"Don't Use Your Head--Use Nine" Say,

Sid says in the July American Maya
zine:
Ivan S. Rossiter, Canadian soldier,
has just been in TO see me. For a year
he was German prisoner When the
Germans caught him he was badly
wounded in the right hand. They took
him to hospital, where, without the
use of an anesthetic, they cut off one of
his fingers and removed five pieces of
bone from his mangled wrist. They said
that they had no anesthetics to spare for
use on 'schweinhund,' and added that
they were saving their anesthetics for
their own wounded soldiers. Rossiter
showed me what is left of his hand. 1t
isn't much, and what is left is of no use
except as q reminder of that German
surgeon who operated without giving an
anesthetie.
While Rossiter was in Germany, he
was moved about from one prison camp
TO another until he and other prisoners
were exchanged for German prisoners
held by the allies. This moving about
process was the most interesting thing
he described. He was never allowed to
stay in one place more than few weeks.
In the year that he was there he was in
nine different prison camps, located in
various parts Of Germany. On each trip

then official figures have climbed with
gratifying rapidity, until June saw EN-

men as went over in the first year Of
the war.

PARADING AT FUNERALS
Is Popular Method Now Pursued By Sim
Feiners.

Dublin, July Correspondence of the
Associated Press Now that all process
sions and outdoor meetings have been
banned in Dublin, the Sim Feiners have
taken to parades at funerals, to which
it is obviously difficult and undesirable
to apply the prohibition.
Sunday is great day for funerals in
all parts of Ireland, and scores of long
and picturesque funeral professions may
be seen every Sabbath making their way
through the Dublin streets, some of them
consisting Of 80 or more vehicles of all
kinds, but principally jaunting cars each
containing five or six friends of the de.
ceased.
A great display was made by the Sim
Feiners at the funeral of James Francis
Cullen, young man who took part in
the 1916 rebellion.
Cullen was sentenced by courtmartial
to ten years penal servitude, subse-
quently committed to five years, for an
active if minor part in the rebellion and
he was released from Lewes Jail under
the general amnesty in May last year.
He died from natural causes. His flu
neral procession included nearly 5000
members of the Sim Fein volunteers,
who followed him to his grave in the
Fenion circle in Glasnevin.
The procession through the streets
drew large crowds of sympathizers. 1t
was wisely ignored by the military and
the police, The Sim Fem paraders, with
equal wisdom, refrained from pressing
any direct challenge such as marked the
funeral of Thomas Ashe last year when a
firing party, following military usage,
carried reversed rifles.
In Cullen's funeral procession no arms
were seen, and it was not until the rites
had been completed at the graveside that
a small party produced revolyers and
fred military salute. The crowd dis
persed quietly, and an event which had
given rise to some apprehensions passed
off with orderliness.

UNLOADING FOUNDED
TAKES MUCH SKILL
Members of London Transport Column"
Must Have Considerable First Aid
Knowledge, Together
with Training.

London, July Correspondence of the
Associated Press Shortly before the
arrival of train Of wounded at any Of
the London railway stations, morning,
afternoon or night--a small group of
men in navy blue uniform may be seen
passing through the gates onto the plat
form. They are members of the Lon
don Transport Column" of the Red Cross,
and they have unloaded every train of
wounded that has reached London since
the war began.
Their duties consist of the transfer of
the wounded men from the trains to the
stretchers and thence to the ambulances
which take them to the various London
and suburban hospitals. Speed and skill
are the essentials of the work of these
men, and they have become experts
through long training, assiduous practice
and thorough knowledge of frst-aid
principles. Many of the cases brought
to London are what is known as "spe-
cial' and have to be handled with skill
and care owing to the nature of their in
juries, In spite of this, trains containing
several hundred cot cases are unloaded in
half hour or less.
The London transport column was or.
ganized in August, 1917, by volunteers
from the stats of the big London insur-
ance companies. The column numbers
about 1000 men, all of them business
men in good positions who volunteered
to give two days week to the work and
to hold themselves in reserve for a third
day each week Their work takes them
from one railway station to another, and
they are often on continuous duty for IL
to IA hours
Air raids make no difference. Many a
train has been unloaded during a heavy
barrage During a recent air raid on
London several trains of wounded were
stopped at a siding in the suburbs and
unloaded in complete darkness, the
wounded being carried to safety in a
tunnel near by, where they remained
until it was safe to send the ambulances
out for them.
The transport men have been on spe-
cial duty in every Zeppelin and airplane
raid on London. Every member of the
corps is subject to call in an emergency
of this kind.

PIGEONS LESS FAT.
War is Having Its Effect on Birds in
London, Too.

London, July S.--The pigeons Of ST.
Paul's are not as fat as they used to be.
War rations and air raids have affected
them materially.
Visitors to London's famous cathedral
are not as numerous as they were in
pre-war days and even those persons who
do feed the pigeons now days don't care
to pay twenty -five cents a pint for pea
nuts just TO see the big birds peck. It's

act to feed bread to birds, 80 the pigeons
have TO content themselves principally
with scanty leayings from the cab horses

The pigeons of st. Paul's, and Of all
London, too, dread the buzz of an air
plane propeller overhead and even during
the daytime when an observing allied
aviator appears in the sky-and this is
almost daily-the pigeons hutter about
and fret considerably until he is out Of
sight.
And at night, when the Boobies have
come, dropping bombs and things, the
pigeons are out in jiffy from their roost

wandering prisoners stopped at every
station. German officers got out every
time the train stopped and told people
that the prisoners were all new ones
Just takenl Rossiter says that one ex-
cursion of this kind began at o'clock in
the morning and lasted until late at
night And always at every station a
crowd of people to ieer at these new
prisoners, many of whom were French
and Belgians who had been in captivity
for two years. It got to be like a the
atrical troupe playing one-night stands
only far more boresome, for the prisoners
were never allowed to leave the trains or
to communicate with the crowds that
came to see them. Rossiter SAYS that
one company of British artillery takes
the palm for touring Germany in the
guise of new prisoners. They were cap
tured in the fall of 1914 and they are
still playing to packed houses.
In other words-foo the people and
make monkeys of them is Germany's
policy. Bismarck believed in that idea.
He once said that it is impossible to
overestimate the stupidity of the human
race No doubt the kaiser feels Just as
contemptuous about us. In his mind, men
are nothing but so many tons of flesh
and bone to be used TO push back bound
airy lines.
This war is for the purpose of pre-.
venting human beings from becoming as
boneheaded as the German emperor
would like them to be. 1t is a war
against the thick skull. On one side are
those great nations whose policy is to
teach the mamie IN think for themsaIves
On the other is the German autocracy
which says; Believe what tell you
Imagine trying in this country to palm
off a trainload of veteran prisoners as
new ones Imagine trying to get by

Tribune or the Cleveland Press with that
kind of bunk.

Franklin county late Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Lawyer was employed on A. X.

that section was severe and after several
sharp flashes of lightning he was found
in the barn lying face down on the floor.

they went into the barn there was a
noise like a giant firecracker and the
men saw ball of fire rolling around on
the cement floor back of the cows. Mr.
Wilcox thought the barn was struck, but
