RED CROSS HOSPITAL
HAD SEVERAL CALLS
DURING FIRST DAY

The worth and need Of the Red
Cross emergency hospital which was
established yesterday at the fair
grounds for theNcare and accommo-
dation of fair visitors was proven con-
clusively during the first afternoon,
when six cases were taken in for at
tention.
There were several minor accidents,
such as burnt fingers, slightly injur-
ed hands, a foot which had come in
too close. contact with a rusty nail,
and one woman requiring attention
for heat prostration.
This is the first year that an emer-
gency hospital has been provided dur
ing fair time, though the need of one
has been strongly felt at all times,
and DR.. G.. M. Williamson and the
trained nurses who r in charge
want every person attending the fair
to understand that the hospital is not
for exhibition purposes, but for zrac-
teal use. The tent has been fitted
up comfortably, and with all equip
ment necessary for the care of emer-
gency cases. and there Is a nurse in
attendance all day.
The hospital flies the Red Cross
nag, and the Stars and Stripes, and q
huge red and white poster in front
easily distinguishes the lent which is
located where it may be easily reach
ed from all portions of h grounds.

GIRLS ENCAMPED
AT THE FAIR HAVE
STRENUOUS ROUTINE

The eighty-five girls with their
leaders who are in camp at the fair
grounds for the first annual girls en-
campment in connection with the
state fair rolled out of their cots this
morning at sun up, and began a
strenuous day with military drill. The
first formations and practice were put
through this morning, as the begin
ming of what is to be a daily feature
of the five days in camp.
Military drilling and discipline will
govern, and as a climax on Saturday a
flag drill and special demonstration
will be given before the grand stand.
This morning in addition to the
drill there was a first aid demonstra-
ton and health talk by Miss Mabel
Fodness, a vegetable canning lesson by
Miss Eslie Stark of the extension de-
partment of the agricultural college,
and a practical talk on Fits and Mis-
fits by Mrs. Paul johnson, one of
the camp leaders.
At IL o'clock the girls were taken
on a motor trip to the university and
about the city by members Of the
Commercial club and the business
men generally. This afternoon there
is no special activity in camp and the
entire brigade" marched in full force
to the grand stand, for the regular
afternoon program Of races and at
fractions.
Miss katherine Stinson, the young
aviatrix, who is thrilling fair audi
ences twice daily, was the guest Of
honor at lunch in camp today.

RUSSIAN PUSH
SLOWING DOWN
Heavy German Reserves Be
ing Rushed to Hold
Lines.
lBx Associated press.A

General Korniloff's armies in east
ern Galacia has been held up for a
time by the hurrying Of heavy con-
t1ngents of German reserve to the
front stiffening up the Austrian de-
fence along the river Lominca.
The heavy fighting is continuing in
the region Of Novica and Kalusz, in
eastern Galacia, the Russian war office
announced today. The Russians were
driven from a height in this region by
a strong attack but afterwards, by a
counter thrust, ~reoccupied the en-
inence.
The holding Of this river line is
vital to the safety of the Teutonic po-
sition not only in his part of the
front, but northward to the Galacian
borderl and hat stubborn resistance
would be offered there had been an
ticipated.
along the Franco-Belgian front. The
French at Verdun have just completed
an important operation in the real
|lignment Of their front northeast OF
Verdun which was disturbed by Ger
man attacks lea hill 304 late last
month. The French carried their sue
cessful counter attacks even beyond
their original line and drove nearly
two-thirds of q mile into the German
front from Avocourt Wood. to west
Of hill 304.
The new ground is being firmly
held, several counter thrusts under
taken by German Crown Prince
troops being completely repulsed. On
the British front there is pronounced
aerial activity and there has been a
notable amount Of heavy work done
by the artillery, particularly among
the lines in Belgium.

SHOCK UNITS
TO DO OR Die
FOR WILHELM
German Army Chieftains
Create Desperate
Hazard" Corps.

French neutrality-suspicious. Of
Associated Press.)--Details of the or
g%anizatfon Of the German formation
known as "Stossstruppen." or Shock
Units indicate that the German
army at the front is now divided into
s~uperior-end inferior grades Of SOL
diers.
Shock units especially formed for
difficult operations which the ordinary
regiments evidently r regarded as
unqualified to undertake IRE from
among the young, vigorous men Of
the regular battalion. They are nearly
all unmarried men, or II married are
childless and this regulation has been
drafted for the reaso whenever they
are sent into action they encounter
overwhelming chances Of losing their
lives. They, in fact, resemble the for
lorn hopes" of old time wars, except
that they are not volunteers.
German prisoners assert That SOL
diers who are insubordinate or who
do not take kindly to the discipline
of the army are sent into the ranks
Of these special units destined to sac
rifice themselves in attack on specially
important positions or in attempts,
which hitherto have generally proved
vain, to recapture positions such as
the observation-disclosures from the
French.
Until now each German army has
had attached to 1t one or two batta-
lions of these shock units. Henceforth,
according to the newest regulations
each German army corps is to organ.
ize a shock unit Of its own.
These shock units are never used
for the holding of a small sector OF
the lines. They go into action only
when a difficult operation is to be
~executed.
