QUICK AID GIVEN WOUNDED
Rapid Treatment After Battle and
New Cleansing Methods Save
Lives of Many Soldiers.

Lieut.. Col. Gilbert Darling, G. B., a
famous English surgeon who is CON
sulting surgeon to the great base hos
pitfalls at Rouen, which accommodate
1900 patients. says that since the war
began immense strides have been made
In the surgery of the battlefield. Two
improvements that may be noticed as
having taken place since the outbreak
of hostilities, writes a correspondent of
the New York Times, are in connection
with the rapid treatment of the wound
ed after big battle and the cleansing
of wounds
Five or ten miles behind the fighting
sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 men-have
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be ex-
pected, so that once man is picked up
by the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within very short
time. Here also is a special hospital,
perhaps of SO beds, for abdominal
cases. which are the most urgent
In the old days such wounds, because
of the delay before they could be treat
ed and cleaned, We're generally eonsid-
cred to be fatal; but under the new
conditions, by which man so hit Is
placed in an ambulance and sent off
Immediately, if necessary, without
waiting for ether wounded TO be placed
in with him. the dangerous delay is
overcome, and the wound kept aseptic
and more amenahle to treatment.

LaIlah Rookhn Centenary.

Is the war holding back any poem
comparable with "Lallah Rookh." the
publication of which was delayed by
the Waterloo campaign, and took place
just century ago.
Perhaps few read the famous ORR
entail romance nowadays, but Moore's
reputation when he wrote 1t was such
that he was able to sell ii when he
had scarce put pen to paper Murray
offered 1000 guineas for 1t, but the
poets friends thought this too little,
and approached Longman, STIMULATING
that the price should be mot less than
the largest amount ever paid for Il
poem" THAT" said Longman, was
the $4,000 paid for 'RolSby,'" and on
that basis a bargain was struck, the
publishers only stipulation being that
Meor.'s poem should be equal to
SCOTS in length. Even so. Longman
had the best of the bargain. Seven
large editions were sold within year,
and a quarter of century later Long
mans still regarded .Lallah Rookh" as

OIL TO BE KING IN FUTURE
Necessity for Petroleum Products
Shown in War as Well as in In
dustrIaI and Domestic Life.

The European war Is without
doubt doing more to direct general at
tention to the claims of oil and its null
titudiness products than any amount
of advertising in normal times could
have accomplished. says writer in
the Petroleum Review.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum in up-to-date war
fare is no less than In either the indus
trial circles or In domestic life. We
are today as much dependent upon the
refined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities of
life. and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t Is no surprise. therefore. to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater atten-
ton than they ever before did. but
that a particularly healthy atmosphere
permeates those enterprises which
have laid themselves out-and sue
eessfullv soto engage in the produc-
ton. the refining. tho transport or the
distribution of petroleum products
There is. in short, no mistaking the
fact that in the future oil will be king

primitive Taxation.

Mr.. Kitchin appears to have an idea
that it is proper to put the taxing
power to punitive uses. He is known
to be an opponent of war. he showed
little sympathy or none at all with the
policy Of putting the nation in state
OF preparation for war. In the debate
on the revenue bill last January Nh.
Kitchin is reported to have said that
practically all of this tax will go north
of Mason and Dixon's line. The pre-
paredness agitation has it's hotbed in
such cities as New York. This bill lev
les a tax on those VINO nave been
clamoring for preparedness and are
beneftting because Of preparedness ap-
preparations He appears now to fnfs
no little pleasure in the conviction that
the Increased postage charge on sec
ond-class matter will bear heavily on
the publications that have ''intimi-
dated congress.
We do not believe that MIR. Kitchin
seriously accepts the punitive theory
OF taxation as sound Certainly con-
gress is not going to act upon that
theory. Having spoken his mind about
the newspapers and magazines, we
feel sure that he will pay serious heed
10 such q fatal objection to the sec
ont class mali section of the Bill as
that advanced by Mr. RAINFALL. who

estimated increase Of 100000, o0o, leay-
ing still very large deficit In that ac-
count. Yet the bill provides that the
publisher may not take his newspaper
or magazine out OF the mails altogether
and send it by express or freight to

office This attempt to evade the new

With great pertinence Mr.. Ran dali
inquired. 'If the government Is losing

CAN'T KEEP 1T oUT.
[ Burlington "a wkeye.


1t seems impossible to keep politics
entirely out of mind, even in these
stirring times Of war. And after all.
that seems quite natural. Politics is
the peoples business. and is also
patriotic duty, altho some people do
not look upon it in just that light. But
the fact is undisputed that people VIII
talk politics, will think politics. at all
times And that is their business.
Thus the question that keeps bob
bling UP now is, VIII the war make
another president" 1t seems a bit
early to be asking the question, and it
is surely too early to attempt to an
swer it, Perhaps at this time, the
question simply means: VIII the re-
public re-elect Roosevelt. i he is given
chance to lead an army in France p
viii the people If. There is plenty
Of room for all sorts Of guess work.
Here again the time element would be
an important factor. If Roosevelt came
out of France victor, just short
time before the national convention
meets, all things would be possible.
Were ne to come back year or two
years before the convention Is held,
there might be others who would be
forging to the front and would stand
the best chance for capturing the big
prize.
1t seems probable that II there is no
spectacular victory in France, with
Teddy in the lead, that the next nomi-
nation will go, where it belongs, and
that is TO the middle west.

THE PART OF EXECUTIVE WISDOM.

There is 100 much friction over
Colonel Roosevelt, a friction that the
average citizen fails to understand and
for which he asks in vain for a cause
that Is satisfactory to him. Roosevelt
and the men who are wild to follow
him to France or to hades represent
mucn TO the average citizen. They
and their desire appeal to the COM
mon understanding of patriotism and
sacrifice in the face of danger. The
volunteer IS verv American institu-
ton. About him groups all the great
ness of our history and Roosevelt is
the type of the American volunteer.
Americans believe in him. he is our
type of fighting man as distinguished
from the Hindenburg type, as our vol
unteer soldier is distinguished as a
type from tine driven private OF
the German army.
The best thing the president could
do would be to come down the pole
gracefully and agree that 1t is the con-
ciusion and desire OF the country that
Roosevelt and his division shall be adj
mitted to service and 90 where they
desire so much to 20, to France. Any
