FACE DEATH TO AID WOUNDED
Surgeons, Ambulance Men and Nurses
Display Great Bravery In Work
on the Firing Line.

One Of the splendid pages of this
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 9TH 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

FEW WOUNDS BY COLD STEEL
ehrapnel and Shell Fragments Cause
Greatest Trouble Owing to Greater
Danger OF Infection.

Much IL said about the comparative
ly 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
dictate 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 arc
more frequently lodged In wounds than
are rife 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 shrapnel 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, rife and trench NOR
tar, revival In late wars of an earlier
practice, recently have been used t
= conspicuous extent In Flanders ant
France. Their wounds differ In nj
material particular from those of shell
fragments and subterranean mines"

The gallant and dashing Colonel Fa-
bry-the Blue Devil of France"-made
his bow to America in a hat as dash
ing as himself. Nothing in head
covering ever seemed SO exactly suited
to it's wearer as the daring tam with
which the great French soldier chose
to crown his head. Its style was alto
gether too captivating to pass with
mere notice; Immediately the Fabry
tam appeared In smart millinery
shops and on the heads OF smart
women.
Now, II one knows how to wear 1t,
there Is nothing In headwear more cap
tivattng than a tam. Miss America
knows that 1t has little air of rak-
ishness which is offset by the hand

and another 1000 dark blue felt hats.
Government Sets Styles.
The tendency In all the new clothes
is toward the silhouette adopted by
the government for It's enlisted women.
Skirts are narrow and Of reasonable
length, blouses are simple, with wide
turnover collars Of lace or white wash
material, and jackets are short and
made on mannish model, depending
on the cut for distinction.
Those who do not care for suits ara
fitting out their wardrobes with cotton
frocks. Even at the smartest hotels
in the heart Of great centers, fashion
able women are appearing in checked
ginghams with broad straw hats.
This is fashion which has never
been tolerated in the majority of great
American cities. Such clothes have
always been kept for the suburban
towns and the country, and when a
woman found it necessary to go on the
street Of a great city during the heat
Of the day, she felt that tradition de-
manded that she subject herself to the
discomfort of a suit. She preferred
to pass away from moisture in blue
serge coat and skirt, then roam the
streets In a checked cotton gown and
white shoes.
Now, the embargo on such costum-
cry is lifted. The only one costume
which Is comfortable and Is yet taboo
In city streets is the separate skirt

War Activities
Affect Clothes

New York.-War relief work has
given an unusual stimulation to the
clothes industry. The dressmakers
were not in a happy frame of mind
during the spring. They felt as If Ill
luck were hitting them all along the
line. There was an offensive against
the center and the ends.
First, there were the enormous
prices that had to be paid to the
French designers for the gowns that
were sent to this country as inspira-
tons for new work. Added to the
prices was the serious danger of not
being able to get the clothes that
were ordered through the lack of
transportation that came after this
government dismissed the German am
bassador.
The renewed activity Of the subma
rine campaign was liable to make Mr..
Ginty and French gowns comrades on
the sands Of the sea.
When the prices had been paid by
the dressmakers for the spring gowns
and the transportation had proved Sc
economy cry was raised.
The dressmakers and the shopkeep-
ers who sell clothes had not had suf-
f1cient time to realize profit on their
vast expenses for French gowns in
March, and the majority of them de-
cided, possibly unwisely, that they
would hold sweeping sales in order
to clear out whatever they had before
economy brought aboW crash in
commerce. The shops were also COM
PEELED to pay their salaries during this
troublous time, and they believed that
they could do this more easily by hold
ing sales. They would get cash, and
they would keep the workrooms busy
by alterations.
New Clothes for Quiet People.
By the time a great many people
who deal in womens apparel consid-
cred themselves on the verge of nerv-
GUS prostration through the strain OF
the spring, there came into the whole
clothes situation a glimmer of light
that has broadened into strong ray
OF sunshine.
1t has created optimism in all quar-
tiers. 1t came through war relief &C
tivities. That seems an astounding
thing to have happened. but it is an
other phase Of the proverb, ut Is ar

clothes demanded by women for their
new activities, is the reversal to the
simplest form OF warm-weather cos

but the entire thing happened where
1t only could happen, In this tremen-
dously prosperous country.
The beginning of the war has been
written in chapters of activity on this
side and fighting on the other side.
Literally, millions of women insisted
upon doing their bit. The drive OF the
Red Cross, which was nationwide; the
extraordinary grouping together OF va
rious units for sane and instant relief !;
the hospital work, the arrangement for
providing comfort kits for the navy,
the league work Of rolling bandages,
are merely few of the dominant ac-
tivities which interest women this
summer.
While those who are rich and fash
ionable have put their shoulders to
the wheel with tremendous energy and
enthusiasm, the appeal for workers
has gone into the byways and hedges
of social life.
The summer, therefore, is a season
to be filed with intense activity and
a great national grouping of women
from every rank and file Of human life
on this continent, all met together un
der one flag.
This extraordinary condition 'con
Meeting the buying Of new clothes ant
the doing Of war relief work, appears
