The Daily Telegraph used to print
28 pages daily. In order to be able
to give their readers 80 pages each
six days instead of the "a pages pub
lished by the Express and other
dailies the Telegraph management
deliberately abandoned "a per cent
of its circulation. Only 648 900 copies
of the Telegraph are being printed
instead of the $4,000 copies for
merly printed.
The length of all news dispatches
and special articles has had to be
cut and many features dropped al
together. The large type banner
headlines which we're formerly en-
ployed on the front page of the
Daily Express have been abandoned
IN order to crowd in more news. Lore
Beaverbrook, proprietor of the Ex-
press, thinks the screaming head
lines will not be restored after the

Advertising has had to be cur

scarcity British businesses desire
to keep up their advertising during
wartime. They want to keep the
public familiar with their prod
ucts and trade names even though
they have little or nothing to sci
at the moment. The larger news
papers have had to ration adver-
tising so as to give every prospec.

SPRING VALLEY, Wis, Sept. 10.
The future of this tiny farming
community. devastated by food
which caused damage estimated as
high as 81 500, 900, remained in doubt
tonight as local residents and State
and relief officials pondered the
problem of abilitation.
Decision on whether to transfer
the entire village to higher ground
nearby or abandon the business dis
trict entirely was to be made to-
morrow at a community meeting.
Several merchants declared they
would not rebuild in the present
valley site and others said their
losses were so high assto prevent re-
establishment of their businesses at
all. The food, which roared in
from the Eau Gale River Thursday
night, was the fourth to strike the
community since Memorial Day.

AID STATION CAN
BE MOVED INSTANTLY
The battle" began with an in
fantry attack, accompanied by
extremely realistic gu nfire.
When an advancing soldier
dropped, company aid man
rushed to his side, gave emer-
gency treatment, and improvised
white banner as a guide for
litter bearers.
Four litter bearers appeared
soon and began the trek to the
battalion aid station, the nearest
portable unit. They broke step"
and employed other special tech
niques to make it easy gliding
for the victim.
About 500 yards to the rear
was an aid station, hidden in a
clump of trees. This station,
close to the attacking troops, can
be moved at a moments warning
If necessary. Here supplies and
equipment had been emptied
from portable metal chests. An
officer-doctor che ked the
wounded mems metal identified
ton tags and proceeded with
the second stage of treatments
such as placing a leg in trac-
ton splint.
A jeep suddenly snorted out
of the bushes and four litters
were placed on its mounted
frame. This carried the wounded
back to the next medical post, q
collection station, which serves
one regiment. Additional facil-
tiles and space were available
here.
MODERN HOSPITAL

But the real miracle appeared
at the final clearing station near
