WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Nova
Scotia fishing fleet, winch is already
scattering its dories across the Grand
Banks, is TO have a hospital ship. The
revenue cutter service has fitted up
the cutter Androscoggin with modern
medical and surgical appliances and
the vessel is now on her way TO Bos-
ton prior to joining the fishing fleet.
Halibut are running between the
Grand Banks and the New England
coast Already the fishing vessels are
lighting their way into the great salt
blasts of the North Atlantic TO take
their toll of the sea and TO give in re
turn their need of hardship, suffer

this bandage will cover more likely
wounds on the human body than one
OF any other design.
The bandage is made OF medicated
cotton and gauze. Each side is II
inches in length and at each corner
Is a cord The soldier, when shot,
applies the first aid himself, and II
is frequently lifesaver,
The greatest use of the irregular
bandage, and one that had a bearing
on its design, is on the arms and legs
It. is assumed that most OF the soldiers
shot in the body are killed instantly,

hardy breed of mariners who go forth

The revenue cutter service is the

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 49,
That the recent uprising" OF natives
in the Philippines is only the begin
ming of others, from time to time,
which will be greater is the predic-
ton of Newton w Gilbert. formerly
vice-governor of the islands, who re-
Gently arrived here from Manila.
Gilbert criticised the government
policy, asserting that ii has led the
Filipinos to believe we are playing
at government with the result that
all the antipathies existing among the
natives have been aroused
The natives believe the govern
ment weak, he said. Unless a con-
structiye government is again placed
in operation In the islands | favor
the proposal that we withdraw from
the Philippines. To retain the re-
sponsibility OF government without
exercising the power, can lead to moth
ing but disaster.
Gilbert said he had no criticism to
make OF the men who are administer
ing affairs i'm the islands. He said he
believed they had gone there ignorant
OF real conditions and handicapped by
policies laid down at Washington.
