'U.S.A." TELEGRAPH
LINES In FRANCE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Jan. 31.-Correct time soon
will be transmitted to the entire
American expeditionary force over its
own system of telegrap lines. AT
present wireless stations each day
at a certain hour pick from the air
figures flashed from Paris by which
the clocks of the army are synchron-
lied. This method does not insure
absolute accuracy.
When the last links of the tele-
fraph system are connected each day
at IL O'Clock simultaneous signal
will be sent to every station so that
through the existing zone and, later
on, at the front as well, clocks and
watches will show the same time.
This synchonization is desirable I'M
der present conditions and it is an
absolute necessity with troops at the
front when for instance, orders may
specify that some operation is to be
carried out at any point at a certain
time and another operation at anoth-
er point at another time. The success
of both operations may depend upon
them being launched virtually on the
second.
Miles upon miles of telegraph lines
strung on poles labeled ~. S. A., now
stretch through France. They may
be found running to base ports, zig
tagging through the instruction zone
over hills, through valley, along a
roadside On some of the poles there
are double cross beams supporting III
many cases as many as tons of wires.
There is a complete system of opera
tors and central exchanges as well as
"a considerable force of linemen and
repairmen quite a number of whom
worked for telephone and telegraph
companies in the United States before
the war The service" caves little if
anything to be desired

At the Alcazar Today.

"The Rise of Jennie Cushing" the
Aircraft production now being shown
al the Alcazar theatre, is big, human
subject. Elsie Ferguson, the noted
stage star beauty, who recently capitu'
lated to motion pictures, plays the
title role. The struggles of this girl,
born in the slums, of unknown parent
age, present an arrangement of mod
ern society. In the book by Mary S.
Watts, Jennie Cushing commanded adj
miration, appealing to the sympatihes
not by her helplessness but through
her grit and determination to rise
fNBm her lowly surroundings AS
played by Miss Fergusan, the role
receives added viriIity, and the play
will long be remembered by those who
see it.

HEARTLESS DOCTORS
ROUSE BAKERS IRE

WASHINGTON, January 31.-A
heavier punishment than dismissal
from the service was recommended
by Secretary Baker last night for two
army medical officers recently con-
victed by court martials of mistreating
sick soldiers. The yerdicts were re-
turned disapproyed to the trial courts.
Lieut.. John G. Dwyer was tried at
Camp Funston Evidence showed that
soldier in advanced stages of pneu-
rlonia who reported for treatment was
reprimanded for failure to salute and
sent back to duty, and the doctor urg>
ed that the man be given double duty.
He died a few days later.
Lieut.. Charles w Cole was in
charge of the base hospital at Camp
Beauregard when an ambulance lead
ed with sick men came from the regi-
mental infirmary 1t was shown the
officer kept the men waiting nearly
an hour in the cold and rain before
he went out to look at them. He then
ordered them taken back to camp,
saying he had no room. The ambu-
lance driver protested that one man
was delirious and was Instructed to
tie the patient up. Two of the pa
tients died. IT was shown that while
the hospital was crowded, the nine
patients could have been taken in.

AMERICAN RED CROSS

Expenditures of the American Red
Cross in England from October,
1917. to the end Of June, including
contributions to the British Red
Cross and British Ambulance COM
mittee, totaled $4,313,56S according
to the latest of the series of reports
which the war council is making to
the American people relative to the
use being made of the Red Cross war
fund. Prior to October, when the
commission for England was created,
the work of caring for American
troops in that country was performed
by the London chapter at cost of
$493,459, this amount including
$39,612 expended for the relief of
the Tuscania survivors. For the
work in the United Kingdom during
the last half of this year an appro-
priation of $4,4S3,S00 has been
made.
The policy of brigading American
with British troops greatly increased
the work of the American Red Cross
in England, the report says. Three
new Red Cross hospitals, one with a
bed capacity of 5000 are nearing
completion over there. Hospital
service required an expenditure OF
$969,382 up to the end of June, and
1,431 900 has been set aside for
this work for the last half of the
year. The sum of $2,003,4O0 has
been appropriated for camp work in
England during the six months end
ing December 81. $4,000 of this
amount being allotted to provide
every American soldier in England
with Christmas present. Up to the
end of June camp work cost only
$l19,25O the increased appropriation
rejecting the increase of the number
of men to be cared for in the last hall
of the year. A special appropriation
Of $429,3OO has been made for the
continuance of the American Red
Cross canteen service in the United
Kingdom.
In the period ending June 80, do

it printed along with the list we are
carrying in the paper.
