British Well
Equipped With
Nava1 Hospital,

Correspondence Associated Press
London, May There are eleven
hospital ships in the British navy, these
being entirely distinct from hospital
ships employed by the army. In addi-
ton there are number OF private
yachts, fitted out by their owners,
which have been taken over by the ad-
mlralty for the transport of wounded
over short distances.
A great deal Of medical and surgical
work has been done in hospital ships
both while acting as mobile base hos
pitfalls to the various fleets and while
carrying wounded. The employment of
hospital ships as mobile base hospitals
enables feet to use suitable bases
without regard to the question Of dis
posal of the sick and wounded, the long
transport of acute cases being reduced
TO a minimum. But the hospital ships

sick or wounded men from fighting

In all ships Of the navy the sick

ments and other apparatus. except bare

are distributed between two dressing
stations below the waterline, one for
ward, the other aft. These sta tons
have special ventilation, lighting and
equipment, and are supplied with hot
and cold water. Here the medical off,
GERS are stationed during action, the
wounded being brought TO them by
stretcher parties during pauses in the
fighting.

entire berth staff and the chaplain
were killed. The medical officer in
charge was knocked down and injured.
but he pulled himself together,
cleared" the station to the other side
of the ship, and worked without sleep
ing for forty-eight hours.
After treatment, the wounded are
passed on to disposal stations fitted
with special accommodation sings for
cots and stretchers. Large modern
fighting craft all possess a fully
equipped operating room. which can be
used, If still available, after an action
During this war gas respirators and
masks have been provided, and after
the battle Of Jutland, when the need
arose for the prevention and treatment
of burns face masks and gloves were
issued for the use of the crews. There
was also introduced an improved meth
cd Of treating burns with paraffin wax
The total accommodation provided by
the country's naval hospitals is about

medical officers is 1873. Eighty-three
have been killed or drowned since the
war began.
During the war the health OF the
navy has been remarkably good. in fact
probably better than in pre-war years

Extension of German
Lines Rapidly Uses Up

New York, June s.-The fatal lure Of
Paris is enticing Won Htndenburg into
an extravagant extension Of his front
that will prove far beyond the means
OF the German army to support when
Americas major offensive starts for
the Rhine.
The front between Scissors and
Chateau Thierry, which is the nearest
line 10 Paris. has begun to bulge at
its middle, like the stomach Of glut-
ton Won Hindenburgs own blood giut-
tony is now being forced to feed itself
only at this one sector OF the front.
The other areas are held secondary TO
the deep necessity for reaching the
environs Of Paris.
Each mile by which Won Hindenburg
extends the new salient toward Paris
the German general staff must find
5000 more men for its protection. Each
mile, therefore. Of Won Hindenburg' s
new advance means 5000 men must be
taken from the German reserves and
placed permanently along the battle
front where they can no longer serve
for surprise attacks such as were used
in Picardy. Flanders and Aisne often
sives. The German front has now been
extended about thirty. miles since the
beginning Of the Aisne attack. This
means 10000 Germans have been per-
manently transferred from the reserves
to the trenches.
If the German Casualties last week
are placed at l00.o the total depletion
of Won Hindenburg's reserves must be
placed at ESQ, 900.
With this number removed from
participating in future surprise oper-
atoms Won Hindenburg's power for de-
veloping new offensives by sudden
shock operations has been seriously
impaired. A few more miles OF Ger
man advance toward Paris, therefore.
contains no eluleent of alarm for Cen
eral Foch. AS long as Won linden
burg IS permanently halted at a rea-
sonable distance from the French CAPT
tai it is he and not General Foch who
should do the worrying in the future.
The strong resistance now being de-
veloped by the French is not to be re-
garded as major counter attack. but
as normal defensive fighting Only as
a desperate resort to save vital posi-
tons would an allied major counter at
tack be justified while America is IN
able fully to participate. When that
time comes counter attack" Will be too

The purpose of the utility com.
mission is not to grab the public
service corporations by the throat
and choke them, but to represent
both the corporations and the
people in seeing that both get a
fair deal.
It takes bravery and strength
for the commission to grant an IN
crease in rates, but if the corpora
tions are entitled to them, the CON-
mission is only acting justly in
granting the increases.
On the other hand, if increases
are granted which are unwarrant-
ed, and which place an unfair
burden onto the public, woe be
unto the utility commission.

Local Phone Rates
Not Raised Here

The Denver newspaper cam
paign of attack in attempting to
make it appear that teleph one
rates have been increased thruout
the state is not consistent with the
fact that in number of cities
and towns rates have been reduced
to bring about an adjustment for
the state as a whole.
In Idaho Springs, Georgetown,
Central City and a number of
other places no change has been
made in business rates but the
residence rates have been some-
what reduced. A one-party phone
will now cost $27 instead of $50.
The principal increases in rates
are in Denver, where the rates
were shown to be inadequate to
afford the company the revenue
to which it is justly entitled.
The cost of phoning from Idaho
Springs to Denver or vice versa
will now be 80 cents for three
minutes instead of 25c, and 10
cents for each extra minute, instead
of cents as heretofore. To these
rates the Sc war tax is added.
