FASTER CARGO

NEW YORK. Nav 6.-Faster
cargo ships to deliver Americas s
commodities to the markets of the
world ION twentieth century ba
Sis is the economic need of the
hour. in the opinion of Edward N.
Hurley. Of Chicago, former war
chairman of the United States Ship
ping Board. as expressed in an ex
elusive interview with international
News Service.
This is the age of speed but
world shipping Is not keeping pace
with the times" said Mr., Hurley.
I'VE have the airplane working on
practical basis. Our railroads are
faster, and through the radio, trans
atlantic telephone and fast passen
ger ships we have acquired d
method of personal contact with
all nations.
Studied Europe
But we have not as yet made
any progress to speak of in the
delivery of world commodities on a
twentieth century basis. In the
last Is years we have increased
the speed of cargo ships only one
knot an hour; faster cargo ships
are an urgent necessity They
would bring about greater pros
peritv for the United States"
| Mr.. Hurley has lust returned
from Europe and while abroad
| he discussed with business men
| of Great Britain. Germany and
France the question of equalization
Of world shipping on the seven
seas. He pointed out to them that
! 20 per cent of the world cargoes
are carried at a loss on account
of lack of equalization and classifi
cation of world commodities.
| If we are to expand our for
eign commerce and deliver our
goods regularly and rapidly, the
way in which we now deliver our
| domestic goods due to the efficiency
Of the railroads IN the last six
years, the world must speed up
cargo and general trader ships, -
said MIR. Hurley.
| Unless there is a quicker turn
around in ports and 16-knot ships
are put in operation generally, then
the merchandise manufactured by
all nations will not be purchased
in the quantities that seasonable
products and other merchandise
would be bought if the merchants
could have prompt service by means
OF faster and more dependable ships
Calls Boats Slow
Il found that shipping men of
Great Britain, Germany and France
were sympathetic and willing to
consider ways and means to re.
classify commodities whereby some
| OF the rates would be increased and
others reduced, thereby increasing
the earning power of shipping. This
! would permit them to discard, and
were necessary, junk eight.knot
ships and give them a reserve fund
to build 16 and Is knot ships"
Mr.. Hurley favors making the
speed shown by the railroads Of
the United States in moving mar.
chandise applicable to the high seas
He declared: I'VE are paying mil
lions of dollars in interest on cargoes
that are on slow boats: the covered
wagon days should be over on the
high seas"
We can manufacture 25 per cent
more merchandise that we can con-
sumo. 1t Is up to us to provide a
way. to deliver this merchan 1ise
more promptly to foreign markets
which are waiting for our goods"

sake of the others, so that no one IN
the ward dies in sympathy. And
they can look after him better, too,
if he Is by himself"
But what about him?"
Josef shrugged his shoulders.
"Ustally he doesn't take much no
tice any more"
Does everybody know about it
then?"
ANY one who has been here long
enough knows, of course"
In the afternoon Franz Wach-
ter's bed has a fresh occupant. A
couple of days later they take the
new man away, too. Josef makes a
significant gesture. We sec many
come and go.
Often relatives sit by the beds
and weep or talk softly and awk-
wardly. One old woman will not go
away, but she can not stay there
the whole night through.
Another morning she comes very
early, but not early enough; for as
she goes up to the bed, someone else
is in it already. She has to go to
the mortuary. The apples that she
has brought with her she gives to
us.
And then little Peter begins to
get worse. His temperature chart
looks bad, and one day the fiat troll
ley stands beside his bed. Where
to?" he asks.
ITO the bandaging ward"
He is lifted out. But the sister
makes the mistake of removing his
tunic from the hook and putting it
on the trolley too, so that she
should not have to make two jour-
reys. Peter understands i'm
mediately and tries to roll off the
trolley. I'm stopping here!"
They push him back. He cries
out feebly with his shattered lung.
81 won't go to the dying ROOM
But we are going to the ban

only one night sister, perhaps she
has something to do in one Of the
other rooms.
Franz, are you quite sure your
are bieeding?" l ask. Otherwise
we shall be getting cursed again"
The bandage is wet. Can't any
body make light?"
That can not be done either. The
switch is by the door and none Of
us can stand up. I hold my thumb
against the button Of the bell until
it becomes numb. Perhaps the
sister has fallen asleep.
They certainly have great deal
to 90 and are overworked day after
day. And added TO that is the ever
lasting praying.
Should we smash a bottle?" asks
Josef Hamacher of the shooting
license.
She wouldn't hear that any more
than the bell"
At last the door opens. The old
lady appears, numbling. When she
perceives Franz'S trouble she begins
TO hustle, and says: why did not
someone say I was wanted?"
I'VE did ring. And none of us
here can walk"
He has been bleeding badly and
she binds him up. In the morning
we look at his face, it has become
sharp and yellow, whereas the eve
ming before he looked almost
healthy. Now a sister comes
oftener.
Sometimes there are Red Gross
voluntary-aid sisters. They are
pleasant, but often rather unskiIled
They frequently give us pain when
remaking our beds, and then are so
frightened that they hurt us still
more.
The nuns are more reliable. They
know how they must take hold of us,
but we would be more pleased if
they were somewhat more cheerful.
A few of them have real spirit, they
are superb.
for Sister Libertine, this
sister, who spreads good
cheer through the whole wing even
when she can only be seen in the
distance. And there are others like
her. We would go through fire for
her.
A man can not really complain,
here he is treated by the nuns ex-
actly like a civilian. On the other
hand, just think of a garrison hos
pital gives a man the creeps.
Franz Wachter does not regain
his strength. One day he is taken
away and does not come back. Josef

shan't see him again. They have

"a little room at the corner of

There are two beds in it. 1t is
generally called the Dying Room"
but what do they do that for?"
'They don't have so much work
to do afterward. 1t is more con-
too. because it lies right
beside the lift to the mortuary.
Perhaps also they do it for the

for?" He can speak no more.
Hoarse, agitated, he whispers:
stopping here!'
They do not answer but wheel him
out. At the door he tries to raise
himself up. His black curly head
sways, his eyes are full Of tears.
Il will come back againl I will
come back again!" he cries.
The door shuts. We are all ex-
cited; but we say nothing At last
Josef says: Many a man has said
that. Once a man is in there, he
never comes through"
I am operated on and vomit for
two days. My bones will not grow
together, so the surgeons secretary
says. Another fellows have grown
crooked; his are broken again. 1t
is disgusting.
Among our new arrivals there are
two young soldiers with fat teer.

CHAPTER xxx

THERE are eight men in our
Il room. Peter, a curly black
haired fellow, has the worst injury
"A severe lung wound. Franz
wachter, alongside him, has shot
IN the arm, which didn't look too
bad at first. But the third night he
calls out to us, telling up to ring,
he thinks he has hemorrhage.
I ring loudly. The night sister
does not come. We have been max
ing rather heavy demands on her
during the night, because We have
all been freshly bandaged and so
have a good deal of pain.
One wants his leg placed so, an
other so, a third wants water,
fourth want her to shake up his
pillow: in the end the buXom old
body grumbled bad-temperedlS and
slammed the doors. Now no doubt
she thinks 1t is something of the
same sort and so she is not coming.
We wait. Then Franz says:

The chief surgeon discovers them on
his rounds, and is overjoyed. Well
soon put that right" he tells them,
I'VE will just do a small operation,
and then you will have perfectly
sound feet. Enter them down,
sister"
AS soon as he is gone, Josef, who
knows everything, warns them:
Don't you let him operate on you!

I count up to five. Then I take

IT smashes into a thousand pieces.
The praying stops. A swarm of
sisters appears and reproach us in
concert.
Shut the door," We yell.
They withdraw. The little one
who came first is the last to go.
"Hesthen," she chirps, but shuts the
door all the same. We have won.
At noon the hospital inspector
arrives and abuses us. He threatens
lis with clink and all the rest of it.
But hospital inspector is just the
same as a commissariat inspector,
or anyone else who wears long
dagger and shoulder straps, but is
really a clerk, and is never consid-
