/ 10000 American Troops Now
Overseas.

Striking proof that the German
power is fast crumbing came Satur,,
day in the announcement by General
March, chief Of staff, that the news
fro mall battle fronts was "contlnu-
ously good" and that 100000 Amerl,
can troops have now been embarked
for overseas service.
Six months ago Saturday the enemy
flung his full military power against
the British lines in Picardy In the
drive that was to end the war. 10,
day he is fighting desperately to hold
the tottering Hindenburg line, the de-
fensive system from which he struck
that blow and back into which ne mas
been hurled. British, French !, anc an;
American armies have broken dell
nitely the German offensive power II
official opinion at Washington. AL
ready the American forces in France
are more than half as strong as tn'
whole German army and the TIDE O
American fighting men toward France
is cotinuing at an even pace.

SCHOOL GRADES DIVIDED.

Vlded Into Two Sections, Beginning
Tomorrow-Tuition Rates Charged
For Pupils Living Outside the
Town.
Beginning tomorrow, the first and
third grades at the graded school will
be taught in two sections. Pupils
placed in the first section of the 1st
and 3rd grades will go at 8:45 a. m.
and be dismissed at noon; those in
the second sections of these grades
will go at 1915 p. m. and 1st grade
pupils will be dismissed at $3.50, third
grade pupils at H. Pupils Of the
second grade will go at 8:45 and will
be dismissed at 1870. A few second
grade pupils will be placed in the
first section of the 3rd grade.
These steps are made necessary
by reason 6f the crowded condlJiof
of these grades.
! At a meeting of Supt. w. H. Gale
and the school trustees Thursday eve
ming the board ordered that tuition
for outside pupils in the gramma7
grades be advanced from 81 to $2.5l

grades the tuition be placed at s.
the month instead Of the forme
. scale ranging from So in the 9Th t
$3.50 in the 18th. Tuition must b
paid in advance. This order was mad
because it has been found that thes
rates merely cover the cost. Rate

LUMBERTON, N. c.
Arizona republican., 1918-05-30

thoroughly modern fireproof building con- structed with reinforced concrete frame and hol- low tile filler walls to floors. This hollow tile has numerous advantages as building material. It is very light and therefore economical for the supporting frame of the building. By reason of it's cellular construction it is highly efficient as an insulator against heat, cold and sound.
 In the basement of this building is new cen tral heating plant for the whole institution This replaces an old hot water system formerly To- cated in the main building and which. had be- come inadequate.
 Here also is located combination water heat CT and garbage incinerator which furnishes all the hot water used in the various buildings and consumes the garbage, old dressings and other waste.
 This basement also has ample fuel rooms and dumb waiter is conveniently located for taking fuel up to the kitchen above and bringing down the garbage
 Modern Culinary Devices
 On the first floor is located commodous kitchen, pantry and tray rooms Gone used eX- clusivey for tubercular patients), where all the dishes are washed and stored. A large screened porch adjoining the kitchen provides additional space for preparing vegetables and doing other kitchen work. All these quarters are equipped in the manner of modern hotel, with large coal and gas ranges pot and dish sinks, electric dish washer, electric vegetable peeler, etc.
 On this floor are also located three dining rooms; one for visitors, one for the sisters and one for the kitchen and other help.
 Sisters Sleeping Apartments
 The second floor of this building contains twelve bed rooms for the sisters, several bath rooms, large screened sleeping porch and large room intended originally for the sisters sitting and sewing room but temporarily being used as a chapel.
 Planned for After Fire
 The third floor of this building referred to above as the second building operation, was not planned for until after the fire, when the build ing committee decided it would make an ideal

came forward and promised Mother Paul that they would take the responsibility from her shoulders and that they would undertake through public subscription, not only to recon struct the burned building, but also to provide the further accommodations necessary to meet the rapidly growing demands
 Prominent Men Assist
 In furtherance of this promise series of meetings were held by members of the Marcopa Medical society and other public spirited citi- zens and resulted in the appointment of the fol- lowing committee which had charge of the build ing operations:
 pr. E. Payne Palmer Dr. R. w. Craig, J. c. Adams, T. W. McDevitt, R. B. Moore, Simon Oberfelder, J. T. Whitney, Frank De Sousa and Rev. Bertrand R. Cocks.
 This committee, acting in consultation with Architect l.. M. Fitzhugh at once began study ing the problem of providing new and greater St. Joseph's hospital. To their efforts is large ly due the modern, well equipped institution as it stands today.
 Into Four Operations
 The building program resolved itself into four distinct operations
 First-The completion of the building which was being built under contract at the time of the fire.
 Second The addition of third story to this building.
 Third-The reconstruction of the main build ing.
 Fourth-The construction of new fireproof wing to the east of the main building for the housing of modern and complete operating de- partment.
 Work on the first three operations is now com pleted. The drawings for the fourth have been made, but construction of tE:s building will probably not be commenced until after the war as the present operating facilities are proving adequate tor present needs.
 Description of Buildings
 The buildings will be described in the order named

Arizona republican., 1918-05-30


 MM/ 1917, fire destroyed the entire roof " " and badly damaged the remainder
 of the main building of St. Joseph's hospital so as to make it uninhabtable, the Sis ters of Mercy in charge were in despair. Some few months previously they had undertaken the construction of a new, fireproof building, de- signed to provide new and more commodious culinary and service facilities and also dormitor lies for the Sisters, thus releasing the space formerly used for these purposes in the main building for patients rooms.
 This new building had taxed the resources of the Sisters to the limit and they saw no way in which to secure the funds necessary to make good the ravages of the fire. During the pre- ceding summer they had spent large amount of money in repainting the interior of the build ing and stocking up with large quantities of sup plies ready for the fall and winter business. These stores together with furniture and equipment were destroyed to a value of several times the amount of the insurance on them.
 Insurance Inadequate
 The insurance on the building itself was also entirely inadequate to rebuild for the reason that the insurance is only for the actual value, depreciation considered, of the building de- strOyed.
 These buildings being old, were of course, much depreciated in value and the insurance re- ceived would not be nearly sufficient to recon struct new. Furthermore, modern building re- quirements of the city ordinances necessitated a much better class of construction than that used in the original buildings so that it would not be possible to replace the buildings in their origin al construction.
 Capacity Previously Taxed
 The previous year had taxed the capacity of this institution to the limit, with the coming year promising still greater demands and with the capacity reduced at least two-thirds by the fire In this crisis, some of the doctor of the city, realizing better than anyone else the necessity for hospital accommodations and the inability of the Sisters to provide them in this emergency.

location for tubercular ward and so it is It is designed on the sanitorium idea with one large ward entirely open and yet arranged so that it may be easily closed up in case of storm.
 This ward occupies all one side of the floor while across the hall from it are located diet kitchen utility room examination room, dress ing and toilet and bath rooms for men and wo- men and two private rooms with bath.
 This floor opens out onto the large flat roof of the main building and it is the intention to use this latter as roof garden where the tubercu- lar patients may be taken to get the full benefit of the winter sun.

Passage Connects Buildings

This building is connected with the main building hy passage and in this passage are located large electric passenger elevator, run ming from basement to third story and an cleo tric dumb waiter for carrying trays to all floors
 The main building is the result of six different building operations starting some years ago with twelve room building and growing as the demands necessitated and the resources of the Sisters permitted, until today it is T-shaped building, 100 feet long on the vertical leg (the south wing) and 190 feet long across the top (the east and west wings) and containing fifty-five private rooms and wards accommodating thirty natientS

Architects Make Estimate

After the fire it was found that the exterior brick walls were practically undamaged as also were considerable portion of the interior floors and partitions. The architects estimated the value of the work remaining in good condition after the fire as about $30,000
 This was considerably far too great an asset to be sacrificed and the architects were there fore instructed to retain the work remaining in good condition and to reconstruct the buildings to the greatest advantage possible under these conditions

Provides Accommodations

The use of so large part of the old buildings also had the great advantage of providing much needed accommodations several months sooner

Orders Man Off

0. l.. Agnew, who formerly

liyed at Brownsville for a year or
more, was ordered to leave that
town few days ago. He was
charged with making obscene ref

his ignorance was perhaps more
the cause of his action than any
thing else and was acquitted with
the injunction to leave town. He
