counting. The system tho laborious,
is very effective. One officer who
left his command could account for
everything excepting seven pounds of
salts and it took much correspondence

item out.

Medical Specialists Set to Work as
Bookkeepers

Capt. Archibald D. MCDANIEL was
the speaker at the noon day luncheon
Of the Minot Rotary club Monday at
the Leland Hotel. Capt. MCDANIEL
spoke for nearly, half an hour, giving
some very interesting experiences per-
tanning to his work at Camp Riley,
where he spent several months train
ing for overseas service.
There were $4,000 medical men in
the United States army at the close
of hostilities, he said, and 1870 Of
the work done by them could just as
we'll have been done by clerks. Re.
nowned specialists could be found do
ing purely clerical work.
! ~ thot before entering the army
that medical ability would account for
good deal, but learned that owing
to the sytem it does not. I am not
criticising the system particularly,
only under some other plans, the work
actually done by the medical men in
the army. would have been done by a
fifth of the number who were in the
service"
In the army, he says, the slightly
wounded are always cared for first.
The idea isIto keep as many electives
up ready for the front line trenches.
For every hundred casualties, there is
an average Of twenty killed. Out of
the remaining eighty, there is an aver
age of forty slightly wounded, while
eight are seriously wounded.
He spoke Of the process of sending
the wounded men back thru the vari-
Gus stages until they arrive at the
evacuation hospital. One is never
listed as being wounded, unless he
happens to be a case serious enough
to need attention at an evacuation
hospital.
Speaking of the work Of the Red
Cross in The battle line, he said that
his idea had been entirely changed.
The Red Cross workers never get close
to the battle line. They are always
back as far as the evacuation hos
pital, and not up near the front Line
trench.
He tells Of the splendid work done
by the medical men, especially with
incubation against tetanus. Early
in the war, hundreds Of thousands
died from this disase. The soil OF
Flanders was infected with the germs,
which would get in their deadly work
thru the very slightest wounds. Fin
ally, soldiers with ailments as slight
as frosted feet were inoculated with
the result that in the last year or two
Of the fighting there was hardly a
case Of tetanus-

Then appropriate remarks were
made by Rev. F. w. Christ, who d.
rected the distribution of $50 filled
stockings, 100 sacks Of candy and
nuts, 100 presents Of various kinds,
400 apples and $50 pop corn balls.
These with presents that friends gave
one another made this a memorable
occasion.
The church had been beautifully
decorated by Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Jacob
son and Mrs. Werner, assisted by Joe
jacobson and F. w. Christ.
Mrs. Groshans and Mrs. Harthouse
had rendered valuable help in making
stockings and filling same and the
committee on packing had done good
work at the home Of Mrs. Groshass,
the night previous.
The young ladies who did the col
lecting Of over $4,000 to pay the bills
deserve much credit and the commit
tee, headed by Mr.. Madison, that spen.
it so well, should be publicly thanked.
The spirit of Christmas surely was
manifest and the town filled with good
cheer.

VIII SON MOST UNPROTECTED

Secret Service Men and People of Country
May Heave Sigh of Relief Upon Chief
Executives Return

Paris, Jan. H-when President
Wilson returns TO the United States
the American people may heaye
sigh of relief. for never before in
history has the Chief Executive Of
the nation been so unprotected as
the President on his European trip.
Save in rare instances when the
White House Secret Service men have
been able to give the Presidents well
fare the immediate attention that Is
the custom at home, he has been as
unguarded as the average tourist see
ing Europe. The Secret Service men
have attempted to get in close touch
with him at all times, but European
parade arrangements and European
crowds have few thoughts 70 waste
on Secret Service men. Everybody
wanted TO see the President, and ap-
parently everyone has seen him
An example is given by the ar
rangements in vogue when the
President arrived in Paris. The
White House corps visited the pre-
feet Of police TO inquire as to the
details OF the reception and also to
see that their automobile or car
riage would be the second in the
procession. The prefect OF police.

ner as to affect the labor situa-
tiOn.
In the number of the nonmilitary
employees are the picturesque yeo-
women of the navy and the Marine
Corps. Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels said yesterday that it was not
true as reported that the yeOwomen
were to be let out forthwith. 1t
is understood that a great many
OF the employees including the yeo-
women will have until July ! to
make their arrangements for civil
employment.
Secretary Daniels said that he had
talked with a great many of those
who will be obliged to enter civil
life again and that he had advised
them to qualify for Civil Service
examinations. As in the army so
in the navy there will be constant
demand for such men and women
who can do work of value TO the
government.
