DENTAL CORPS OF
ARMY CAN TAKE
CARE OF 100000 MEN

The dental requirements of an
army Of more than 100000 men
can now be met by the present force
of the dental corps of the United
States army. Examinations have
been closed and no further additions
will be made to the corps for some
time. The number of dental officers
has expanded since war was declared
from fifty-eight to $50. Com
missions were offered to 5467 dent
lists in all parts Of the country and
all but 271 were accepted.
The average number of tooth FILL
ings in the army ranges from 1885,
600 to 100000 a month. Special
dental infirmaries have been estab-
lished in the camps and cantonments
to which newly indicted soldiers are
sent for examination shortly after
arrival in the camps.
A school for dental instruction
has been established, where eighty
five officers are assigned each month
to take the two-months' course.

MONEY INSTEAD OF
MERCHANDISE SHOULD
BE SENT TO SOLDIERS

The original order that the ap-
proval of regimental or higher
commander was necessary before
packages might be sent to members
of the expeditionary forces has been
modified SO officers with the rank
of major and higher may approve
shipments. The approval of COM
pany commander is not sufficient.
The question of the shipment of
parcels to France first came to the
attention of the war department
when the commanding general of
the expeditionary forces called that
congestion of such articles had
reached such a point that French
railroads were unable to handle the
load. A board appointed by the
secretary of war and the postmaster
general examined 5000 sacks of par
celpost mail, and found that the art
icles being sent not only, in the main
were absolutely unnecessary, but un-
desirable. The investigation showed
that the amount of such mail had
reached a total of 100000 pounds
a week, and was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according
to a recent statement by the war de-
part, will find they often can do
greater service to soldiers by send
ing them money for the purchase of
articles in France than by forward
ing the articles. Tobacco is now be-
ing supplied as part Of the army ra-
lions, and merchandise of nearly all
kinds may now be purchased in
France thru the huge general store
established by the quartermaster
corps at lower prices than charged
by retailers here.

Sabotage Ideas
Read at Trial

CHICAGO.-Views of some 1O1
| |. w. w. leaders, on trial for sedi-
tious conspiracy, and associates, that
sabotage has taken root in the army
and that congress, the government
and the courts are dominated by
Wall street, went into the record
Thursday.
On behalf of the defense, attorneys
began reading extracts from |. w. w.
literature, including pamphlet
written by Walker H. Smith on "Sa-
botage," some of which were as fol-
lows: -. h
Nor can the military forces be
employed against sabotage. The
employers could not long afford to
have soldier guard over each
worker. The workers, in fact, would
Immediately rebel when placed un-
der such espionage. Neither is there
any surety that sabotage will not
have permeated the army. 1t is
there already, and it is growing in
favor.
Security Rests on Contentment
''The employers we'll know that
their rule rests upon the peaceful
acquiescence of the workers. They
will scarcely undermine their own
foundations by employing soldiers to
massacre an entire force when a
militant minority use sabotage"
Chief Prosecutor Frank X. Ne
beker insisted attorneys for the de-
Tense read other extracts. One Of
the extracts he wanted the jury to
hear read:
What would be more reasonable
than to make powder that would not
explode?'
James P. Thompson, |. w. w. lee
turer and defendant, finished his
testimony at noon, after being on the
stand much of the time for three
days. He told his views that the
money interests were all-powerful
over the social system, the judicial,
executive and other branches of gov
eernment.

NEW REGULATIONS
PROVIDE FOR IMPORTA-
TION OF MEXICAN LABOR

To assist in meeting the present
shortage in unskilled labor restric-
tons have been temporarily removed
on the importation of Mexican labor
to be used in certain occupations.
This step supplements the order by
which the department of labor has
arranged to bring Porto Rican lab
orers into this country for work on
government contracts. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 islanders can be
brought in while transportation is
available.
New regulations on the subject of
Mexican labor contain rigid provis-
ions to prevent any attempt at ex-
plOitation on the part of prospective
employers. Wage rates current for
similar labor in the localities in
which the admitted alien is to be en-
ployed are assured, as we'll as good
housing and sanitation conditions.
Applications for permission to i'm
port Mexican labor under the new
provisions may be filed with United
States immigration or employment
service officials, giving the number
of laborers desired, class of work,
wages and place of employment.

AMERICANS, OUTNUMBERED
FIGHT HOPELESSLY TO LAST

AMSTERDAM. - Telegraphing
from the German headquarters on

June "a, Herman Katsch, war cor

In the course of our dashing at
tack to the north of Renneres wood
northwest of Seicheprey) the
American occupants of a position
which had been untouched by our
preparatory fire, refused to sur
render and fought hopelessly, out
numbered to the last. We could
only bring in as prisoners two men
who were overpowered."
The dispatch goes on to say that
these two prisoners declared their
detachment had fought so desper-
ately because they had been told that
Germans tortured and mutilated
prisoners, which the correspondent
OF course, qualities as a base
calumny.
