party headquarters to the place OF
burning by Misses Sue White Of
Nashville, Tenn, and Garriel Harris
of Columbia, S. c., who marched in
the procession of nearly 100 women,
most OF whom carried suffrage BAN
ners.
A fire was lighted in caldron on
the sidewalk and as the two women
held the effigy over the blaze others
made speeches to the crowd. The
police then interviewed and wholesale
arrests followed. Most of the wo-
men protested and continued to har-
angue the spectators until they were
forced into patrol wagons.
In. the procession which left suf-
frage headquarters were only two

The Doctors Army Work.

The government recently issued a
statement to show that OF 7I,1I4
wound and injury cases of soldiers,
tabulated i'm the American expedi-
tionary hospitals, S53 per cent re-
covered and returned to duty. The
number of deaths was little more
than : per cent. OF nearly 10000
cases of disease among soldiers,
more than 90 per cent recovered and
returned to duty. All of which goes
to show that the soldiers have had
the best medical and surgical atten-
tion the country could give them.
The final figures will show much
higher death rate among soldiers
than would have been true had the
army escaped the influenza. both i'll
this country and abroad. In gen
eral way the hospital staffs were
able to combat this disease, but they
were not large enough to treat such
an extraordinary situation.
Some of the leading surgeons and
physicians in America went abroad
to take care of the soldiers and many
received from an Indiana surgeon
told how he had operated standing
up until he was too tired to remain
in that position longer. Then, in
stead of seeking rest. he sat down
and continued his work. He consid-
cred himself fortunate if he got two
or three hours sleep at night. This
was while the fighting was on.
There has been lull now, and the
men are catching up with
their work and sleep-Indianapolis
