LONDON, Augn 9-(By MaiI-A new
problem in hospital work was presented
to the American Red Cross in Great
Britain recently by the larger number
OF small camps OF American soldier.
particularly aviators, which have been
opened In various parts OF the British
Isles. These camps are too small 10
require the installation Of a large = s.
pltal, but there are frequent cases OF
illness or accident, and the camps are
generally located at points far distant
from the regular military hospitals.
The problem has been met by the es-
Enlistment in each camp Of small
tent hospital" where American soldiers
suffering from minor ailments can. be
cared for satisfactorily. More than
fifty Of these tent hospitals have been
set up In various small Amerioan camps
during the past few weeks. each ac-
commodating from four 10 ten patients.
The soldiers welcome this arrangement

Important Statement.

Judging from the countless prepara-
tions and treatments which are continually
being advertised for the purpose OF max
ing thin people heshy, developing arms,
neck and bust, and replacing ugly hol-
lows and angles by the soft curved lines
OF health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands OF men and women who keenly
feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due TO starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that VIII supply this deficiency
20 well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bitro- phosphate, which
Is inexpensive and is sold by \. Il. Dan
forth and most all druggists under a
guarantee Of satisfaction or money back.
BY feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, bitro phosphate
quickly produces a welcome transfOrma-
tlOn In the appearance; the Increase In
weight frequently being astonishing.

Hospital, n. Y. C.. showed that two pa

man from Nebraska would have us

Representative Plat, OF New York,
speaking for the eighteen and forty
five year limits, declared that "the
Mckenzie amendment represents the
dying gasp OF the obstructlonists and
paci1sts who opposed the first draft"
Representative Mckenzie jumped TO
his feet, very indignant.
~ will not allow my patriotism and
sincerity in this war TO be questioned"
he said.
Half a dozen other members who
had spoken against lowering the age
limit also jumped up and demanded
that Mr.. Plat withdraw his statement.
The New York member refused TO
do so, and the statement went into the
record.
Representative NORM. OF Pennsyl-
vania, who led the fight in committee
year ago against fixing the low-age
limit In the selective service act below
twenty-one years, asserted that Rep
resentatlve Gordon, OF Ohio. another
opponent Of lowering the draft age,
had received information from persons
CLOSE to the French government" that
France has not called her eighteen
year-old men.
"She Is keeping them as a reservoir
and using the older men, whose use
fulness for military service would not
be so long, FIRST" he said He said that
France has now called her men nifty
three years Of age. and Is about to call
out the eighteen-year-old class.
Representative Kahn argued that the
United States should not make the
same blunders England did at the
start OF the war, In refrainlng from
calling the young men for sentimental
reasons, when II has Deen proved that
they make the best soldiers.
Kahn Recalls British Blunder.
shall we profit by England's brn-
der or shall we blunder as she did p"
asked Mr.. Kahn. England early real
ized she had blundered. Shall we wait
until It is too late before we make the
same blunder2
England herself has proflted by her
own blunder, for today she Is using
her young men on the fighting line"
Mr.. Kahn here read two provisions
OF the English conscription law, one
enacted on May %, 1916, which i'm
posed compulsory military service, he
explained, upon all those between eigh-
teen and forty-one, whether they were
married or not, and the other adopted
on April IS Of this year, which COM
PEELED men as old as fifty, or even as
old as flfty-nve years, TO enter such
service, whether they were married or
unmarried.
II stand on what General March said
the only way In which Germany can
be whipped Is by America going into
this thing with her whole strength"
he continued. Il say that this is no
time for sentiment, but for actualties.
"The War Department. as represent
ed by Secretary Baker, General March
and General Crowder, has expressed a
desire that the bill as originally framed

and discretion as to how those be

School Statistics Quoted.
General CrOwder has told us that
such a binding law as the Mckenzie
amendment would write into the bill
would seriously delay the War Depart
ment's program TO expedite the draft so
as TO enable US TO have a sufficient
army in France by the middle Of next
yesran army General March has also
told us we must have there II we are
10 bring the war TO a speedy as well as
TO a victorious termination.
"There has been considerable talk
about taking the eighteen or the nine
teen year old boy away from school or
college. have here the report OF the
Commissioner Of Education for 1917.
He says that out Of i9,99O.3iG Of a total
enrolment OF students or pupils In the
entire country he found but 629,OO0O in
the first year OF the High School, while
In the fourth year OF the high school
there were only 225.OOO left. He makes
the statement that in the higher in
stitutions Of learning there are but
100000 students enrolled.
His tables show that only ~ out OF
every 1000 who enter the first grade
Of the primary school In 1906 and 1907
will be graduated from the high school
in the present year Of 1918.
France is using her nineteen-year-
old boys now and will be using her
eighteen-year-old boys before the end
Of this war. As for Germany. she drew
upon her boys betweef seventeen and
eighteen, in December. 1916. And Ger
many, In May, 1917, began TO use her
boys between sixteen and seventeen for
active military service.
Italy takes her men for soldiers be
tween the ages Of eighteen and forty-
four, and in Japan men are liable 10
active military service between seven
teen and forty years"
Mr.. Kahn asserted the adoption Of
the Mckenzie amendment would ham
per the government and cripple the
War Departments program.
