and wishing a lot of good luck in
talking himself back to Washington.
One weIl-known lawyer, who is not
strong for Teddy, expressed it this
way: These fellows, including Nc
Chesney and the others, knew very
well when they slipped over this
luncheon on eve Of the presidential
campaign what the effect would be.
But they were in the majority and we
had to take our licking and say moth
ing.
"They were an awful lot of us
missing today and I'll bet they had
to go out and capture a lot Of willing
eaters, stick clean shirts on them and
use them as ringers.
Cant you imagine how foolish
we'd look to toss out bouquets and
smile at Teddy now when we know
that we'll be out on the platform
sticking the harpOon in him if he
runs this year.
you know what Teddy is going to
do. Sitting there under the auspices
of the big bar assn of the state and
with a bunch of judges, corporation
lawyers and the rest of the big
crowd, he'll rip out speech that will
set him right back in the running.
Teddy would never miss a chance
like this"
Among those who welcomed Ted
dy here were the following big law
yers and judges: Edgar B. Tolman,
atty for Marshall Field; Roger Sher-
man, Chas. J. O'Connor, Luke E.
Wright, Judge Kohlsaat, Carter,
Mack and a crowd of pIutes. Bob
Mccormick of the Trib was there in
his dignity of handmade major. So
were julius RosenwaId and Jim
Kelley.

Washington, d. c., Feb 26.-"Aden is

Alden. however, where the British and
Turkish forces are opposing one an
other, enjoys none Of these advantages
cataloged as inherent in Arabia Felix.
Spread over its ragged hills of sun
made ash and cinder, sweltering, gloomy
and unrelieved by vegetation. Alden in
vites little attention in peace times.
Alden is a valley surrounded by the sea;
it's climate is so bad that 70 turns wine
into vinegar in the space of 10 days
complained one disappointed Arab trav-
eler OF the Middle Ages. And in the
centuries since his visit the climate has
not improved. In spite, nevertheless,
Of the terrible heat that gathers over
Aden's valley and clings to its low hills
and its lack of a good water supply,
the place maintains reputation as a
healthy one.
THE town is built on desolate vol
canic rocks that constitute a PENN

The Strait Of Babel-Mandeb lies 100
miles away: and Alden is the British

keeps an eternal vigilance over the
safety Of the rich English commerce

% Percent OF Wounded
In The American WomenS
War Hospital, RecoUer

London. Eng. Feb. 26.-Nine ty- eight
percent OF the wounded soldiers treated
at the American women's war hospital
have been cured or improved, accord
ing to a report Just issued on the
second 1000 cases handled by that in
stitution. The hospital is at Paignton,
South Devon, with Sir William Osler.
formerly Of Johns Hopkins, as con-
sulting physician, and DR.. PenhallOw
as chief surgeon
The report shows that of the sur
gical cases So percent were cured and
3 percent improved. The same per-
centage OF cures and improvements
were secured in medical cases. In the
1OOe cases there were but five deaths,
or considerably less than 1 percent.
The prOmptness with which relief is
given to men on the battlefield imme-
diately after they are wounded is
brought out by the statistics of the
report OF the total wounded cases,
one-quarter Of them had received i'm
mediate first aid field dressing, and
the number of serious eases, was an
exceptionally favorable showing.
Gas-poisOning is one OF the principal
causes Of the cases treated, and while
an additional 10 percent had received
this field dressing within Is minutes.
Another rs percent had been treated
On the field within one hour Of being
wounded, while a small remaining per-
csntage were treated within a few
hours, and a very few after a long
delay of as and ~ hours
As showing the different classes Of
wounds received in action, the follow
ing percentages were given on per
fCrating wounds: Shrapnel, / percent;
shell, percent; bullet, 80 percent:
grenade, 1 percent: In surface wounds
TIE percentage of shrapnel injury Is
greater and Of bullet injury less The

German Cost of War Equals

Berlin, Germany. Feb. 26.-The financial
outlook IS troubling the minds Of those
who have the courage to look squarely into
tho face Of the future. 1t is significant
that the papers Of Frankfort home Of the
German Rothschilds and financial center OF
Germany, are the first ones to depict the
future in q pessmistic light
The "FranlSfurter Nachrichten" recently
made the alarming statement that the
costs OF the war have now reached an
amount equal TO the aggregate fortunes OF
the annual taxation which must be imposei
in order 10 fulfill all obligations equals the
total incomes Of all Germans whose annual
income is $4,000 or over.
This means that even II taxes amount
ing to 20 per cent OF income he imposed
upon the wealthy classes, the masses 81 tbe
people must still be burdehed with four-
fifths Of the huge amount which must be
raised annually merely in order to nav in
