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

Washington.-It was reported that
French sick and wounded would be
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, 1t 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, 1t 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 I'm 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 1t
was remarked that before the civil war
typhoid fever was a city disease. The
civil war was characterized by epidem-
les of it, and ever since 1t 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.

Designation OF all army regiments

branch only, without distinction be-
tween units OF the regulars. national
guard and national army, has been de-

named, their numbers beginning where
those of the regulars end. New units
will take their numbers onward from
the last of the guard regiments.
For purposes OF local Identification
national guard and national army regi-
ments will be permitted to use In
parenthesis after their names the
names of the states from which they
come. The former name OF national

WILSON ASKS MOVIES AID.
Brady Heads Committee to Assist In
formation Board.

Washington. - Organization Of the
motion picture industry for war serv-
ice in cooperation with the committee
ON public information has been under
taken by William A. Brady Of New
York at the request Of President Will
son. Mr.. Brady becomes chairman Of
a special federal committee appointed
by the president and has pledged the
support Of the entire industry In Amer
lea.
In a letter asking the service the
president wrote:
1T is In my mind not only to bring
the motion picture industry into full
est and most effective contact with the
nations needs, but to give some meas
ure of official recognition to an increas-
ingly important factor I'm the develop
ment Of our national life. The dim
has come to rank as the very high me-
dunn for the dissemination Of public
intelligence, and since 1t speaks uni
versal language 1t lends itself impor-
family to the presentation Of Ameri-
cas- plans and purposes"

BABY BONDS.

Hildssards Hawthorne Of tho VigiIantss
Tells About the War Loan.
The French nation has set itself def
nitely against any premature peace be-
cause of one tremendous resolution
that the children now growing up shall
not have In their turn to meet the hide
Gus agony Of war.
This is a war more to make the chill
dren free forever from war than for
anything else.
~ wish could do something, really
something, mother" said a little boy
whom l know, Ito help America. Don't
you think / could be boy scout even
II I'm only eleven? And when I'm
twelve why can't l go on a destroyer
and chase submarines
1t was funny, of course. But it was
not funny to see the glow Of high de-
votion on that child's face, to feel that
his whole being was thrilled with the
desire of service 1t was immensely
moving. To turn aside that passionate
wish to do something for the country
whose history he was studying In his
school, a country that to him was far
more of a real object to be loved than
to many OF the older persons whose in
terests had narrowed to their own bust
ness and their own struggles, was to
turn aside something vital and precious
This boy was one of five children.
Each child had something saved up,
the result of self denials and ambitions.
Each got certain sums weekly for
chores performed or In prizes for good
conduct. And all were eager to "do
something" "
So we talked to them about the lib
erty loan, explained how the country
needed money to help It In the great
work which they were as yet too small
to share In, but which the money they
might give could do its full share In
making successful.
"If each one of you puts in so you
can buy one bond. You will have a
liberty bond, and you will be really
helping your country. II you earn
money by work and by being good and
give that money into the keeping Of
America you will be working for her
just as much as though you were fight
ing in the trenches or sinking subma-
rines."
All say is, try 1t with your children.
Use that beautiful young enthusiasm In
a definite way. Let your child own
liberty bond and tell him or her just
what owning 1t means. Let him grow
up with stake In his country's credit,
let him feel himself a part Of the ire
mendous whole.
This war is for the sake of the chill
dren. The child can help to win 1t II
you use his generous wish to help his
country and teach him that there really
Is work he can do. Even II he earns
only a few pennies and you have to
make up the rest he will be doing his
best. He will be learning the lesson of
patriotism and Of service and co-opera-
ton and thrift. Let him own liberty
bond
