HOW BOLsHENKI
CAPTURED MOSCOW
Seven Days of Fire and BIooo
Described by chicagoan
Who Witnessed II.

Seven days Of fire and blood, which
brought Moscow under the domination
OF the BOlsheviki, are described by Ed
win s. Waterbury, the first Chicago
man to come out Of Russia since the
fall Of Kerensky. Waterbury and
twenty other Americans were impris
oned In the National hotel, Moscow
during the entire seven days, and were
In the center Of the fighting area.
Between Ave thousand and si1
thousand men, women and children
were killed during the seven days.
Mr.. Waterbury said. "The fighting be
gan at midnight No, ember 8.
"The Bolshevik forces included both
soldiers and workmen. Someone had
given the workmen $4,000 guns.
Zone hundred and forty of the Boil
sheviki were stationed in the hotel
and they soon put the machine across
the street out of business. For two
days they stood In the windows and
sniped in all directions.
AT last we got tired of that and
sent word to both sides asking them tc
make the hotel neutral territory. TIC
do that we had to turn the Bolshevikl
out into the streets--and, strangely
enough, they went.
when the hotel became neutral we
ran up the American flag, along with
the French, Italian. British and Japa
nese flags, and there was no more
firing"

SURGICAL DRESSINGS
FOR 5000 HOSPITALS
Wonderful Work American Won.
en- Are Doing Through the
Red Cross.

The American woman whose hands
have grown skilled In the making Of
surgical dressings might be surprised
II she knew how many different ma
tionalities her work had reached.
A nurse In French hospital may.
within a short time. have within her
care not only French and American
patients, but black Senegalese, Ger
man prisoners. East Indians, Morocco
ans, Algerians, Annamites, and some
times, though the British troops are
hOspitaled In England. occasional Eng
lish, Scotch, Irish, Welsh and Colon
ials, with occasionally turbaned
giant from some Indian regiment.
Whatever their race they under
stand the meaning Of the surgical
dressing, and most Of them know that
II represents devoted work behind the
lines. The bandage or compress may
be the first ministration to the wound
ed In front-line dugout dressing sta
ton. Perfection In Its making Is q
vital matter, and surgeons and nurses
working abroad rely on the exacting
standards of the dressings sent from
the American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross Is supply
ing surgical dressings to over 5000
hospitals. Most Of these dressings are
made In Chapter workrooms through.
out the United States. where their cut.

Uncle Sam Is moving In his wash
tubs to wash the undershirts and
things that come back from the
trenches.
Washtubs are the main thing In the
big salvage base which Is just being
finished in a city far back from the
lines In France. There are also shoe
repair machines and machines for
darning socks and patching breeches.
The quartermaster took broad loOl,
at the future In planning this base. He
visualized hundreds of thousands of
Sammies In the mud and filth of the
renches-battalions coming out every
day wearing the same clothes, down to
the last stitch, that they wore when
they marched In. He saw that these
outcoming battalions would need hot
baths and clean clothes as much as
rest and recreation.
They're going to get 'em-baths and
clothes.
Cities for Repair.
Back in the cities, Salvage" denotes
careening red fire-wagon piled high
with waterproof blankets, with hel.
meted salvage-corps firemen cllnging

Over here it's something else again.
Salvage means repair reclamation

There will be bath stations just back
of the front and each emerging battal
ion will have its bath parade" or
coming out As they enter the build
ing the Sammies will discard their
duds--jackets, breeches, shoes, socks
shirts and underwear. They will gC
through the baths and come out In an
other room, to find clean, dry clothe:
and sound shoes waiting for them.
Meantime the salvage folk will have
gathered up the discarded clothing

Next the garments are piled int
freight cars which come up to the lin,

Sam laundry thoroughly launders ev

other departments In the same plan
for inspection and repair.
If garment has been repaired sew
eral times before, most likely 1t will
go into the discard. Otherwise it will
be patched and sent forward for tn
next man who comes out, wet, mudd.
and craving to be clean again.

1t is becoming increasingly clear ev-
Morning Post, that the war Is not be-
ing waged only at the front. The war
has become i'm truth war between ma
tiOns-there are no longer noncomba-
tants on either side. 1t is a question
really of endurance in the last stages
of the struggle, and in the testing time
that lies before the morale of the
people at home will probably be the
final and determining factor as to the
issue.
1t is not what the inflated rhetoric
of the day calls q question of the last
farthing and the last man, but of the
general determination and endurance
of the mass of the population. On this
aspect of affairs 1t is most important to
know, In so far as that is possible, how
| far the strain is telling ON the other
side-to gather together any reliable
indices as to what conditions are ac-
tually prevailing.
Mere vague general statements are
of little or no value. What one wants,
| If they can be had, are statements that
are full and precise, that can be
weighed and measured so as to give
something like an indication of the diff
! ference from the normal and prewar
conditions. Unfortunately, informa-
tion of this full and precise character
is not easily got at. Occasionally, how
ever, some set of facts comes to light
which gives something tangible on
which to base our estimate of relative
/ loss.
Deaths From tuberculosis.
One of such sets Is the record OF
deaths from tuberculosis, a disease In
which the general conditions as to
nourishment contribute materially to
the incidence of mortality. There are
available returns of deaths from this
disease In a very large number Of
places in Germany, representing some
thing like two-fifths of the population
of the empire. These show an enor-
nous increase in deaths on the num-
bers recorded In the same places be-
fore the war.
Here are the numbers of such deaths
for the first six months last year,
as contrasted with those for the same
period in 1913. for the different diyi-
sions of the German empire:
