GERMAN BATTLE FRONTS
ARE GIVEN VAST NUMBER
OF FAST MACHINE GUNS

French Front, Oct u, Worrespon
dence of the Associated Press.GGer-
man appreciation Of the value Of the
machine-gun in modern battles was
apparent at the very beginning of hos
tilities in 1914 and the most recent
developments in their infantry forma-
tions give testimony Of overwhelming
reliance on this weapon for the de-
fense of the front lines.
The German infantry regiment Will
be provided with no fewer than twenty
four of these weapons, whose manipu-
lators are formed into separate com
pany, and besides these each company
is to be furnished with six light rapid
fire guns. altogether making a formid-
able equipment. This is an enormous
increase over the number provided at
the beginning of the war, when each
regiment of infantry of the active army
and its reserve possessed only six
of these guns.

TETANUS AND GANGRENE
FADE AWAY BEFORE
ALLIED WAR SURGEONS

Behind British Lines in France Oct.
IS. Correspondence of the Associated
PresseThe American doctors who are
now at work in various parts Of the
British front find that army surgery
has advanced just as rapidly since the
beginning of the war as any other
branch of wars activities. In the
early days of the war, wounds were OF
an average gravity far beyond that
expected from the experience of pre-
vious wars, which tetanus gas-gan-
CREME and severe suppuration, were gen
eral and hundreds died of comparative
ly trivial injuries for lack of early and
adequate treatment.
The situation has now been altered
almost beyond recognition. Serum
treatment has almost done away with
tetanus while earlier and more en-
ergetic surgical treatment has largely
defeated gangrene. More and more Of
the major surgical work has been car
ried out in casualty clearing stations,
and some OF the most famous of the
American surgeons have spent most
Of their time since their arrival, in ad-
vanced hospitals within sound of the
German guns.
The key to the whole Improvement

to the fighting lines. The enemy has
endeavored TO counter this by persist
ent bombing of the advanced hospitals
but the saving of life is more than
worth the loss OF life. and suitable de-
fensive measures are being taken.
The doctor, as distinguished from the
surgeon. has also accomplished won
ders In this war. The small mortality
from disease In the British and French
armies is due to his constant vigil
ance. His two great weapons have
been sanitation and prophylactic in
oculation. In a scene of unparalleled
confusion and in an area OF quite prim-
tive sanitation. his exertions have re-
suited In an astonishing degree OF sani-
tary efficiency. Refuse is destroyed or
deeply buried: battlefields in many
cases are cleaned up within a few days:
pure water supplies are provided.

FRANCE PAYS 500 100000
YEARLY FOR GASOLINE;
CAR UPkEEP COSTS MUCH

Paris Oct. 2S, Correspondence of the
Associated Press.t-Discussion of ex
travagance and wastage in war ex
penditures, during the recent debate on
the appropriations for the fourth OF
this year in the Chamber of Deputies
developed the fact that France is pay
ing the equivalent of $lOO,OO0,OOO a
year for gasoline. The upkeep of cars
placed at the disposition Of the military
authorities outside the war zone
amounted to about 100000 a month
during the year 1916.
Emmanuel Brousse, who is some
times called the watchdog Of the
treasury" remarked that part of this
waste was due to the fact that motor
lorries intended to carry loads of from
three to five tons were used to trans
port single cases weighing no more
than a hundred pounds.
Another speaker declared that dis
carded stations belonging to the state
were sold by the Agricultural Depart
ment at the equivalent Of $40 to pri-
vate individuals who subsequently sold
them to the war department for the
equivalent Of $500.
1t also was asserted that in purchas-
Ing fv,vUo nOTStS III AUleTlCd lHt gov
ernment lost about $5,50O,000. 1t was
claimed that these horses were bought
in tho United States at $50 to $S5 a
head and cost $40 to $3.50 when the
freight and feeding were paid, but that
the French government paid $500 each
for them.
Another deputy pointed out how
some OF the measures adopted with a
view to economiZing rood products had
involved eXtravagances. The appoint
ment Of millers in each department to
supervise the distribution of the cereals
allotted by the government, with a
compensation of four cents a hundred
weight for their services, it was cal
culsted. would cost $4,000 to nearly
$500 900 in each department, and there
are eighty-seven departments in
France. Thus a simple service of
supervision, had the pian been carried
out, would have made eighty-odd for
tunes for as many millers.
In spite Of these isoated cases of
persistent waste, it was declared on the
other hand that the government has
in most departments connected with
the war effort realized economics run
ming into hundreds of millions of
francs a year

tries must be stimulated to high pro.
duction and Americas foreign trade
must develop TO enable this country to
use its full strength In winning the
war. declares the National Foreign
Trade Council In n report submitted to
President Wilson.
Practically all the money I'm the al.
lied portions of the world, and most
OF that held by neutrals, in time, can
be made available for our war emer.
gencies II our production constantly
provides a proper basis for foreign
trade" says the Council.
The report was prepared by Lewis
Il. Pierson. chairman OF the board Of
directors of the Irving National bank,
Of New York. 1t will be submitted to
the ways and means committee OF the
house OF representatives and to the
finance committee OF the senate.
II was drawn up In an effort by the
council to aid the government In the
fixing Of commodity prices and in the
taxation OF business profits. These
problems are described by the council
as perhaps the most serious and diff
ficult the government has ever en-
countered in its relation to business in
terests.
Asserting that in an ideal plan for
price fixing and profit taxing, high pro-
duction and not low prices should be
the controlling consideration the report
says:
III the final determination of the
war is to be measures TO any consid.
cradle extent by the relative economic
power Of the belligerents-and, of
course. il will be so measured-the ex.
istence of the things which money can
buy will be Of far greater importance
than the possession of money itself"
That leads up to the statement that
most of the money IN the allied and
neutral world can be made available
for our war emergencies by proper
maintenance of foreign trade. For it
is foreign trade, says the report. that

Everywhere behind the immediate
front, order and cleanliness are the
rule.
The rule Of the army medical officer
is not always welcomed by the inhabi-
tants, but it works with magnificent
success, until camps and towns, which
in previous wars would have been
death traps, have mortality as low
as the most approved health resort.
The routine work of these medical Off
GERS has probably saved more lives than
all the other medical work of the war.
Preventive inoculation has robbed ty-
phoid and dysentery of their terrors.

two causes were responsible for far
more deaths than shells and bullets.

Effectiveness OF American participa'

Of funds for the vigorous prosecution
OF the war. The "only really big thing

port, lis to win the war" In winning
the war the big things apart from Sc
curing the fighting men, are ito pro-
duce and conserve" In such a situa-
ton we should not become so obsess-
ed with the idea of the value of money
as to be blind to the value of other
things" The part which money plays
Is not of the greatest Importance.
1T is easy to imagine a condition in
which no amount of money would Sc
cure the men and materials necessary
in an emergency-it is hardly possible
to imagine a condition in which the
securing of the men and materials re-
quired would depend entirely upon the
possession of money. We firmly be-
lieve that it is only by careful and
faithful application Of sound economic
principles that we can carry through
successfully the enormous burden laid
