LAME BATTALION
IS REBUILDING
WOUNDED
SPECIAL DRILLS TO OVER
COME HABITS OF
INVALIDS

PARIS, Aug. 81. = 1.-THE awk-
ward squad" familiar at the begin
ming of all citizen armies, has now
been supplanted by the "lame" bat
talon, designed to re-establish the
men who have gone through the
fire and to fit them for future serv-
ice.
So successful has the idea of a
lame" battalion been that from 20
to so per cent of the soldiers re-
ceiving wounds in the legs or suf-
fering from the usual foot and leg
maladies of trench warfare have
been restored to full combat
strength.
The e course involves instruc-
ton Of the wounded and weakened
soldier in the proper posture of the
body and its use in walking. run
ming and riding.
Special drills have been devised
to overcome the habits into which
the individual soldier has fallen.
instruction is given in the care Of
the feet while special attention has
been given to the foot and leg cas-
es in the hospitals.
United States army medical Off
GERS report that experience has
shown that from one-third to one
half of the ordinary deformities re-
sulting from gunshot wounds are
preventable.
Surgeons must free themselves
from their tendency to treat the
wounds and forget the function; to
make a we'll man but not a working
one"

DIR. E. A. McAlpin. pastor Of the

He spoke Of the struggle of 1776.
saying that Washington has been taken
as the type Of American of that time,
a man who endured all privations, who
faced death because of his great ideals
of freedom and justice.
"Once more" the speaker declared,
I'VE are engaged in a great war for
liberty, not only of the individual
man, but for the freedom of nations
and justice to all men. During the
generations that passed between the
time of cur forefatherS under the
leadership of Washington nature smiled
on US. Peace and prosperity were our
portion. A good job, comfortable home
and fat bank account were fast
becoming the established ideal of our
nation.
Suddenly the call of the hour sound
ed forth and summoned the man
hood Of America to rise in it's might,
to protect the sanctity of it's homes
and to strike for the liberty and
freedom Of the whole world"

CRY OF "AMMO" IS SIGNAL
DEN0TING NEED or BOMBS
Liberty Division at Meade Drilled
II in Trench Calls in Use
in France.

ammo" "Ammow When this cry
rings out from the threats of the se-
lected soldiers Of the Liberty Division,
while they are in the trenches Of no
mans land-a perfectly organized
unit-the 304th Ammunition Train COM
posed of men from Philadelphia, the
main line and various points in Mont-
gomery and Chester counties will re-
spond by bringing up tons Of shells,
cartridges, bombs and other instru-
ments of destruction.
Unlike the ammunition carriers in
days gone by which Kipling refers to
in "Gunga Din," they will have but
little Of the labor that formerly earned
them the sobriQuet Of Ammunition
mules"
Instead of bending back under heavy
shells, they will drive their high-power
motor trucks to the front.
MotoriZing these units is a modern
war development, and that is what is
taking place in the efficient organiza-
ton here under the capable wing of
Maj. H. J. McKenny, commander Of the
SO4th Ammunition Train. Furthermore,
a modern ammunition train must be a
highly technical organization-with
trained men capable of doing many
kinds of work.
In addition to being the important
''munition feeding part of a division,
the ammunition train today is a mo-
torized repair shop for big and little
guns. rifles and other kinds of arms,
harness, boots and all kinds of leather
goods. Soldiers in blue jumpers work
on the truck with their machines
driven by motors from the trucks. They
fix everything from a buckle to a big
howitzer. After engagements with the
Huns all the salvage work of the Lib
erty Division must also be done by the
train.
Because of the great number of
trained men needed to fill the ranks
of the 3O4th Ammunition Train, It is
one Of the few units here that is open
to enlistments. Trained workers On
leather goods. machinists and the like
are being accepted to work with the
selected soldiers, chosen to do similar
work.

SHOULD LEARN TO HATE
HUN AS WELL AS KAISER"
Rev. Gill b. Wilson, Aviator, in
French Service, Writes His
Father at Meade.

That American soldiers should learn to
hate the Huns as well as the kaiser is
the ground taken by the Rev. Gill r. Will
son. an aviator in the French service, in
letter to his father. the Rev. Gill T..
Wilson. camp religious director Of the
Y. M. c. A. bungalow in the section.
Extracts from his letter follow:
II have been receiving some letters from
my friends back houe and they are kind
of s. p. c. A. in their flavor. They say
Don't hate Germany or Germans. but just
kill them quietly and without making
them suffer unduly.' Why, blame 1t, II
did not hate Germany and Germans, how
could / fight? We would never win this
war IL our Army were just sort Of pas
gionless national executor. I do not be-
lieve one can fight without an intense
personal hatred. and If any one thinks he
can-well I would not want to be the
company holding his life insurance. Why
do not people want US to hate the Ger
mans? Did the kaiser alone destroy Bel
GUM and parts OF France? Was 1t Hin
denburg? Not by blame sight The Ger
man armies did 1t. Every determined
spirit of murder in his heart I see by the
papers that the Huns have started to
lombard London and Paris again. could
almost wish that they would bomb New
York. too, for then the folks at home
would understand better. and it would be
the thing that would put pep such as we
need into the hearts of our people.
II have Just received q letter from my
kid brother. J. W., and he says they are
busy flying over the Hun lines every good
day. He urges me to apply for a bombing
plane. SO guess will. The work seems
to be mighty interesting, and perhaps we
can get to the front more quickly that
way than on other planes. I do not know
IL we shall be given any choice Of the
kind Of planes that we drive. but 1t will
do no hurt to ask for a bombing plane.
You are wondering. Of course, how I
am. / am as frislxy as a kitten and an
other week will see me out with the plane
again. The fine lieutenant about whom I
told you died last night. He lies in the
little chapel wrapped in the tricolor for
which he died. We take turns standing
guard for him." Poor chap. He was a
Legion of Honor man and had all the
waF medals. He, was just twenty-five
years old and leaves widow and two
children"

Owes Fame to Crude Compliment.

: The "V" STAFF quartet owes its early
fame to the crudely expressed appre-
citation Of one Of Uncle Sans nat
uralized soldiers. Hams of ministerial
fame. Dudley, the ''v" executive: Ches-
nut, the athletic. and Amoss. the new
social man, made their initial appear
ance as quartet Sunday night. With
tremendous feeling and finely felt
shading they rendered their hymns,
but to their ears there came no vo-
ciferous applause, but the feeble hand
clapping Of the courteous TROOPS. Could
1t be that their efforts had fallen short?
The answer came with an Italian
American soldier as he addressed one
Of the staff: "Hey, you sing-a da song.
Yes, / think SO; it DANA fine hymn
1 clap like hell-a for dat hymnw "V"
stan is proud of it's vocal ability now.

brates over the W., b. and A. tracks,

THAT'S ONE ITEM

Only the quickest action imaginable,
which included the shipment Of ire
mendous quantities Of hospital sup
plies from Red Cross stores in France,
as we'll as large purchases In Italy,
made the emergency work OF the
American Red Cross possible during
the recent distress in Italy brought
about by the rout Of the Italian army.
No such mission for human help has
ever seen the like Of this heroic work
by the American Red Cross in Italy.
For the winters needs it was found
that $50 tons of hospital supplies were
REQUIRED, and these were ordered In
America for immediate delivery to
Italy.
Some Of the things ordered were an
aesthetics, surgical instruments, rub
Der goods, enamel ware, gauze, alb
sorbent cotton and drugs. Just what
such a shipment means Is difficult fol
q layman to grasp.
If you'd like to see your druggfs,
lose all his senses at once just tel
him about some Of these quantities
that were ordered for use In Italy.
Tell him that $50 pounds Of quinint
were ordered. Since The war quinint
has been difficult to get at any price
