ZIEGLER HITS AT BARKER
Director Calls Charge in Connection
With Coal Purchases
Unfounded

DR.. S. Lewis ziegler, Of the Department
of Health and Charities, refuted the
charges made by Joseph d. Barker, chief
engineer at the Philadelphia General Hos
pital last night by opening the books
of the hospital and showing that during
the last year there has been a saving on
coal used at the hospital. Doctor Ziegler
said:
II notice that Mr. Barker has charged
that the quality of coal furnished to the
Philadelphia General Hospital was below
par, and that this year he had to fire II
boilers instead of nine in order to get
equal results. Our statistics for 1914 show
that we had 1000 tons on hand January 1
and that we burned 1850 tons up to Ocs
tober !, making total of l6640 tons
burned during a period of nine months.
On January 1, 1915. we had 300 tons on
hand, and up to October 1 we burned 49,
106 tons, making a total of 15.406 tons for
the equivalent nine months. With the al
legged increase of 2S per cent. In the boiler
capacity It seems strange that we have
burned 1900 tons less than was consumed
during the corresponding period of last
year This is a great saving in consump-
tion and certainly favors our contention
that the coal was above standard.
"In addition to this, l find that the
same grade of coal from the same frm
was delivered to Holmesburg, and that
the engineer, Mr.. Clifford, reports that the
coal for this year has been of most ex-
cellent quality. At Byberry, where the
same firm supplies the coal, both the
farmer and the fireman report that they
never have had better coal than during
the last year It seems odd, therefore,
that Blockley should have been the one
weak link in the chain"
Francis S. Laws. attorney Charles
]. Corr, of the Rogers-Corr Coal Com
pany. said today that Barker will not be
prosecuted by Corr.

TURK SOLDIERS
 FEAR AEROPLANES
Modern Warfare Best Method in
 GalHpoh
of the Associated Press. :,

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
 ConstantinopIe, August 30.-Al- though the Turkish soldier is hard ened to artillery, rnachine-gun and rifle fire he is still so terrorized by the aercplane that the mere sight of one sends him to cover.
 The fear of the flying chine is due, of course, to the effect of the bombs and darts that are thrown by the aviators. but there are psycholo- gists among the Turkish officers who maintain that the fear of the man bird largely arises from the fact that men still carry the bloody memory" as evolutionists call it, of the days when human beings were the prey of huge winged creatures.
 But the ueroplane bombs has quail ities of its own to make it a fearful thing. Unlike the artillery projec- tile, it has no tracjectural curve against which cover can easily be obtained. in addition, although the scatter area of, either the aeroplane bomb Or the steeI~darts is small, it is in the form of a complete circle while the scatter areR3 of the artillery pro- jectile lies almost straightforward of the explosion. For this reason, an infantry position that is we'll pro- tected against the artillery and small arms fire is still open to attack from above.
 Factor in Effectiveness.
 Another factor that makes the aeroplane bomb feared is that it con- tains high explosives of a sort that cannot be employed in artillery, ann intuition, owing 10 their great suscep- tibility to shock. Most of the British and French aeroplane shells dropped on the Gallipoli peninsula contain ni- -glycerine, a mixture of nitro-gly- cerine and ceiiulose, the two making an explosive that is ninety eight per cent pure, which, in other words, is all converted into heat with the ex- ception of about two per cent.
 The shattering effect of this explo- sive upon the steel shell of the bomb is terrific. At it's best the ordinary artillery shell flies into a small num- Der of fragments, but the aeroplane bomb is shattered completely. Its fragments usually show edges that are as sharp os that of a razor, and wounds caused by them are deep la cerations. f.. .. ....s,., ,.'.. 4...
 Bombs Make Bad Wounds.
 The aeroplane bomb splinter" has a shattering effect upon small bones, but hitting a large bone it will firmly imbed itself. The artillery projectiie frasment hardly ever does this. The wounds caused by it are as rule fatal or easily cured, while those caused by the aeroplane bomb are what surgeons term "vicious." While the artillery splinter" owing to an absence of great velocity at mean dis tances. takes 8 direct course in mak- ing a wound, the aerial bomb frag- ment, because of its smallness, shape, sharp edges and greater velocity, ht- orally plaws zigzag route through the human body. Were it not that the Roentgen rays make the location of the fragment possible, the mortal1- ty from the effects of aeroplane bomb wounds would be appallingly great.
