TO AID WOUNDED MORE
Committee to Visit Hospitals All
Over U. S. in Attempt to
Improve Service.

An official committee from National
Red Cross headquarters is to start
Tuesday on a tour of inspection for
the purpose of improving Red Cross
service wherever possible in the forty
three general hospitals where wound
ed soldiers, sailors and marines are

pared to handle his type of case All

TELLS HOW MAI. WARD
RECEIVED FATAL WOUND
Chaplain Vickers Writes Mother of
Washington Officer, Giving Par
ticulars Of Death.

How Washington soldier, Maj. Ly-
man C. Ward, died Of wounds received
in action on November 9 Is related
in a letter received by his mother,
Mrs. Ellen Madison Ward of this city,
from Chaplain T. G. vickers Of the
s24th Infantry. Chaplain vickers
was with Maj. Ward throughout the
day and until the end came.
Maj. Ward had been promoted just
a few days previously and had taken
command of the Sd Battalion the first
Of the week." said Chaplin vickers. II
was assigned to It on Thursday from
regimental headquarters. where had
known him for two weeks. He and I
were near the same age (twenty-etght
years) and found much in common
during the short time I knew him
SO much so that the day before we
were ordered into action we were to-
gether several times and as we await
ed supper he told me of his work in
the University of Wisconsin 7. NJ. c.
A. In every way he impressed me as
a fine example of the cIeanest type of
young manhood and l was looking
forward to q fine fellowship and CO.
operation in my association and work
with, him.
His Courage in Action.
EARLY next morning we went into
action. His GOODNESS was remarkable
and his courage superb. Without a
vestige of fear or shrinkage he led his
troops into the battle through barbed
wire, woods, underbrush, old trenches
and mud under a harassing artillery
barrage from the guns Of the enemy.
1t was wonderful to be with him. On
we went driving the enemy from his
machine-gun positions as fast as his
legs could carry him. Our advance
had penetrated the woods to within a
hundred yards OF the strongest de-
lenses the enemy had thrown up in
a few minutes when suddenly a hail
Of machine gun bullets broke loose
upon us. from where we could not tell
All of us dropped close to the ground.
but not until several had been hit.
Maj. Ward moved little from where
an old trench to receive first aid.
Lieut.. r. c. Moorhead and Private
Morse brought him to that point, and
we improvised litters and moved them
all to safety back through the woods.
Never once did that clean courage
quail. When we reached the doctors
and they saw that nothing could be
done except to give him relief from
pain I told him the situation. His
reply was That's all right l had at
tended personally to bring him out
and frequently he held tight to my
hand as / walked by the litter.
"Grip Of Strong Will"
''It was the grip Of strong will
fighting a great fight and conquering.
shall never forget it. The end came
as I supported his head in my hands.
His was the death of a brave soldier.
a fearless leader and a courageous
hero.
I'VE laid the body tenderly to rest
in q little cemetery established for
our dead in an orchard near Haudio-
mont IAN kilometers (about nine or
ten miles) southeast of Verdun on the
road to Metz. His grave is No. l.
The graves registration service has
made q map of the location and the
division historical section took photo
graphs OF the spot. With a simple
service we said 'Good-by, comrade.
and left him there at rest"

Sees Success for Mr.. Davis.

LONDON, January lin comment
ing upon the appearance of John w.
Davis, the new American ambassador,
at the luncheon given by the Pilgrims
yesterday, the Daily Telegraph says:
Mr.. Davis laid. in accordance with
presidents, the foundations of a great
personal success. The American am
bassador. whoever he may be at the
moment, Is always one Of the best
speakers In England. and Mr.. Davis
is clearly no exception to the rule.
1t is no light honor to be told that
spring the United States to the colos-
sal effort which placed that nation. In
eighteen months, among the decisive
factors in the war fought on European
soil.
''Those two million men represent a
triumph over the impossible that will
stand in history. We believe it will
rank higher than any other recorded
feat OF Its kind.
whatever may come during Mr.
Davis sojourn here as ambassador,
the United States will assuredly wit
ness such development Of amfty be-
tween the two peoples. bound by the
ship in arms, as Will go beyond the
expectations of even the flrmest be-
lever in Anglo-American friendship"

The Times, in commenting on the
new ambassadors speech. says that
his tribute to the British war effort
is ''prized beyond words"
I'VE share Mr.. Davis hope and
confidence In the future" it says
"Mr. Davis insists that the justice
we demand be undivided by senti-
mentality or passion, and that It be
stern, looking to a long future as
well as the past and present. That
was the policy of our most able
statesmen at the close of our last
great struggle for the liberties of
the world, and toward the fulfillment
of this policy today 1t will be our
Joy and pride to walk hand in hand

~ Pichon Says.
BIOL SHEVIsTS OBSTACLE

+. PARIS, January II. The British
government recently submitted to
France a proposition involving an eff
fort to obtain truce in Russia which.
ffo successful, would have led to the
admission of delegates of the Russian
Soviet government to the peace con-
ference, according to statement made
today by Stephen Pichon, the French
foreign minister.
The foreign minister declares in his
statement the opposition of the French,
government to any plan which would
give the present bolshevik regime IN
-1ussia any recognition whatever. The
criminal regime of the boisheviki, he
insists, does not entitie them to rec
France was resolved to continue treat
ing the soviet organization rs AN
enemy.
Pichon's Statement.
The statement, which is over the
Signature of the foreign minister, reads
rs follows:
ION January 5, 1919. the British en-
bassy sent me a British propoSlti On,
which also was sent to Rome, Wash
fngton and Toxic, suggesting the send
ing of message to the government of
the SovietS at Moscow. to the govern
ments of Gen. kolchak at Omsk, Gen.
penikine at Ekaterinodar and Nicholas
Tschaikowsky at ArchangeI. and also
10 all the other governments consti-
futed by the different Russian ma
tiona1ities
This message would invite all these
governments, and all Russian par
ties, completely to cease hostilities,
violence and reprisals and establish
peace both among each other and with
the neighboring states. This truce
would be requested for the duration of
the peace conference, one of the ends
'of which is to establish peace in Rus
STA and the neighboring countries and
bring the desired succor to the suffer
ing populations.
In case the various Russian govern
ments, including that of the soviets,
should comply with this invitation.
they would be permitted to send dele
gates to the peace conference.
while rendering full homage to the
generous spirit of universal recon-
lciliation with which the British gov
lernment was inspired in making this
proposition, the French government is
unable to give its approval to such a
suggestion. which fails to take into
account the principles which have not
ceased to dominate its policy and that
OF the powers in Russia.
