Blue GOWNS Are BUSY
Restoring Manned Soldiers. to

aReconstruetIon Aids" Coax Wasted
Muscles Back TO Their Nor
NAL State.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., nurses and
healer. too, are the blue Gowns" of
the army medical corps, at work now
in the hospitals of the United States
and "over there"
Reconstruction aids is their official
name, but the CHEEKY hue OF their dis
tinctive uniform already has won a
handler name for the special corps OF
seventy women whose membership
treats and teaches among the manned
soldiers brought back from the battle
front. Theirs is the work of coaxing
back the wasted muscles and disused
limbs of wounded men, and later by
patient tutoring instilling deftness in
new arts and vOcations which the hos
pital schools are planning for the re-
turned soldier.
Most of the blue Gowns were re-
cruited from the instruction STATS of
manual training schools and civilian
hospitals.
Beside a table a young fellow In
uniform was carving a conventional
flower border on a wooden picture
frame" says an official description of
their work. 1.-THE design was his WI
and the work was his first piece. He
was inclined to be clumsy because he
was using his left hand. A Blue
Gown was ready to guide and advise
him. AS he becomes adept In left-hand-
ed carving he is preparing for the time
when he again Will begin to draft, this
time with his left hand. This mental
concentration upon a new task is be-
lieved by doctors and psychologists to
be a valuable antidote for discourage
ment.
"At the same open-air workshop one
man was knitting a scarf. One group
of men, temporarily crippled, were
carving designs upon wooden blocks,
and several were learning to cay up
on hand LOOMS"
In the treatment rooms inside the
"Blue Gowns" were guiding electrical
appliances and administering the com
plicated series of treatments that per
feet the restoration work started by
the surgeon at the front.

American Digestive Ap-

Paris.-One of the struggles in
which the French soldiers became in
volved when the Germans swept across
was with chewing gum. l refer to
Chicle Americans, the-to us-well-
known vegetable product which may
be found adhering to the underside of
desks, to shoe soles, and to trouser

An American ambulance train was

drive, and the army post exchanges
established and operated for 1t by the
Y. M. G. A. were well supplied with
the things which are necessary to the
comfort-physical and mental-of the
American soldier. The Red Triangle
officials had established a ~storehouse
to supply these. exchanges, and a car
load of supplies had been shipped to 1t
just before the Germans started their
drive. The carload carbohydrates
chocolate, tobacco, canned goods,
cookies, etc.-a considerable quantity
Of chewing gum.
When the drive started the Red Tri-
angle workers available started out
with what they could carry to serve
the men to whom they were attached.
The storehouse was left deserted. As
the French retired they foraged to
keep supplies from falling into en-
envy hands, using what they could and
destroying the rest.
The Poilus who came upon the
chewing gum-like most Frenchmen-
were totally unfamiliar with 1t. They
knew only that 1t looked like food.

with other things they knew to be

brief period Of m%astication they es-
saved to swallow II. Too many OF

casualties resulted the Poilus were In

was merely one of transportation

LEAGUE OFFICIALS ARRESTED
NoN-PARTISAN lEAGUE LEADERS IN
TROUBLE HERE AND IN MINNESOTA.

A. c. Townley, president of the
National Non-Partisan league
was arrested by Sheriff Carver
of Martin county on warrant
charging him with conspiracy to
discourage enlistments and to
obstruct the draft. The charges
were based Oh section of a pam
phlet issued last June in which
the war aims" of the | e a & u e
were put forth among other fea-
lures in its propaganda. Joseph
Gilbert, secretary Of the league,
was arrested on a similar war
rant.
w. L. Darnell, a farm e of
Burke, S. D., who recently wrote
a smart letter to the Nebraska
council of defense was also ar
rested in Gregory county last
week by Deputy United States
Marshal Hickey of Yankton, who
was accompanied there by O. v.
Lamb, special investigator Of
Sioux Falls.
The letter of Darnell to the
Nebraska council involved the
Non-Partisan league, of which he
is member, urged the stopping
of the war. LaFollette for presi.
dent, referred to the "humiliatine
position of the United States"
and bitterly arraianed England.
Darnell was seized at Burke,
shortly after his letter became
public, by the Home Guards at
that point and held, pending the
arrival of the federal authorities.
According to the CIR e CORY
County authorities, Darnell is
one of the leaders of the Non.
Partisan movement in that coun.
ty, and after his seizure by the
Home Guard, admitted the letter
and is said to have stated in Jail
that Germany was right in the
war and that he purposed to say
what he pleased about it. He is
we'll to do and is said to have
offered a $4,000 cash bond to the
jailor for his release.

The order of the federal fuel
commissioner restricting South

coal has created much discussion
during the past week. AS the
full effect of the order, not only
in this county, but throughout
the state, becomes apparent, the
storm of protest rises. Indica-
tions are growing that the order
will be modified and that Philip
dealers may be able to get east

Why should the people of South

Dear Sis: Well how goes it in
the good old u. S. A? We are
having a fine time over here, do
ing lots of travelling, seeing lots
of country and different people.
Of course we have had few
minor discomforts to put up with,
but a fellow can find fun in them
even.
The last move we made we
travelled in box cars, vans" they
call them over here, thirty men
in each car. It sure was crowd
ed and cold, especially at night,
but we really enjoyed ourselves
nevertheless. The whole outfit
was certainly a dirty, crummy
looking bunch when we unload
ed here.
We have a fine place to train,
one of the best in the country.
We are quartered in nice, new,
barracks fitted out with electric
lights and heating stoves. Each
man has a new steel spring cot
with a straw tick to sleep on.
Believe me, we sure sleep, too,
after drilling all day. Tomorrow
the driver squads and chiefs Of
section are to receive their first
lesson in the art of riding artil-
lery horses. We think we can
ride, they don't. They win. 1t
sure looks funny to see them
bouncing up and down on their
horses. Iexpect I'll hit the saw
dust about the first hurdle try.
If they would only give a fellow
a white mans saddle instead of a
bloody" pancake, to ride on it
might be different.
Well, / must close. Our cap
tain won't stand for us writing
