after the eminent pathologist OF that
name, was delivered to It's base in
Nashville, Tennessee. on December 5,
and dispatched at once to Fort Worth,
Texas, at the request Of the Surgeon
General, to assist the cantonment staff
in the fight against the pneumonia
epidemic there.
For twenty days the pathological ex-
perts on this car, headed by Director
J. w. Jobling. Of Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, fought shoulder to shoulder with
the camp doctors, analyzing cultures
and doing all the other work neces-
sary to locate and segregate the par
ticular kind Of pneumonia germ that
was responsible for the epidemic.
Then, after the germ had been run
down and the work of routing it from
camp had been started, the Red Cross
car returned to it's base. Within few
days 1t was humming over the rails
again-this time to Camp Beauregard,
at Alexandria, Louisiana, where the
meningitis germs were threatening.
Similar campaigns have been car
ried on by the germ-routing crews Of
the three other cars, the Rood"
"Metchkinoff" and Lister" All have
seen service-some at the canton
ments and others at other camps. 1t
was only recently that the "Metchkin-
off," under the direction of DR.. F. P.
Gay, professor of pathology at the Uni
versity of California, was rushed to
one of the. aviation camps outside of
San Antonio, Texas, to break up
threatened epidemics Of measles and
meningitis there.

Four carloads Of Shock troops"
specially trained and equipped to tight
the various divisions Of the germ army
threatening our soldiers at the can
tonments and training camps. have
been putting up quiet, grim and sue
cessful fights against the pneumonia
and spinal meningitis forces during
the past three months according to
reports just submitted to the Bureau
of Sanitary Service Of the American
Red Cross.
Operating from the four new labora-
tory cars designed and maintained by
the Red Cross, the germ fighters have
done yeomarlike work In breaking up
the epidemics Of communicable dis
eases at half dozen Of the canton
ments. The work. which started as
soon as the first laboratory car was
placed in commission last December,
will be kept up until the last germ
has been routed.
The necessity for a mobile bacteri-
illogical force to assist the surgeons
and medical stats in their battles
against epidemics at the training
camps was recognized by the Red
Cross last summer On the authori-
zation Of the War Council $4,000 was
appropriated for the purchase and
equipment Of set of four laboratory
cars. The plans for these cars were
furnished by the Medical Advisory
Committee and the cars themselves
were built by the Pullman Company.

New World Has Come to Save Old;
Says Latin Statesman, Landing U.S..

sions abroad, Henry Franklin Boullon,
spoke of the detection of Russia from
the alliance as 1.-The greater treason
the world has ever known"
The situation at the present time,
M. Franklin Boullon believed, is the
gravest since the war began, and he
declared there was no doubt that the
Entente Is face to face with very
long war.
There are two classes of people
with which I have no sympathy in the
present crisis" he added. 1.-THE first
are the complainers and the whimper-
ers. and the second are the so-called
pacifists 1t should be enough to say
to the whimperers that our soldiers
are not whimperers-the silence of
the soldiers ought to command silence
from those in the rear.
''As for the pacifists, l would re-
mind them that there is nobody in
Germany today who thinks of an hon
est peace, and If we want to talk peace
there is nobody to talk to. Russia has
taught us that attempts to win the
war by talk are futile. All such talk
is not only nonsense, but it is danger.
Gus. We must win victory by fight
ing, not by talking, and it is impossi-
BILE that this war can be finished ex-
cept by fighting.
1--WE have no alternative-we must
win or die. Our fathers fought to in
sure individual liberty. We must fight
to insure the collective liberty of ma
tions. We cannot accept lift in a
world dominated by Germany.
ut is victory or slavery. We have
chosen. 1t never will be slavery"

In appearance, the laboratory cars
are about the same as the average

being that they carry the Red Cross
insignia at either end and the name of
the American Red Cross across the
top. A kitchen and sleeping quarters

1.-THE alliance with the United
States is a great factor in the morale
OF Italy today. The majority OF the
Italians. particularly the lower class
es, know America better than even
they know England or France, for
nearly all our emigration has been to
America, and there are few Italians
but have relative or friend there
from whom theey receive frequent
letters and papers
in the old days we used to say
that we admired Germany but we
loved France, and we sometimes ad-
ded that we both admired and loved
England. The feeling toward Am
erica was like the latter, only more
so.
To-day every Italian knows what
the Uniteed States is, knows OF her
wealth, knows Of her power, her gen.
ius. Eyery Italian knows too what
she is doing in the war. and eevry
letter which comes across the ocean
TO Italy is a factor in winning the
war. When you ask an Italian what
he thinks Of the situation since Rus
sin dropped out, he invariably an

"eut Y. S. Has Come In"
"But the United States has come

D. W. Griffith's master production,
"The Birth of Nation" will be the
attraction at the Murrette theatre to-
day, Thursday and Friday.
The merest statement regarding the
birth of Nation leaps to super

facts in relationship to its develop
