1t is to be regretted that the work
of this department has to be dis
continued for the present, but the
fact that the warehouse at WASH
ington is without any gauze, from
when the local society secures ita
materials. as we'll as all other soci-
cites of this division has necessi-
tated the closing of all surgical dres-

new supply IS received, this work
will have To be discontinued.

again be opened within a few days

through the press just as soon
as the material is received II
may be well to impress upon the
public and those helping with this
work that 1t is no fault OF the focal

New Italian Star
Victor in | 3~Mle
Race in London

A new Italian Marathon star named
speron has come into prominence In
the Old World. and unless hs is potted
by Hun bullet he promises to be as
much of a sensation az Dorando, the
Italian, of few years ago. In the
international Marathon, held recently
at Stamford Bridge, London, the Ital-
ian, who, by the way, is the army cham
pion of his native land, ran clean away
from his English and other opponents
and won as he pleased. The distance
was thirteen miles, the start and finish
being inside of the inclosure. About
10000 persons paid admission to see
the two critical points of the race.
The main portion of the contest wss
over the roads outside through Waiham
Green and Hampstead Heath.
Speroni ran with high knee ac-
ton, style which caused a laugh
among the English critics and brought
forth the comment that if he finished
at all he was wonder. Not only did he
finish, but he came in arst with lot
to spare. When about half of the route
had been left behind the Italian shot
into the lead, and, stepping along in
his snowy style, was never headed. Had
he been pressed the opinion afterward
was that he surely would have shown
much better time for the distance.
