| scheme, with which all who practice it
are mutually familiar So simplifled. it
seems certain that the study of first
aid will increase, and it's application
demanded in centers of industry where
danger is involved in the daily labor.
One of the first things to be studied,
with relation to it's value in warfare as
well as in peace time, is the method of
lay treatment of the wounded pending
the services of physician or surgeon.
This covers the points of how best to
handle the wounded to get him to sur
gical aid, and also the matter of am
balances. stretchers, temporary ban
dages, etc.
The value of standardization of first
aid to the injured is regarded as tre-
mendous. The application of standard
lZed methods in the industries. it is es-
timated, will not only be the means of
saving many lives, but will lessen the

INVITED TO CONFERENCE HERR
Secretaries of Commercial Bodies to
Meet Department Officials Feb. 4.

Secretaries of commercial organiza-
tions in cities with a population OF
more than 100000 are being asked by
Secretary Redaeld to come to Wash
ington February 4 and 5. and partici-
pate in a conference with officials OF
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce to develop cooperation be-
|, tween the government and the civic
orga nizations.
The conferences will be held just
before the meeting of the annual con-
vention of the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States, and it is expected
that it will be largely attended. The
principal reason for restricting the at
tendance to cities with 10000 or more
was because of the lack of adequate
facilities for holding such large con-
ference. The conferences are to be
held at the Department of Commerce
building and at the bureau of stand
ards in Cleveland Park.

No official information has yet been

one of the eleven survivors from the

account of the disaster was cabled
from Malta to the News as follows:
Our ship was struck without any
warning at about 10 o'clock pm. and
sank in a few minutes. All our pas
sengers were enjoying tiffin when a
big explosion occurred on our port side,
abreast of the forward engine room.
Many Thrown Into Sea.
Boats were lowered rapidly and the
passengers rushed to get life belts, but
three boats were smashed while they
were being lowered. Many persons were
thrown into the sea.
''The Persia then heeled over so much
to the port side that it was impossible
to stand. SAe then turned over and
sank. stern first, many severe explo-
sions taking place when the water
reached the fires.
Il was swept off the deck and sucked
down. When / came to the surface i
found myself surrounded by human
beings battling for life. We saw three
boats, bottom upward. and each strug-
gled to get hold of any wreckage float
ing about.
After We had been in the water sew
eral hours, many having died in the
meantime, We finally were rescued
after great difficulty, by the Alfred
Holt liner Ningchow, and proceeded to
Malta soon after daylight.
