NURSE TEST|F|ES
IN COURT MARTIAL
Says Private PendIeton Was
Not Given Usual Hos
pitaI Attention.

Private Guy Pendleton, fer the loss
of whose legs Maj. George w. Cook,
Medical Corps, U. s. A, is being tried
here by court martial on the
charges of malpractice. did not re-
ceiye the same care and attention
as other major cases at the hospital
at FIT. Eustis, Va, according to the
belief expressed today by Miss Julia
McKenRa, a second lieutenant in the
Army Nursing Corps, in testimony be-.
fore the court in the Munitions build
ing.
Under questioning by Lieut.. Court
ney Whitney for the prosecution Miss
McKenna said that Private Pendle-
| toms. was the only fracture case in
which she had ever been compelled
to make dressings without assist
ance of either the ward surgeon or
others
Maj. Raymond Z. Scott, Medical
Corps, United States Army, for the
defense, however. sharply cross-ex-
amined the nurse, drawing from her
the admission that the treatment CIV
en- the infected wounds" of Private
Pendleton was not radically different
infected wounds.
Miss McKenna's testimony occu-
pied the entire morning session or
the court-martial. The prosecution
expected later in the day to call its
star witness, Capt. James X. Bibig-
haus, Medical Corps, United States
Army, formerly on duty at Fort Eus-
| tbs.

situation, Irving T. Bush, president
of the New York State Chamber Of
Commerce, declared before the Manu-

expressed the opinion that a sensible

sible.
Ultimate ruin for France. with
America powerless to help, was fore
cast by Mr.. Bush, who emphasized
that France had received 1882, ,0O0,-
GEO gold marks from Germany, and
spent / 1sts ~ 100000 g gOia marks to
German soil. He felt Germany had
made Substantial payments and
now needed working capital.
Germany never can pay the great
amount she, shogld be made to pay

away from her throat"
Mrs Bush, opposing the Ruhr in

Two conjeCtures are held by the
majority of investigators as to the
ignition of this blast charge One is
a short circuit in the electric wiring
of the chamber, and the other is the
parting OF the exhaust pipe OF the
motor at the gasket, where il is con-
nected with the motor proper.
1t was explained that the altitude
chamber OF the laboratory was not
being used as il was originally in
tended when constructed at the time
of the explosion, but-because il has

utilized as a test chamber for high
volatile gasoline with a small popu-
lar model automobile motor.

An official statement issued today
by the Department of Commerce reads
as follows:
THE actual experimental work in
progress was a series OF tests on the
performance of high volatile gasoline

The work was recognized to be or a
highly dangerous character, and an

is nothing which gives greater happiness
than giving" (Which is the essence of
love), they were as hospitable as the late

1t is thine" Pretty soft, eh? Easy pickins.
You said it, kid.
Now the white men had great eye for
scenery and what they didn't admire
wasn't worth much. They kept admiring
the lands of the chiefs until they numbered
their holdings by the thousands of acres
and the Hawaiians held but little.
The Hawaiian was the original won't
guy. His simple mind could see little use
in working up sweat and running his
swimming form by moiling and toiling to
raise ten thousand pineapples when Mother
Nature gave him two hundred more than
he needed without requiring any effort.
So he fooled away his precious life in
being happy, playing, singing, loving,
basking about in the sunshine and riding
the surf. Can you feature it? Nutty, eh?
Ignorant and barbaric, of course. The
beautiful hussies and the splendid morons
never seemed to understand the desirable
ity of money. Not very amenable to the
influence of civilization although the de-
vouted missionaries laboured diligently to
gather them into the fold.
Then, kava inspired Portugee invented
the ukelele and the Worlds Fair intro

pop-eyed yokels of Chi and neighboring
villages. 1t was the end.

Eos was striking out, Shu got caught in

was finally run down by johnson. This
out was heart breaker for the local fans
for it cleaned the bases and made two
outs. Bur hit rolling grounder along
first base line and was safe when Gansior
threw the ball over Smiths head, Bur
going to second on the error. This mis-
play would have given the locals the
victory, "if", Shu had played safe at
second. H'dy retired the side by getting
thrown out w. Joshsowitz to Smith. The
visitors by retiring the local side in the
last round on double quick time, ended

"gold brick" them all, some of the time;

And now just word, in closing, in
regard to "hecklers." When man inter
rupts your address with question, answer
it at once, and to the very best of your
ability. Do not retort sarcastically or
evasively, nor resort to funny story at
his expense. Such tactics will cause the
forfture of your audiences respect. If
"heckler" insists upon annoying you with
senseless or ambiguous questions, ignore
him entirely. Your audience will dispose
of him very effectively, if you are court
eous, and merit their respect.
