tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL Ls.sso ~tssS


With the British Army in France,
May 2S (by the Associated Press, y
German airmen again have bombed
heavily British hospitals in the area
behind the lines and this time have
killed and wounded some hundreds
among the personnel and patients of
many different hospitals in the group.
Recorded in the casualty list are
the names of several sisters, who with
other nurses stood bravely at their
posts throughout a terrific deluge Of
explosives.
There is in the neighborhood one
large hospital and another in which
there are American workers, but
neither of these appear to have suf-
fered. Last summer a number of
American doctors and nurses were
killed and wounded when these same
hospitals were raided by the Germans.
This latest horror was perpetrated
Sunday night, apparently by four
squadrons of enemy planes which ap-
pear to have comprised more than a
score of machines. A great number
of bombs were dropped. about 80 per
cent of them were huge affairs, which
dug vast craters in the hospital
grounds, and the rest high explosive
shrapnel which sent their deathdea
ing bullets tearing in every direction
through the crowded hospital tents.
A three-seated airplane was brought
down by gunfire which was flying at
low altitude and the occupants made
prisoner. The enemy captain and the
pilot sustained comparatively light
shrapnel wounds, while the observer
was not hurt.
When questioned why he had di-
rected his men against hospitals, the
captain explained in a matter-of-fact
way that he did not see the Red Cross
signs. He was seeking military objec
tives and had no desire to molest hos
pitals.
With a shrug of his shoulders. the
German captain added that If the Brit
ish chose to build their hospitals near
railways. they must expect to get them
bombed.
In one building which was damaged
most seriously all the patients were
suffering from compound fractures,
which made necessary their limbs be-
ing strapped in the air. Not a woman
deserted her ward, but throughout the
terrible bombing each one kept going
her rounds and quieting the unfortu-
nate men, who might easily have done
themselves lasting harm by springing
from their beds.
Several sisters were among the
wounded. Many other workers were
wounded; including several medical
officers.

search for a suitable landing place
and finally chose small plateau on
high hill north of the city. A
strong wind added to the difficulties
of the landing.

tember 30 last was challenged.
Thorough investigation was made inn
mediately, convincing us that We dis
triubted inaccurately one important
phrase, to which attention has been
directed by the senator's counsel

tatons attributed to Senator La Fol-

with our rights to travel on the high

The Pioneer Press, from which our

Is the recollection of the editor who

In the meantime, only the artillery

armies are showing great activity.
The German official report men,

tacks on the western bank of the

operations for gaining better defen-
siye positions or disturbing the enemy
in his preparations for the great bat
tie.
In the air, however, the fighting has
seemed to grow in intensity. From
every sector along the front, aerial
squadrons have been engaged in COM
bats in which heavy losses have been
inflicted.

TEACHING HIM BAD HABITS
Children and Grandchildren Of "Fa'

the Old Gentleman Astray.

Here is a very human little story
which President Samuel GomPers

The eminent labor leaders father
is still living. He is ninety-two years
and hale and hearty, with a keen in
terest in current events. On his
ninety-second birthday his children
and grandchildren gave him a fam
lily dinner and reception. The fine
old gentleman sat at the head Of the
table and smilingly faced the bonn
bardment of good wishes.
At the close of the dinner cigar
cites were passed and finally Father
Gomper8 was persuaded to smoke
one.
"It's my first offense," he said as
he cautiously pulled at the little
tube.
A little later the photograph was
started on a two-step, and presently
the patriarch was dragged into the
dance.
Then quite suddenly one Of the
Gompers boys raped loudly on the
table.
'"This is outrageous he cried.

ADVICE TO APPLE GROWERS
Study Of Market Requirements Would
Pay Well, According to Prominent
New York Newspaper.

Apples are cheaper as the season
approaches its end, but the market
is not glutted with greetings, spitz-
enbergs or northern spies, the de-
mand for which always exceeds the
supply, says the New York Com
mercial. These three varieties attain
their highest perfection in north
ern New York, New England and
Canada. The snow apple is seldom
seen, though it is one Of the finest
early winter apples. 1t is more sub
ject to scab than the others, but with
care it can be produced free from
blemish. Another desirable variety
is the red astrakhan, a beautiful
summer apple. If eastern pomolo-
gists would specialize in these yarie-
ties, take care of their orchards and
pack their fruit properly they would
easily have the first call in city mar
kets whore the people pay the price
for fancy grades. Spitzenbergs and
screenings bear more regularly year
after year than other varieties. In
New York city the spitzenberg holds
first place for table use and the
greening for cooking. The time tC
Judge market requirements is in thu
spring, when anyone can see what ap
pies are scarce and what have beeI
left over. In all lines of business
the thing to do is to produce wha
the people want.

SAYS OLD IDEA is WRONG
Present Method Of Enriehing Soil With

The old idea that the best way to
grow fine crops is to enrich the
ground with manure receives a ter
rible jolt from Sampson Morgan in
an article in Chemical News. He
holds that we are running the quality
of our wheat by feeding the soil with
unclean matter; that the latest ex-
periments show hal powdered gran

only fertilizer that will produce the
hard wheat with its high content Of
gluten.
Mr.. Morgan urged hat all garb-
age and animal refuse be reduced to
ashes before being spread upon the
ground. ''The soil has been fouled
with the filth of civilization" he
says. "The importance of purifca-
ton by fire has been ignored too
long, at least by western nations.
The ashes from these fires are Of un-
told value to the cultivator Of the
