AS yet only 4 few soldiers have been
sent from France, but more and more
are expected as the days of spring go
by. There are at present 936 patients
at the hospital.
Every method of modern medical in
genuity will be taken advantage of to
restore wounded soldiers, and to make
them "better than new"
AS sample of what the hospital is do
ing may be instanced the case of Private
John "A. McCusker. jr., of the 23d En-
gineers. who is recovering from terrible
burns suffered at the Belyoir, Va, camp
six weeks ago.
Young McCusker, in attempting to put
out a fire caused by leakage of gasoline
tanks. was covered with flame from head
to foot when three tanks burst. He was
given first aid at the camp hospital. and
then rushed to the Walter Reed, where
doctors have battled for his life.
He is coming along finely today"
said Col. TRULY, in charge of the hos
pital.
The latest Sammies to arrive from the
trenches are Corp. J.. L. Jackson of the
the Engineer Corps. The former had
his rig leg severed below the knee. and
the latter had an arm taken off by

SEEKS AID OF WOMEN.
Clarence 0usley Declares Labor
Problem Is Community Task.

The responsibility for furnishing
labor for the farm this year is a COM
munity and not a governmental one,
declares Clarence Ousley, assistant
secretary of agriculture. He urged that
women seek to replace men in cities at
brief intervals to enable the men TO
work on farms during the cuitivating
and harvesting season, pointing out
that cit should be understood that the
man-power of the country is not yet
exhausted and that except for lighter
tasks. men are better adapted than
women for farm work"
Secretary of Labor Wilson has ap-
peale6 to newspapers in many cities of
more than 10000 population to aid in
mobiiizing farm labor. They are asked
to establish farm labor agencies where
the United States employment service
has no Office.
