THE DRUG EVIL.
Il Is Now tho Object Of Nationwide
Fight.

Plans are being formed by govern
ment officials to combat the drug hab-
1t. which Is rapidly increasing because
OF the elimination Of alcoholic drinks.
Secretary McAdoo appointed last jan
| uary a committee composed OF ex-
pert investigators and scientists to
| study the entire subject OF drug ad-
diets. Representative Henry T. Raj
ney of Illinois. chairman Of the COM
mittec, charges that opium, heroin and
morphine are being smuggled In In
great quantities by stokers on troop
ships.
In the near future, within week or
ten days perhaps, the report OF the
committee named by Mr.. McAdoo will
be made and then some definite action
will be taken to curb the trade In mar
cotics and cure the addicts.
Mr.. Rainey after a careful study OF
conditions throughout the country
makes these allegations:
| First-That there are 100000 ad-
diets in the nation. 100000 OF whom
are in New York city.
| Second-That there were $4,000 drug
addicts in the first draft. and that
Young men are becoming addicts TO es-
cape the draft.
Third-That twenty-five physicians.
commissioned captains in the army.
have the drug habit.
Troopships the Avenue.
| Opium" said Mr. Rainey, rs being
brought into this country, in violation
of the law, by stokers on troopships.
who engage themselves as sailors with
a view to smuggling In narcotics. AIT
er these men are hired they go aboard
and their baggage is not inspected or
searched after the first day. The ship
lies at the wharf and the drugs are
brought in. We have evidence to sup
port this statement.
Mr.. Rainey declared that 81 worth
of the stuff brought in. when mixed
with sugar and milk. brings from $50
to $35. making a very profitable busi-
ness at small risk in war times.
1T is fair to assume that there are
more than 100000 drug addicts In the
United States. Eighty thousand ad-
diets were caught in the first draft.
most OF them were turned down by
camp doctors. Some who got through
have been sent home since they COM
menced to train.
| Army Officers Accused.
"I have a list OF twenty-fi five physi-
clans, commissioned as captains. who
are addicts.
"I have the name Of one physician.
himself an addict. who started to his
post in France. with large amount OF
narcotics to hand out to soldiers"
The drug habit is affecting the man.
power Of the nation. and for that par
ticular reason the government will
check II.
The report Of the McAdoo committee
Is awaited with interest by members
of congress and others who keep in
touch with the progress OF prohibition.
1t is believed the investigation will
show that the use Of narcotics has
greatly increased in the dry terri
tory.

"On the night Of the 18th of july,
about II o'clock we had an unpleasant

wounded were awaiting operation out

airplane overhead. and the anti-aircraft
guns began firing all around us. Pres
emily we heard the plane come quite
, low. and then in quick succession there
were tremendous crashes as ii dropped
bombs right among our ward tents.
There was the sound of breaking glass,
as fragments of the bombs came through
the windows of the operating room. For
tunately at night We had steel shutters
closed inside the windows. and these
prevented the fragments from coming
into the room, or else there would have
been casualties there
