niclkpamed Tug in the navy, does not
seem very clear, the generally accepted
explanation being that the nickname
arises from the fact that Admiral Wilson
has the characteristics of a tug-a demon
for work, and no noise.
Sir Arthur is famous, like Moltke. for
his silence. He has never been known
to waste word, and that is why praise
from him is always coveted in the navy.
Not that he is an unsociable man He is
extremely popular with his intimates and
possesses a fund of anecdotes which
would make him an attractive figure in
any society. Every moment spent away
from his beloved service, however, is re-
garded by him as wasted.
Admiral Wilson, it is said, has "an iron
mind, a terrible courage and resistless
will; he is stern withal, and on none is
lie so hard as ON himself Yet he loves
flowers and the cultivation of these is
his one hobby.
As a tactician the admiral has world
wide reputation. Indeed, he was always
said to be the finest officer at handling
large fleet to be found in any Euro
pean navy. In the maneuvers of 1901,
with eight battleships he met and de-
feated a fleet Of u battleshps. and was
selected for the chief command of the en-
tire British naval forces in the event of
war, after he had given evidence of his
consummate skill as a tactician
Born in 1912, Admiral Wilson Joined the
navy when he was 10, rising to be first
sea lord in 1892, and it was typical of
him that when he was then offered a
peerage he declined the honor. Into his
life he has crowded many exciting ex-
periences, and as proof of his PERSONAL
courage it may be mentioned that he won
the V. C. at the battle Of Ell Tcb with
his fists. The Arabs broke the square,
and Captain Wilson. as he then was. went
to the assistance of gunner He broke
his sword, and then with his fists bowled
over the enemy Ike ninepins. Before the
foe could recover from their surprise
at hts novel attack they had been re.
pulsed.

DETAILS OF TREATING
WOUNDED SOLDIERS.

London. August 15-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press. 1.-THE treatment of
a wounded man from the time he is hit
until he finds himself in base hospital
is the subject of communication by
the eyewitness present with the British
general headquarters in France.
When a man is shot down during an
advance he is probably left lying in the
open under hail of shrapnel. From this
position hex is rescued by two stretcher
bearers who choose an opportune time for
rushing out and bearing him to the shell
ter of a trench. He Is then conveyed
through a communicating trench to the
regimental aid post in a dugout or cellar.
There he receives first aid from an army
surgeon. The stretcher bearers may be
either men selected from his own COM
pany or from the Royal Army Medical
corps.
After first aid, the wounded man is
removed either by stretcher or horse am
bulance to the nearest dressing station,
where he passes from regimental aid to
one of the divisional field ambulances.
These organizations are composed of
three sections, each consisting OF one
section of bearers, who collect the wound
Ell, ana section III CndrSe VI the tcHt
dressing stations. The advanced dress
ing stations are pushed as near the front
as possible. On the arrival of the patient
his wounds are carefully attended to and
an injection of anti-tetanus serum given.
Safe Distance Behind Front
The next place of treatment is at a
more or less safe distance behind the
firing line, generally in church or school
or other public building, possibly in a
town. In this larger station the wounded
man is made comfortable and given food
and drink. The wounded here are assort-
ed as to degrees of gravity and prepared
for transport to the nearest casualty
clearing station. Transport to and from
these stations is done by the motor am
bulance.
| The clearing stations are generally stu
ated at the railway heads so that patients
| can be removed direct to ambulance
trains. In the true sense of the word.
these stations are not hospitals, al
| though they may retain cases of abdomi-
nal and head wounds when the men cam
not be removed without danger. During
the battle of Neuve Chapelle one clearing
station of a normal capacity of 20t
handled 500 daily for four consecutive days
and received and passed on 1868 cases
within period of six days. They are
quite elastic in makeup, but their STATS
have to work day and night during bat
ties 1t is in these stations the patient
experiences for the first time the luxury
of lying on a bed and having a woman
nurse in attendance. His length of stay
depends on the train facilities, but as a
rule he is placed on an ambulance with

Fourteen Ambulance Trains
The train takes the wounded from what
is known as the collecting zone to the
evacuating zone, which means from the
medical authority of the fighting army
to that of the line of communication

CHAMP CLARK AT PUEBLO

Champ Clark, speaker OF the mousse
OF Representatives of the natiohai
congress Tuesday declared himself
unreservedly in favor of govern
ment munitions plant to be located
in Pueblo. and promised to do every
thing in his power to secure this es-
tablishment.
Speaker Clark said that for many
wears he had favored the establish
ment of a government armor plate
factory as means of supplying the
material needed in the construction
of battleships. and also as means
of curbing the excessive prices OF
monopoly. A small armor plate
plant he said had been built in the
east, and altho it had not manufac-
tured any steel plates, its very pres
ence had been sufficient to bring the
price of armor plates down from
nearly $500 a ton to about $500 a
ton.
This is a step in favor of lasting
peace as it is well known that the
manufacturers of war materials al
ways favor wars.
