ABOARD THO FkF1NCH HOSPITAL
SHIP CHARLES RoUX. HARBoR OF
sALONlkl. Dec. 15.-Quite the most
agreeable fate that can overtake an
Allied soldier in the Balkan campaign
IS 10 be ill-or slightly wounded. Not
that the hospital facilities of tho an
cient Turkish city are famous, or even
adequate. They are not. But there
are four French and ono British hos
pital ship In the roads OF Saloniki and
thcy constitute by far tho most COM
portable not TO say the only sanitary
spot In the Balkan peninsula.
The Fernch have been better pre-
pared from the very outset oft he pres
ent Balkan campaign in every detail
OF military organization than their
British Allies. No better example OF
the thoroughness of this preparation
could be given thant the arrangements
for caring for the sick and wounded.
Long before there was actually any
need for it and simultaneously with
the landing OF the first contingent OF
french troops on Greek soil, the
French hospital ship Sphinx was lying
ready In the harbor OF Saloniki AS
the number OF troops disembarked
increased. automatically more hospital
ships put in an appearance. First the
Dugay Trouin, with its sheltered decks
aud its high stern like the poop OF
Spanish galleon, all porches and avn
inGs and lounging places for the con-
yalescent; next this ship, the Charles
RouX. with its operating rooms, It's
surgical clinics and its complete pro-
vision for the care OF the more SER
iously wounded: and finally the Can
ada-all with full complement of
nurses, surgeons. physicians, sisters
Of charity and all the rest of the par
aphernalia of the aftermath OF battle.
Interesting Place.
In many ways the Charles Roux is
the most interesting, especially as it is
the principal operating theater OF the
floating hospitals OF Saloniki, and es-
pecially as the surgeon major, DR..
Heitz-Boyer, is one OF the most dis
tnguished and best known surgeons
In Paris. The ship was converted from

tected by All Steel.
Appalling Injuries of Late
Have Aroused Nation.
BACK TO DAYS OF OLD ROME
Shields on Wheels Have Been
Suggested i'm England.
Protect Vital SpOts-Forehead,
Breast and Abdomen.

London, Aug. 25.-The 1916 British
army may be an armored army.
The great casualty list that filters
through the war office every day from
the front; the convalescent wounded
and battered soldiers that are always
on the streets and the Overflowlng
hospitals are beginning to have their
effect.
Many ask: isn't there a way to
minimize this appalling situation?"
Somebody has answered.: "Armor." )"
And it's beginning to look like
armor for the British soldiers of 1916.
While the British war office is con-
sidering whether it shall slip back to
medieval methods of warfare SO far
as the protection of the soldier is con-
cerned, well known BritisherS are
telling the war office through the
press that armor is a natural neces-
sity in these days of machine guns and
high-powered rifles.
Is Armor Practical?
Scores of suggestions for modern
1916 armor emanating from Scien-
lists have narrowed down to the prac-
ticability of three-piece suit of tenn
pered steel that would protect the
forehead, breast and abdomen-the
three vital spots of the body. The
favored headpiece will, if authorized
by the war office, take the form of
the highly tempered steel skull cap
like protector now worn by the
shrapnel. The breastp1ate would be
a thin leather covered hardened plate
of steel carved to fit over the chest
and held by straps that go over the
shoulders and around the waist. The
abdominal protector is suggested in
the form of another curved sheet of
steel fitting over the lower ribs and
extending down to the bones of the
hips
The British war office four years
ago experimental with a bullet proof
breastplate at AIdershot where the de-
vice shed all the rifle and machine
gun bullets that were fired against it
at ranges of one foot to five hundred
yards. The breaStplate was rejected
on the ground that it added too much
weight to the equipment of the soldier
and reduced his marching efficiency.
With a war Of great proportions
that will probably last many more
months or perhaps years and with the
thousands of dead and the tens of
is believed to be reconsidering its OBJ
lection to armor.
The men of the trenches at least
probably will be thus equipped, ac-
cording to information today,
Armor on Wheels.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle suggests
three piece suits of steel plates for
the soldiers, but goes further in ad-
vocating a modern "testudo''-a cover
used by the Roman soldiers in attack
ing wall, formed by overlapping
their oblong shields above their heads
Sir Arthur'S modern teStudo, he would
put on wheels to cover the men as
they charge the German trenches.

ENGLAND knew IT
BritisherS Realize France Isn't
Satisfied With Her.
London Must Be Fortified First
Is Her Excuse.

London, Aug. 25.-Ergland knows
France is not satisfied with her.
The showing Great Britain has
made with her land forces has not
been all that France has had a right
TO expect.
Britishers admit, with sincere re-
gret, that France has had some
ground for her complaints. But they
predict that in the very near future
the allies will have no basis for crit
lciSm.
Britishers do not deny the French
charge that the BritonS are fortifying
London with double row of defense.
The Britishers are looking square in
the face the remote possibility that
the British Isles may be invaded by
Germany London has been prepar-
ing for invasion for long time. Great
Britain will do her best to keep the
possible invaders away from Calais
and the French criticism that the
British are thoughtlessly worrying
more about London than they are
about Calais is not we'll received in
London. Calais may be on French
soil but the British realize that it is
the German gateway to London and
that it must be defended to England's s
utmost. However, if the British fail
at Calais, they must be prepared to
make their last stand at London.

CITY WON'T AUDIT
Mayor House Isn't Excited Over
Edison Scare.
Poor Business Policy for City
He Declares.

That the books of the Topeka Edi-
son company and the Topeka Street
Railway company will be examined
by the city in search of a surplus of
investment, 110 of which would go
to the city under the terms of the
franchises of the company, is improb-
able.
Unless there is q change of front
on the part of some members of the
city commission, there will be no in
vestigation," said Mayor Jay r,
House. Because 1 believe that even
if the city should succeed in finding
any money due, the cost of getting it
would be greater than the amount to
be recovered. The work would call
for more than a mere investigation
of the books. Experts would have
actual value of the, investments. They
also would have to decide whether
legitimate profits were being covered
by excessive salaries or in any other
way. Not only the Investment and
the gross income, but the entire busi-
investigated and the work would have
to be done by experts whose testi-
mony would stand the tests of the
courts.
TN the meantime the companies
would have equally competent experts
the two sets of experts would not like
ly agree. lawsuit would be the
result and in the end, if the city re-
covered anything at all, it would
probably find it had paid more than
it got back 1t would cost proba bly,
$4,000 for the examination alone. 1
think it would be poor business for
the city to risk this amount of money
on a proposition the outcome of
which would be so doubtful.

AUSTRIAN PRESS BREAKS

POLICY AGAIN is BLAMED

Zurich. Switzerland. Aug. 25.-
tNia LOndon)-The silence hitller-
to observed by the paess of Austria
Hungary regarding the sinking of
the steamer Arabic has been
broken.
The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna,
whose relations with the German
embassy are of the closest declared
that lone thing is certain; the
American government has every
ground to consider the grave periIs
to peace which its policy involves.
1T is absurd that the accidents
of two or three Americans heing
injured i'm the war zone should de-
eide the question of peace between
two great nations. Germany has
made reasonable proposals which
absolutely would exclude such
threatening incidents.
IF the Arabic affair should de-
velOp further difficulties. the dual
monarchy would deeply depIore it.
Perhaps the affair, after it is
cleared up, may lead America to
revise her policy"
