Mr., White related graphically the
bombing Of French hospitals by Ger

seen with his own eyes during his
two months near the battle front.
| He told of one instance where, after
one wing of a 60O0-bed hospital had
been struck by an incendiary bomb
! the doctors and nurses evacuated that
wing and took the patients to the
open air. The airplanes came back,
dropped to within rs feet of the
ground and deliberately turned their
machine guns on the beds in the
open air, killing II patients as well
as a large number of doctors and
nurses. Still again they came back,
this time dropping notes stating that
If the French did not want their hos
pitfalls bombed they had betted move
them farther behind the lines.
Looking behind this inhuman ac.
ton for the motive that prompted it,
Mr.. White saw in the desire of the
Germans for the removal of the
French hospitals to point farther

in England not loudly expressed, but

have entered the war earlier; and the

OF the world are upon America as never
