She says that, whereas. at first the
French iistrusted women doctors and
would turn over to them only con-
valescent cases. now they pick out the
more seriously wounded to send to
Scottish women's hospitals. where they
know chances for recovery are best.
American women's hospitals are
similar in every respect, declares
Chairman Branson, to the Scottish
women's hospitals. which. during prev
ious wars, as we'll as in the present
war, nave rendered invaluable serv-
ice to suffering humanity.
Women physicians will be included
in the membership of the volunteer

Thirty three per cent of the prac-

Accuracy Of rsrch
Artillerymen Due to
Nelu Inuentio7

Correspondence Associated Press
French Front. April Accuracy
and efficiency have been made pos
sible for the French artillery by the
invention of an instrument that en-
ables French map-makers TO locate
almost exactly an object within the
enemy lines which has been photo
graphed from an airplane. In trans
ferring TO map the photographed
object, such say. as an enemy bat
terv or munition dump, the margin
OF error is limited 10 less than five
yards.
This permits the French artillery
to pour its shells with almost GER
tain aim onto German gun emplace-
ments, trench positions, crossroads,
environments. railroad lines. aviator
camps and other enemy organiza-
tions. 1t is unnecessary for the gun
ner to have even distant view OF
the object he IS firing al.
To take a photograph of the enc
my lines from French airplane is
an easy matter but 10 transfer the
objects photographed 10 their exact
location on q map was for time ex-
tremely difficult. This was due 10
the varying heights and angles from
which the airplane observers made
their photographs. BY the invention
OF one of tie officers attached TO
the geographical section this diff
Guilty has been almost eliminated.
Not only the aerial observation
service but other methods of spot
ting German positions-more espec-
iallv cannon and machine-gun en-
placempats-are utilized as aids .
tire work of the military map-maker.
The flashes of guns as they are fired
from the German side form one val
liable adjunct to his work but the
most important of all is the calcula-
ton OF the speed OF the sound OF the
firing charge of the German shells.
This has been brought TO basis of
such perfection that the guns can
now be located with almost absolute
accuracy In fact in recent operations
il has proved that the system of OBJ
servation by sound has given sue
cessful results in over so per cent of
instances.
In every army there is a branch Of
the geographical section and each is
furnished with complete litho-
graphic and zinographic printing
plant and skilled workers. photogra-
piers and mathematicians In very
few hours after the receipt of the
days observations from all the var
ious sources, dozens of copies of the
corrected maps are ready for issue to
all the STATS Of corps. divisional
brigades comprised within the army
concerned.
Nothing is omitted from the maps

stream, ditch, bridge, ford, every
path used by supply parties. every

and it is also greatly relished by the
chicks. During the first month OF
chicks life only a small amount OF
feed should be fed at time, but it is
important that the chicks be fed often.
When a hen is allowed to roam at

naturally supplied with everything
necessary. but when confined in coop
substitutes must be supplied. 1t is very
important that they be started out

JApAN's MOVE WORRIES L. S.
Await Russia's Protest: Complicated
by Acts of England.

Washington, April 9.-The land
ing of Japanese and British forces
at Vladivostok and the Bolshevlkl
objection to the move promise to
cause the department some concern.
When Japanese occupation of Siber-
ia was proposed recently. this gov
eminent assumed hands off pol
icy, and the Russian national council
of soviets has announced its pur-
pose to protest to the United States
against the present step.
Americas attitude drew express
sions OF satisfaction from the Rus
sian official press. but developments
in Vladivostok have changed the sit
uation. In the past the United States
often has asserted its right to land
naval forces to overcome conditions
of anarchy existing in any foreign
port where American lives and prop
erty were involved. In Vera Cruz
large military forces were used for
this purpose without violating the
general principal OF international
law.
Assuming that the American con-
sul's report that Japanese citizens
were killed and wounded at Vladi-
vostok by unrestrained Russians is
supplemented by evidence that the
local bolshevik officials either are
powerless or unwilling to punish the
guilty parties and afford adequate
protection to foreign life and prop.
erty, officials here feel that they can.
not withhold full approval of the
action OF the Japanese and British.
The fact that the British followed
the action of the japanese gives ar
international aspect to the inciden,
which also tends to deprive it of any
appearance OF simple act of Jap
anese aggression.
Difficulties are anticipated by Of
ficials in communicating sound anc
sane explanation OF the attitude o.
this government to the boishevii
authorities in Moscow.
1t is expected that there will b.
some communication from the Jap
anese and British governments tt
the state department here of the
purposes Of the naval commander.
and officials hope they will allay thu
bolshevik apprehensions that mill
tary invasion of Siberia by Japan ane
Great Britain has been started.

Many chicks are lost each year pc

among q large number of people t"
feed the chicks too soon after they are
Matched. AS soon as the chicks are
Matched they should be removed from

the hen they may be kept in basket

when Matched in an incubator they
should be removed either to the nur-
sery in the bottom of the machine or
placed in brooder. No feed of any kind
should be given the chicks until they
