MEDICAL STUDENTS SERVE
UNDER FIRE IN TRENCHES

Realizing the plight of the Euro
pean countries without adequate medi-
cal service, the Red Cross Society of
America decided in the fall Of 1914
to render them assistance" said DIR.
Harry H. Shively of the College of
Medicine of The Ohio State Univer-
sity. DR.. Snively, who has been in
Russia since last April in charge of a
unit in the Red Cross work, returned
recently for short vacation. In
speaking of the medical conditions in
Russia, he made the statement that no
doctors are found in the trenches, and
that the first aid to the wounded
comes from medical students, who vol
unteer their services regardless of the
extreme risks they run. Seventy-fve
per cent. of these assistants are kill
ed on the field, he went on to say.
Touching on the manner of trans
portation of the wounded, DR.. Snively
said that auto trucks were used, to-
gether with two wheeled ambulance
with a capacity of from two to four
Farm vehicles, we'll loaded with straw,
also serve in the capacity of impro-
vised ambulances. Trains composed of
box cars are also employed. The cars
are equipped with as full quota of
paraphernalia necessary for the treat
ment of the patients as the condition
of the country will permit. Special
arrangements for the seriously wound
ed. together with dining cars and op-
Grating rooms, are in evidence. Those
inflicted with minor injuries are
stacked up like so much cord wood.
''The people of Russia work untir-
ingly," said the Doctor, "and it is no
uncommon sight to see a peasant wo-
man carrying wounded soldier on
her back up the hill to the hospital"

AUTOS IN COAL CARS.

There are 10000 automobile cars
in existence in the United States, but
this number has been found made
quate for the transportation of the
large numberi of automobiles that are
being manufactured daily in this
country. In order to keep their
large output moving as fast as manu-
factured the Williys- Overland Com
pany of Toledo have hit upon the ex--
pedient Of shipping a part of them in
fiat cars and gondolas. The autos
are securely lashed to the car floor
ings and covered with tarpaulins. One
of the reasons for car shortage is the
fact that ships cannot be secured to
take cargoes to foreign ports and in
consequence 100000 loaded freight
cars are lying along the Atlantic sea-
board and as far inland as Buffalo,
Pittsburg, Chattanooga, Atlanta and
Mobile
The Overland has the honor sof be-
ing theNfrst American made knight
motored car to be selected for per-
sonal use by a European crowned
head; a model "a touring car was
shipped recently to His Majesty Don
Alfonso XIII King of Spain.
