DROP BOMBS ON
THE RED CROSS

Tie incend;ary bombs which were
dropped by two German aviators on
two hospitals behind Verdun on Sun
day, killed ten wounded men, one
woman nurse and nineteen trained
male nurses. They wounded forty
nine nurses and inflicted further in
juries ON patients suffering from
wounds received in battle, many OF
whom rushed naked into nearby fields,
in an attempt to find shelter.
Meanwh. lie the German aviators cir
cled about ia the air for half an hour,
firing their machine guns at hospital
orderlies, who were endeavoring t0
,extinguish the flames. The nurses had
just finished bandaging 1870 wounded
Germans, who had been brought direct
from the battlefield and had gone to
bed when the bombs were dropped
from height of only 800 yards. The
Red Cross signs were painted perma-
nently on the roof, and the Germans
knew of the hospitals, which have
been in existence for more than a
year.

NO RAIN FROM
BATTLE ROAR

During the Civil War it was often
said that great cannonading produced
rain. Leading English scientists ex-
plain that at no time during the pres
ent world war has artillery exercised
any influence on the weather. The
heavy rains recently led TO the pep-
ular belief that the unprecedented ar
tillery duels on the west front were
responsible for the rainfall.
The subject received added interest
when the Rev. j. Thomas, at Chelms-
ford cathedral stated that the heavy
transforms were due to divine dis
pleasure because of Sunday work on
allotments, for which he was rebuked
by Bishop Birmingham. An eminent
scientist said today:
AT a comparatively short distance
from the earth nothing is known of
the great war, except poss bly, some
sound emanating from the battlefield.
Despite all the uproar, nothing has
happened to the air.
"If it had affected the air, there
would be extraordinary brilliant sun
sets. as was the case when an island
in the Pacific blew up some years ago.
The force of that explosion was so
great that it sent the air waves
around the earth three times, and
dust particles in the air caused won
derful sunsets No air waves have
been sent any considerable distance
by any artillery battles in this wal"

SOLDIER LETTER
FROM ARIZONA
Burt Clark, Jr., Attends Review at
Douglas---To Start for France
Soon

Mrs. Benjamin Clark, 217 Broadway,
Baraboo, has received letter from
her grandson, Burt, Jr, now at For
rest, Arizona, in which he says, in
part:
The ex-colonel of our regiment was
recently promoted to be brigadier
general, SO last Wednesday he held a
review of the entire regiment at
Douglas. The other troops were quar-
tered in Douglas, but we had to ride
in to attend the review. We got up at
4:3O in the morning and dressed by
lantern light. BY the time we had fin
ished breakfast, it was just light
enough to groom the horses. We then
saddled up and started for Douglas,
arriving there about 8 o'clock a, m.,
after a ride of about eleven miles.
We walked our horses most of the
way, so they would be in good shape
for the review.
The review started shortly after our
arrival, the colonel first reviewing the
troops individually, to pick out the
best drilled troop. Each troop drilled
separately for his inspection, and
then the entire regiment rode past the
reviewing stand in Zine OF platoon
column" headed by the regimental
band which was also mounted. We
passed the reviewing stand three
times with sabres drawn, first at d
walk. then a trot and finally gallop.
It certainly was wonderful to see
over a thousand troopers riding i'll re-
view with the sun shining on their
sabres, and the horses keeping nearly
perfect step with the music The band
music certainly puts the pep" into
them and makes them just rearing to
co. Our arms were nearly paralyzed
afterward, from holding them in line
with one hand and carrying our sa-
bres in the other After witnessing
this review and the eXactness with
which each movement was carried out
one would have no doubt but what the
cavalry is in an excellent state of pre-
paredness. The colonel judged us on
the appearance of horses and men and
the drill. AS usual, our troop took
first place We have become so ac-
customed to winning first in every
thing, that any other position would
not seem natural.
The review ended about 1880 a. M,
and we then rode to the stables, I'M
saddled, fed and watered our horses.
Before leaving camp in the morning
we had each been issued one cheese
sandwich and a pickle to eat for din
ner. Needless to say, none of the
men in our troop became sick from
overeating. Fortunately | have a
friend in B troop, so went up to
their mess hall with him and had
nice roast beef dinner.
We started back to camp at 100
o'clock p H., arriving about $3.50. We
rode about thirty miles during the
day We were all rather tired, as the
ride and the review were quite a
strain, but we held our daily baseball
practice anyway, as we have game
scheduled W tn A troop for this COM
ing Saturday afternoon.
Within the next week, our camp
here is to be abandoned. and we are
to move into the regimental camp al
Douglas We are all hoping that this
will eventually mean that we are to
start for France. Monday night the
Douglas Elks are to give an anniver-

Died Of Premature Old Age /!

How many times we hear OF compare
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or so
years of age. This fatal work is usually
attributed to the kidneys, as, when the
kidneys degenerate, it causes auto-intox-
ication. The more injurious the poisons
passing through the kidneys the quicker
will those noble organs be degenerated,
and the sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long lie,
to tighten the work Of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally TAX
ing a little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
You will fnd Anuric more potent than
lithia for it dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar and rheumatism is quickly
relieved.

In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-

famous buildings, as the Louvre, etc.,
are closed to the public, due to the
war. and I therefore will not be able
to see inside of them, but it is most
interesting to wander about just look
ing at these magnificent buildings
with their surrounding parks and Won
derful statues; one reads history,
struggles, sacrifice, at every step. L
imagine France is going through now
on large scale what she has been
going through for many generations
Her monuments are predOminately
war monuments, her art that art IN
spired by great sacrifice and love OF
country Already feel that | have
learned much that | needed to learn.
If were t. return now | would feel
repaid for the trip. | shall have much
to tell you of this wonderful place and
these wonderful people after | have
been in contact with them longer.
French Are Ernest
what has impressed me most dur
ing my short stay here is the earnest
ness of the French people in the pres
ent conflict; their willingness to sacrl-
flee everything for the great cause
which they have been upholding for
the world since the beginning OF the
war There are few men in civilian
clothes seen in Paris, and those few
are cripples and old men. Women
predominant to a great degree, and
think it conservative to say that sew
enty-five per cent of the women are III
black. And yet there is little sadness
displayed. True there are few sm1l-
ing faces to be seen, too great trag-
edy is being acted for these poor peo-
pie to find much joy in life, and yet no
one complains; each plays the part
willingly, knowing that the sacrifice
has been made for France. This is in
deed wonderful people. But Paris is
no longer gay.
s'It is indeed great consolation to
me now, more so than | ever imagined
it would be, to know that the United
States is at last participant in this
awful affair." 1t is indeed miserable
affair and a pity that the whole world
should be required to turn from the or
binary pursuits of life and peace to
those of war. But for long time
war against oppression, crime and
frightfulness has been waged for us,
and we have reaped the benefits III
money.
Fighting Against War
"Thank God we can now lift up our
heads and square our shoulders again!
The Stars and Stripes again mean
what it meant in '76 and 1912 and 81
it stands, for honor and peace and
humanity even though the price be
war. | long for the day when our first
American troops land in France to
fight shoulder to shoulder with the
rest of the world against selfishness
and greed, and when this war is over,
as I pray it soon will be, may America,
my country, take the initiative in the
movement for an alliance of nations,
a world federation so organized that
war will no longer be possible. Do not
think that mine is school-boy patr; OF
ism. l despise fight as such; I de-
spise war-as such. We-the United
States are fighting against war-not
