HUGHES WILL INSIST
ON PACIFYTNG MOOSE
Candidate Will Recognize Pro-
gressives on Western Cam
paign Tour

BRIDGEHAMPToN, N. Y, July 1S.-
Every effort to prevent serious detection on
the part of voters of the Progressive party
will be be made in arranging the details Of
the campaign tour of the Middle West and
West, on which Charles L. Hughes, the Re.
publican nominee for President. will start
on August 8. on this point Hughes is de-
termined to stand firm, It is said, and the
old guard leaders are not to have every
thing their own way. The candidate has
been showered with invitations from various
cities asking him to make addresses. 1t is
understood that there have been evidences
of some friction between the old-line Repub-
llcans and the Progresslves concerning the
details OF his trip.
While there will be no important change
in the earlier plans, Hughes has placed the
details in the hands of the Campaign Com
mittee of II, on which there are six prom
inent Progressves. with the understanding
that the committee shall recognize the Re-
publican national committeeman in each
State where the nominee is to make an ad-
dress, and work with him in ironing out all
differences. He will insist that all steps
taken shall be with the purpose of bringing
harmony and a united party.

FATALLY WOUNDED MEN SHOT
TO END MISERY, SAYS DOCTOR
Former German Red Cross Member
Says 1t Was Humane

PITTSBURGH, July 1s-with forehead
SCARED and one de of his body peppered
with 81 pieces OF s..rapnel. DR.. A. Hammond,
late of the German Red Cross and pos
SCISSOR of the Iron Cross, today gave some
interesting light on the manner of fighting
and of handling the wounded on European
battlehelds. Doctor Hammond is here on
business and to receive medical attention
for his wounds. several of which have
not properly healed.
In speaking OF soldiers hopelessly wounded
in battle, Doctor Hammond said:
ut was customary to kill them. We had
to do it--out of mercy, IL you wish. Chloro-
form and ether were too precious to use,
so we were ordered to attract the atten-
ton of men wounded beyond n chance of
recovery to something and then blow their
brains out.
"It seems revolving, but In the end 1t was
an act of mercy. And really there was
nothing else we could do"
Doctor Hammond received the Iron Cross
for saving the life of Captain Hinkenhoff,
at Verdun.
