It is to be supposed, Of course, that
men in the service are fully informed
as to provisions that have been made
BY the United States for the care OF
disabled soldiers and sailors, but how
about the families and friends Of
these men who every day are risking
their limbs and their senses as well
as their lives in service for their
country?
| Do these relatives and friends know
that wonderful plan is being
worked out by which men disabled
by war-worked may be helped into
positions where they may be useful,
happy citizens?
In the October number Of "The
Vocational Summary" an article Is
published under the caption, Every
Disabled Soldier and Sailor Should
Know" The Metropolis believes
that this article should be repub
lished in every newspaper in the
country under the title, Every
Friend and Relative Of Men in the
Service Should Know" and IS giving
it here for the sake of the Home
Folks" Every disabled soldier AND
sailor, says the article, shiult
know:
"That the Government is resolved
to do it's best to restore him to health
strength, and self-supporting activity
"That until his discharge from hos
, pital care the medical and surgica
treatment necessary to restore him tt
. |. health and strength is under the jur
isdiction of the military or naval au
: thorities.
' "That the vocational training whicl
! may be afterwards necessary to re
: store his self-supporting activity i
under the jurisdiction of the Fedora
l. Board for Vocational Education.
"That if he needs an artificial lin
or other orthopedic or mechanical al
pliance the Government supplies
free upon his discharge, and aftel
a wards keeps it in repair and renew
it, when considered necessary.
= "That it, after his discharge, h
again needs medical treatment o

ment supplies it free.
: THAT any man whose disability e.
. titles him to compensation under tn
/ war-risk insurance act may be PRE-
vided by the Federal Board with

new occupation.
THAT the Government strongl
recommends each man who needs
! to undertake vocational training, an
put himself under the care Of tn

The aerial observer Immediately
sent down his wireless report.
Direction good. One hundred
yards too long"
The range was accordingly short
ened and a second volley fired.
Again the aviator licked in his re-
port
Direction good. Range still too
long. Shorten as much as before"
The artillery commander recheck-
ed his calculations and would have
sworn that they were correct. To
make sure, he had the observer re-
peat his report, and again shortened
the range.
A third time the guns roared.

the general. You are firing on our
own trenches"
The entire offensive had been de-
layed and several thousand Of oul
men, massed in the front line trench
for the attack, had been cut to pieces
by our misdirected fire.
AT first the general refused to lis
ten to the artilleryman, but finally
he allowed him to talk. Fauxnom
was called down from the air by wire

did so plausible that the general wa.
undecided where the blame lay ant

duties.
Later in the day, however, the gen

WILL, fight MALARIA
AROUND Army CAMPS
Public Health Service Planning Sci.
enti6c Campaign to Stop Disease.

Malaria and kindred summer ills
are to be fought out of American
training camps and cantonments this
summer as vigorously as a German
invasion.
The United States Public Health
Service under the Treasury Depart
ment. 1t was said yesterday, has pre-
pared TO wage bitter war on every
form of malaria-carrying agent,
around camps in the malaria zones
of the country.
Malaria was one of the most de-
structive elements of the Spanish
American war.
a zone of one to two miles wide
will be thrown around twenty or more
camps in the South, and experts will
direct the fight
A survey of the area over which
the operations will extend will be
the first step. Ditching. draining.
and where draining is impracticable
the introduction of a certain mos
quito eating minnow, will be some
of the methods used Screening will
play an important part.

COMFORT WITH
WILSON EDICT
Encouraging Words of Pres
ident on Autonomy Offset
German Propaganda.

President Wilson's frequent and In
spring declaration in favor Of united
and independent Poland coupled with
American propaganda methods have at
last overtaken German propaganda
schemes in Poland.
That is explanation in part at least
which important members Of the Pol
ish immigration in America gave yes
terday for the military and political
moves which are being made.
They are also of the belief that the
demonstration is only beginning and
that the Austrian government at the
reopening of Parliament on Tuesday
next will find a favorable budget vote
impossible and that parliamentary
troubles will also arise in Germany.
The American propaganda was made
effective by reason of the recognition
of the Polish national committee In
paris by the American government. As
a result the speeches OF President Will
SON which the Wolff Agency. German
controlled, only distributed after the
references Of the President to Poland
were deleted have been sent for In
their entirety.
The Polish immigration in America
has also been able to assist in making
known the real American attitude to
the Paris committee. German misrep-
resentation has in certain cases been
overtaken on the threshold Of Poland
The real facts are now being made
known and 1t is hoped that this Is
only the beginning. Out Of the Near
East has again come proof Of the
loyalty OF the Poles.
They do not promise. they cat. Ihey
by their willingness to lose their oWr
they fight.
The cost Of the sacrifice is only set
by their willingness to loose their own
lives. 1t is hard to forecast what
may result from the military and
political maneuers now taking place
in Poland. Their only hope is that
their sacrifice will not be in vain.

BRILLIANT audience
At CERCLE FRANCAIS
Society Hears Prominent Speakers
Encourage Study of French.

A brilliant audience attended the
second meeting OF the newly formed
Cercle Francois.
Mrs. W. c. Gorgas. wife of the Sur
seon General Of the United States
army. made the opening address and
emphasized the need of the French
language among all patriotic women
and war workers. She also read a
very patriotic letter from a French
orphan thanking a member of the
Cercle for her aid.
Prof. Basile G. d'OnaSil L-'es-Ll. OF
the University of Lyon, France, un-
der the auspices of which the lectures
are to be given, said: There are
100000 people who speak the French
language today, and 90.OO0,000 more
people who are anxious to speak it.
After the war. French will be the
PREDOMINANT language, second only to
English
". l.. Schwartz, director Of the
classes, spoke on the war savings
stamps.
The remainder of the program con-
sisted Of patriotic songs in both the
En=lish and French languages. And a
snlo-the "MarseiIlaise," by Mrs. Kin
cheloe, wife of Representative Kin
creloe, of Kentucky.
The next meeting will be held on
Saturday at 40 in the large audi
torium of the Perpetual Building As
sOciation.
The French High Commits sion has
promised to cooperate with the move
ment. and is sending two of its best
speakers to address the members of
the Cercle.
