THE NEW LIFE
BY ZOE ADKINS
Of the ViQilantes.

This is an Intermission: Time stands
sun,
And we-as lost as children in a haze
To take from some heritage of other
days
Forgotten faith and unsupported win:
We have gone bdck. like children. to our
knees,
And we have learned the sad and splen-
did pride
OF those whose dearest gioriously died.
Knowing our own face Death across the
seas.
oh. after this-when joy-bells ring out
peace,
And home our war-tired heroes come
again,
Shall We not vow. ourselves. when war
shall cease.
To new life. and prove that not in
vain
We saw the Prussian sword drawn from
its sheath
And neutral lands-and children-fall be-
meath?

IRON ORE SUPPLY
 IN GERMANY WILL
 LAST FOR 66 YRS.

Amsterdam, March 5-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press)-The fact that Germany's home supplies of iron ore are limited, coupled with misgivings as to difficulties of post war imports, is believed to be at the bottom of the clamor raised in Ger man industrial circles for the pos session of the ore fields in "Naboth' S vineyard across the French border the basins of Briey and Longwy.
 Professor K. Hager, the new rector of the Munich Technical High school, in paper read the other day before King Ludwig of Bavaria and a dis tinguished audience, told his hearers that the ore supplies of Germany would only hold out 66 years longer at the rate of the present annual out put 19,290o,000 tons. This is with out taking into account the imports, | which before the war averaged 1S,- 900,000 tons annually.
 As for coal, of which Germany uses 157 .900,00O tons annually, there are supplies for the next 2,500 years, the | professor said. He added that Ger many had three times as much iron ore as England, and double the amount of coal.
 To deal with the iron situation after the war, Professor Hager made the | following suggestions: CD to acquire foreign ore fields, CD to raise the | importation of foreign ore by means of tariff regulations, (3) to reduce exports of iron also old iron, (4) to make the trade in old iron a state monopoly, and (5) to reduce the iron consumption in Germany itself to a minimum. To attain the latter end, he urges the use of ferro-concrete wood. china and cement articles wherever possible instead of cast iron, while it would also be advisable to perfect the present methods fo1 1 preventing rust.

AMERICAN SICK AND WOUNDED TO
 GET GOOD CARE
Nothing Too Good For Men Sent to Army Hospitals Ill
 or Hurt In Action.
HOSPITALS RECEIVE
 LATEST APPLIANCES
Major W. A. Shields Tells of Preparations Made for
 Hospital Work.

Chicago, March 5-Nothing is too good for United States soldiers sent to army hospitals for treatment, accord ting to Major W. A. Shields, in charge of the Army's Central Department medical supply depot here, who has just given to The Associated Press a detailed account of the methods em- ployed in safeguarding the health of the men in khaki.
 Major Shields said that medical of ficers at the various army hospitals have only to ask for what they want . for the treatment of the men and it goes to them.
 An officer at Fort Sheridan recently , asked for a special type of operating table," said Major Shields. Tt was not standard table and is used only rarely. Although it had to be made to order and cost considerably more than the ordinary table, it was rushed at once to the hospital"
 Many army surgeons, he stated. ask for certain uncommon instruments sometimes for use in one particular case only, yet the medical supply of
 
 Carrying out the department policy of thoroughness in the treatment ot the men, only the most sanitary, most modern and most efficient equipment is sent out. This rule applies to every. thing, from the furniture used in the institutions to the dishes from whicf the patients eat Major Shields sai6 that all hospitals are supplied with high grade silver-plated knives fork! and spoons, fine quality linens, the best food, sleeping quarters as pleas ant and convient as money can pro. vide. and that everything else is or the same high plane.
 Although the depot has to furnish no supplies for wounded men as ye the hospitals of the General Depart ment have received more than 5000, 900 feet of cloth bandages-enougf to extend from New York to the Texa! coast. When the American forces art actually engaged in trench warfare il any considerable numbers, and wound ed men begin to pour into American hospitals, Major Shields said, it il probable that the medical supply de pot will be overtaxed to supply need ed bandageS. Because of this fac officials are investigating paper band ages which are said to be equally a serviceable as the kind now in gen era1 use. Paper bandages have bee

In use in Germany for some time al- most exclusively owing to the ina bility of that country to get material for cloth bandages.
 Major Shields expressed confidence that the department will not be em- barrassed because of the scarcity of any needed drug or medicine used at army hospitals. German drugs have been duplicated by American medical investisators with the result that the department is adequately equipped to care for it's men, either wounded or III.
 Practically no whiskey is used in army hospitals, Major Shields said. Its use, he declared, is being discour- aged because the reaction it causes makes it's use as stimulant undesira- ble, according to the medical officer. He said however. that a small quan- | tity of whiskey is carried at the depot and will be supplied should any medi- cal officer call for it. In this connec- ton Major Shields spoke of the Vera 1 Cruz expedition in 1914 when he acted as medical supply officer for General | Funston.
 During the month that we were there" he said, "I issued just one quart of whiskey."
 On the other hand alcohol is one of the most widely used medical sup plies kept at the depot. It is shipped to cantonment camps in 50 gallon drums and is used in great quantities for baths and in rubbing.
 Electricity is being made to do its share in the care of the soldiers. Many modern hospital appliances are operated by electricity in addition to the part it is playing in the treatment of tuberculosis. X-ray photographs of lungs of soldiers suspected of being | tubercular are taken at the rate ot 50 a day ateach of the cantonment hospitals. By the use of these Hung pictures the treatment of tuberculosis | has been greatly simplified. Fifty | thousand X-ray plates have been used at the Central Department camps 1T the past two months, Major Shields said.
 To mend fractured limbs, splints 1T various sizes, made of steel, tin ol wood, are carried at the depot, fol shipments to hospitals as needed. Al each hospital there is a carpenter who adapts the splint to the individua need of the patient.
 The medical supply depot at Chi cago supplies hospitals at Camp! Grant, Custer, Sherman, Dodge ant Taylor, in addition to all aviation fields and smaller camps in the Cen tral Department of the army. In ad dition to these the depot supplies fur niture to all army hospitals in tn, , country.
 Among the hundreds of article! sent out from here Major Shields list ed scalpels, thermometers, hot wate and ice bags, invalid chairs, cots chairs, tables, silverware. operating apparatus, plumbing supplies, band ages. operating gowns. attendants and nurses clothing, pajamas. towels
 linens, settees, plaster for casts, ever, l known drug used by physicians, an ; aesthetics, toxins and serum, with tn, } contrivances necessary for their ap l plication.
