CHILDREN sTARvE IN GERMANY

Correspondence of Associated Press)
 AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1.-The death of six children at the German reform school in Tiefenort, Saxe-Weimer, from what practically amounts to star vation, although it is politely called
 'under-nourishment" in the official re- ports has caused widespread comment in Germany.
 Assailed in the grand ducal parlia- ment for tolerating such conditions the government put forth the diverting ex- cuse that the children died from tuberculosis brought on by deficient mental conditions" This, says Vor- waerts, in a scathing editorial, is "a that is likely to prove more serious and more mysterious than the influenza epidemic in Spain.'

HGrdships Suffered by
 American Workers M the
 DeUGStdted Parts Of France

An idea of the real and practica good being done and the hardship. suffered by the workers of the Amer jean committee for devastated France may well be gained from this wonder ful letter written by Margaret Moore one of the workers, to Mrs. NJ F. NJ Frantzen of Bisbee, state chairman Miss Moore was in the thick of the terrible retreat following the German offensive last spring and she has writ ten a graphic description of her trials and triumphs. Good sense and prac tical aid and a high order of courage are all apparent in this young wom ans letter, which is reproduced here as follows:
 Somewhere in France. My Dear Madame:
 It has been a long interesting move If things had not been so hard for the soldiers we could have called our re- treat a camping trip.
 We started out from Vic-sur-Aisne. The guns began in the same fashion that was so disastrous in March at Blerancourt We waited this time three days before the observation balloon came so close that it was actually in the field across from us. When the balloon comes back to us we Kno9 that it is only a matter of hours be- fore We must leave the place. l dump ed all my things hastily into a duffle bag.

 Judge Frank J. Dugy. of Nogales, has received an interesting letter from his son, Sergt Francis Duffy, of the American expeditionary forces some the University of Arizona, in which he said:
 This is the first chance l have had to write a letter.
 We left the United States on June 13, and were on the water fifteen days. We certainly had nice weather coming over-did not even have a bad wind storm, and very few men were sea sick We had a larger convoy, and couple of days before We got to Eng land several small battleships of some kind came out to meet us, so we got there with no danger of submarines. Everyone had to wear a life preserver all the time while on the ship, but no )n thought of having any trouble. We 'ad a mandolin, banjo and violin, so VIC had lots of music. We were in England a couple of days, at a rest amp, then came to France and stayed mother day at another rest camp, and hen travelled two days and two nights m the train, and here we are. We gre ,bout two miles from town, and cer- ainly have a fine place for camp. There is a big swimming hole about | mile from camp, and there are farm iouses all around, There are lots of ,ine trees, and the people have them apped for pitch. It makes me think ,f the maple trees in Washington.

GET SHOCK FROM TELEPHONE
Deafness, Temporary or Even Total.
Has Been Known to Result From
Use Of the Instrument.

Telephone users-and they are
all of us-will be interested in the
subject of telephone deafness.
George Colt, in the Buffalo Medical
Journal, calls attention to several
cases in which persons when they
put the telephone receiver to the ear
suddenly heard loud, high-pitehed
sound and then could hear nothing
more, the deafness persisting for a
considerable length of time. His
explanation of the cause of this
deafness is that any interference TO
the line while one is listening may
jar the auditory nerve suddenly and
induce high-pitched sound, fol-
lowed by prolonged tinnitus with
immediate deafness, either partial
or total, the symptoms ameliorating
after some weeks. This accident
can be avoided, because it occurs
only when the listener holds the re-
ceiver in such contact with the ear
that no external sound can enter, a
common way to hold the receiver
when there is much noise around.
If the user of the telephone applies
the receiver in such way that a
space is left for free circulation of
air between it and the ear, a shock
cannot be transmitted to the nerve
no matter how much disturbance
there may be on the line.

CLAIMS NOT JUSTIFIED.

The last annual report Of the bu-
reau of standards refers to certain
materials on the market known as
gasoline intensifiers, for which the
claim is made that when added in
small quantities to gasoline an in
creased engine efficiency is secured.
The bureau has tested six of these
preparations and also a sample Of
gasoline alleged to be treated by a
secret electrochemical process. A six
cylinder motorcar engine, driving
an electric absorption dynamometer
was used in the tests, and although
this apparatus was highly sensitive
no increase in power could be de-
tected as result Of using the so
called intensifers or the treated
gasoline.-Scientiiic American.

PNEUMONIA THAN
ANY OTHER CAMP

In spite OF the fact that it stands
eighth from the top OF the list as
regards health conditions, Camp
Meade was the heaviest sufferer from
pneumonia last week. according to
the weekly report of Surgeon Gen

The Maryland camp at which many
Washington men are stationed has
thirty new cases OF pneumonia, the
next highest for that disease being
Camp Upton. New York, with TWEEN
ty-seyen cases. Despite the outbreak
of pneumonia, the sick rate of Camp
Meade is only 1876, while the rate in
other camps runs as high as 1915.

were five deaths from pneumonia at
Camp Meade last week.
Camp Meade is also in the fore
front of the report with twenty -four
cases of scarlet fever. There are
only three other camps that are har-
than Meade Camp Grant in ILL
nois is the highest with twenty-eight
cases.
With the exception OF pneumonia
and scarlet fever, Camp Meade's slate
IL remarkably clean. There are only
two cases of measles and two OF
meningitis.
The report of the surgeon gen.

the camps in general says they are
very good" although non-effective
rates are slightly higher than last
week. He says the fact that the
national army camps have high rates
for non-effectives is explained by the
recent large admissions of new men
who are not seasoned to the strain
