Editor Army Edition:
Having been in France for Grtcen
months, and for the past five months
IN Paris, ! find from close obsrrya-
ton that the French girls arc by far
more polite and attentive than most of
the American girls. They are very
pleasing, very agreeable, always try
ing to make you feel happy and at
homo, very considcratA Of your feel
lngS, and quito often putting thcm-
selves out OF their way to do YOU some
kindness, besides being very attrac-
tive and more stylish than most of
our American girls.
After four years of hard and
strenuous war with many little pleas
ures denied them, many loved ones
taken away from them, the whole
country in sadness, when you sec
them when you know them, they are
unchanged, always ready to greet you,
doing their best to make you love
France; and make your stay a happy
10. Quite often ! have wondered if
conditions were reversed, would the
American girls treat tie French SOL
dicrS as the French girls are feat
ing us?'
Honor to them. fellow soldiers of

The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1918-09-04

A few months ago several official or
semiofficial denials were made regard
ing charges against Emperor Charles
of Austria and his wife. Empress Zita.
What these charges refer to is becom-
ing known by degrees. The Aus
trian censorship has so far prevented
full statement reaching the wires in
neutral countries, but the news is fill
tering through of scandal in the inn
perial palace which is likely to lead
to a divorce.
The empress is accused of shield
ing and protecting the Italians. The
disaster on the Piave was the result of
plot engineered by Empress Zita, the
people believe. In Vienna the excite
ment of the people knows no bounds.
When the emperor appears in the
streets he Is received with catcalls
Ind curses. Recently a man ran after
the automobile in which the ruler was
driving, calling out: "Fie upon thee,
Parma ~
Empress Zita is daughter Of the
house Of Parma, one of the royal fam
flies formerly reigning over parts Of
Italy Zita's brothers are accused Of
betraying Austria There is no end Of
These denials, proclaimed even from
ministerial benches In parliament,
show the seriousness of the situation
caused by the reports, rumors and Cos
sip affecting the imperial family. While
some of the reports no doubt are ex-
travagant the Austrian people insist
that where there is smoke one is
bound to find fire.
Divorce Thought Imminent.
The first Swiss newspaper which
prints anything about the scandal in
the Hofburg, aside from the official de-
mails which were cabled to all parts
of the world, is the Thurgauer lei
tung. 1t says:
according to semiofficial and press
reports coming from Vienna, there are
sinister rumOrs and accusations re-
garding the imperial family afloat in
Austria and Hungary. In these ru-
mOrs scenes are mentioned which are
said to have taken place in the i'm
perial palace. These scenes are al
legged to be the forerunners Of a d.
vorce that would sever the marital re-
latiOns of Charles and Zita. The
great mass Of the people hold the inn
perial couple responsible for the de-
feat suffered on the italian front. En-
perOr Charles and his wife, Zita, are
said to have forbidden the use of
sitting gases and flame thrOwers for
the offensive in italy. italian prison.

Double Compartments
For All u. S. Ships

WASHINGTON, April 12--Thc Ship
ping Board to-day authorized the equip
ment of all American vessels with an
bmarine compartment construc-
ton devised by the ship protection
committee. BY doubling the number Of
compartments in both wooden and steel
ships from four to eight the chances Of
sinking from a single torpedo attack
will be reduced so per cent, it is stated.
The new compartment construction,
which has the approval of Admiral
David w. Taylor, chief constructor Of
the Navy Department, will be installed
ny the James G. Stewart Company, of
New York. Equipment of the entire
322 American vessels now in transat-
lantic service will be completed at a
less Of only 5000 tons of cargo space.
The Shipping Board plans to equip
bargcs with machinery for the rapid
installation Of the new compartment
construction. Work will proceed duy
and night while the ships are in port
loading and bunkcring.
While il is admitted that cutting the
exiting compartments Of vessels in
TWO will slow down to some extent
their loading, it is stated the advan-
taGes to be gained in minimizing the
dangers from submarine attack will
more than compensate for this disad-
vantage.

[ Staff COrYeSpOndence

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Chairman
Hurley Of the Shipping Board to day
admitted that shortage of material was
still retarding progress on construction
in shipyards. This is largely due, he
stated, 20 continued transportation diff
ficulties, though the situation has i'm
proved to some degree during the week
On April 2, the chairman Of the Ship
ping Board declared, fifty-seven Ameri-
can shipyards were short of materials
needed for construction work in hand.
Thirty-eight of these yards, including
both wood and STEEL were waiting for
materials. Four other yards reported
the receipt Of materials in bad Sc
quence. The major trouble is being
encountered, he said, by the steel yards.
Admiral Bowles yesterday reported
to the Shipping Board that shortage
CT steel plates was delaying work at
the Hog Island plant in Philadelphia,
where the major steel construction op-
erations Of the Fleet Corporation are
under way.
The shortage of lumber in certain
Southern yards has been considerably
improved during the week

Kaiser Charles's Letter
Was a Trap for France,
Paris Paper Believes

BY Cable 10 tho Courier dcs Etats-r ,nta1
PARIS, April 1.-THE "Temps" comes
to the conclusion that the remarkable
communications from the Emperor of
Hungary to the French gov
eminent in which Frances just claims
to Alsace-Lorrain are acknowledged
must have been sent by agreement be-
tween Berlin and Vienna, perhaps as
an attempt to lead France into u trap.
1t says:
Owing to the lie Of his minister, the
Emperor Of Austria finds himself on
trial. We do not for an instant Dues
ton the sincerity of Charles |. He in
heritcd an atrocous war of which he
did not feel himself guilty In the

derstood that the question Of Alsacc-
Lorraine, AS Mr. Wilson Justly said.

and cannot remain undecided.

what our just claims could be con-
tested when Germany's principal ally
himself has offered to defend them in
Berlin.
But if the Emperor's attitude is ex-
plicable and natural, it is less easy to
explain the policy of his foreign min

"Hc did not even desire this resti-
tuition, without which he would not a
few months later have declared in ef-
feet that 'Strasbourg is in the same
class as Trieste
what, then, was his object in par
ticipating in the negotiations started
by his sovereign? Did he want to try
to divide the Allies by proposing salts
faction to France without according
the same to Italy?
"In that case his mannuvre would
have been foiled quickly. He could see
at once that neither France nor Eng
land would sacrifice her ally.
"Did he, with the consent of Berlin,
advise Charles to write the letters just
revealed? That would be the part of
an agent provocateur, for Czcrnin must
have known that Germany would refuse
to restore AlsaceLorraine. and under
these conditions the sending of the let
tiers would constitute no more than a
mere attempt to decoy. If Czernin
stays in Office we must conclude that
the sending of the imperial letters was
concerted between Vienna and Berlin"

Massachusetts Sur geo n
General Shows Need of
Hospital Beds
Sees No Plan for
Feeding Sick Men
In Letter to Gen. Gorgas
He Charges We Are Not
Alive to Conditions
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, April 12.- Serious
nadequacy of American hospital facili-
ties is charged in a letter by DIR. w. A.
Brooks, acting surgeon general Of Mas
sachusetts, a copy of which has been
forwarded to Surgeon General Gorgas.
A few good-sized shiploads of wounded
returned to this country, declares DR..
Brooks, will completely exhaust the
available supply of hospital beds. DR..
Brooks's letter reads:
with 100000 going into action, and
thousands more to follow, it is beyond
comprehension that this country is not
more alive to the fact that within a
few weeks thousands of wounded may
be coming home to be cared for
II am Informed that the intention of
the Army Medical Corps is to send
home only the wrecks and to take care
OF the less severely wounded on the
other side. No doubt the authorities
in Washington think they see their way
clearly to care for all the wounded in
France, but to man who has spent all
OF mis- life in hospitals the thought oc-
ours that perhaps such plans may have
to be changed, and if they are changed,
then truly the hospitals of New York,
Boston and Baltimore will be proved to
be utterly inadequate to handle the sit
uation.
Hospitals Too Small, He Says
They are not constructed on a large
enough scale. We read that about 80
or 40 per cent is about the normal cas-
ualty list after battle. Thirty per
cent Of 100000 men means 10000
wounded. 1t has been estimated that
IN the entire United States there are
only about 100000 hospital beds. and
these are filled the greater part of the
time. Massachusetts has normal ca
pacity of about 5000 beds In an
emergency about $500 more can be
furnished, and these are scattered all
over the state.
The 5000 beds are practically full
now. There are available, therefore,
only about $500 beds A few good
sized shlploads OF wounded and the
available supply of beds will be ex
hausted. Within twelve months we
may have over million men at the
front. If so, taking the minimum
number of normal casualties, and add
ing 10 per cent for those who are
taken i'll, we will have a minimum
OF three or four hundred thousand men
TO be cared for. France and ENGLAND
are to-day overburdened with their
own sick and wounded Is it within
reason that we can borrow hospital
beds from them?
Feeding of Sick Difficult
another point. The three or four
hundred thousand sick and wounded
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-04-13

have to bs fed. Is 1t feasible plan
to keep our wounded over there with
cargo supplies DO limited? Does it
stretch tho imagination 80 much TO
imagine the difficulties in keeping our
fighting troops we'll supplied and at the
same time feed and care for three OF
four hundred thousand in the hospl-
:als? The more sick and wounded VINO
have to be cared for on the other side
the more difficult becomes the task OF
properly looking out for the fighting
force. Our transports take our troops
over. Are they coming back empty!
"The objection has been raised that
if the wounded are brought home mill
get them back ON the fighting line.
Granted that this may be true q for
one do not think it isl, there should be
other trained men to take their places
if the army is going to be built on the
scale it should be.
Assuming for the moment that only
10 per cent of all the sick and wounded
are brought back, how are the thirty
or forty thousand going to be cared
for? This country is now talking IN
billions, Not many months ago we
were talking in millions, and not long
before that we were talking in hun
dred thousands. Our hospitals are
still in the hundred thousand class
when they should, in order to keep up
with the times, be in the billion. Hos
pitfalls of 1000 beds should be the rule
and not the exception if we are to
deal properly with the problems which
must soon be met. Is America to fail
to look after its sick and wounded ?
1t surely will unless something is done
and done quickly.
Boston Hospitals Full
Cali the talk about putting wounded
in private homes is all rubbish. 1t can
be done, but who is going to look after
them? In the City of Boston to-day
every hospital is filled, and every hos
pital is short of skilled surgeons and
physicians. Where are the doctors
coming from to go from house to
house?
at is only by concentrating the work
that there will possibly be found
enough physicians and surgeons to
care for the wounded properly. There
ought to be under construction to-day
near Boston a hospital with at least
two thousand beds. 1t is not practi-
cal to think that any old building can
be taken and converted into q hospital
Old buildings are not sanitary. Epi-
denies would sweep through them
They are not supplied with proper
plumbing. They are built up in the air

Daniels Denies u. s.
Has Base in. Azores
Navy Has Coal There, He
Says, but No Guns and
No Concession
[Stdf Coryespoudeuce1


WASHINGTON, April 12.-Thc United
States Navy has not established a base
in the Azores, never has had base
there and does not now possess base
there, Secretary Daniels declared to-
day, in denying published story say
ing such a base had been established
by the United States, with the consent
of Portugal, for the protection of me
Atlantic trade routes to Southern Eli
rope.
Mr.. Daniels said:
"The story that the United States
Navy has established naval base IT
the Azores grew out of the fact that
some ships had stopped there several
times on account of storms and to get
coal. We have no concession from the
Portuguese government to establish a
base there.
eve have coal there, but we do not
naval base. We would not call it any
thing more than any place on the
French Coast or anywhere else where
we have coal and our ships go in.
1t is not being armed. We have no
guns there. | am very sorry anything
has been published, because we have
no naval base there and do not in
tend to have one there.
81 was very much surprised to see
the story and conferred with Admiral
Benson and Mr.. Roosevelt about it.
They were both surprised. Mr.. Roose-
welt had made statement that it was
not a naval base"
1t was recalled at the State Depart
ment that some corresp ondence has
taken place with Portugal in regard
to the Azores some time ago, but the
matter had quite gotten out of Of
fcials' minds.
