headed by Frank Finney, are holding

this day Of preparedness, the follow
ing statements are made:
"0urs was the first great war in
which anesthetics were in general
use. DR.. Otis estimated from avail
able data that anesthetics were used
about 10000 times. For many rea-
sons chloroform was more commonly
employed"
The proportion Of cases in which
anesthetics were needed and those in
which anesthetics were used is not
given, but the following gives some
idea Of the total amount of surgical
treatment given:
During the entire period Of the
war in the Union service about 5000
surgeons and assistant surgeons
were appointed, with nearly an equal
number Of acting assistants. OF the
amount Of labor performed by this
medical staff during the war, some
idea may be obtained by the state
ment that over 100000 Of cases Of
sick and wounded were treated"
Our thanks to the correspondent
who furnished these interesting and
valuable data.

A crook, a casket Of purloined Jewels.
a mysterious packet Of letters, a meddle-
some and domineering aunt, who insists
upon Strengthening out all Of the affairs
OF her unfortunate relatives. are some
of the possibilities which the author Of

farce comedy. which was admirably
presented last night at Polls. 1t was
the first presentation Of the play IN
this city.
The action OF the piece starts when II
develops in the first act that a youny
lawyer has been called to Boston to get
n package OF letters written by a client
to- a chorus girl. The train he Is re-
turning on Is wrecked. During the ex-
element he becomes possessed of a
grip, which contains stolen Jewels. The
man who stole the gems gets the grip
containing the letters.
With the lawyers young wife believ-
ing that her husband Is a thief, and try
ing to save him from arrest, and with
the burglar endeavoring to recover his
loot; with the Jewels taken a second
time by a maid In the lawyers home
and with the chorus girl appearing &c
demand hush money. the farce moves
rapidly to a hilarious conclusion.
A. II. Van Buren, takes the part or the
burglar. Maude Gilbert appears ss th'
little slavey. Rose Macdonald inter
preted TO the life the part OF the design

ANRsTHETIcs IN THE CIVIL WAR

In a recent reference to the short
age of anesthetics for use on Euro
pean battlefelds, as reported by the
American Relief Clearing House in
Paris, The Times alluded to the use
of anesthetics in our own civil war.
It was stated that "as recently as
our own civil war anesthetics were
unknown"
OF course, the statement was err
roneous. Fortunately a correspond
ent, in calling attention to it, also
furnished source for exact data
about subject which, he admits, ais
a field of information hitherto little
understood" This is contained in a
paper by DR.. Henry o. Marcy, of
Boston, Mass, entitled "The Surgical

BRTTHRIN0 MAIL DELIVERY

It is pity that every effort Of a
Government agency to improve its
efficiency should be met with the
suspicion that it is designed to dis
pense with workers. It is doubtful
whether, in the long run, any labor
saving device, or any efficiency
method, has ever harmed employees
one whit. Certainly every effort
which has accomplished something
has added to the welfare of the COM
munity.
The efforts of Postmaster Chance
I'd have each home provided with
a.letter box met with this old hue
aid cry. On this occasion the agi-
tdtion was particularly needless. In
al interview for The Times the
Postmaster has asserted that his
OILY aim was to improve the mail
service.
Mr.. Chance estimates that an
hours time is lost each day by 260
carriers on account Of the halt en-
tailed at doors which have no boxes.
Each carrier brings back, each day,
an average of eight pieces of mail,
because there is nobody home" :.
Here is waste of time which it is
to the interestsof the community to
correct if it can. The mail box cam
paign should go far toward correct
ing it. BY cooperating in the cam
paign the community then has every
reasonable right to hold the Post
master to his promise of increasing
the number of deliveries per day,
in both business and residential Sec
tions.

niLL ON PEACE DAYS

Warning is sounded by James ]
Hill. The master, railroader reminds
the country that this is no time Il
experiment in regulating business
for, although the country is exceed
ingly prosperous at the present mo
ment, peace will bring economic
changes and business readjustmenti
hard to foretell. Prepare, therefore
he urges, for any contingency.
Scores Of members of Congress
have introduced bills Of every con
ceivable type to hamper and restrict
capital in its legitimate operations.
Here is what Hill says:
The first and greatest need of this
country In the coming era is pay
rolls; payrolls for all those at work;
for those whose occupation will be
interrupted and for those who will
come again into active competition
with the men who lay down the rife
70 go back to the factory. mine, and
farm. ,---
The man interested in this above
all is the workingman. His salvation
lies in securing continuous work. 1t
depends on the steady and continu-
Gus payroll. And the payroll cc.I ex-
ist only so long as the capital from
which Il must be furnished sees safe
and reasonably profitable opportuni-
ties of investment In our domestic
productive enterprises.
Sound thoughts and wise words
worthy to be pondered by agitatori
who would @saye" industry with
crack-brain cure-alls.

DON'T DRSPISE THE NOD
CARRIER

The Government employees and the
school teachers who never, no never,
could think of affiliating with labor
union because, forsooth, "We are en-
gagged in a profession, and it would
be undignified, etc., etc." are re-
quested to read this story.
Arguments generally are of no
avail because you can't knock down
a prejudice with cold reason. But
this story, told by Miss Florence
Etheridge at the Grover Cleveland
forum yesterday afternoon, carries
its own point.
Some years ago a chief clerk wa.
approached by a white haired lady
The Washington times., 1916-04-11

who asked him TO affiliate with q
union.
"I sympathize with them," replied
the chief clerk, "but I cant feel IL is
the right thing to join them. do
not like putting myself and my work
on plane with that Of a hod car
rier."
Time passed, the chief clerk grew
old, was denoted, and joined the
ranks Of the Clerks" Then came
the Borland amendment and the
chief clerk was greatly disturbed.
He welcomed the Intervention Of
labor unions and commended them
for their protests.
Maybe he knows, and maybe he
doesn't, that the first protest against
the Borland amendment was made by
a Hod Carriers Union in San Fran
cisco!
That is the story, and Miss Eth
eridge's comment is worth quoting
"That chief clerk, and all Govern
ment employees, are. part of a vast
army who work for wage. The
sooner we all realize this, and con-
sent to become a self-respecting unit
Of labor, and cease to regard our
selves as a privileged class Of hang
ers-on, the sooner will we be in a
class with the organized mechanics,
and hod carriers, and others who re-
spect their jobs"

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
VIII you permit me space enough in
your publication to ask wherein the
meeting at the Old Masonic Temple to-
night. under the auspices OF the Ma
tional Democratic Association of the
United States, has been repudiated, and
by whom?
Speaker Clark does not do so-he says

and, as such, was invited along with
several other honorary members to be
present.
Mr.. stephens will not deny that he is
an honorary member, either, and the
opportunity is open to him to tell
Fellow Democrats what a splendid

AFTER VILLA BY RAIL

Whether with a secret understand
ing between the United States Gov
ernment and the de facto govern
ment of Mexico as to just how far
they should go, the American troops
went into Mexico with the expressed
approval and implied cooperation of
Carranza. But Carranza cannot sim
cerely approve and he does not ef-
tectively cooperate when he seeks to
keep Pershing's troops from using
Mexican railroads to transport SOL
diers and supplies. For this helps
Villa.
If there is, in fact, no deadline, OF
if, in fact, the Washington Admins
tration will not call back the punitive
expedition until it has done its work,
Carranza's Withholding of the rail-
roads from our troops will not save
Villa in the end, but it puts obstacles
in our way. That should not be per.
mitted by the United States Govern
ment.
The United States ought to get
from Carranza the authority to use
the Mexican railroads for any pur.
pose that will serve to run dowr
Villa in the quickest time and with
the shortest pursuit. The United
States Government can get it by in,
