American Red Cross Nurse Writes
PjtiabIe Story Of Conditions She
Personally observed-Laek
Hospital Facilities.

Tokyo.-In letter from Omsk, 81
IBERIA. Miss Charlotte Boardman Rog-
ers, of New York city, who was on
the western front when the KOlchak
armies recently evacuated several cit
les, writes pitiable story of the hor'
rors of typhus which she personally
observed as a nurse of the American
Red Cross. She says:
II have spent twenty-fOur hours IN
hell. Our train was stalled at the rail-
way station at Petropavlovsk, Far
Western Siberia, and somewhere to
the west of US the Red armies were
coming on.
ITO the right Of us, left of us, rear
Of US, were typhus fever trains, box
cars, passenger cars, twenty-five, thir-
ty, even thirty-five cars to train
and all loaded with men from the
front and from the evacuated hos.
pitals with thousands of patients dy-
ing of the dread disease.
mo nurse waited on them, no doc
tors administered medicines to stimu'
late the action of their weakened
hearts. They lay on rough board
shelves erected around the sides and
ends Of the cars, or on the floor where
even cattlemen would have placed
straw If animals were to be carried
No sanitary conveniences were sup
piled; the patients clothes were stain
ed with filth and blood; their feet
caked with mud and manure; their
bodies alive with little gray typhus
nce-the plague Of Serbia.
Cheek bones protruded through
their yellow skin, eyes sunken into
their sockets, hands like birds claws
stretched out with cups for water
they lay all day in the sweltering heat
1--WE tried to look away, but all day
long we heard them moan or call for
their sanitary attendants.
Need Of Hospitals.
"Our trip from Omsk to the extreme
front and back again at time when
the Siberian government armies were
falling back before the Reds has re-
vealed in all its pitifulness the tre.
mendous need of Russian hospitals
sanitary trains and dressing stationl
K for every kind Of supplies.
~ ALTHOUGH the American Red Cro1l
has been sending train after train Il
Western Siberia, so vast Is the need
that many more trains are necessary
70 meet even the most primal neces
stiles. Yet those of US who have seer
the immediate improvement In hos
pitfalls and sanitary trains where Amer
lean Red Cross supplies have come
in are immensely encouraged, know
ing that every pound Of absorbent cot
ton, every ounce of drugs. every yard
of gauze can be used in Western Sibe
ria to save life"

AIR ROUTES ARE CROWDED
Passenger Plane Ticket Offices in
Great Britain Are Besieged
by Patrons.

London.-That passengers are eager
ly awaiting the establishment of air
plane routes to distant points in the
British empire is shown by the re-
quests for tickets received by a COM
pany which operates an airplane line
from Folkstone to Paris.
On the day when the service opened,
the Office Of the company was besieged
by inquiries seeking bookings for all
parts of the world. One wanted to
make trip to Venice and another de-
manded ticket to Cairo.
Persons with relatives or interests
in India have made numerous in.
quiries to learn how soon it will be
possible for them to 60 there by air
plane.

German Shells Reveal
First ReinnS Cathedral

Paris.-Students of history
are greedily digging for every
scrap and shred to piece to-
gether another chapter of BY
gone days as result Of the re-
port of the archaeological mis-
sion planning the RECONSTRUCT
ton of the Reims cathedral.
1t states that German shells
which ripped open the floor Of
that twelfth century church
have disclosed another cathe-
dral built by the Franks which
has contained the tomb Of King
Clovis for 1,410 years.
It is expected that further e1-
cavation will reveal the whole
foundation of the older cathe-
dral built by early Frankish
architects.

Mr.. McKinley's letter
brings cheer to all who
may be sufferers as he
was. Read it:
II can honestly say that I owe
my life to Peruna. After some of
the best doctors in the country
gave me up and told me I could
not live another month, Pcruna
saved me. Travelling from town
to town, throughout the country
and having to go into all kinds
of badly heated stores and build
ings, sometimes standing up for
hours at a time while plying my
trade as auctioneer. 1t is only
natural that 1 had colds fire,
quently; SO when this would
occur + paid little attention to it,
until last December when I con-
tracted g severe case, which,
through neglect on my part
settled on my lungs. When al
most TOO late, I began doctoring.
but, without avail, until I heard
Of Perunn. 1t cured me; so I
cannot praise it too highly"

NO MORE EXCUSES
FOR HARDNESS

The Western Union has this. week in
stalled clocks at strategic points in
the buildings of the institution. The
location of these time-keepers is as
follows:
|. In corridor near entrance to
main building.
2. On second floor of training
school building.
3. On stairway between second
and third floors Of industrial arts
building.
4. In the auditorium.
In the new dormitory.
In the old dormitory.
Residents of the dormitories can
now time their movements by a clock
that is always right. Getting to class
at $40 instead of $3.50 because the
clock was slow, is thing of the past.
Speakers in chapel will henceforth
have an unerring guide to tell them
when their time is up. No longer will
it be necessary to change the master
clock nearly every day to keep it with
the whistle. The installation Of these
clocks is an improvement that will be
appreciated by all those who have
tried in vain to keep their watches
with the school clock, the sun, and
the mill whistle, with the result that
they rarely agreed with any one Of
the three. v. C. N. official time is
now naval observatory time, correct
ed hourly by telegraph. &C.. ...

THE RED CROSS CREED

..- ..a BY j. S. Cutler
Do something for somebody, some
where .a
While jogging along life's road;
Help some one to carry his burden,
And lighter will grow your load.
Do something for somebody gladly,
Twill sweeten your every care; NIX
In sharing the sorrows of others,
Your own are less hard to bear.
Do something for somebody, striving,
To help where the way seems long;
And the homeless hearts that Ian
guish
Cheer up with a little song.
Do something for somebody always,
Whatever may be your creed
There's nothing on earth can help you
So much as kindly deed.

THE THING THAT
J., COULDN'T BE DONE

Somebody said, "It cannot be done!"
But he, with chuckle, replied,
"Well, maybe it can't but I'll not be
To say so until have tried"
So he buckled right in with a bit of a
grin
On his face; if he worried, he hid it,
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
Somebody scoffed, "You can never do
that,
At least, no one ever has done it,
But he took off his coat and he took
off his hat
And the first thing we knew he'd be-
gun it,
With lift Of his chin, he buckled
right in,
Without any doubling or quit it,
He started to sing as he tackled the
49, thing
That had never been done-and he did
it.
There are thousands to tell you, ut
cannot DE done,
There are thousands to prophesy fail
ure.
There are thousands to point out, one
by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you,
But just buckle in, with bit of grin,
Take off your coat and go to it,
Just start in to sing as. you tackle the
thing
That cannot be done-and you'll do it.

SECOND DIVISION THE BEST

Victor McNaugh, one of the best
posted war correspondents in the
country, in an article in the Lexing-
ton Herald of last Thursday, gave a
condensed history of the various U.
S. Divisions fighting in France and
while all the divisions deserve great
credit, he makes the statement that
one Yank was as good as another
and all better than their foes, yet
that history will record the work of
the glorious Second Division as
Outstanding Contribution
to the victory won on the battle
fields of France, as official figures
show they captured more guns and
prisoners and gained more ground
than any other.
