ATTENDING THE WOUNDED
French Soldiers Head and Shoulders
Above Others.


Above Others.
An English officer is authority for
the statement that the French field
and base hospital service is as near
perfection o, possible.
THE French" he says, "hrye intro
duced the more orderly and systematic
of methods into handling the wound
ed. Their doctors and stretcher bear
crs work close to the lines. Their work
Is extraordinarily rapid and good. The
physicians are selected for quickncss
Of perception. 1t is remarkable how
rapidly they work. Immediately upon
examining n wounded man tag is
placed on the soldier that designates
the character and seriousness Of his
wound. Those who may recover are
taken up and fastened to the hospital
nearest the spot. Whatever is pos
sible to relieve the sufferings OF the
mortally wounded Is done ut once, but
they are not removed until the field is
cleared Of all whose lives can be saved.
The treatment Of the wounded has
been reduced to a science. In cleans
ing and dressing wounds there Is not
only precision but speed that Is
amazing. 1 have been in many hospi-
tails near and back from the front, but
l doubt II there are any to compare
with those the French have furnished.
They seem to have selected the best
surgeons of France for work nearest
the lines so as to give the best possible
treatment to the wounded soldier at
the earliest possible mor1ent.
And the nurses! they are wonder
full.
THE percentage of recoveries Is eX-
traordinarily high. 1t wasn't so In the
beginning, but II Is now. The Ameri-
cans have been Of very great aid to
the French. 1 doubt whether you
know how many American surgeons
and nurses have been serving In
France, not alone since you came in
to the war, but since the war began.
Another thing that has helped Is the
immense stores Of medical supplies
YOU have sent over and are sending
over.
I'VE hear a lot about German eff
cheney. 1t is over emphasized. In the
conservation OF life in this war the
Germans have some things to learn
from the French. So have We. I be-
lieve the French system will be adopt
ed by the British.
What percentage Of the wounded
are saved? I have not seen any Of
fetal reports, but ! have been told that
the French approximate 80. In the
first year Of the war, am told, 1t
was below 10. Isn't that a magni-
ficient achievement for the medical
men Of France ?"-Commerce and FL
nance.

IL regret that ! have but two sons
to offer my country" This sentiment
was expressed by Mrs. J. A. Wells. Of
Bryn Athyn. Pa. on receipt Of news
that her son Leroy had been killed in
the battle Of Picardy. and that her
other son had left for France. II had
looked forward to the day when Leroy
would return from France victorious.
but now that he has been killed In his
countrys service I am quite satisfied
that his life could not have been de-
dicated to a greater cause. Ny an
swer is to give my other son to the
same great cause"

Anu the other day when tnlneS looked
dark on the front. he wired his offer
again to General Crowder. who replied
thanking him and saying that he would
keep him in mind.
A Liberty Bond Buyer.
He had done and would continue 70
do all he could. He did not have mudh
money but he had bought bonds. Al
the outset he had borrowed thou
sand dollars to buy Liberty bonds, and
the other day he had won n suit which
gave him a fee OF $500. Every cent
OF this went for Liberty bonds and Is
still in Liberty bonds.
! III any man says that / have ever
said or written disloyal word he
there being ladies present-he Is p
slanderer. Where are my slanderers:
are they fighting for their country?
They are sitting behind desks. study
ing up what they can say against me-
and. where they can, emptying bottle
to give them courage to write 1t. They
say they are over age. Ny friends. 2
man never gets too old to fight for
his country"
He gave q brief resume and COM
parison Of his administration as gov
ernor and the present administration,
He said the present governor was
lauded as a great law enforcer, but
during the present administration
more murders had been committed
than there were during the two pre-
vious administrations; more white
women had been assaulted than during
all administrations since 1880. He
pointed out that there was hardly
day that one could not read of crime
being committed in the state. He also
referred to the fact that the stat"
taxes were now over 50 per cent higher
than when he was governor.
Speaking of the vauntcd influence
OF some he asked: What did you
think of this great influence when the
shipyard was lost TO Charleston the
other day." The shipyard was lost
he said, because Charleston had no
one in the senate TO look after ii.
The New Navy Yard.
He denied that the influence OF
Senator Tillman put the navy yard in
Charleston, stating that it was through
the recommendations OF two different
committees, which at different times
investigated the facilities on the ports
of the Atlantic.
He declared that what CharleSton
now has here is not getting the at
tention 1t should have, and advocated
better pay for the men at the navy
yard "Why are other navy yards
getting more for wages than the
Charleston yard is gctting?" he asked.
"It Is because OF lack OF representa-
ton in the United States senate. Ex-
Governor Swanson, of Virginia, now a
senator, was seeing to it that Norfolk
was taken care Of, and Norfolk Is get
ting what Charleston should have in
face of the fact that Norfolk was with
but recommendation by the invcsti-
eating committees. while Charleston
MAS declared to be the only place suit
Ila for navy Yard.-He-d did moi
blame Senator Swanson. he said. but
South Carolina needed a representa-
tive who was competent to look after
the interests of the navy yard here.
Mr.. Blcasc closed by consratulating
the people OF Charleston for furnish :,
ing the state with a iirst-class news1
paper.

Colonel Winston Spencer Churchill,
minister Of munitions, told the British
house of commons last week that a.
though England had lost great quanti-
ties of munitions and between four
and five thousand machine guns to the
Germans in the great icardy-Flanders
battle, all these losses had been made
good by increased production, more
than twice as many guns being ready
for the Allies as have been lost. He
also said that more airplanes were be-
ing turned out In one week now than
were produced during the whole OF
1914. Women are producing nine
tenths of the shells. Concluding the
munitions minister said: THE first
limiting factor Of artillery will be
gunners. not munitions"

winds Of the world, sent here and
there to fill up gaps. When the his
tory of this war is written you will
read Of such and such a brigade, in

REMEMBERED
FORGOTTEN 81
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

1.-THE heart is hard in nature and unfit
For human fellowship, as being void
OF sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both, that is not
pleased
With sight Of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning Of the New Year
one should brush the dust Off his list
Of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out Of ones everyday
life without q very good reason for
1t. Making new acquaintances Is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintances until they BIOS
som into friends, cemented by loyalty
and constancy, is different problem.
A man or woman may count ac-
quaintances by the score-people who
invite them to their homes to dine, to
theater party, or merrymaking-yet
they are still acquaintances only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand 1t.
Many one has counted up hundred
so-called friends today. But If adver-
sity assails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the many one
could turn to for solace and cheer.
Not one pair Of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, If one Is sud-
denly bereft of shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acqualntances
find 1t easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and Its hallowed
memories.
A weman will remember every detail

Robert Adams visited a carpenter
shop. the town paint store and other
places early the next morning. He
went to the hardware store and ex-
amined the latest in house trimmings.
He spent two hours going over wall
paper stock. He asked each artisan he
consulted one uniform question: "Can
you get the work all finished by New
Years eve"
He amazed the village tailor by or
dering his first suit in five years. He
was profitable customer for the bar
ber, who not only worked in a shave
and hair trim, but a shampoo and
half a dozen special unguents.
The renovated husband Of Mary Ad-
ans dallied long at the mirror ere he
went out and took Dobbin out Of the
stable. The train was due at ten
o'clock, but it was New Years eve,
travel was heavy and all trains de-
layed, and it was well on toward mid
night when he craned his neck from
the sleigh and eagerly watched the
passengers alight.
An utterance Of disappointment
escaped his lips as passenger after
passenger left the platform. Then he
stared fixedly at q feminine form ar
rayed in a neat velvet hat and pretty
plush coat. She had turned her face
toward the station light.
Mary" he cried, but unbelievingly,
as he viewed her strange attire.
"Oh, Robertw she replied, and has
tened eagerly toward him, but halt
ed with a quick shock. Old Dobbin
looked ten years younger than when
she had last seen him. The sleigh glis-
tened like a newly FURNISHED chariot.
And Robert she feasted her eyes on
this apparent subject Of the fountain
of youth.
Ell didn't know you," she STAN
mered.
"Nor I you," said Robert-"all dolled
up in new togs."
"Oh, Uncle Ephraim made sister and
me a famous Christmas present and
insisted on seeing it spent on our own
selves" explained Mary.
"I've invested trifle in the same
line myself" vaunted Robert, with a
spice of pride. "Get in, Mary. Yes,
new robes. Don't think me reckless
I did it all for you"
Again-"Oh, Robert!" in rapt tones,
as they came in sight Of home, loom
ing up like a mansion in q new robe
of white trimmed with dark green.
"Wait till you see the rooms-new pa
pered from top to bottom" and Mary
was in q daze as she was ushered
into the house. Then she put her arms
around his neck and kissed him.
"What does this wonderful magic
mean?" she luttered.
vt means-hark there 60 the bells,
Ginning out the old year. 1t means
Happy New Year" and he placed bis
arm about her waist-"the newest
New Year of our lives, for we are 70
ing to begin to enjoy the best the world
can give all over again"
