WARS LIFE TOLL
NO GREATER THAN
OF TUBERCULOSIS

New York, July 1.-THE war has
served effectually to disclose that
mortality from tuberculosis during
the four years of hostility among
the civilian population and in the
armies OF all the countries engaged
has at least approximated the total
number of soldiers killed in bat
tie. according TO DR.. Livingston
Farrand.
AS director of the American COM
mission for the prevention OF tu-
berculosis in France. DR.. Farrand
will resume his work overseas
within a few days after his return
10 America for graduation exer-
cises of the University OF Colorado,
OF which he is president.
That the people of America throw
themselves into the winning OF the
war against tuberculosis with the
same zeal and efficiency With which
they have hurled themselves
against Germany is the burden OF
an appeal made by DR.. Farrand on
the eve OF his departure.
ITO make our country really safe
for democracy we must first make
II healthy" is the slogan DR.. Far

Air Attack on
u. S. Hospital
Is Deliberate

Paris, July 1.-Two German air
planes took part in the deliberate
bombing of the American Red Cross
hospital at Jouy late Monday night.
An investigation of the affair has
been made at the request of Harvey
D. Gibson, American Red Cross
commissioner for France, by Dan
iel T. Pierce. of the committee on
public information.
The report shows that four
bombs were dropped at IL o'clock
at night. Two fell squarely on
tents, one fell seven feet from an
other tent and the fourth failed to
explode.
There are no structures of any
kind near the hospital and the near
est railroad is three kilometres
away. In addition to the usual Red
Cross markings, a large cross 100
feet long was in position on the
lawn. Photographs taken recently
from airplanes show that the
cross was visible several thousand
feet in the air.
Seven witnesses agree that the
German aviators flew back and
forth several times. They then shut
off their engines, dropped to within
a few hundred feet and let go their
bombs after a careful observation.
v The German aim was not good
for fortunately only two enlisted
men were killed and nine of the
hospital personnel wounded.
Two pieces of a bomb went
through a window and passed with
in four feet of the surgeon in charge
who was performing a difficult op-
Grafton. When the bombs fell, all
the lights went out, leaving the op-
Grating tables in darkness and the
surgeon with great difficulty was
able TO give the patient temporary
relief Another piece of bomb tore
open the chest of an orderly as he
was raising a patient to give him
a drink
One Of the nine hospital attend
ants wounded. lost a leg, amputa-
ton being performed Tuesday.
The hospital had until recently
so German wounded prisoners
among its patients. They had re-
ceived exactly the same treatment
as the other patients and were even
given special Fourth of July delica-
cies. All the Germans were CRATE
full, except a lieutenant, who OBJ
tected violently to being placed in
the same ward with his men.

Throwing new forces into

The only gain made by the
Germans during the night, ac-

report, was south OF the Marine,
where they attacked the allied
, line north OF II. Agnan and
reached BOurdOnnerie.
Berlin claims the Germans
captured $4,000 prisoners Mon

Lieutenant Roosevelt was last
seen in combat on Sunday morn
| ing with two enemy airplanes about
ten miles inside the German lines
| in the Chateau Thierry sector. He
started out with a patrol of 1j
American machines. They en-
countered seven Germans and were
chasing them back when two of
them turned on Lieutenant Roose-
7 welt.
Reports of the fight state that the
Germans appeared to be shooting at
the lieutenant from the rear, the
three machines being close togeth-
er. Then one of the machines was
seen tumbling through the clouds
and a patrol which went in search
Of Lieutenant Roosevelt returned
without trace of him. He appeared
to be fighting up TO the last mo-
ment
One account of the combat states
that the machine caught fire before
it began to fall.
Quentin Roosevelt, in April, 1917,
ioined the Canadian aviation corps
TO train for service with the Amer
lean army He was commissioned
last fall and in the present spring
began active service with the
American air forces on the French
front. On July 8, he took part in
an aerial battle between American
and German machines in the
Marine region and a few days later
on Julv 10, it was announced that
he had brought down his first Ger
man afrpIane in a fight north of
Chateau Thierry.
In this fight, Lieutenant Roose-
welt, with three other pilots was
three miles inside the German
lines at a height of 5000 yards
when he became separated from his
COMPANIONS. Sighting three air
planes which he thought were
those of his fellows, he started to-
ward them and was close by when
he saw he had been mistaken and
that the airplanes were German. He
opened fire and saw that after
some fifty shots his tracer bullets
had penetrated the fusi.age of the
nearest German plane. The ma
chine went into a spinning nose
dive and fell through The clouds
1000 yards below. Lieutenant
Roosevelt was certain that the en-
envy machine must have crashed.

The converging attack of the

Gouraud, who, according to Henri
Bidou. military critic of the Journal
Des Debats, leaving his first lines
lightly held and putting the line of
resistance well to the rear, allowed
the German blow to expend itself
on empty space. After this false
stroke, the enemy was obliged to
cross a deadly zone, where he was
shot to pieces before reaching the
real French line. The French
losses were quite insignificant.
