TREAT WOUNDED IN FACE Of FOE

seen the troops, guns and transports
go by in streams TO points I'm the rear,
but as long as the wounded are
brought there, these Americans will
stay.
\ few hours after American Red
Cross headquarters in Paris learned
of the big German offensive, IL dis
patched eight trucks and motor cars
To this hospital to aid in the evacua-
ton of the patients. Night and day
the Red Cross drivers worked bring
ing the wounded from the hospital to
Paris.
When this had been accomplished
the Red Cross cars went out into the
surrounding country to pick I'D the
wounded, who were attempting TO
walk TO a hospital. and to aid the
refugees struggling along the ad.
Besides transporting these two hun
dred or more wounded men TO places
of safety, the Red Cross cars aided
$50 refugees to the Railroads in three
uays.
But their work had only begun.
Despite the evacuation of the hospital
and the consequent order for more of
the staff to accompany the patients to
points of safety, the wounded kept
coming in. Ninety per cent of them
We're serious cases. Practically all
demanded immediate operations. Not
simple operations, but major ones.
where steady nerve. delicate touch
and sure hand were necessary to give
the wounded the best chance for life.
Night and day the American sur
geons worked. There were q few
completely tagged. mentally and
physically. Every one needed rest.
But there were the men coming in
every few hours, their bodies pitifully
torn. and suffering untold agonies. So
no one thought Of stopping. and even
when one did get few hours of duty
there were the big guns only a few
hundred feet from the hospital. They
belched and rOared all night.
OF course, some Of the. cases were
hopeless and no amount Of surgical
skill or medical attention could save
them. Here again the American Red
Cross men came in for more work.
They had to dig the graves and act as
pallbearers.
One night was especially hard. The
doctors were kept busy in the oper-
ating room until three o'clock in the
morning. The nurses had to have a
bit Of rest. One nurse only was avail
able. So again the Red Cross drivers
were called upon. One became an aid
to the operating surgeon, remaining
in service until the last wounded man
was rolled finally into his bed.

AMERICANS IN HERO ROLE
Incident Of Early Spring Offensive Of
Huns on the Somme That Should
Make Americans Proud of
Their Men.

WashingtOn.-The story of the part
America and Americans played in aid
ing the British and the French during
the early spring offensive of the Ger
mans on the Somme can never be ade-
quately told. The whole. picture is too
big to paint on one canvas. 1t is only
by describing the work of individuals
and particular groups of workers that
some idea of the American effort and
its effectiveness in this historic battle
can be brought home to the people
back homeland then only in small
way.
While it is perhaps only a very
small incident In the history of that
great affair, the story Of how small
band of American Red Cross workers
carried on" at one Of the evacuation
hospitals back of the British front
should make Americans proud. When
all but a few of the hospital staff had
left with the two hundred or more
patients and the Germans were ad-
vancing only a few miles away, four
American army surgeons, assigned to
the American Red Cross for work at
this particular hospital, declared their
intention of sticking till h frOze
over" And six Red Cross ambulance
and truck drivers, as well as several
American Red Cross nurses and aides
stuck" with them.
The Americans made their decision
not because of sheer bravado. but be-
cause the hospital had the opportu-
nifty of serving few wounded SOL
diers from day to day-and could save
their lives. And at this writing these
Americans are still there. giving much
needed medical attention to French
and British soldiers who are brought
back to this hospital because 1t is
the nearest one back Of that point Of
the line.
The big guns Of the British and
French have been planted in the rear
Of it-and then moved farther back.

SALT WOODEN SHIPS
Method Used to lengthen Life of
Vessels.
Turns Seepage Into Brine, Which Acts
as q Preservative of tho
Wood.

Seattle, Wash.-C. o. Morrow, pres
ident Of the Elliottray Shipbuilding
company, suffered something of a
shock the other morning. but at that it
was nothing to the shock suffered by
several prominent citizens who were
taking stroll through the cOmpany's
big wooden shipbuilding plant.
The citizens were shocked when they
discovered that 20 tons of rock salt is
used in building each of the big wood
en- ships now under construction in
Seattle. Mr.. Morrow was shocked be-
cause his callers didn't know that rock
salt is shipbuilding material. Every
body on the water front knows that.
but Ii seems that there are "a lot of
prominent business men who didn't.
There is now a suspicion that only a
very few residents east of Railroad
TO be sailed.
In showing the prominent citizens
about his plant Mr.. Morrow came to
the building in which he stores this
rock salt. A railroad car was unload
ing another shipment.
This is where we keep the salt for
the ships" said Morrow.
''Haw, haw !" said one caller, who is
something of humorst. Il suppose
you're afraid the ships will get too
fresh?"
That's the exact truth" said Mr..
Morrow.
But the citizens wouldn't believe him
until they had examined the salt. Some
of them tasted ii. The storehouses
contained 40 tons.
Mr.. Morrow explained that the salt
is poured between the frames of Il
wooden ship above the water line and
is tamped down solid. Then if any wa
ter seeps into the spaces between the
frames it is turned To brine and does
not damage the wood. Instead, ii acts
as preservative.
