Denver.-According to officials of
the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company, there will be no
reduction in rates before Dec. 1, de-
spite the decision of the State Supreme
Court upholding the city's right to reg
ulate rates. The officials make it plain
also that they have only one months
rebates to pay, the lines being under
control of the government the balance
of the period. "The company is in the

SPHACNUM MOSS HEALS WOUNDS

In Scotland and Ireland sphagnum
turies for the same purposes as to-
day, and it was used by army sur
geons in the Napoleonic, the Franco
Prussian and the Russo-Japanese
wars.
In this country there were several
reasons why it did not come into gen.
eral use, the chief of which was be-
cause our army surgeons, accustomed
to the use of absorbent cotton and
still having plenty Of this on hand,
hesitated about using a substitute.
Sphagnum moss is far superior to cot.
ton in many ways, such as it's better
quality, cheapness of manufacture and
its far superior absorbent qualities.
Sphagnum moss is q small low
plant, commonly pale green when wet
and almost white when dry, although
it may be any shade from bright red
and pink to russet green and dark
brown or almost black. The sphag-
mum most adaptable for surgical use
is called sphagnum papillosum, and its
absorbent quality is due to a peculiar
pore structure in it's leaves.
In general sphagnum grows in wet
places and attains it's best develop
ment In cool, humid regions, such as
Newfoundland Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick, Vancouver Island and
western Washington although it is
known to grow as far south as New
Jersey. In bogs the sphagnum grows
most luxuriantly, especially in the
bogs where cranberries may be found.
This surgical moss is pulled up bod
ily, the moisture squeezed out Of 1t
and any coarse plants that may be
present removed, and then washed.
Next the moss Is air dried and then
separated into two or more grades.
In making the susgical dressings of
this material first layer Of cheap
non-absorbent cotton the size of the
dressing is laid down. Over this is
spread q layer of sphagnum and over
the sphagnum is laid double layer
of very thin gauze paper. The whole
is then enclosed in a gauze outer
wrapping. These dressings are then

Suitable After All.

This young Frenchman had learned
his English in France and found that
it was often quite different from that
used in the United States. After he
had been over here little more than
a month his host asked him to substi-
tute in his place at his card club. And
he accepted.
When he entered the clubroom he
tried as usual to make speech which
would be both complimentary and ex-
planatory. Ladies and gentlemen"
he began, II come not as a regular but

The word substitute" would not
come to his memory. He knew that
volunteer was not the suitable one.

Just before one of the great drives
Stierheim escaped from his guard and
was shot at twice. He returned of
his free will, however.
"You see, was afraid / might get
the guard into trouble. I had made
up my mind that I wanted to get
away. The guard had orders to shoot
to kill. had warned him that I was
going to make break, and If he was
a good shot probably wouldn't get
away. He fired at me twice, and each
time he came pretty near getting me.
When decided to turn back I was

could have gone great deal further,
and would probably have been able
to get away entirely without much Diff
ficulty.
"But the army regulations are that
the guard takes the place of the pris-
oner that escapes from him."
"He Deserves the D. S. c."
His fellows all declare that Stier-
helm deserves the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross and all kinds Of honOrs for
his bravery under fire. When they
talk in this mood he registers impa-
tience and irritation, Ms altitude be-
ing: Don't talk about what I've done ;
the ones that did something should
get the honors."
With shells bursting everywhere,

land and ireland.

New Haven.-In an interview with
George e. Nichols, professor Of bot
any in the Sheffield Scientific school
Of Yale university, new facts were
brought out concerning the use Of
moss in surgical dressings during the
war. Prof. Nichols was botanical ad-
wiser for the American Red Cross and
did more than any other individual
to introduce the use of sphagnum moss
into the American medical profession
for surgical purposes.
In Europe this moss has been used
for many years in surgery, but nev-
er before in this country. In Connect
cut alone there are twenty-five differ
ent kinds of sphagnum and on the
North American continent there are
at least forty. OF these forty only
two or three are actually used.
Adopted by Red Cross.
During the war DR.. Nichols made
extensive studies Of various regions
where sphagnum Is found and ex-
planned methods Of collecting and Of
making it into dressings, and in
March, 1913, the American Red Cross
officially adopted this moss. Since that
date our Red Cross mas turned out
more than half million sphagnum
dressings for the Italian army and
something over 10000 a month for the
American war hospital. In Septem-
ber, 1915, the British war Office for
mally accepted sphagnum moss dress
ings and a year later England was
turning out 10000 a month and be-
fore the close of the war almost a
million. The Canadian Red Cross
averaged 100000 of these dressings
per month.

company of reduction in wages of it's
employees following the decision by the
Supreme Court upholding the right of
home rule cities to regulate the rates

Conscientious 0bjector Now Un-

Fellows.
BRAVERY ON BATTLE FRONT
Attended the Wounded and Saved the
Fighting Men While the Battle
Raged-His Fellows Declare
He Deserves the D. S. C.

New York.-Richard Stierheim is un-
der guard at Camp Dix as a conscien-
tious objector who refused to bear
arms ia France.
Yet companions who fought by his
side in the 10Th division VOW that
Stierheim is one of the bravest men
in the entire division.
Stierheim is member Of Company
d, 315th infantry. He lives in Ingo-
mar, small town. some miles north
Of Pittsburgh. He is twenty-seven
years old, stands 6 feet in his stock
ing feet, and is built on massive lines.
''The best boy in the DIVISION" is
in the organization when Stierheim is
mentioned He is the best dugout
builder, the best ammunition bearer,
a Gungha Din, nurse, and numerous
other things. "Dick'' Stierheim has
no warmer friends than his compan
ions at Camp Dix, who now are await
ing discharge from the army.
When seen at Camp Dix by re-
porter for The World, Stierheim was
the perfection Of modesty, reticence,
and other kindred virtues. Only by
most rigorous third degree was it pos
sible to extract his story from him.
Stierheim was drafted while he was
working in the Sparrows Point ship
yard near Baltimore. For the greater
part Of his q years he has followed
his trade Of carpenter. He was sent
to Camp Meade, Maryland, and there
trained for service. He drilled with
the rest of the men and went with
them to the rifle range. At last the
regiment sailed for France.
~ Object to All Wars"
81 drilled with a rifle over there for
two days." Stierheim said, "and then
/ decided to have the courage Of my
convictions and not handle rifle any
have been under guard. think I am
still technically under guard, but I
am not certain.
II do not claim any connection with
any religious creed. I was born and
reared Roman Catholic, but do not
now. I attended services when was
at home because my father and moth
er wanted me to. I have not gone to
church since entering the army.
II do believe in God and believe
I'm the Bible. That book contains ten
commandments, one Of which forbids
the killing Of your fellowman.
"And then a lot of rulers get to-
gether and say TO hell with the Ten
Commandments And they go ahead
and do as they please. I object to all
wars. I object as much to the United
States making war upon Germany as
do to Germany making war upon the
United States. There is no distinction.
"They Thought Was Yellow"
"They thought was yellow when
would not fight, but I think I have
proved to them that was not. But
still l didn't do anything worth talking
about"
Deeds Of most extraordinary hero
ism are accredited to Stierheim during
mis- days in France.
He deserted his company short
time after his arrival in France. He
admitted when brought before court
martial that he had done so.
'Then they caught me. I was head
ed for Spain, and when was court
martialed [ told the officers so. I
pleaded guilty and told them why
had deserted. That was all there was
ITO it. It has not interested me enough

bearing on his sturdy shoulders a big
can of water which he doled out tc
the thirsting men.
He carried munitions up to the
front line and rations, too. In short,
there was not deed which would
help his fellow fighters, with the ex-
ception of firing gun, that Stier-
helm did not perform and always
cheerfully and with superhuman
courage. So say his fellows one and
ALL
"It's this way" said Stierheim.
"There is no man that is a man who
would desert his fellows when they
are in trouble. So of course 1 helped
them. I saw a good many of my
friends dropping around me, dead and
wounded. That made me feel pretty
bad. 1t didn't make me mad at the
fellows we were fighting. I regarded
it as simply a matter of war. The
fellows in the other trenches couldn't
help being there any more than we
could. They were trying to kill our
men just as we were trying to kill
them. No, I didn't feel any more re-
sentiment against them after my fell
lows were shot down than had be-
FORE"
Other Heroic Deeds.
A sergeant of his company was shot
down in No Mans Land. Despite
shell and machine gun fire, Stierheim
walked out alone to where the SER
geant lay, stopped over him for a mo-
ment and then returned.
Hes dead-there's no use," Stier-
helm reported. "But if you want me
to I'll 20 out again and bring him in"
Again, his companions found him
pulling strenuously at a log half
buried in the trench. An ordinary
man is exposed from the chest up
when he stands erect in a trench, and
nary man.
"Hey!" shouted his friends, "get
away from there! You'll be shot!'
NO. he replied, "this log will make
a peach Of a support for the dug
out"
So several of the boys helped him
pull the log out, and because Of
enemy machine gun fire it took them
more than two hours to carry the log
so yards.
"And believe me, boys, that was
some dugout he built" an admirer
Clipped in.
Because Of his skill as a carpenter
Stierheim was the official dugout build
er of the regiment
All Sorts Of Helpful Service.
They tell many stories Of Stier-
helms willingness to serve his fell
lows. He washed shirts for them,
bound their wounds, buried the dead,
and always helped the wounded. He
would unconsciously carry food and
water for men in fearsome positions
where none but the most lion-hearted
would dare creep.
"Did feel frightened? How do you
feel when you're frightened? was
so busy didn't have time to find out
how I felt. There was no place that
was safe within two miles Of the
trenches, and there was no use OF
thinking any more Of danger up In
front than back in the billets-your
chances Of getting hit were Good In
any place"
Many times Stierheim could easily
have escaped, but he did not attempt
it because it would get his guard in
trouble. Often he would 60 through
crowds calling out the name OF the
man guarding him in order that they
could both go back to the guardhouse
