Hospital Quarters Needed.

Hospital Quarters Needed.
Permanent buildings of a modern
type to supplant the tents and tenn
porary structures now occupied by
Red Cross base hospitals in France
are urgently needed before winter sets
in. according to cables received from
Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, Red
has cabled the Red Cross war. council
to ship quantities of building ma
terials at once.
Increased suffering. owing especial
ly to the shortage of coal, will result
unless structures built to Withstand
the cold can be erected before the
rigors of a French winter grip the
country. The building problem is SO
serious in France, owing to the search
ty of timber. that Major Murphy
cabled for the immediate shipment of
two million feet of fir.
Giant fir, trees are now being felled
on the banks- of the Columbia river,
in Oregon and Washington, and hur-
riedly loaded aboard a ship waiting to
carry the lumber through the Pana-
ma canal to New York where two
complete portable saw mills will be
taken on, as we'll as other building
material, before the ship sails for
France.
The supplies requested by Major
Murphy include four concrete mixers,
four portable rock crushers and
portable engines. and two gasoline
tractors to be used in the construction
work. These will be taken aboard al
New York. There are already a num-
Der of expert engineers with the Red
Cross commission to France who will
superintend the erection Of the new
hospital buildings.
The American Red Cross now has
more han a dozen base hospitals in
France, each equipped with at least
five hundred beds, and each in charge
OF twenty-five physicians, two den
lists, sixty-ive Red Cross nurses and
$50 enlisted men of the medical corps.
Additional doctors and nurses have
been sent to a number of the hospi-
tails.

llIAVY FIGHTING
ALONG AISNE FRONT
Fresh Divisions of Germans
Makes Violent Assault on
French Line Near the
Laffaux Mill.

some heavy fighting is in progress
on the Aisne front in northern
France, where the French are en-
tsenched in favorable positions after
their notable advances in the spring
campaign.
The Germans apparently have
heavily reinforced their troops in this
sector by men brought from the Rus
sian front and one such division was
sent into the fighting directly after
its arrival, making an attack yester-
day between the Ailette river and the
Laffaux mill.
The assault, while along front
OF apparently less than q mile, was
OF extremely violent character. The
French stopped the German rush, sui.
fering only a slight penetration OF
their first line at two points aggre-
eating between 800 and 700 yards,
Paris reports.
Even this slight gain was partly
negatived this morning when
French counter attack resulted in the
recapture OF a portion of the lost
ground. The crown princes troops
lost heavily in the fighting and the
French captured fifty prisoners.
Berlin's report on the attack Of
Yesterday claims the capture OF more
than l,500 yards of trenches.
