WOUNDED OF FRANCE
TO Be TREATED HERE
Plan Formulated to Lessen Con-
gestion In Hospitals Abroad.
Preparations Under Way.

Washington.-It was reported that
brought to the United States to lessen
the congestion In French hospitals.
Quarantine stations in all parts of the
United States are being rapidly put
into condition to handle these patients.
The big problem to the health service
Of the country, it was said, was to
prevent the introduction of contagious
diseases from abroad.
The war in Europe is called by gov
eminent medical experts here the melt
ing pot of diseases. War, it was said,
brings an extra strain and danger, and
the perils from diseases become more
menacing than in peace time, owing to
the fact that war brings longer hours
of labor harder work, less food, less
clothing. less warmth and more nerv-
Gus strain.
The public health service is planning
to extend its work in every part of the
country and expects the cooperation
of the people. 1t will seek to prevent
the spread to the country of peculiarly
urban diseases. In this connection it
was remarked that before the civil war
typhoid fever was city disease. The
civil war was characterized by epidem-
les of it, and ever since it has been a
rural disease.
Deaths from wounds outnumber
deaths from disease in Europe, the first
time in history that such has been the
case. 1t was pointed out also that new
er has the health of any British troops,
as an example of what modern medical
science has accomplished, been better
than that of the British army. Pau
perism also has disappeared from Eng
land during the present war, and
browning the entire situation for the
medical scientists is the enormous
amount of research work that is being
carried on.

FREAKlSH RESULTS OF
A TORNADO IN KANSAS
skips Church and Tears Clothes From
Man's 6ack-Earring For Calf.

Wichita, Kan.-As is always the case,
a recent tornado at Andale, south OF
here, did many freakish things. When
1t reached the edge of the block on
which the Roman Catholic church Is
built In Andale 1t seemed to falter. 1t
was headed straight toward the edi-
fee and had wrecked everything In its
pathway, but just before it reached
the church 1t veered, passing to the
east and leaving the church unscathed.
Frank Heiger was in an Andale res
the blow he found himself In the street
naked. He escaped unhurt.
A timber was driven into a residence
across the street from a garage. The
garage was torn to bits, but the resi-
dence was not damaged. Beside the
timber sticking into the wall was
pair of pliers, one prong of which had
been driven into the wood.
So completely were freight cars on
the Missouri Pacific siding wrecked
that not a single figure or letter could
be seen In the piles of debris.
A calf on farm northeast of Andale
went through the storm, coming out
with a small piece of timber through
Its ear.
Mrs. William Finn, an invalid resid-
ing near Sedgwick, saw her home
blown from over her head and her
husband injured She was not badly
hurt and in the excitement walked to
a neighbours, the first steps she had
taken In months.
Mrs. John Heiger ran from her home
as the storm struck. She left canary
bird and cat in the parlor. After the
storm she found the canary hopping
about ON the floor around the cat,
which was too badly frightened to
bother the bird.

All these things were accomplished
while our soil was not invaded or even
threatened with invasion and without
any disturbance Of business. All was
done with the calm determination and
judgment Of an earnest, patriotic people
performing a service for civilization

rights, the dignity, and the honor Of
the greatest nation in the world.

Americas entry into the war as bluff.
This is our answer.
The German Imperial Government
was nearly fifty years in perfecting its
military efficiency. In less than four
months the American Republic has
made such strides as to indicate that
in less than two years time the boast
ed superiority OF German efficiency will
have been discredited. There is such
thing as American efficiency, and
time will prove that German efficiency
can not withstand it. fighting as we

Committee Of Investigation Ap- pointed at Meeting of Citizens
MAY REPAIR OLD ONE
Captain Arthur Rudd of New York to Describe Honors of War at Red Liberty Chorus Will Sing.

About 50, including town officials were present at a special meeting which was held last night in Grange hall in order to discuss the situation arising from the destruction of the town hall by fire a short time ago which has also brought up the ques- ton as to whether new hall should be built or the old one, repaired and made to serve the purpose required by the town officials until a more suitable time for building the new hall is decided upon. The fact re- mains that the officials must have some place to carry on their business and at the present time are rather handicapped on account of being in cramped quarters. Gathered from last nights meeting it seems that the popular opinion is to tear down the upper story of the old hall and have it remodelled to enable the work of the officials to be carried on until the committee, which was appointed to look up suitable location and plans for new hall, make it's report.
 A resolution was drawn up by the officials which reads as follows: Re solved-That a committee of three, consisting of H. Trumbull, F. Osborne,
 
 appointed to investigate and recom- mend at an adjourned or special town meeting a plan or plans for. repair ing or remodelling the old town hall. That the committee investigate the location, tentative plans, and some suitable plans for a new brick build ing along with the costs and also the methods of financing the same" It was reported that about $S,0OO of insurance can be collected on the bill which was burned. The meeting was adjourned until next Saturday night at 8 o'clock, when report will be made by the committed.
