MOVE U. 5. WOUNDED QUICKLY
Almost Last aBtch From Recent
Fighting Leaves Paris

Paris, June ga record for han
ding wounded has been set in the re-
moval of Americans from Paris. AL
almost the last batch of Americans
wounded in the recent German offensive
who areto be removed from the base
hospitals and sent either to the United
States or TO other hospitals in the
south of France for further treatment
and convalescence left Paris last night
on one Of the American hospital trains.
Their departure leaves only a few hun
dred rapidly recovering American
wounded in Paris hospitals. The French,
who have had ample opportunity to see
at first hand the American methods, are
frank in their admiration. while the
British have found the trains SO val
liable that they have borrowed three of
them for their wounded.
The German offensive at its outset
was so fast that several French hospi.
tails had to be given UP In the retreat
This increased the work Of the rest of
the hospitals, and especially the labor
Of the ambulance service in carrying
wounded to the rear.

was the Sing" by United States sailors
and marines on City Hall plaza. Thou
sands blended their voices with those
Of the fighting men. while patriotic ad-
dresses drew many war savings pledges

KAISER BARGATNED
FOR MESOPOTAMIA
Rhodes Used the Emperor's
Covetousness of Turk Ter.
ritory in Telegraph Deal

Copyright, 1918, By NEG York Times Co.
London. June -.
The Chronicle says Prince Lichnow-
sky in his recent revelations referred to
''the program Of the great Rhodes"
This allusion is explained by r. G.
Hawkin In his tract on Central Africa
and the League of Nations" who tells
how Rhodes in 1899 called on the Kaiser
at Potsdam to square" him on the
''Cape-to-Cairo" scheme.
There is only one record In this coun-
try Of that interview and that was writ
ten by Rhodes himself and handed to
King Edward. then Prince Of Wales.
But scraps have leaked out.
At first the Kaiser resolutely refused
to allow the "Cape-to-Cairo" telegraph
to cross German East Africa At last
It came to something like a row. during
which Rhodes suddenly accused the
Kaiser Of wanting MesopotAmia, and
the Kaiser retorted. What IL 1 do?"
That reply gave Rhodes his supreme
diplomatic victory. 1t was an admis-
sion by a responsible sovereign that
Germany was coveting territory owned
by Turkey. The statesman changed his
tone, talked plain English and dared to
potamia in return for a free hand In
Africa. The Kaiser took the bait. Three
days later they met at a dinner. and on
the following day the telegraph agree
ment was duly signed.
Rhodes came back to England, de-
livered great speech eulogizlng the
Kaiser and added a codicil to his will
establishing scholarships at Oxford for
students Of German birth. Then he re-
turned to South Africa and the Boer
war began. The Kaiser refused all in
vitations to join France and Russia
against England, refused to see Kruger
when the old President reached Europe,
and one of the last letters Rhodes re-
ceived was from the Kaiser congratu-
lating him that his telegraph wire had
reached Ujiji. in Central Africa. Mean
while, the Kaiser had embarked upon
his designs In Mesopotamia.

races Of Austria Hungary. from which

As regards life in the interior Of Aus
tria-Hungary, Hungarians say that con-
ditions there are not really SO bad In
their own country.
White bread can be had almost every
where. and corn is being brought from
Rumania and the Ukraine. Hungarian
newspapers maintain to the contrary,
SO as to deceive Austria and Germany
and prevent pressure from being brought
to bear on Hungary to export food.
Austrian prisoners brought back from
Russia. some of whom have been identi-
fed as having fought in the recent Aus
trian offensive In Italy, say that they
got only . months leave after their re-
turn from Russia before being obliged to
rejoin the army. Consequently. there
have been frequent troubles.
Near Judenburg a party of returned
ofiicers and men took to the woods with
arms and ammunition and resisted the
police for some time. Another band of
deserters broke into an ofiicers' mess
and murdered some Of them.

WILSON KEEPS LINE

Hurley Says President Is AL.
ways in Close Touch With
Ship Methods

Chicago, June 29.--President Wilson'S
familiarity with the industrial phases Of
Americas war preparations was
described by Edward n. Hurley, chair
man OF the slipping board, before a meet
ing here of the Illinois Manufacturers
Association Mr.. Hurley said:
I'VE are applying manufacturing
principles to the shipbuilding business.
and we find these methods successful.
The methods have been followed with
close interest by President Wilson. You
probably think Of the President as
man 80 overburdened with work and the
time to study methods.
THE President handles all his work SO
systematically that he finds time to give
a part of his time even sc ths more In
innate problems of the various depart
ments. You know how steadily I
preached knowledge of manufacturing
costs when was chairman Of the Fed
eral trade commission. The President
you would believe to be possible In the
case of a great war executive.
Congress allotted the President an
appropriation of $100.000.000 for emer-
Ssnty war PURPOSES; se nd p, n,ay
be confident every dollar was carefully
expended under his direction.
THE President has been steadfast in
his determination that there shall be no
profteering in this war. and he knows
what constitutes prof1teering. and what.
on the other hand. constitutes a margin
Of profit that enables the manufacturer
to expand his plant to meet the nations
needs In this war
President Wilson's whole thought Is
given to the successful prosecution OF
the war, and when the end Of It comes
America will have the consciousness that
there will be no repetition Of II, and
that the peace of the world will be Sc
cure. Under his leadership the country Is
reconstructing itself not merely for the
length of the war. but for the enduring
peace of the future"
