Women Are Eager to Serve.

Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, wife of the
President Of the National City Bank in
New York, has been extremely active in
war relief work, both as worker herself
and as a director of the thousand and one
new occupations that are open to women
at this time.
Writing in the September issue of Har-
pers Bazaar, now ready, Mrs. Vanderlip
makes this statement Women are eager
to serve. They have always served at
home. Now our government needs their
work outside their homes. They will be
ready for every sacrifice. l believe that
the idea of democracy with its promise Of
opportunity for every child is clear and
definite belief in the minds of women, and
that we are ready to give to our utmost
to create world democracy"
Among the great things done by women
thus far, Mrs. Vanderlip mentions the de-
velopment Of the Red Cross, the Increase
and Conservation of the Food Supply, the
taking of the Military Census OF Resources
and helping to raise our recent Liberty
Loan.

FEW WOUNDS BY COLD STEEL
shrapneI and Shell Fragments Cause
Greatest Trouble owing to Greater
Danger of Infection.

Much is said about the comparative
~ unimportant part played by cold
steel In the present war. The follow
ing passage from the article on "Sur-
gerry, Military" in the New Interna-
tional Encyclopedia, would seem to In
dicate that conditions had not changed
much in that respect since the Franco
Prussian war; also that the general
classes of wounds remain essentially
the same.
"Shrapnel wounds are like those of
the old round leaden musket balls, be-
cause of their low velocity they are
more frequently lodged in wounds than
are rifle bullets. Shell wounds, as
class, are much less frequent, but far
more severe than shrapnel wounds.
Shell fragments cause complete de-
struction near the bursting point, but
effect less damage in more distant
zones. Both shrdpnel and shell
wounds are usually infected, because
the missiles carry into the wounds
pieces of clothing and other foreign
matter. The danger of infection is
much increased because Of the greater
extent of liberation. Wounds by bayo-
net, saber and lance occur so infre-
quently as to be of minor interest. Dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war there
were only 600 wounds by cold steel
among $4,000 wounded. Grenades,
thrown by hand, rifle and trench NOR
tar, a revival in late wars of an earlier
practice, recently have been used to
conspicuous extent in Flanders and
France. Their wounds differ in no
material particular from those of shell
fragments and subterranean Mines"

FACE DEATH TO AID WOUNDED
Display Great Bravery in Work
on the Firing Line.

One Of the splendid pages of this
wars history will be written in letters
Of gold on the scroll of what physi-
clans, ambulance men and nurses have
done. Lieut.. Harold Peat, a Cana
dian who has seen two years of serv-
Ice on the French front, told au-
diences in Indianapolis that ON per
cent Of the wounded men are saved,
and many of them are made so COM
pletely fit that they can return to the
firing line. 1t is not alone because Of
the perfection of surgery that this re-
suit is possible. 1t is more because
Of the bravery and the sacrifice of sur
geons and their helpers.
In the early stages of the war, when
the dressing stations and the tempo
rary hospitals were farther removed
from the front, and out Of the range
of enemy guns, physicians observed
that large number of soldiers were
dying who, with immediate attention,
could have been saved. Many of them
bled to death before they reached the
dressing stations. There was only one
thing to be done. The surgeons and
their assistants, guided only by sense
of the high duty of their calling. did
that thing. They moved forward, es-
tablishing dressing stations in and i'm
mediately behind the lines and in some
instances erecting their hospitals with
in range of the enemy fire.

Peru to Fight Malaria.

The government of Peru is taking
steps for vigorous campaign against
malaria throughout the country. The
work is to be classified ur:ler four
heads: Treatment of patients, pro-
lection of people living in places where
malaria is recognized as epidemic, de-
struction of germ-transmitting insects,
and drainage or other special treat
ment of swampy lands. In connec-
ton with its campaign the Peruvian
government will import annually what
ever quantity of quinine may be
deemed necessary, such imports to be
exempt from import duties and port
charges. Individuals and institutions
are to be enabled to purchase this
quinine from the government at cost
price for their own use or treatment

but for cots. 1t is reported that the
government needs upwards of one
million of these cots.
Mills manufacturing wood trays

ahead. Turned wood novelties are
in as large demand as is usual for
this period of the year.
Jobbers in boots and shoes note
demand has not been as large but
demand for rubber goods is good.
Retail merchants complain some of
trade conditions but this applies
more to rural than city districts.

Christian Literature in japan.

The Christian Literature society in
Japan is probably the most closely
unionized Christian organization in
Japan. 1t published nearly 100000
pages of Christian literature last year.
Its executive secretary, Doctor VAIN
wright, is a man of unusual ability.
But the power it exerts and will ex-
ert, says the Christian Herald, rests
more upon the eagerness of the Jap
anese for knowledge and the ability
of the japanese people to read than
upon the union of more than score
of missions in its support or the ex-
ecutive and literary ability Of its con-
ductors.
