DIR. BOWEN TOLD OF CONDI-
TIONS IN FRENCH WAR ZONE

The Strand theatre was filled to
overlooking last Thursday night to
hear DIR. John T. Bowen speak upon
the conditions in the war zone, and
to hear him tell of his own expert
ences.
His opening remarks were concern
ing his appointment for service in the
French hospital at Passe, France, and
that while he had been at work there
in this hospital of the allies, that the
hospital had been entirely supported
by an American woman, Mrs. Fitzger-
aid, of Baltimore. At the beginning
of the war she gave $100,000.00, and
later as more funds were needed, an
other American citizen, H. Walters,
also of Baltimore, gave largely toward
the support of the hospital. DR.. Bow
EN- said that from the beginning of the
war to the present time, that this hos
pital providing two hundred and fifty
beds, had been entirely maintained by
American citizens. The doctors and
surgeons on duty there were without

earning capacity, and that it was the
best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, if you will 60 up to my room
and bring my small handbag, will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: swell,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has discouraged look; he has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him In charge,
life for him took on new meaning.
He saw chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he is twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
be one of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing viii
do the young men Of this nation so
much good in so short a time as a few
months of intensive military training.
1t fits man to fight his own life bat
ties in the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
NEARLY every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t is COM
pulsory. 1t is based upon the fact that
it is the duty Of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war Is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as it is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. BY this plan a
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is a stronger and
better man for the training.
''If the Chamberlain Bill for Mill
tary Training is passed by congress,
as 1t ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman
and senators the passage of this
BILL"

LIFE. +"

LII II.
Life's kind of handle that you turn,
turn, turn,
Or maybe just candle that you burn,
burn, burn.
Anyway it's pleasant
just to annble right along,
Turning out sermon
Or turning out a song.
Oftentimes the handle takes notion
to decline
And then you've got to double all your
energies supine,
But the added triumphs
In final burst of speed
And you've got to turn the handle
If you want to live your creed.
The world is full of handles that need
turning at their best,
With never any holiday and seldom
any rest,
For sweetness out of labor
Is the kind of sweet that stays
For the dream behind the shadows
In the light Of far-on days.
For the purpose of this ditty, let US
make it blunt and plain
Is to show you that by turning you
may win the world again.
And a life can't make much progress
If it stands and tries to grow
Like a cabbage in the garden
That the man forgot to hoe.

DR.. Bowen stated that the fact
that this splendid hospital had been
established and conducted in this
way, before the United States had
declared war, was one of which every
American citizen should be proud. He
also said that although he was not in
France to serve in any official or mill
itary capacity, yet he was proud to
have been connected with such an in
stitution.
DIR. Bowen was dressed in the Brit
ish uniform, which every surgeon in
the hospital was required to wear in
order that they would not be taken for
spies.
He brought home with him French
helmet made of steel, and very heavy.
This belonged to a patient of the doc
tor, who was brought to the hospital
after being buried in a trench for
eight hours, and who had also had
attacks of gas poisoning. The patient
disliked to part with his helmet, for
the soldiers think very much of them,
but after great deal Of persuasion
and offers of number of francs, he
finally decided to let DR.. Bowen have
it to bring to America to show the
people. These helmets are so heavy
that VIXEN the men first begin to wear
them they suffer from terrific head
aches because of their weight, but they
are not allowed to take them off, as it
is against military rules.
DR.. Bowen read extracts from book
written by DIR. Suffer, telling of his
experiences during the first thirty
days after Great Britain and Germany
were at war. These readings were in
terspersed very Interestingly with re-
marks from the doctor, who said the
same dreadful events he read about
were happening every day.
He gave a graphic account of the
manner in which the wounded are TAX
en- from the battlefelds, and also of
the way in which the soldiers are fed
when in the trenches.
Coming from one of the physicians
of our city, these accounts of the war;
stricken lands became more real than
ever before. He told of the wonderful
courage of the allied armies, and the
personal and individual courage of
many of the men and women, from
which we realize more than ever what
we owe to these allied nations.
By request, the speaker answered a
humber of questions in regard to the
Red Cross work in France. He stated
that the Red Cross was everywhere.
He spoke in particular of the bravery
of the nurses many of them society
girls, VINO are now doing work in the
hospitals that is usually hired done.
The Red Cross supply stations along
the direct route from the battlefelds
are doing great work He also praisa
ed the work that the Y. M. C. A. is
doing, and how much the soldiers are
depending upon these organizations
for comforts, and in some cases for
the necessities of life.
In reply to the question care news
papers ever used for surgical dress
ings?" he replied, eyes, they Were"
That oftentimes he had seen wounds
bound with these papers when the
men had been brought into the hospi-
tai.
DR.. Bowen made an earnest appeal
to the women of this city to help in
the work of the Red Cross, for the
duties of the Red Cross are going to
be doubled and tripled before this war
is over.-Clearwater News.
