IRREGULAR TONE TO
MARKET TRADING
Gains Outnuber Declines But Heavness of Motors
Some Equipments is Felt; Rails Show No Mate
rial Change

New York. July 1s.-(Wall Street
Gains outnumbered declines dur
ing to-day's early trading, but the
undertone was irregular because of
the heaviness of motors and some
of the equipments. Rails showed no
material change except for decline
of 1-2 points in Canadian Pacific.
Tobaccos and allied specialties were
strong. advances running from frac-
tions to four points. Shippings were
inactive and the leading steels show
ed the effect of further professional
pressure. Firmer tendencies develop
ed before the end of the first half
hour.
United States Steers rally of a
point to 1924 in the first hour wai
accompanied by l and point gains
in other industrials. ShippinSs
strengthened, Marine pfd. rising
points. Airbrake and Pressed Steel
car represented the equipments at
/ II to 2 points advances. Tobaccos.
American Sumatra excepted, in
creased their early advantage, Unit
ed Cigars gaining 2 q and American
Tobacco 4. Motors meanwhile dis.
played greater heaviness, Maxwell
falling five points. A sharp break of
five points in st. Paul unsettled the
entire list before noon. Bonds were
irregular, the Liberty issues selling
at 99.41 to 99.45.

CITY NOT EAGER
FOR CONVENTION
Council Not Sure if 1t Can
Prepare For Sessions in
Short Time

City officials are undecided wheth-
er it will be convenient to have the
annual convention of the League of
Third Glass Cities in Harrisburg in
stead of Hazleton. While definite ac-
ton on the natice from Fred H.
Gates, of Wilkes Barre, secretary of
the league. has been postponed un-
til next week, the commissioners are
not certain what they will do then.
The short notice given to the city
to prepare even for a one or two
day business session late in August
is one of the things which Council is
considering. Several plans have
been suggested already, among them
one to hold the convention late in
September or early in October, Civ
ing the city more time to arrange
for 1t, and another to have only the
executive committee meet this year.
Communications may be sent to
officials in other third class cities, 1t
was intimated to-day, to learn the
attitude on these plans.
AS Harrisburg has had no similar
convention for at least six years,
some of the officials pointed out that
1t might be we'll to hold the sessions
here again. Should this be done il
is anticipated that one of the largest
conventions in the history of the
league will be held.

orancardiers go out-they come in

who is a priest, leans over him and

The surgeon comes out of his little
operating room. Weary with the
nights tragic work-after so many
many other tragic nights, he douses
his head in a bucket of water. Then
he turned to the wounded man. He
looked long at him, gently felt his
nose and lifted up his closed eyelfd
Then, at his nod, the stretcher is
again lifted and the wounded man
carried into the operating room, and
soon after into the little room OF
sorrows.
In answer to my eager question
the surgeon shook his head. Not a
chance.
A brancardier and 1 gathered the
soldiers belongings from his clothes
to be sent to his wife, but even we
had to stop for a few minutes after
we saw the photograph of his wife
and their two little children.
An hour later, as our nights work
was Stacking down and several cars
had driven up and been unloaded,
the infirmier came in from the little
room and said something to the
brancardiers. Two of them got a
stretcher and in a moment the
blesse from Belleville" came past us
with a sheet over him. They laid him
down at the other end of the room
and another brancardier commenced
rolling and tying him in burlap for
burial. AS you look he changed to a
shapeless log. Then out to the dead
wagon with it.
Soon after l went into the little
ward again to see how the others
were coming through the night. and
was glad to see them all quieted
down; even the little German seem
ed less in pain though his breathing
still shook the heavy little bed he
lay on.

Physicians Take 452
Pieces of Hardware
From Mans Body

Philadelphia. July 1S.-"Every-
thing but a. Ford was found in him.
There were nearly enough parts to
make one"
This is the report on an operation
performed on Joseph Quinlan, 35
years old, in the Philadelphia Gen
eral Hospital. uinlan was operated
on for gall stones. In his stomach
were found 452 pieces of hardware,
ranging in size from small pins and
needles to a paddock. The operation
was performed by DIR. f. L. Eliason,
of the hospital staff. Yesterday Quin-
lin was reported to be recovering
rapidly.
Quinlan was taken to the institu-
ton three weeks ago. He was treat
ed in preparation for the operation.
On Monday the operation was per-
formed and the gall stones removed.
During the operation a hardness
was noticed in the stomach. 1t was
decided to operate further and the
hardware was found.
These are some of the articles
found:
Cigar lighter, thre inches long.
lapel of a coat.
Paddock, one-inch across the fiat,
with small chain attached.
Thirty-four silver teaspoon han
dies.
Six ten-penny nails.
Glass medicine dropper
Three dozen carpet tacks.
Half a dozen safety pins of various
sizes.
Forty pieces of printers type, di-
vided between letters and blank
slugs.
Two-inch hooks for screen doors.
with eyes attached.
Several United States coins, vary
ing in denomination.
Canadian coins and souvenir
medals.
Quinlan will be able to leave the
hospital within a short time. He has
been suffering from nervous trouble,
which may explain his abnormal ap-
petite.

TELLS OF WORK
BY AMBULANCES
Living, Wounded, Dying Are
Packed in Tiny Cellar
Near Firing Line
MY Dear Sir:

My Dear Sir:
Tonight 1 am sitting in a small
underground cellar of one of the
public buildings of the town, acting
as a sort of timekeeper or starter
for the cars going up to our most
dangerous post and handling the re-
serve cars for wounded in the town
itself. l wish l could describe the
scene as 1t is before my eyes-for
the whole world is passing here
French, Americans, living, wounded
and dying.
A long heavily arched corridor,
with stone steps leading down to it,
two compartmen off to one side
lined with wine bins, where our re-
serve men and a few French bran
cardiers (stretcher bearers) are ly-
ing on their stained stretchers, some
snoring; beyond. a door that gives
into a small operating room, and to
the left another door that leads to
little sick ward, the most pathetic
little room l have ever seen-with
four beds of different sizes and kinds
on one side and six on the other,
taken evidently from the ruined
houses nearby-and one tired in
firmier (hospital attendant). to tend
and soothe the wounded and dying.
Screams For Mother
In the bed nearest the door, a
french priest, shot through the
lungs-with pneumonia setting in
his black beard pointed straight up,
and whispering for water. Next to
him, little German lad, hardly
nineteen, and small, with about six
hours to live, calling, sometimes
screaming, for his mother, and then
for water. Next to him, a French
captain of infantry with his arm off
at the shoulder and his head wound
ed, weak, dying. but smiling; and
next to him tirailleur in delirium
calling on his colonel to charge the
Germans. The infirmier is going
from one to the other, soothing and
waiting on each in turn. He asks me
what the German is saying, and tell
him he is calling for his mother
"Ah, this is a sad war" he says, as
he goes over to hold the poor lads
hand.
A brancardier comes in with q
telephone message - "a blesse
(wounded mani, at Belleville-very
serious" This is a reserve car call
so one slides out and is gone like g
ghost down the ruined street, ma.
king all the speed it's driver can-nC
easy matter-with no lights. IT
twenty minutes he is back. The
