ROOSEVELT CORPS
Reach WAR AREA
Hospital Field Unit. Well Equipped.
Arrives in France.
BY DANIEL DILLON,
stan Correspondent Of the /. Y. 8.

STAR Correspondent Of the I. v. 9.
American Base in France, July =
(delayed)-The Roosevelt hospital field
unit has arrived in the war area.
The American doctors and nurses
were completely surprised today when
three OF the correspondents attached
to the Pershing expedition visited their
camp. They did not know there was
an American within hundreds OF miles.
so well kept had been the secrecy OF
the location Of the camp, and the
movement OF the troops.
There is a big stan OF surgeons and
nurses attached to the unit, and they
are already fraternizing with the sob
diers. Nightly concerts are to be held
at the hotel in a village near the base.
These concerts and dances, although
held almost within the rumble OF the
guns. are expected TO be as gay as any
event in the Biltmore in New York
or the Willard in WASHINGTON.
The arrival Of a big consignment
Of white -four from America today
gladdened the camp. American SOL
diers and marines are the only fight
ers in all the warning countries, Of
Europe, who are not forced to eat
the questionable war bread -four, now
distributed TO the different armies.
All the baking is done in an i'm
mense oven. II was learned today
that the Johns Hopkins Hospital unit
every member in top shape. also is
within hailing distance OF the Ameri-
can camp. II is located about twenty
miles away.

looking toward settlement of the
switchmen's strike called in Chicago

men were started today and the un-
restricted traffic demanded by the
Federal government may be realized

osition but they declined to discuss
the situation or the circumstances
back of the brotherhood's capitula-
ton.
Reports Of violence in all sections
Of the city have been coming in,
showing everything from derailment
to gun play.
At the Harrison street freight house
where the Chicago and Alton was
attempting to keep business going with
SWitchmen's Union men, an attack
was made upon the switchmen by
strikers armed with bricks above the
yard on a viaduct. Two OF the at
taclOers were captured by the police
and some of the switchfnen were
slightly hurt.
At Summit, Ill, II was reported
that a switch was deliberately thrown
beneath seven heavy carloads Of coal.
The cars were derailed and traffic
was impeded for several hours.

To serve IN FRANCE
Mrs. Mary Cassidy Asks Daniels to
Accept Her Services.

Mrs. Mary Cassidy. 6l9 G street

She had read all about Mrs. Hazel
Carter. who got all the way across
the ocean in a mans uniform and
then was detected and sent back
home.
That's no way to go about this
business" thought Mrs. Cassidy, so
down she sat and wrote a formal Of
fer of her services to Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels. She told him she
would do anything to put the Kaiser
out of commission. She would go on
a hospital ship as a nurse: she would
go as an aviatrix. If needed, only she
DIDN'T know how to fly, but preferably
she would so as a cook, something

at her home in G street My hus-
band, John, has been in the Marine
Corps ever since we were married. We
have no children. John is now In
Philadelphia doing recruiting duty.
He was a clerk in the Navy Depart
ment until America entered the war.
Then he asked for active service. l
told him 1 would volunteer also, and
he told me to go ahead.
What should like to do would be
to go to France and cook for the in
valid American soldiers. l might not
be as able to nurse them as well as
some of the girls in the pretty Red
Cross uniforms, but l know what is

NEEDY HUNGARY
Meat and Butter Cost S. a
Pound, Chickens $l0Each
and Eggs Unknown.

Famine is beginning to clutch at the
throat Of the once opulent Hungary,
according to cabled dispatches receiv-
ed by officials here in the last few
days, 1t was stated yesterday.
. In Budapest, 1t Is stated, meat is
practically unknown, and in the
provinces. the population has been re-
duced to living principally on dried
peas and dried plums. Vegetables are
selling at premium prices, vendors
even cutting up dry wood and dry
tant prices on the ground they are
vegetables Milk or cream is un-
known, and i'm the rural districts there
is no butter or cheese. Eggs are prac-
tically a minus quantity.
Used SKINNED MIX.
Green peas were selling at $1.45 a
kilogram ca pounds). An unappetiz-
ing liquid, which was once SKINNED
milk, cost 90 cents a pint. Cherries
were s6 cents per pound. Potatoes
were not to be had.
Conditions as stated by the infor-
mant were for June Is. Shortly fol-
lowing that date the authorities
sought to arbitrarily fix the price OF
vegetables at about half the vendors
were asking. This resulted in a strike,
so that in the great market places
no foodstuffs were to be had.
Inquiry developed the fact thtat the
vendors were selling their foods to
Vienna buyers. and the restriction
had to be withdrawn.
These reports are considered ex-
tremely significant in official and dip
lomatic circles here, for Hungary was
looked upon as the storehouse which
would ration the Austrian armies. II
was to get the rich farm products OF
Hungary that Count Tisza was dis.
placed as premier by the Austrians,
and the indications that the stocks
have been depleted is taken to mean
here that Austria is in direst need
and the time is ripe for the proposed
Italian offensive.

capitated Body of Missing
Baltimore Bank Man.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Baltimore, July 29.-The decapItated
body of A. warfield Rieman, Of Eas-
ton, Nd. a member of Troop A and a
bookkeeper of the Merchants and
Mechanics First National Bank OF
this city, was found in a decomposed
condition today in the woods on the
old Pimlico road.
At first the circumstances pointed
to the possibility OF a brutal murder.
but conditions as found later indi-
Gated that suicide was a more log
ical theory, whereat the coroner de-
cided that Rieman had ended his life
with a revolver, which was found
rusted at the side OF the corpse. The
head, parched beyond recognition,
was found near the feet, carried there.
perhaps, by vultures. The mans
clothes were in tatters.
Investigation revealed that Rieman
had disappeared on July Is. At that
time he was dissatisfied, II seemed,
with his status in the military ser
vice and was desirous Of withdraw
ing from the cavalry troop and seek
ing a post in another branch OF the
military. At the time he had rooms
at I226 North Calvert street.
discovery Of the body was made by
three boys on a blackberry picking
jaunt
Rieman had been missing from the
boarding house for nearly two weeks.
and II was said at the house that on
the morning OF his disappearance he
had left early and seemed TO be very
much worried.
Rieman hsd'Eaid that he had been
dismissed from the bank because Of
an alteration with a fellow employe.
but that as he was to be called out
with the troop on July 25 1t did not
make much difference.
A pawn ticket in the name OF "A.
Warfield was found in his pocket. The
article pawned was his watch.
Rieman. who was 30 years old. came
of a well-known Maryland family and
was the son of the late Henry Rie-
man, formerly a well-known packer
OF this city. His mother, Mrs. Molly
Rieman, being at present a resident of
