fore the first chilly weather of autumn
comes the frame hut wards steam
heated, will be ready. 1t is possible
that some of the tents will be retained
for the use of convalescents or for
overflow purposes In the event of a
big offensive on the northern part of
the western front.
The hospital will have its own cleo
trio lighting plant and water supply.
There will be probably a double sys-
TEN of water supply, water from the
river being used for ordinary purposes
while special distilled or spring water
will be used for drinking purposes and
in the kitchens and operating rooms.
The Manor house, which will be the
central building of the Salisbury hos
pital, is large and handsome build
ing of what Englishmen call modern
construction, inasmuch as II dates
back only 30 years.
The house contains about fiftv
rooms, and more than half of these
are large enough to be available for
use as wards containing from six to
10 beds each. The great entrance hall
is easily the feature of the interior.
1t is as large as many an American
church, open to the roof, and with a
balcony or gallery running all the way
around it.
The ambulance which will bring the
American wounded from the piers at
Southampton will approach the hos
pital by long carriage drive through
picturesque woodland and well-kept
lawns.
The convalescent soldier. will find
several miles of sunny or shaded
walks without going outside the hos
pital grounds. Strolling northward he
will cross a broad meadow and a lit
tie patch of woods to the hospital pig
gerry and chicken farm, and just be-
low this he will come to the boat
house and the jetty, where he may
bangle his legs just above the water
and sit fishpole in hand, with good
prospects of a profitable catch. II
he chooses to stroll northward from
the main hospital buildings he will
find the forest denser and wider, and
at the other side of the forest he will
come to the hospital vegetable gar
dens and greenhouses.

The streets of Jerusalem within the

it is impossible to drive a wagon

the fire, carry water from an old well,

used to cook the bacon in. After

breakfast was ready. He looked at me
in contempt, and then shouted, Break

ately got wise to the trench parlance,
and never again informed that Break

It didn't take long for the Tommies
to answer this call. Half dressed,
they lined up with their canteens and
dished out the tea. Each Tommy
carried in his hand thick slice of
bread which had been issued with the
rations the night before. Then ] had
the pleasure of seeing them dig into
the bacon with their dirty fingers. The
allowance was one slice per man. The
late ones received very small slices.
AS each Tommy got his share he inn
mediately disappeared into the billet.
Pretty soon about fifteen of them made
a rush to the cookhouse, each carrying
a huge slice of bread. These slices
they dipped into the bacon grease
which was stewing over the fire. The
last man invariably lost out. 1 was
the last man.
After breakfast our section carried
their equipment into field adjoining
the billet and got busy removing the
trench mud therefrom, because at 8 :45
a. m, they had to fall in for inspection
and parade, and woe betide the man
who was unshaven, or had mud on his
uniform. Cleanliness is next to godli-
ness in the British army, and Old Pep
per must have been personally ac-
quainted with st. Peter.
Our drill consisted of close-order
formation, which lasted until noon.
During this time we had two ten-min-
ute breaks for rest, and no sooner the
word, Fall out for ten minutes" was
given than each Tommy got out a flag
and lighted it.

Salisbury Court, Favorite Hunt

a Hospital.
RED CROSS DOES THE WORK
American Women in England Carry on
Vast Aid for Wounded - Con-
valescents to Recuperate Amid
Pleasant Surroundings.

MISUNDERSTANDING Court, an old
Jacobean mansion that stands back
almost hidden by the tall elms off the
Southampton road and is said to have
been one of the favorite hunting boxes
of the first King Charles, has been
converted into hospital for 5000
Americans by the American Red
Cross.
The work of the latter organization
now comprises more than twenty de-
partments, and is carried out by Amer
lean women who were residents of
Great Britain before the war, many
of them the wives of Englishmen and
the others wives of relatives of Amer
leans in business In this country.
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, widow of the
former American ambassador to Great
Britain, was pioneer in the work of
the American Red Cross in this coun-
try.
The American Red Cross has pro-
vided a number of hospitals in Great
Britain, some Of them established be-
fore America entered the war, for the
use of the British wounded; others es-
tablished since that time for the ac-
commodation of both British and
Americans.
One of the Best.
One of the finest is the Mossley Hill
hospital at Liverpool, which is stated
by American army doctors and nurses
under Maj. lido ]. WHO, formerly pro
fessor of surgery in the University of
Michigan. Another American hospital
de luxe in London is the new naval
hospital on Park lane, which occupies
Aldford house, the home of Capt.
Frederick Guest, M. p, who placed it
at the disposal of the Red Cross.
There are several other American
hospitals in London, notably the Ian
caster Gate hospital for officers and
American Hospital No. "a, given by
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Chester Beatty of
New York. But the largest of all the
American hospitals in Great Britain
is that at Salisbury court.

Approach of Rainy Season
May Affect Plans.

Washington, Sept. 14.-That Gen
eral Pershing will attempt further de-
velopment of the wonderful success of
opinion here today. This was, how
ever opinion, and for military reasons,
anything tangible thereon was with
held.
The general military view was that
the opportunity now offered is too
elimination of the ST. Mihiel salient.
General Pershing's > night com
munique noted a count of 1890
prisoners to the time of filing with still
others to be recorded. 1t showed that
the line then included Herbeuvilie,
Thillet Nationwide, st. Benoit, Xam-
mes, Jaulny. Thiaucourt and Melville,
thus showing that the angle with St,
Mihiel as its apex had been squeezed
off.
Military Men Surprised.
Dispatches early yesterday predicted
the sudden elimination of this salient,
but military men were frankly sur
prised when the prediction came true
before the end of the day.
They now foresee a further thrust
toward the heart of the iron region
Metz or Briey is the probable OBJ
5ective. Either town would be a rich
prize.
a slowing of progress due evidently to
process of consolidating gains.
This need not take long, and If the
Pershing army is to progress we'll on
toward Metz or Briey, this fact should
become apparent at once.
1t is to be anticipated that the Ger
mans will strengthen their resistance
because of the vital nature of the ter
ritory ahead.
Should Press On.
Army men here believe it would be
the part of wisdom to press on until
both of the great iron cities came
within range of American guns. There
is very manifest plan to carry the
war home to Germany and to make
her industrial cities suffer.
Hence, if there is a slowing of the
present smash, it will be only in the
nature of a postponement, army men
say.
Some unofficial advices indicate
that the original plan of operations
contemplated only wiping out the sa-
lient. Many here believe tho that this
task was ac.--eN i with such com :
parative ease that it will be possible to
follow up the advantage at once.
Approach of the rainy season may
have an effect on plans but it is con-
sidered likely that the Americans will
do as much as possible before that
time arrives.

U. S. HOSPITALS WERE READY
Full Preparations Were Made To Care
for Wounded IN the Offensive.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE American hos
pital organization in preparation for
the American offensive in the st. Mi
hiel salient was practically perfect
Anticipating the operation, the Red
Cross opened three new hospitals and
hundreds of surgeons and nurses were
rushed into the fighting zone a few
hours before the attack One of thes
hospitals contained 1000 beds, another,
1900 and the third had a complement
of 5000 beds.
Hot Food for the Injured.
A special corps of canteen workers
from the Red Cross spent the time
during the fighting carrying hot
drinks and cigarettes to the advanced
areas for the wounded douehboys who
were going to the rear Women
workers carried hot food to the long
line of slightly wounded men standir-
at the hospitals, awaiting treatment
The organization had shipped ten
million cigarettes, thirty-five carload :

other surgical material into the zone

Americans went over the top every hos
