MAN IS
WOUNDED AT FRONT

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. 28.-In a let
ter received in Savannah Monday from
Mr.. Thomas F. McDermott, Savan-
nah soldier of fortune, who sailed for
France with the first famous Canadian
cintingent, is contained the information
that Mr.. McDermott has been wounded
to the extent that he is permanently
cut of the trenches.
The letter is dated from London
on Christmas Eve and is considerably
deleted by the censor. Enough re-
mains to be of absorbing interest to
Savannahians who know Mr.. McDer-
mott as probably the first man from
this city to get on the firing line in
France.
Mr. McDermott in stating that he
can never again do any active service,
dismissed the matter with statement
that he is B III. Appeals to Col. A.
M. Brookfield for a meaning of the
expression develops that it probably
means the loss of leg or an arm.
A very sad feature Of the letter re-
ceived is that it is directed to his moth
er who has been dead several years
without the knowledge Of her sen.
Mr.. McDermott has been away from
Savannah about ten years. He was
first with the United States regulars
in the Philippines From there he
drifted back to Canada, and hearing
of the revolution in Mexico cut across
the United States to take part in
aligning himself with the Villa for
ces at the time when Uncle Sam was
friendly with the leader, became a
member of the famous Mexican's staff
When the Germans marched across
Belgium Mr.. McDermott went to Can
ada and joined the first Canadian con-
tingent to go across. He was wound
ed about year ago when his people
here heard from in hospital in Eng
land and he again joined the Canadians
in the trenches.

AMERICANIARMY IN
FRANCE INSPECTED

| CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-Joseph B. Pier
son, who has been in France for sew
eral months in charge of the Tribune's
Paris paper, has written an article
on conditions in the American over
seas forces in part as follows
Robinson Crusoe landed on his isl
and with more equipment in hand than
is possessed by the ordinary American
soldier disembarking in France.
Large quantities of some kinds OF
supplies have been moved into France
by the United States, but the trans
portation facilities have been insult
ficient here to handle them with eX-
petition, nor had the units which the
Washingto nautrities sent here been
able to attain a functioning stage, un-
til General Pershing undertook d
series of inspection tours, which still
are in progress.
These inspection tours have been a
series of surprise parties for certain
branches of the force, and many
heads have fallen-just how many it
is impossible to say.
The result within the last month or
two has been to quicken the use of
the forces, to relieve the congestion
of the headquarters officers in Paris,
and to put the men who have come
here in in places where they may find
the widest field for their labor and
skill.
In September the number of the
American expeditionary forces in
France began to attain a respectable
figure. AS the forces grew consider
able, and as Gen. Pershing began to
tighten UP the supply lines with a
determination to make the forces in
dependent of French assistance, the
need appeared for considerable over
hauling in all departments of supply
and administration between the sea
bast and the training camps.
Quickly observing these weaknesses,
the Commonder-in-Ch Chief in the begin
ming of October started out on a series
of swift and quiet inspection tours,
which brought the METRE army or
ganization to it's feet, to attention,
from dock laborers to intelligence Of
ncers.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails

clear and healthy. --~ST p~sz'. asaSSa-
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-

give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blenishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
ant:septic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively

PRESENTS LABoR's REQUEST
eompers Outlines Term. Desired In
Peace Treaty.

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 16. - Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, made known the
program which organized labor in
America wishes to be embraced in the
international peace treaty.
A resolution embracing five funda-
mental principles and seven secondary
planks was introduced. by Mr.. Com
pers before the Pan-American labor
conference.
The labor peace plan declares
against reprisals for the purpose of
punishment, but makes no mention of
indemnities. Order would be secured
by league Of free peoples of the
world bonded together to secure JUS.
tice and peace relations between ma.
lions.
An international eight-hour work
day and international child labor laws
are two of the results organized labor
wishes to see come out of the war,
the latter to be effected by denial of
shipping facilities to goods manufac.
tured by children under 16 years.

May Hamper Armistice-Pre.
dictions as to the Peace
Conference.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARp.


Falling thrones and fleeing kings and
princes; a maelstrom of social revolu-
ton and military mutiny; soviets of the
workers and soldiers in control, and
former autocrats in hiding.
That in brief is the condition in CEN
trail Europe, following the cessation of
hostilities. How it will all end not
the wisest statesmen can conjecture.
Quick work by level-headed leaders
may direct Alright the great movement
and bring out of the chaos orderly and
firmly grounded governments Of and
for the people. At present it seems
that favorite jest has become sober
fact and that the big task now is to
make democracy safe for the world.
In Germany the Socialists are estab-
fishing themselves under the leadership
of their chancellor, Friedrich Ebert, a
brainy and highly esteemed man. The
several factions Of the party appear
to be working in some harmony, and
the bolsheviki, though yet in the de-
cided minority, have been given recOg-
milton which Is encouraging them to
demand more. In Berlin, where the
German republic was proclaimed, there
has been intermittent fighting between
the revOlutionists and some officers and
troops that remained loyal to the old
order, and in some other cities there
were conflicts; but on the whole the
change has been accomplished with re.
markably little violence. The leaders
occupy the reichstag building in Berlin
and are striving to put the affairs of
life on n normal basis.
In the allied countries there was q
shrewd suspicion that the revolution
was being fostered and directed under
cover by the leaders of the old govern.
ment in the hope that through it they
might be spared some of the rigors OF
the peace settlement. Such, too, was
the explanation of the establishment
of Il republic in Bavaria, and in Schles.
wig-HOlstein, which states now say
they will become parts Of the new Ger
man republic.
The man in the street, and most OF
the newspapers, in America, England
and France, did not ut first look kindly
on Doctor Soils appeal to President
Wilson that the allies take steps tc
save the people of Germany from star
walton. 1t savored of impudehce, com
ing from representative of the PEG
pie who starved Belgium, Serbia, Pc
land and Roumania without n qualm OF
conscience. But the allied govern
ments have looked Mt the matter in 6
different light, and, probably wisely
have determined to supply to the Ger
mans such food as can be spared, no
only for humanity's sake but on thu
theory that order can be more quickl,
and easily restored among a well-fet
people. If the excuses of the stnrvin,
Russians were repeated in Germany i
might be difficult to carry out tn,
terms of the armistice. The feeding O.
hungry Germany, becomes a common
sense business proposition. Herbert G
Hoover already has sailed for Europ,
to direct the distribution of food.

that time.
Washington is beginning to take &c.
riously the idea of President Wilson
going to Europe for the opening of the

Wilson Wishes to Go.
According to those closest to the
b president, he has practically made up
his mind to go. 1t has been pointed
out to him that there is an element Ct
danger-other than Politician the
enterprise; that grave questions may
arise at home during his absence and
that 1t is just as we'll that he should
not be too Immediately accessible
when certain indicated questions come
up before the peace conference.
| None of these considerations seem
to weigh against the presidents be-
lief that he can be of extreme service
In getting the peace delegates started

Probably at Versailles.
The general feeling of the associated
governments is that Versailles Is the
most convenient place to hold the
peace conference, and If this were
decided upon it also would serve as a
recognition of the paramount position
ef France in the war.
