May Employ a Thousand.

Under the orders issued by Gen. CAL
lieni when he was minister of war, 1000
surgeon dentists may be attached to the
French army. The Galleni plan was to
furnish each division with dentists, in
order to restore to duty soldiers who had
been incapacitated by reason of bad teeth.
They were given a distinctive uniform
and the rank of adjutant sous officer.
Men holding diplomas as dental surgeons
were taken from the ranks, where many
of them had been employed merely as
stretcher bearers, and put at work along
the lines of their own profession.
The increase in the number of stretch
er bearers is. by the way, an indication
of the manner in which this war has out
stripped the most expert professional
opinion. Before the war it had been be-
leved that the members Of the resimental
band would suffice to the regimental needs

trained in carrying stretchers as well as

fire
The increase in the number of stretcher
bearers has co-ordinated precisely with
the increase in the killing power of ar
tillery.

PARIS, August 30.-"Sixty thousand
men have been kept at the french
front by the army dentists.
That statement was made by DR.. w
c. Speakman, who has just presented
to France, through the American Am
hulance at Neuilly. the dental car pur-
chased by popular subscription IN VIII
mington, Del. DR.. Speakman is
dental authority. He came to france
in 1915 to work with the American
Ambulanoe. and then saw the need OF
dental cars. in order that the man at
the front who suffers from bad teeth
may be given treatment. Today den
lists are taking their kits into the
front line trenches. They are pulling
teeth and patching teeth directly under
fire The army dentist is becoming al
most as much of an army necessity as
the army surgeon.
1t was not that way at the begin
ming of the war. England tried to re
strict enlistment to the men with sound
teeth, but the need was too great. ms
bars were let down. France had too
many greater things to worry about
She took her men as they came, even
if they were toothless. After the furry
of the first few months war began to
settle down into business. The high
er authorities listened to the surgeons,
who insisted that the wounded man
whose teeth were bad made retarded

Il want to see China get into such a
stable condition that investors will be
willing to assist her in developing her
great resources. We want factories

workmen to replace soldiers.

Quoted there for the reorganization of
the government The revolutionary
leader said he would probably go to the
capital later. but did not set any posi-

The foreign press in China, as well
as the more conservative Chinese press,
has been somewhat critical of the ac-
ton of the ultra-republicans in accept
ing Dr. Sun back into their council.
His long residence in Japan. and re-
ports that he is thoroughly in sympa-
thy with the Japanese policy in China,
have placed him in an unfavorable light
before large section of the Chinese
public.
DR.. Sun, however. is insistent that
China's welfare is ever uppermost in his
mind. and that he favors better reia-
Iieves that better understanding be-
tween the two countries will result in
great benefit to China.

the outcome varied from sc decline to
a rise of p cents.

yesterdays sudden break in the price
of wheat had taken place without any
adequate cause, that confidence SEEM

Besides the menacing Argentine
crop outlook and enlargement Of ex-
