SUNG STAR SPANGLED BANNER.

London, Nov. f3.-( Correspondence of The Associated Press IA German band at prison hospital near Lon don played the Star Spangled Banner and several hundred wounded soldiers sang it as if they enjoyed it in cele- bration of the signing of the armis- tice. The music was in honor of a parade of American wounded quar- tered in a hospital near the prison hospital
 If the sentiment of these prisoners may be taken as a criterion the Ger man people will harbor no old scores against Americans for helping to de- liver the final blow of the war. They entered heartily into the armistice celebration and were glad the war had ended.
 Soon after the news of the signing of the armistice was received at the big American hospital at Dartford it was sent over to the Germans, whose prison hospital joins the American establishment.
 On the following day every Ameri- can able to walk was mustered into parade the route of which took them through the prison grounds. As the vanguard entered the German band-Germans always manage to 'scrape up a band wherever large number of them are quartered be gan playing the anthem of the U. S. A. and the. Germans sang it as the happy Americans passed. They were happy too and showed no animosity toward the Americans.

SAYS HOT WATER WASHES POISONS
 FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate in it,
 before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle. we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, 10 pre- vent it's sponge-like pores from clog. ging with indigestible material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says noted physician,
 If you get headaches, it's your liver If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach be- comes rancid, it's your liver. SalloW skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the must abused and neglected organ of the body Few know it's function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is a dangerous, salivating chemical which can. only be used occasionally because it accumulates in the tissues, also attacks the bones.
 Every man and woman, sick or we'll. should drink each morning be- fore breakfast a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous days indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet like calomel, because it can not salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for dem- onstration of how hot water and lime stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling it day in and day out.

were disqualified for active military service because of Nphyical defects, and added:
 Being unfit for military service, they were therefore unfit to render full service in any capacity. They were unable to get full returns from life in work and happiness"
 The physical education needed must assume physical activity as the basic thing, the speaker added. There must be wholesale physical environment, individual physical examination and record, and medical supervision of schools.
 "It should provide for all persons between six and eighteen years of age. It should extend it's benefits to youth above the compulsory school age. It should provide federal aid to permit states to carry on effective systems of physical education. This federal aid should be limited to pre- paration of teachers for skilled ser vice.
 "The program proposed will raise the positive co-efficient of the physi- cal life of the nation. It will build morality upon the solid foundation of physical soundness and vitality. It will be powerful influence in Amer icanization."

WORK OF NAVY.
(By The Associated Press.l


 Washington, Nov. 9.--.Some idea O. the great work confronting the navy when the United States entered the war is set forth in the annual re- port of Rear Admiral Earle, chief of ordnance, made public today. To this bureau alone fell the task of expend- ing during a single year more than half a billion dollars for guns and equipment.
 In discussing seemingly impossible problems, Admiral Earle disclosed that the navy was called upon not on- ly to arm all American war craft, auxiliaries and the merchant fleet,
Newport daily independent., 1918-12-09

but to provide armament for British, French, Italian, Belgian and Russian shipping. Guns of to inch caliber were at premium and the demand for them was ten times greater than the existing capacity for manufac- tur. A total of 937 craft of all kinds, not in the regular navy, were armed between July l, 1917 and July 1, 1918.
 Gun mounts formed a seperate knotty problem. The facilities creat- ed for their manufacture met all urgent needs. The Linderman Steel and Machine company of Muskegon, Mich, the report stated, delivered 360 mounts for 4-inch guns 2S days ahead of schedule and established a record for other manufacturers.
 Only brief reference was made to two of the most striking accomplish ments of the bureau, the designing, building and shipping of the 14--inch rifles on railway mounts which eff fectually hammered the German rear positions in the closing weeks of the war, and the development of a tract or mount for rifles up to 7-inch cal iber from which the guns could be fired. This latter achievement, never attained by the allied armies, the re- ,o.+ sa;J 1,,oe l,o;1od ;,, E,ayoa xx,;tl, even greater satisfaction than was the arrival of the first of the IA inch monsters comprising the naval batteries.
 AFailure to obtain a sufficient sup ply of depth bombs used by American destroyers, hampered efficient op- perations against enemy submarines. By strenuous efforts, however, the shortage was overcome and before war ended, American destroyers were using depth bombs freely, and this the report said, aided in curbing Ger man submarine operations in the closing months of the war.
 
 The fire control equipment used on American war craft is on q par with that in any navy, Admiral Earle said, and range finding and sighting de- wees of the fleet have been greatly improved.
 'The efficiency of our gunnery as- sisted by these new instruments" he added, should find our ships in the next sea battle at least equal in gum nery to any enemy"
 The first of the 16-inch, 50-calibcr main battery rifles for new dread naughts has been tried out, with a success that exceeded expectations, fixing this monster of naval warfare as @an exceptionally splendid piece of ordnance" Another new naval wea- pon, an 8-inch bomb-throwing how tiger, is being delivered to destroyers or larger craft.

RECEIVED BETTER TREATMENT.
(By The Associated Press.)

! S.J Paris, Nov 9.-The condition of American war prisoners in German prison camps was to some extent i ameliorated by the work of Conrad Hoffman an American Y. M. c. A. worker who was permitted to remain in Berlin after most other Americans either had left or had been interned. Hoffman convinced the German government that the more he was al- lowed to do for the American pris- oners in Germany the better would fare German prisoners in American neutrals as his assistants on his pro- mise that members of his organiza- tion would not act as spies or propa- gandists, but solely to improve the physical and mental welfare of the prisoners.
 Largely through Hoffman's efforts it is now stated, prisoners help com mittees were organized in all prison  camps in Germany containing Amer jeans and their needs were communi- cated to Mr. Hoffman who forward ed them to A. c. Harte, international Y. M. c. A. secretary in Berne, Switzerland.
 Both the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A. cooperated in supplying the prisoners with food, clothing, money and other necessaries, operating through that channel. Many letters have besn received at Y. M. c. A. headquarters in Paris from the American prisoners 6f war in Ger many testifying to the receipt of this aid.

$4,000 WOMEN ARE
WANTED
Government Calls for Young Women
for Nurse Reserves

| The Government is calling for 25,-
900 young women to join the United
States Student Nurse Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece-
denied demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for SER
vice with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course of
from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the
United States Student Nurse
Reserve in releasing nurse
for service at the front and swelling
the home army which we must rely on
to act as our second line of hospital
defense. Upon the health of the
American people will depend the
spirit of their fighting forces.
The call is for women between the
ages of nineteen and thirty-fve. In
telligent, responsible women of good
education and sound health are want
ed-the pick of the country. A col
lege education is a valuable asset,
and many hospitals will give credit
for it. Credit will also be given for
special scientific equipment or for
preliminary training in nursing such
as that given in special courses now
being conducted by various colleges
and schools. Some schools, on the
other hand, do not even require a full
high-school education.
There are 1879 nurses training
schools in this country. Their need
is as great and imperative as that of
the Army School of Nursing Those
who enroll for these schools will be
assigned as vacancies occur.
The enrolment card will indicate
two classes of Observation-Disclosures
and Deferred. The preferred class
will be those who are ready to ac-
cept assignment to whatever hospital
the government directs them, al
though they may state what train
ing school they prefer to be sent to.
Those who register in the preferred
class will be assigned first and all i
possible consideration will be given |
to their preference as stated. The
deferred class is composed of those
who limit their pledge of service
that is, who will not engage to go ex-
cept to certain hospitals. This class
is intended largely for those who, for
family reasons, can not accept train
ing at a distance from their home.
Those who register in the deferred
class vii lbe assigned only after the
preferred class is exhausted.
The term of training varies from
two to three years, according to the
of the particular school
to which the student nurse may be
sent. No course takes less than two
wears nor more than three.

had struck sharp rock when he fell
from the cliff into the river, ana was
either killed by the blow or so badly
stunned he was helpless in the tor
rent.

A kilometer is one thousand meters
In the French system of measure, each
meter representing practically 1887
inches. 1t is equal to three-ffths of
statute mile, less nineteen feet and
eleven inches. In the United States
and Canada the term was once con-
fined largely to scientific writings, but
is now used frequently in newspapers,
etc. When the war broke out in 1911
the word became important to readers
of newspapers because the rate of ad-
vance or retreat of armies was an
nounced in kilometers instead of miles.
An advance of ten kilometers meant
six miles.
