Suffers Double Death
Inside Twenty-fOuT Hours

On October . Private Martin p.
christensen, whose father Matthias
Christensen. lives at sss Smith street,
died at a hospital in England.
A sad feature OF the case was that
on the same day a niece Of Private
Christensen died Of influenza here
and his father was token III.
The following letter has been re-
ceived from the authorities OF the hos
pital
My Dear Mrs. Christiansen:-You
no doubt have been notified by the
authorities at Washington Of the death
of your son, Private Martin F.. Chris
Hansen, who died at this hospital of
broncho pneumonia today at 1:45 p.
m. 1t becomes the ~ duty of myself
as Red Cross representative at this
post to give you a few details OF his
last days.
The writer called on your son sew
eral times a day from the date of his
entrance into the hospital September
8 until a few minutes before his de-
mise. Up to within the last four days
he had beer very cheerful and conf
d&nt of his recovery.
None of us thought but that he was
certain to pull through. but after he
had practically recovered from pneu-
monia, he developed mumps and then
an abscess of tho right middle ear
set in. The latter complication com
ing as they did in his weakened condi-
ton proved too much for human en-
~durance and skillful medical aid.
We of the overseas forces attached
to hospital service cannot help but
feel that the American giving his life
for democracy and country upon a
death bed is as much a martyr to the
aus as he who faces the enemy.
Nothing we can say at this time
can perhaps soften the blow to the
dear ones at home. but we feel you
have given a son to the worthy cause.
Private Christiansen will be inferred
in the American cemetery at Win
chester with full military honors.
Photographs will be taken of the
grave. of which we will be pleased
to send you a copy later on.
Respectfully.
LIEUTENANT j. r. CLEwILL.

STATEN ISLAND
BURGLAR WHO BROKE JAIL IN
STATEN ISLAND RECAPTURED
Clever Tip by Member of Police Re-
servcs Lands Criminal Once
More Behind Bars.

BY Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 19:-John
Geraldson, seventeen years old of 249
Barnard avenue, who escaped from
the county jail at Richmond on Sep
tember IA. this year, is again safely
behind the bars.
Geraldson was In jail on a burglary
charge. With John LaFord, twenty
one years old of $40 West Forty
fourth street, Manhattan. he was
charged with forcing an entrance to
the residence of Louis Rively of 1929
Arthur Kill road, July IL and stealing
a quantity of Jewelry belonging to two
boarders. Geraldson was arrested two
days after the robbery and had been
In the county jail up to the time or
his escape.
LaFord Was arrested in Perth Am
boy about the same time and was
locked up in the county Jail at New
Brunswick until brought over in Au-
gust to Staten Island.
Geraldson escaped through a coal
chute from the county jail. A general
alarm was sent u for him but he
succeeded in eluding the police until
yesterday.
Shortly before 6 o'clock last night,
Lieutenant McIvor of the Sixtieth
Precinct station, Tottenville, received
a tip from a member of h police re-
serves that Geraldson had been seen
in New Jersey riding on a Philadel-
phia auto truck and hat II was head
ed toward Staten Island. Captain a
Wagner of the Ninth Branch Bureau
was notified with the result that De-
tective Detroit captured Geraldson
about 6:35 o'clock in Richmond road,
Dongan Hills.
He was riding on the front seat OF
the truck with three men. G~eraldson
told Detroit that he had Just came In
from Philadelphia and was then on
his way to Manhattan where he ex-
pected to go either to Chicago or San
Francisco for the winter II he had not
been caught. Geraldson was turned
over to Sheriff Pitou and another In
dictment will probably be lodged
against him for breaking Jail by the
grand jury hat is now In session.
He and LaFord have been indicted
on the burglary charge and their
trial had been set for October but
owing to the former escaping their
case had been postponed. They will
probably be put on trial at the next
term of court.

PLACE OF TORTURE

PARIS. Nov. 19-Civilians in the
recaptured Laon region will not soon
forget DR.. Nicholson of Germeny-
known as the Butcher"
The hospital" Nicholson ran was
called the slaughter House."
When the Germans invaded. the re-
sion they organized this hospital for
persons suffering from contagious dis
eases.
Sometimes the patients sent to this
hospital came out, but they were al
ways more infirm than when they
went in" said the mayor of a COM
mune in the recaptured region.
Nicholson was ignorant, lazy and
brutal: He beat helpless patients.
And his assistants took their cue from
him.
Some of the patients were starved
as punishment for some imaginary
fault which they had never been gull
ty Of" said the mayor.
"A black soup was the only form
OF nourishment. Nicholson claimed
he had asked for provisions but they
had been stolen on the way. OF

lined with satin or brocade Is now of
silk or satin lined with wool! Indeed,
these wraps may be worn on either
side, as they are reversible.
Remember that up and down lines
make for slenderness.. Avoid too vivid
colors, and arge-fgured materials. A
well ll-covered ground in the design Of
the material is best. Stripes used ver-
tically are splendid, and also plaids
and checks, IL they are not too large
and prominent.
Sleeves cause the greatest diver
gence of opinion, some makers spon-
soring short and elbow sleeves even
in tailor made dresses.
Chinese embroideries are used as
appliques on metal grounds for after
noon gowns and the oriental note is
beginning to make itself known in
design also.

Smart simplicity stamps every
thing, from morning dress to gowns
for formal occasions. Tie effects are
obtained in many cases by the COM
binations of materials.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be the straight silhouette !;
narrow skirt, a trie short perhaps to
allow for easy walking; and above all
things the careful use of wool, the
substitution of other materials wher-
ever possible. Indeed, all Paris has
taken the matter of Spring fashions
in the best possible light. One has to
be clothed; then, why not becomingly
clothed? There is nothing depressing
about these simple fashions.
Quite new idea is the lining of
taffeta with flannel to make 1t more
practical for early Spring wear. In

boon, as it can be worn on almost
all occasions. The one pictured here

trimmed with fiat silk braid in black.

MACHINE GUN CITED
 AS PREMIER WEAPON

LONDON, April 9. Correspondence of The Associated Press)-"Of all the weapons used in the present war. the machine-gun has unquestionably prov ed itself the most efficient" says a British expert in the Daily Mail. Probably a majority of the casual ties in the war have been caused by this weapon. certainly the greater proportion of the enormous losses dur ing the fighting of the past few weeks have been so inflicted.
 Any type of machine gun in the hands of a skillful operator has the same destructive effect upon men moving in mass formation that keen-edged scythe has in a field of ripened wheat. It cuts broad swathes; nothing can stand against it.
 "A well-served machine-gun is the most formidable thing that attacking battalions have to face. It is not merely the front ranks that suffer. At anything approaching close range, the bullets will go through the front rank men, often through the second rank as well, and kill or wound those i'm mediately behind them"
 There are several types of machine gun now in use in the British army, such as the Lewis, the Maxim, the Vickers and the Hotchkiss. All are very mobile. They can be moved quickly from one place to another, advantage being taken of any cover that offers. Each class of machine gun has with it a squad of about ten men. Should they find themselves pressed too closely, they pick up their weapon, fall back with it, and reopen fire upon the enemy from the next favorable position.
