of the wounded, particularly those
who are crippled and MANNED.
This kind OF preparation does not
make very attractive reading, but AZ
the same time 1t is comforting to
know that the same wonderful things
which have been done in Europe TO
recover for the individual the use OF
a partially injured limb or, as In the
case OF injured vision, to teach trade
and occupation that can be carried
on without sight-all this has been
carefully Investigated by our medical
corps and q personnel especially de-
tailed to look out for this unfortu-
nate, but, nevertheless, necessary side
of the medical corps is already ac-
lively at work
Restore Many MANNED.
The Importance of this is obvious
when 1t is considered that there are
more than O,OoO men injured every
year in industrial accidents, and
practically no effort Is made to re-
claim these men. This IS due partly
to the great. expense involved, and
partly to the fear or unwillingness
of the individual to undergo neces-
sary operations.
In the army. however. It will be
found that the very best practice
will be applied to individual cases,
and that a great proportion OF tite
manned will be returned to civilian
life and civilian occupation. From
the viewpoint of the Government, OF
course, II is a distinct advantage to
reclaim these wounded men, because
in the usual run OF things. such men
became public charges and the state
must support them.
Volumes might be written about
the plans made to safeguard the
health OF the army. The best minds
in the country. our best specialists
and physicians of nationwide repute
are already In uniform. The organ
ization is not yet complete. All the
facilities are not yet available. But
all that can be done is being done.
and II a great army Of 100000 men
will have been encamped before the
war Is over, as now seems to be the
prospect, the percentage OF loss from
illness and disease should be much
lower than Il ever has been in our
history or In analogous circumstances
abroad.
The Washington times., 1918-03-15

Irrespective OF the military side is
this advantage; the experience gain
ed in treating every variety Of dis
eases and ailments encountered In q
war will be available for reference
after the war to civilian hospitals
and physicians in private practice.
incidentally, even the men who are
accepted into the army. but who have
chronic ailments will be treated by
physicians, so that many OF them
who would have remained Indifferent
to physical disabilities nf Il slight
character, but which eventually might
have troubled them, will through
their experience in the army become
better fitted physically TO take up
civilian pursuits after the war than
they otherwise would have been.

There are now 1000 nurses and. in a

Accounts for Epidemics.
He accounts for the epidemics OF
measles on the ground that many Of

and have never lived in the thickly
populated sections OF the country. He
believes that there Is some relation

down the sick rate in the latter all

The surgeon-general thought that
one inevitable difficulty arose from
the fact that the medical corps had
to be trained at the same time that
It was being expanded. And Its Of

very moment that the training as

complaint against hospital attendants

VETERAN BANKER
is IMPRISONED

TT. Madison, May 14.-Convicted
five years ago of using fraudulent
methods in his banking business,
Adam Kiefer, aged 20 years, was re-
ceived at the state prison here yester-
day. He has been sentenced to ten
years, the supreme court finally up
holding the decision of the lower
courts in his case after the case had
dragged through for long time with
out any decision being reached.
The case was a well known one at
the time Kiefer was convicted. He and
his brother had been bankers at Halle
ton, for twenty years and he had lived
there for forty years. The specific
charge against the man was receiving
money on deposit after he knew the
bank was insolvent. approximately
100000 was the amount involved In
the case when it came to light.
Although it is claimed that the bank
had been insolvent since the beginning
of 1913 Kiefer declares that had he
been given more of chance and a
little more time he would have been
able to make good the loss. He start
ed on his sentence here grimly yester-
day, making no other statement except
to mutter that his misfortune was due
to personal enmity Of certain people

FIND BODY OF
NEW BORN BABE

Fairfield, May 14.-There is great
deal of mystery surrounding the find
ing of the body of a newborn male
child Sunday morning in Cedar Creek,
about three miles south Of this city.
The discovery was made by lad by
the name of Berry, who resides near
the creek.
Sheriff Shan Campbell and Coroner
w. H. Conner, who were notified, went
to the spot and secured the remains
and brought them to the Frazey chapel
in this city, where an inquest was be-
gun Monday evening at s o'clock.
From the condition of the body it was
very evident that murder had been
committed. The little head was
crushed in and the navel cord had not
been tied, the hands and feet being
drawn as if in agony. The babe
weighed about five pounds and no at
tempt had been made to cover the
body or secrete it.
It is said ltb~ cks were traced

BUT IS CITIZEN
JAILED AT DAVENPORT BUT RE.
LEASED WHEN TRUTH OF CASE
is DISCOVERED

Davenport, May 14.-Although he
was citizen of the United States, A.
H. Funk Of Sioux City, imagined he
was German alien enemy. Hence he
registered with Sioux City police as
such. M
This week he arrived in Daven-
port in response to a telegram from
his wife that her father, ]. H. Wohl-
er, Fifth and Ripley streets, way dy-
ing.
Shortly after his arrival, Funk Wis
tied the police station to register. He
was ignorant of the fact. that he
should have secured permission from
the Sioux City authorities to come to
Davenport. He was placed under az
rest and lodged in the county jail.
Late Friday Mrs, Funk with the
double grief OF her fathers illness
and her husbands incarceration
walked into the office of Deputy U. S.
Marshal c. B. Sheppard.
Cant my husband be released,
sir" she sobbed. Gle has done no
wrong. He was ignorant of the fact
that travelling card was necessary
before he came here from Sioux City"
In the meantime Deputy Sheppard
had looked up the regulation govern
ing the registration of German aliens.
In section seven Of article two he
found:
"The marriage of an alien widow to
an American citizen during the mi
nority of her children naturalizes as
American citizens such minor child
rem as are dwelling in the United
States at the time of said marriage"
The deputy discovered upon inves-
tigation that Funk came to America
at the age of seven with his mother,
a Widow. The latter married citizen
of this country, thus naturalizins
