CONVALESCENT HOME
FOR GASSED men
Camp Travis Salvation Army Hut
Becomes Rest Billet

The Salvation Amy recreation hut
at Camp Travis, San Antonio, has
leen converted into a cOnvalescent
home for gassed soldiers. The need
for some provision for these boys
has come to the attention of Saliva
tion Army officials through the Red
Shield Club rooms which the Army
maintains in many cities for dis
charged men.
Nov that these boys are going
back into their former occupations,
the full effects of gas poisoning are
just beginning to be understood
Lieut.. Col. George Wood said recent.
ly. Col. Wood is in charge of Saliva
ton Army activities in the South
west.
MANY find that they are physical
ly unable to keep up their work.
Some of them who have tried to con.
tinue working beyond their strength,
have already developed tuberculosis
the disease which threatens all Of
them because Of the weakened con.
dition of their lungs. 1t is impera.
tive that they receive care before
they contract this disease"
DR.. Theodore Y. Hull, one of the
best known heart and lung special
lists in the country, has accepted the
post of chief of staff for the Home.
Under his direction the gassed con-
valescents will be given the best Of
care and attention.
"Such gassed men," DR.. Hull said,
need the same kind Of treatment
that is given to consumrtives in the
early or even second stage of tuber-
culOsis, but under no circumstances
should they be sent to an institution
for, consumptives. They need rest,
good food, freedom from financial
care, some light work and facilities
for recreation and entertainment
which will not tax their strength.
An institution planned, built and op.
Grated along the same line as the
better institutions for the care of in
cipient tuberculosis cases would be
ideal for their treatment"
All discharged men who wish to
take advantage of this home are re-,
quested to send in their applications
to Lieut.. Col. Geo. Wood, 1904 Com.
merce St., Dallas, Texas
1--WE consider San Antonio has an
Ideal climate for the treatment of
these cases." Col Wood said. "The
elevation is not too high and the men
will be near a large city to which
they can 90 from time to time for
diversion.
IF the Salvation Army finds that
more soldiers need the treatment
than can be accommodated in the
Camp Travis hu', it is planned to
provide an institution for this pur.
pose on the outskirts of San Ante.
MO. This institution will be built on
the cottage pan, each cottage large
enough for two or three cases. A
central administration building will
contain the kitchens, dining rooms,
ETC."

RUMAN|ANS WILL QUIT BUDAPEST UNDER PRESSURE
Big Hungarian Army of
 Six Divisions Planned to Keep Order After Departure
By Associated Press

Berlin, August 1u.-Ihe retirement rom
 Budapest of the Rumanian army, owing
 to pressure from the entente, is probable,
 but it will be sullen withdrawal, bod
 ing no good for the future, according
 to despatches from the Hungarian capi-
 tol.
 A big national Hungarian army is plan
 ned to keep order after the Rumanians
 leave. The army will consist of six divi-
 sions, composed of the already existing Szegedian regiments and volunteers. The Rumanians are known to be dis gruntled and angry at the HungarianS, the Austrians and the entente but theJ are not alone in this state of mind, for sharp differences of opinion already are manifesting themselves among the Hun garians, AuStrianS and representatives of the entente. Even the Czechs in far off Prague are baking, and the Hungar- ians are frankly worried, believing that a return of a monarchy is inevitable. The Tageblatt's special correspondent in Budapest describes the Hungarian generals as suddenly returning to their ! gold-crusted, colorfufl uniforms and says the old miitarism is springing up arounc | the paladin On the contrary, Archduke Joseph's advist., Count Stefan Bethlin I in an interview, says the correspondent | has declared again that the new govern ment will be composed of all classes i workmen, bourgeoisie and agriculturists
 and that the futurue cabinet will restore l order. The correspondent adds that 1 Count Bethlin still fails to answer al l rectly the question whether there VII 1 be monarchy, preferring to pass lhe
 responsibility to the new government l Bethlin, during the interview, re- 1 ferred to historic Hungarian charac l ter" as proof that Hungary will no- l cannot and must not go under 1 Saturated with the spirit or tne new era and filled with democratic !, spirit," he continued, Hungary will attempt to lift herself from the ground | and enter the ranks of productive peo' ] ples."
 The provisional premier. Stepher 1 Friedrich. has issued proclamation to the Budapest population, urging + not to use the developments of tae 1 situation for racial prosecutions. Ncne l of the newspapers in Budapest IS pup l fishing, owing to a paper shortage. 1 The, workmen in various Budapest factories have held 8 meeting aac voted to return to work at less pay i than was guaranteed them by ths 1 soviet government.
 Two hundred students. armed wltf

 He immediately sent an ultimatun to the Rumanians, declaring they
 would be held responsible if the trou

PLUMB PLAN MUST BE FOUGHT l
By Assscrated Press

Cincinnati. August 10.-'It is rad ically socialistic and ought to be fought" William Howard Taft said of the Plumb plan for the administrator of the railroads, in statement to- night.
 q am almost certain the republicans will oppose the Plumb plan and hope the democrats do, too. We should not let the soviet system get in even a toe-hold in America he said. "l believe in close supervision of the rai- roads of the country, but such super . vision as we have had has been too severe We should give the railroads chance, give them adequate reye- nues by proper rates so they can at- tract the necessary capital for necss- sray maintenance and improvements
 We have not allowed the rates to go up as they should"
 Referring to the strieks of railway shopmen throughout the country and the demands of other railroad unions for increased wages. MT. Taft said: While I have not gone into the suo- 1 feet with the thoroughness to warrap [ final judgment, I will say that from wha. l do know it seems to me that 1 the men are requesting a greater in- crease than the percentage of increase 1 in the cost of living warrants. Thus. ] it appears they are asking more than
 they are entitled to receive.
