WOUNDED men
SHOW CONTEMPT
FOR HUN BOMBS
Doughboys Calm During Raid
on Hospital and Refuse to
Leave Building and
Enter Dugouts.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 23.-American
wounded soldiers who were in the
American hospital near which Ger
man bombing planes dropped ex-
plosives in the neighborhood of
Rarecourt Monday night, were so
little concerned by the raid that they
refused to leave the building and
enter dugouts until compelled to do
so by the nurses.
Discussing the nonchalant attitude
on the part Of the doughboys,
Margery Sawyer OF Buffalo, N. Y,
and Ma bel Butler of New Haven,
Conn, Red Cross nurses, said they
found these men, some of whom had
come in from the front lines only
few hours previously, as calm as
though no attack had taken place,
although the hospital had been dam
aged by bombs and the wards were
filled with smoke.
The first thoughts of these nurses
were regarding the wounded.
Neither one had had previous ex-
perience under enemy bombing op-
erations and expected when they
hurried to the wards to find the
doughboys panic-stricken.
Il had gone to bed early" Miss
Sawyer said. Il was aroused by the
alarm of an air raid, but some one
suggested that the Germans were
merely passing by. Then there was
a terrific explosion, followed by an
unheaval of my cot and | was tossed
across the room, glass falling all
around me and rocks and dirt too.
I have cared for many gas patients
and have heard their stories. The
room was filled with smoke and |
thought of gas and that scared me
more than anything else. Then Miss
Butler came and we went to assist
the patients"
Miss Butler said she was attend
ing one of the soldiers when the
first bomb struck within Is feet of
the building in which Miss Sawyer
lay in bed.
1--WE simply had to drive the
doughboys into the dugouts," Miss j..
Sawyer said. "One whom I aroused
said bombs meant nothing to him
and insisted in turning over and
going to sleep"

Washington, Oct. 2j.-Disap-
proval of President Wilson's course

ernments was voiced tonight by
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska.
chairman of the senate foreign re-
latlons committee, approved the
presidents reply, saying it would
create a political crisis in Germany.
Cites Former Utterances.
The president" said Senator
Lodge. says in his last sentence
that if we must deal with the mill
tary masters and autocrats of Ger
many we must demand not peace
negotiations, but surrender. With
this | am in full accord. as | was
with the presidents statement of
September u. In the first paragraph
the president says that as the pres
ent German government which, as
all the world knows is controlled
by the kaiser and the military
party, represents through its MIN
lsters the majority of the rechstag
and an overwhelming majority of
The German people, he feels that he
cannot decline to take up with the
allied governments the question of
an armistice. With this | am not
i'll accord, for the German govern
ment described in the first para
graph and that described in the last
sentence are one and the same.
Deplores Any Discussion.
My own view is a very simple
b one. There is no German govern
ment in existence with which |
would discuss anything. | deplore
at this stage. when we are adj
vancing steadily to a complete vic
tory, any discussion or exchange of
notes with the German government.
The only thing now is to demand
unconditional surrender. | would
leave that to Marshal Foch and the
generals of the armies. When they
report that the German army has
surrendered and ceased to sXist as
an army in being. then and not
, until then let the allies and the
United States meet and agree what
terms they will impose on Germany
to insure the safety of civilization
and mankind" ~ n
Senator Hitchcock's View.
Senator Hitchcock made this
statement:
I'm this note the president
reaches logical climax to his cor
respondence with Germany. He
places squarely up to the people of
Germany the issue of democratic
ing their government and being &C
corded a peace of justice or hold
ing on to their military autocracy
and submitting to an unconditional
surrender. In my opinion his note
will create political crisis i'll Ger
many. | believe the American
people will fully indorse the firm
stand he has taken, and it is very
evident that the allied nations are
giving him their support. An armi-
stice does not seem to be prob
able for some time to come under
