RED CROSS UNITS
UNDER STRAIN TO
MEET DEMANDS
By,GEORGE MARTIN.

Word to the Red Cross from the
front today painted a heroic and pitt
full picture of the endless task con-
fronting American surgeons and
nurses struggling to keep abreast the
stream of wounded men, which con-
stantly pours back upon them from
the fighting front.
The experience OF a base hospital
staff organized under DR.. P. A. Bes-
ley, OF Chicago, is typical, depicting
the terrific strain under which Red
Cross units are laboring with the
British and French armies.
Surgeons vainly endeavoring to
breast the waves OF wounded break
ing on their operating tables work
without food or rest until they col
lapse.
DR.. PA. BesIey has been operat-
ing all night. 1t IL IL o'clock in the
morning, and he IS still operating,
wrote a member OF the staff. DR..
Bosley recently called for nine addi-
tIonal surgeons and twenty-five Red
Cross nurses TO assist him.
Doctors In Tents.
DR.. Besley's hospital is located
three miles from the ocean in & large
camp now under canvas. The civil
fans have all of their little tents in
one locality and the nurses have tenn
porary huts. The stan have only
conical tents with outsides. The Red
Gross is sending a cargo of lumber
abroad to construct permanent quar-
tiers for these hospitals before winter
sets in. DR.. Besley said in one of his
letters:
THE English Tommy is certainly
q great character. He never com
plains, no matter what happens to
him, and the nurses find it difficult to
get him to say what he really needs.
He Is always cheerful and contented.
and loves to tell what the British did
TO the Boches at Vimy Ridge. The
simple democratic manners OF the
American doctors please the patients
and seem to cheer the wounded men
greatly. Allied officers visit the
camp every day. and praise highly the
work OF our men" A recent cable
Nsaid:
Chicago Unit Leads.
THE Chicago unit at present is car
ing for more wounded and sick than
any other American unit in France.
The Boston unit has only a few-hun-
dred fewer cases. The doctors and en-
listed men in both units have been
working without much sleep, because
there are not enough OF them to d.
vide the work in shifts and at the
same time give the wounded prompt
attention The orderlies seem tired
but determined"
Most "a our enlisted men have been
used to an the comforts of life" said
one OF the Chicago unit stan. They
have never done any work half as
hard as they are getting here, but
they have been splendid all along and
have come through with flying colors,
without single exception they have
made good and we are proud of them"

 Of Fortune" will be repeated tonight, positively the last exhibit of this extravagant picture. Sunday night the mixed program, each and every picture a class A, topliner, com mencing with screaming farce comedy in two acts, supplying speed galore and equal to any laugh pro- ducer on the market, it is titled "Only A Working Girl''. Another big spectacular attraction is called "The Mother of The Shadows. A production that shows fighting blood from the first scene to the last The program closes with the Worlds Film news a Pathe Weekly. Five reels in all.
 Snow accommodating on the roof of the Seward Commercial Co.'S building, adjoining the former quar- ters of the Nome Fire Department, caused the roof to sag and finally give way. The concussion of the collapse blew out one of the plate glass windows in the front and smashed several lights in the in- terior. In addition the upper sec tion of the front bulged out of plumb quite considerably, but no time was lost preventing it's being any menace to pedestrians. A good many took warning from this col lapse to get busy shovelling the snow where it had accumulated on their buildings The soft snow that fell throughout Thursday night greatly increased the incumbent weight of that already on the build ings and several looked dangerous to say the least.
 736 were registered at five o'clock yesterday. An interesting develop ment in the election was the regis tration of native voters. The first to advance to the registration books was Dick Longboat whom Grimm declined to register. Hugh O'Neill | the city attorney, hearing of it | thereupon told Grimm that he better withdraw his refusal to register Dick Longboat as he was legally entitled to have himself registered as a voter O'Neill, who informed the Worker of this fact, stated that l he thereafter called up MT. SaXton | and the District Attorney expressed his professional approval of the ac. tion Other lawyers on the other hand said that the proper course for Grimm to have pursued would have to have persisted in his re- fusal and compelled the person who was refused registration to have got a mandamus ordering such registration. It would have cleared the air on this question O: native voting However, after Dick l got nlS nd dme uOWIl lue lndllCi 6Ol bruited around among the abor- igines and half breeds, and there upon there was a flocking to the city clerk to get their names down as well. It came too strong for Judge Grimm who didn't know but he might be breaking one of the ten commandments and leaving himself open to a Grand Jury investigation and as the Grand Jury is in session on Monday, and as being candidate Grimm couldn't get away out of the danger zone, he called up the fed eral authorities for light on this dark subject. The registration of the natives was thereupon upheld The matter excited considerable dis cussion on the street. It ought to satisfy the Sandspit almost as much as voting for a bridge.
