WILHEL.kf'S LAST WILL

oGicial-looking document bearing a

The wording of the will is as follows:

ognizing that / am fairly up against

All Officers Must Be Able To
Stand g Prolonged Hardship"

Capacity to perform a highly spe-
ciaiized and arduous type of service"
is the test by which the fitness of
general officers of the army for serV-
fees over There is to be judged.
Physical examinations have already
proved the unfitness of a number OF
high officers in the Regular Army and
National Guard to stand the rigorous
service In France. Announcement has
been made that these officers and 9TH
ers who cannot pass the examination
will be utilized in training troops in
camps and cantonments in the Unit
ed States.
Following is Secretary Bakers
statement regarding the physical ex-
animation before being detailed for
service overseas:
can general officers of the Regular
Army and the National Guard are
being examined by medical boards
and efficiency boards with a view of
determining the adyisability OF send
ing them for service abroad The
conditions of foreign service in this
war are unusually severe, requiring
that general officers shall be not only
adequately grounded in military sci
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1918-01-02

ence and adequately alert physically
to acquire rapidly the lessons which
the new form of warfare require, but
able to endure prolonged hardships,
THE determination of these boards
are impersonal and in the interest of
the success of our armies and the
welfare both of leaders and men, and
will be affirmed by the War Depart
ment. This policy will no doubt com
mend itself to the people OF the coun-
try as being in the public interest,
and even where it is necessary to de-
lay the opportunity for foreign serv-
ice to soldiers of long experience it
will be understood to imply nothing
in any way prejudicial to the officers
involved.
Boards of this kind have already
found some Of the general officers of
both the Regular Army and the Ma
tional Guard physically unfit. Such
finding does not in any way reflect
upon the past services OF the officer
or upon his present zeal and willing
ness to make personal sacrifices in
the further service of his country, but
the question to be determined is one
of capacity to perform highly spe-
cialized and arduous type of service. ]"

ITALIANS BATTLE HUNS
WHERE ATILLA WAS HALTED
FIFTEEN CENTURIES AGO

Italy's struggle to save Venice de-
yeloped one of the strangest phases
of war ever known in the history of
the world. 1t is neither land warfare
nor water warfare, but combination
of both and is referred to by CORE
spondents as half aquatic, water
and-land conflict"
Fifteen centuries ago Atilla and his
original Huns reached exactly the
same spot between the Piave and the
Sile rivers that the modern Teutonic
Huns have reached today. Fifteen
hundred years ago the original inhab-
itants Of the section fed from the
mainland and on to the CULTS and flats
of the lagoons founded the island col
onies which eventually became Ven
ice. Over the same intervening canals,
marshes, lagoons and lakes by which
Atilla and his Huns were checked, the
Italians today are checking the mod
ern-day Huns.

BILL WOULD PERMIT
AMERICANS TO ACCEPT
FOREIGN DECORATIONS

Among the frat bills introduced at
the present session OF Congress was
a measure by Congressman Linthi-
cum, of Maryland, ITO permit any
soldier, sailor, marine or other per
son engaged in the service of the
United States during the present war
to accept decorations for valor from
any of the nations allied with the
United States in the prosecution OF
said war"
Passage Of this bill, which seems
practically assured, would permit the
wearing of war crosses recently be-
slowed upon twelve American officers
and enlisted men by the French gov
eminent and the acceptance of sim
liar decorations by the families of
Corporal James D. Gresham and Pri-
Yates Merle D. Hay and Thomas F.
EnriEht, the first United States sol
diers to die in battle "Over There. :"
The fifteen war crosses were present
ed several weeks ago, but the recip-
tents were informed that they could
not wear them until authority was
granted by Congress.
The I.inthicum bill would permit
the acceptance Of decorations from
Great britain and Italy as well as
France, and also provides that diplo-
mats be allowed to receive decora-
tons.

the war.
Shortly after his arrival at an At

spent several months in Europe
working for the Red Cross, said:
Everything is all right with the
American troops this winter. Cen
eral Pershing told me that unless
something unforeseen happens he
does not expect American troops to

curry, one Of the most deadly Of poi
sons.
One Of these drugs might be picked
up for the other in the dark or even
in the daytime, II the label was not
carefully read by the one seeking to
take the medicine. This has resulted
in an innocent father killing his child,
or perhaps his wife, or in some cases
himself.
Another great mistake is to change
drug from one bottle to another
without altering the label. 1t is often
done in dividing up the contents Of
rare drug with neighbor. The one
receiving the unlabeled bottle depends
upon his memory, which often fails
him, and a fatal mistake results.
A very short time ago I knew of a
generous doctor dividing up rare
drug with one of his colleagues, intend
ing to label the bottle he kept for him
self. He neglected to do so, and not
long after he wanted to use the drug
and picked up what he believed to be
the proper bottle, but which proved to
contain an agent active in its power to
destroy tissue. This he dropped into
his eye and only escaped Having his
eye destroyed by narrow margin.
Now this is quite a common mistake,
and people have been made blind by
this carelessness. Drugs that are most
useful are, as a rule, most dangerous,
and should always be kept under lock
and key and plainly labeled. At pres
ent we are being robbed enough of the
members of our families during the
war, so that we should have no pa
tience with the killing Of the innocent
at home by simple carelessness, and it
is this common. everyday practice Of
confusing drug bottles that warn you
against. 1t can all be done away with

Food May Be Saved by Close
Watch of Weather Forecasts

Immense losses of food products oc-
casioned by freezing and other injuri
GUS weather conditions, occur annually
that may, with proper precautions, be
avoided. This is especially true of
shipments by rail during the winter
season. The weather bureau issues
forecasts daily, and special warnings
as occasion demands, giving informa-
ton Of expected weather conditions, in
Guiding frosts, cold waves, high winds
and heavy rains or snow. During the
winter season, officials in charge Of
nearly all weather bureau stations is
sue daily what are known as "Ship-
pers' Forecasts" giving the minimum
temperature expected to occure within
a shipping radius of from "a to SO
hours from the station. These fore
casts are published on postal cards.
Careful watch of forecasts and
warnings will often enable shippers to
avoid losses, either by expediting or
delaying shipments or taking extra pre-
cautions to protect goods from injury.
No shipment of considerable length
should be made without first ascertain
ing the expected conditions over the
route. The occasion demands the ut
most care to prevent losses of food not
only as a matter of self-interest but as
a patriotic duty.
