AMERICAN WOUNDED
REACHING LONDON
Long Lines of Ambulances
Pass Through Streets With
Cheerful Burdens.
SMOKE AS THEY RIDE
Lie Side by Side With British
and Colonial Soldiers Who
Fell in Battle.

LONDON. July IS American wounded
are now arriving in London In consider
able numbers from the sections Of
France where the Americans are brig
AIDED with the British. They reach the
various main line stations on British
hospital trains, with the hundreds Of
British wounded with which the trains
are laden.
The American soldiers are receiving
the best of care and are being visited
by American women members Of a com
mittee formed to look after them As soon
as the hospital authorities give their per-
mission Most of the American cases
arriving in London are classified as serl-
Gus. About ne-fourth OF the men re-
ceived their wounds while in the fighting
line, the rest being accidents or sick
cases. In the latter category are a con-
siderable number OF men who have pneu-
mon.a or appendicitis.
Smokes for Wounded Men.
At each station long line OF British
ambulances are lined up and they take
away the men in rotation as they are
detrained. The Americans take their
turn with the rest and are transported
to whatever London hospital their par
ticular ambulance happens to represent.
The automobile ambulances used In Lon
don are of the latest type and usually
accommodate four mon.
The soldiers often receive cigarettes
as they detrain and are permitted to
smoke as they lie on the ambulane.

four miles from the railway station TO
the hospital
Most hospital trains arrive in London
In the evening and the ambulances with
their brilliant headlights and roomy
electric lighted interiors are familiar
sight in the London streets at night. The
pedestrian catches a glimpse Of the
patients through the open rear Of the
ambulance and during the last few eve
nings 1t has been often possible to see
American soldiers lying at the side OF
English, Australian and Canadian Tom
mics, al cheerfully smoking cigarettes.
Hospitals for Americans.
As soon as the American patients
reach the hospital their arrival Is re-
ported to the American Army Medica
Service and to the American Red Cross
1t IL expected that as coon as the
American authorities take over the two
London hospitals which the American
Red Cross recently amounted were to be
used exclusively for American wounded
most Of these men will be transferred
from the hospitals they are in at presen,
to a hospital which has a stan of Amer
lean doctors and nurses. Two new Amer
lean hospitals situated in the Londor
suburbs will be taken over within g

U.S.. DRY in WAR URGES
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
Leaders Are Confident Con.
gress Will Heed Prohibition
Sentiment
Washington. June Z

Wartime nationwide prohibition leg
islation separate from any entangiing
legislation will be asked of Congress by
the Anti-Saloon League Of America as
the result of the position taken by Pres
ident Wilson and Herbert Hoover,
United States food administrator. that
the question was not one to be disposed
of under the food-control act.
The following statement has been au-
thorized by the league:
The attitude of the Administration
concerning war prohibition and the
methods for securing it have been
clearly and positively set forth. 1t opens
the way for immediate, direct action by
the Congress.
I'VE believe Congress, consistent with
its strong prohibition enactments during
the last year, will respond to the over
whelming sentiment of the nation for
complete wartime prohibition"
Representative Randall, of California.
also announced full war measure will
be urged in Congress.
President Wilson's letter to Senator
Sheppard, opposing Representative Ran
dall's amendment adopted by the House
to make unavailable a s6,000.000 agri-
cultural appropriation unless the Presi-
dent exercises powers under the food
control act to prohibit the use of grains
in making beer and wines, was read to
the Senate
Frankly. was very much distressed
by the action of the House." said the
letter. II do not think that 1t is wise
or fair TO attempt to put such compulsion
on the executive in the matter in which
| he has already acted, almost to the
limit of his authority. What is almost
entirely overlooked is that there are, as
am informed, very large stocks OF
whisky in this country, and 1t seems tc
me quite certain that IL the brewing OF
beer were prevented entirely along with
all the other drinks. many of then
harmless, which are derived from food oil
feedstuffs, the consumption of whisky
would be stimulated and increased to q
very considerable extent.
| MY own judgment is that 1t is wis,
and statesmanlike to let the situation
stand as 1t is for the present, until a
any rate l shall be apprised by the fooC
administration that 1t is necessary II
the way suggested still further to con
serve the supply ofFfood and feedstuffs
The food administration has net though
it necessary to go any further than w
have in that matter already gone"

AMERICANS CHECK BIG ODDS
Outnumbered . to l, Patrol

Washington. June Z. - Outnumbered
two TO one. an American patrol held
IT'S ground In Lorraine on the night of
June for three-quarters of an hour
and only retired when its ammunition
was exhausted. says a communicate from
General Pershing. The official text fol-
lows:
During the night of June to June 3
one of our patrols operating in Lorraine
and consisting Of about forty men en-
countered hostile patrol of double its
size drawn up in skirmish formation
along line parallel to that of our own
patrol. Both patrols opened fire with
rifes. pistols, grenades and automatic
rife. and each tried to outflank the
other. Our patrol. in spite of being
greatly outnumbered. held its ground
for three-quarters of an hour. inflicted
losses on the enemy and retired only
when its ammunition was almost ex-
hausted. Our casualties were very light.
During the night of June to June S
one OF our patrols operating in Lorra inc
penetrated the enemy's positions and ad-
vanced behind his second-line trenches
1t inflicted on the enemy losses in killed
and wounded and withdrew successfully
under cover of barrage from our Stokes

purchasers of Liberty Bonds On their
holdings, but It would weigh heavily
upon the shirkers who have not bought
them. 1t would make the return from
Liberty Bonds compare favorably with
the return from other securities.
1T would give the Governments
bonds an essential and necessary advan-
tage over these of corporate borrowers
and would very greatly decrease the
relative advantage which State and
municipal bonds now enjoy through the
total exemption which they carry. 1t
would produce 4 gradual REIMBURSEMENT
of the situation in the investment mar
kets instead of an abrupt one. as would
be the case If the interest rate on Lib
erty Bonds should be increased.

'There Is another feature deserving
of consideration. We are asking the
people to finance this war and We are
offering them an investment paying

responded wonderfully to this appeal.
