A Woman's Devotion.

Miss Katherine Burke has arrived
in America Bringing news of the
tragic death Of DR.. Elsie Ingles, head
of the Scottish hospitals.
"The story of DR. Ingles will 90
down in history as the highwater
mark OF Scottish woman's devotion
to her cause" said Miss Burke. 'Un-
aided she came from the Rumanian
front bringing with her 5000 Serbian
soldiers, experimenting their trans
porting, their nursing and their COM
fort over the several miles travelled.
They marched through Russia, and
rather than trust their disposition to
the heads OF the bolsheviki, she
marched them up through Finland
whence they made their way to Eng
land, arriving on Nov. 20.
Then, exhausted by the terrible
ordeal that she had undergone, DR..
lnRles fell i'll, and died from the ef-
feots Of her labors. The Serbians,
now in splendid shape, are training
and will soon 90 to the front, having
marched around the central empires. 4"
