NOANTI.AMERICANISM |

Fechner, Leader, Son and

BosToN. Sept. THE question whether

unexpected way at the conference yes

Robert Fechner, up to that moment
the counsel, administrator and unrelent-

sobbed. He recovered himself. and In
the full pride Of his Amerlcanism told us
all Of Charles Fechner, his great grand
father who marched into Mexico seventy
years ago and never came back. left dead
on . Mexican battlefield. He told us Of
his own father. another Charles Fechner,
still alive. but for nfty years moving
slowly about on one leg. the other having
been left behind at Chancel,orsville.
And then he told us Of himself, the

warfare picked UP In his experiences at
the battlefront Several British nom
commissioned officers also arrived to
take UP their duties as instructors In the
school for non-coms and to assist In
teaching the first batch Of officers on
arrival from the United States.
The British non-coms have been in
structors in the British war schools and
are the most striking set of men seen
by the Americans. Bayonet. bomb and
trench work form the grim delight OF the
Britishers, they admitted.
Two sergeants were standing in a
headquarters street, where they were
quickly surrounded by the few Ameri-
cans who were not out watching the
French battle demonstration. The visit
ors expressed surprise that SO few of the
Americans were present. when around n
sharp turn in the narrow village street
marched a column OF squads returning
from the field AS company after con-
pany passed the faces Of the Britshers,
at first impassive, began to broaden and
at last shone with unnistakable appre-
citation.
Finally one whose cap bore the in

an American and made this remark:

WAR INFORMATION
BUREAU ADVOCATED
Mayor Mitchell Would Keep
Families of Soldiers Advised.

In a letter to Secretary of War Baker
Mayor Mitchell last night suggested the
establishment in each locality through
out the country Of an information bureau
designed to give the families Of men at
the front Information regarding their
status and welfare from time to time.
The Mayor pointed out that since the
draft law and the sending Of the Ma
tonal Guard to training camps the
Mayors Committee on National Defence
has been delused with queries from
anxious relatives.
I'VE have been able to give advice.
but not always authoritative advice"
wrote the Mayor.
This brings me to the point want
TO make. Cannot the War Department
further show its interest in the welfare
of the men by giving those left at home
a sure source OF information through
which they can learn OF the status OF
their relatives at camp and at the
front? My suggestion would be that
you establish In each locality an ONCE
designed to give the people information
on such points as how to communicate
with their soldiers. how to send them
little gifts, how to visit them and simi-
lar points. These off1ces could readily
be also a local source OF information
to families as to the fate Of their men
In battle.
Speaking for the city Of New York.
should say that three or possibly four
representatives OF your Department. pos
sibly ofiicers. detailed to duty here would

nicipal governments in other cities would

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE,
Sept. The Germans persist in their
infamous policy Of night raids against
hospitals. which prisoners confess are
deliberate. In one Of their latest raids
they selected the series of hospitals near
the coast, among which are two Ameri-
can institutions.
They dropped three bombs on the
Harvard hospital where excellent work
is being done, and one officer OF the
American Army Medral Corps was
killed and three wore wounded. Five
American members Of the stan also were
wounded. besides ten patients two Of
the latter have died since.
Another bomb struck hospital where
st. Louis unit was In charge, wound
ing one man.
1t should be clearly understood that
the Germans do not try to avoid hospi-
tails In their night raids. but purposely
search them out and travel considerable
distances to bomb them.
