FRENCH WAR PRISONERS
ESCAPE IN AEROPLANES

Paris, Sept. 10.-(By Mail)-One
OF the most spectacular escapes of
prisoners of war recently occurred on
the Saolniki front where four French
soldiers who had been taken prison
ers by the Bulgarians were carried
back to their own lines In aeroplanes.
After their capture the four men
were tightly bound, but their cap
tors forgot to search them. During
the night one OF the men succeeded
in freeing himself with his pocket
knife and he then liberated his three
comrades. The men eluded the sem
tries and fled into the woods. For
three weeks the men hid themselves
in the woods. living on wild berries.
Finally they sighted French aero
plane and after repeated signals sue
ceeded in attracting the attention of
the aviator who made a landing not
far from where the men were hiding.
They explained their plight and the
aviator asked them to wait until he
returned. A few hours later he
came back with three other ma
chimes and all four prisoners were
carried back to the French lines.

HUGE AMOUNT OF
VACCINE NEEDED
GOVERNMENT PLANNING TO IN
OCuLATE EVERY MANN
THE ARMY.

Washington, oct. with the
raising of the American army to the
enormous size contemplated one of
the most important problems in con-
nection with their preparation for
service will be incubation against the
various maladies which may threaten
the lives Of the soldiers.
The size of this problem may be
understood when it is stated that the
several vaccines for this purpose are
manufactured by army experts in one
building in Washington. This one
medical force has the task of turning
out vaccine for an army which may
reach well over 100000 men.
Whether the force can cope with
this job is yet to be seen. There is
every proba bility that it can, howev-
err The same doubt was expressed
last year when the National Guards
men modified for the Mexican Dor
der. The Medical Corps rose to the
OCeAslOI, HOWeNtT.
Requires Great Skill.
The force which does this work
is housed in the Army Medical School
here, where Medical Corps officers re-
ceive their training. The force is
composed of one officer, usually
Captain in the Medical Corps of the
army; several assistants and a group
OF privates in the Medical Corps.
The work is of the most exacting
nature and requires not only profess
sional skill but an expert ability to
utilize special apparatus which forms
the equipment of the factory" This
factory, by the way, occupied only
one floor of the school last year.
One of the most important jobs is
the preparation of anti-typhoid SER
UNI. So valuable is the work in this
line that samples have been contri-
buted to foreign armies for develop
ment.
In this connection, it may be stat
ed that the American Medical Corps
has one of the finest typhoid germ
colonies in the world.
The colony was developed from a
soldier who died from typhoid in the
Boer war; The original culture are
still in use. Developments from them
were sent to- the Japanese army med
zeal authorities last year for use. No
doubt they have played their part in
the war in Europe.
A unit from a colony is cultivated,
put thru various involved technical
processes, and finally the finished
product is given the most exhaustive
tests on living animals as a precau-
ton.
When it has been proved safe" it
is bottled in a special kind of flask.
Flasks of the vaccine are packed in
strong, handy boxes for distribution
to the army as called for.
When the soldier goes into service
he is inoculated several times against
typhoid, smallpox, etc. AS the num-
Der of soldiers now being called out
exceeds anything ever imagined in
this country before war started, it
can readily be seen what a job the
medical corps has on its hands.

This may sound queer to the lay

the same salaries everywhere, sol
