association is again before the public
with it's annual letters asking for
renewal of the subscriptions of the
friends of the association.
The members of the board. while
feeling that it is unfortunate TO have
to appeal at this time. wish. never
theless. to emphasize the special need
Of funds which the present epidemic
of Influenza makes urgent. The de-
mands are such as the association
never dreamed of and the calls upon
the nurses are almost staggering.
Since September IS. nurses care has
been given 10 ais influenza patients
In some cases the conditions round
were almost ncredible-families OF
ten. eight and seven all i'll and no
one able to do the slightest thing for
the others. Under the stress Of the
present situation all the nurses could
do was to make them temporarily
comfortable ara place bottles OF milk
within reach until they could return
next day
Most Of the people OF Richmond
are beginning to realize the scope OF
the wort, OF the visiting nurse and
what 1t means at all times. but the
association just now Is working day
and night, not only sending nurses.
but food, to the stricken. The board
OF managers. therefore. beg that tho
letters win meet with a-prompt and
generous response in View Of the

Washington. Oct. 0.-The allied
and American armies will head OF
and crush the German forces now
retreatfnx on the 100. mile front
from Douai to Rheims before the
winter makes major operations
Inn possible.
As 1t was put today by a high
star ofTicer "rear guard actions OF

liam. cannot prevent our steady
plunge forward along the whole
line. This general eruption on the
front appears to have broken out
soon n Ii became known in
France that whatever the presi-
dent might say to Prince Max, IL
would mem that the Germans had

them knocked out of their hands"
As 4 matter of fact. what In or-
curing today ON the front chimes
In rather significantly with the
opinions expressed here yesterday
by staff officers thst there would
he a revival of fighting on an enor-
nous scale after the talks between
the president aad General Narch.
II IL further intimnted today that
in order to complete the debacIe

AUSTRIA THE NEXT
SUITOR FOR PEACE

Washington Oct. iO.-Austria
will he the next sutton for
separate peace II there be any de-
lay in sending TO Washington by
Prince Macmillan. the German
chancellor, reply To President
Wilson's inquiries that will demon
strate the sincerity of Germany's
plea for an armisticc.
From the diplomatic viewpoint.
1t was made clear that the sudden
act of the German chancellor in
appealing for peace was forced on
him Immediately after the rs
~cmblage at Vienna Of tho diplo-
matte representatives of Hungary
with the Austrian chancellor and
Emperor Charles. There was more
than an intimation that Austria
would take matters In her own
hands If the German government
did not take the question up with
Washington Immediately.
1t was stated that this govern
ment knows well the fearful econo-
mic conditions that exist now In
every part OF Austria proper and
that the work Of Count Zcrnin
former Austrian minister. In
Roumanla. Bulgaria and the
Ukraine for feeding the Austrian
empire has been completely neutra-
lixcd by Bulgaria's surrender.
In addition to the lack Of sup
plies for the army and civilian
population Austria has already be-
gun TO feel the blast OF long
winter and the internal turmoil In
dicates nothing but revolution for
bread, evea among the most loyal
adherents of the dual monarchy.
Officials here think 1t Is not I'M
likely that the report that the pope
Is TO make an appeal to all nations
to urge peace on the basis OF Presi-
dent Wilson's propositions would
have an instantaneous effect on
Austria and probably Bavaria. TO
hurry forward the trend towards
the earliest possible ending of the
war.

DISABLED SOLDIERS
REFITTED FOR DUTY
Work of American Reconstruction
Hospital Division Proves
Highly Successful.

The success attained by the recon,
struction division In fitting disabled
soldiers for full or partial duty is indi-
Gated In detailed reports from five
general hospitals, made public by the
surgeon general of the army.
OF the 537 cases sent to these hos
pitfalls from overseas and base hospit-
ais In this country. 151 are now able
to return to full duty and PIP are able
to return for partial duty. Only 80 OF
these soldiers will be unable to fol-
low their old occupation. A total Of
122 will be able to return to their old
employment and do efficient work de-
spite their injuries.
"From the time these men landed I'm
the United States, an effort has been
made to keep their minds and hands
occupied" says the war department
statement. Curative education has
been practiced with satisfactory re-
suits. The men have shown interest
In the "ward occupations" which con-
slst of wood carving, knitting, weav-
Ing, block printing, bead work, knotted
work, embroidery, educational work
and typewriting. Where facilities have
been provided to give the men academ-
lie studies a genuine interest has been
shown to improve their mental condi-
ton so as better to prepare them to
make progress in civil occupations.
After the men reach the point where
they could leave the wards they were
instructed In shops and schools. Quar-
termaster repair shops are located
near some of the hospitals, and these
are used to give instruction to the men
In mechanical occupations. At the
present time 1872 soldiers are taking
courses In automobile mechanics and
repair work. Shorthand and typewrft.
ing have attracted the attention Of 151.
