HUN ATTITUDE PREVENTS
HOSPITAL SHIP VOYAGE
Comforts Proposed Trip Without
p Convoy or Other Protection
Now Abandoned.

Plans for sending the naval hosPi-
tai ship Comfort to France to bring
back sick and wounded soldiers for
hospital treatment have been aban-
doned for the present. 1t had been
intended to send the Comfort across
the Atlantic with an unarmed civilian
crew and without even the protection
of a convoy. on the theory that she
would be safe from attack by the
Germans under the universal law OF
civilized warfare and humanity.
Failing to obtain any assurance
that the Germans would recognize
those laws even in the case of hos
pital ship on an errand of mercy. the
orders for the Comfort to 70 to
France have been recalled.
The vessel is at Tompkinsville. N
Y, where she was fitted out for for
eign service, and will be utilized for
service only on this side of the At
lantic.

THE FRENCH FRONT. July 25.-
That means that we are going to
make another gain" was the comment
of commanding officer at one of the
American headquarters in a chalk
cave an the Soissons front, when word
came last Thursday, morning that
Maj. Theodore Roosevelt and his bat
TALON had been ordered to attack
Poissy at 11:15 in the forenoon.
Maj. Roosevelt led his men, already
wearied by days of fighting. up a hill
and captured the village at the top.
He himself was struck by a bullet in
the leg Just as the Job was completed,
and though he fell he refused to be
sent to the rear. He insisted on re-
naming and directing the men until
a high officer ordered him to return,
whereupon he came back in the side
car of motor cycle to first aid sta
ton. After his wound had been dress
ed he again asked permission to go to
the front. The injury. though not Sc
rfous. may stiffen the leg for some
time.
In making the attack Rooseyelt's
battalion 'leap-frogged" through the
ranks Of q battalion led by another
