FOR WAR CONDUCT Persons accustomed to think of the medical corps of the army as a non-combatant unit will be astoninshed to the suggestions prepared for the conduct of military surgeons newly arrived in the war zone. A bulletin from the office of the Surgeon General sums up the technical mil itary knowledge which an army surgeon must have to do his duty competently and incidentally 3hows the exposure to which he is subjected. "As soon as the battalion or regimental sur geon arrives in a new sector and has supervised the installment of his material," the bulletin 3ays, "he should rapidly gain an intimate per sonal knowledge of the first line trenches, dug outs, listening posts, evacuation trenches and means of transportation to the rear. This know ledge should be gained on the day of arrival, if possible, because enemy surprise attacks are fre quently coincident with the arrival of troops in a new sector. It should be acquired through day and night inspections in order that he may be able to de scribe the topography of the terrain to his per sonnel. The latter should also be given an early opportunity of familiarizing themselves with the system of trenches and evacuation routes, so that when called upon to pick up wounded, at least one man of each squad is familiar with the general contour and direction of the trenches. The surgeon should also acquaint himself. through his commanding officer, with the loca tion of the enemy trenches, batteries, trench mortars, and mitrailleuse redoubts, together with the Tiabit' of the enemy in that particular sector. By habits is meant the routine firing of the day and night during periods of normal ac tivity. Certain open spaces, cross roads, gulleys, etc.,are regularly under fire at certain hours of the day or night and the sanitary persannel must learn to avoid these exposed places during these periods. In the preparation of an attack the battalion and regimental surgeons are invariably apprised of the probable objective to be attained. They must study the general topography of the coun to be traversed, its enemy trenches, dugouts and stations, in order to be able to utilize them dur ing an engagement. OPPOSES MILITARISM Much interest attaches to that portion of Lord Curzon's speech at a recent meeting in Lon don, in which he strongly attacked the inclina tion of some to put great military and naval lead ers at the head of the British government. Lord Curzon, who is leader of the house of Lords, and is a member of the War Cabinet, declared such a policy would be extreme hurtful and would be de moralizing to the military forces themselves. Lord Curzon said that he was thoroughly as tonished when he read the newspaper propos als made by responsible persons that the right thing to do at thi3 emergency was to place gen erals and admirals inside the British cabinet. The strange thing about this suggestion he said was made by those who "shrieked about Ger man militarism" . "Let the general and admirals," he continued, "attend the cabinet meetings as they do every day, and advise cabinet ministers, but the mo ment a soldier is placed in control of the policies of an administration, the soldier is spoiled, and he does not improve the administration." He said that mistakes might have been made but "since the present government has been in office the empire has given forth a war effort which has never been equalled in history. The position of England today is that she is at the moment the pillar and bulwark which is uphold ing the liberties of the world." "Grave times are ahead," he continued, "and British soldiers may have to give ground. En couragement is to be found, however, in the un ity of command, in America's effort, and in the resolute, indomitable spirit cf the British people. TIRED OF STRIFE. STARVING AUSTRIA Further details of the critical food situation in Austria is given in statements of burgomaster published in the Vienna Neute Freie Presse, quoted in an official dispatch from Switzerland The burgomaster of Innsbruck wrote that for months it has been impossible to obtain flour throughout the Tyrol except that made of corn, and even that is scarce. Potatoes practically are unobtainable. Whole districts have been without bread for weeks. The burgomaster of Klegenfurst said he did not know how sufficient food is to be obtained this month. Flour is almost entirely, lacking while milk and potatoes are not to be found. Canned goods are entirely- exhausted, and he pays, the situation will be unbearable, unless help arrives from Vienna of Germany. The burgomaster of Gablonz, Bohemia, says : "It is folly for the government to distribute food cards when nothing can be procured with them. This method only succeeds in driving the people to despair." Not being able to wait any longer for a tractor to plow our garden, we have bought a bicycle to which we shall hitch a hoe and do bur own plowing. A soldier at Spartanburg, S. C, has been sentenced to serve for two years at hard labor for bigamy. Strange, but few men appreciate the fact that bigamy always carries hard labor with it. We hear talk of Russia having a counter revolution. The next revolution in Russia that we expect is of the lunch counter variety. t x The completeness of Mr. Lloyd George's vic tory of the government which he heads in the House of Commons of Great Britain, becomes more and more apparent, from the tone of the British press. That the charges of General Mau rice have been fully discredited seems accepted in every quarter of the British empire, and the case of the one time director of military opera tions is now solely in the hands of- the army Council. That preceedings to try Gen. Maurice by court martial will be initiated at once seems certain, but in any event there is little doubt that his distinguished military career has been ended by his own action. The general attitude of the British press re garding the outcome of the charges against the government is indicated by the Daily Mail, which declares that "not a rag of General Mau rice's pretentious indictments is left" and asks who will pay attention to anything he says. It adds that Sir. Asquith the onetime premier, was outgeneralled and outfought. The London Times, apparently converted from some of its previously expressed views of the Premier's speech, drops its contention in favor of an inquiry. It refers to the Premier's stag gering and startling revelations with reference to the statements of Major General Maurice, whose whole case, it says, goes by default. The Times concludes that it is charitable to assume that General Maurice was made the in strument of more able and less honorable men, and thinks it hardly surprising that the House of Commons should have refused so decisively to hear any more of him. On the whole, it ap pears from newspaper comment, that the coun try is tired of parliamentary strife, just as in the United States, the people are weary of Congres sional bickering.

Yep, theater-goers are herbivorous in so far as they enjoy grass widows. It looks as if the German U-boat warfare is xn a lair way to be controlled, it not entirely eliminated. April 23rd an audacious attack was made at Zeebrugge which, although spoken lightly of at the time by the German press, has just been admitted by Berlin to have been suc cessful. Now comes the news that this raid was duplicated at Ostend, thus sealing up a second U-boat base. The raid on Ostend, the second most important German submarine base on the Belgian coast, was made under a terrific fire. In the raid to bottle up Ostend the British suc ceeded in sinking the obsolete cruiser Vindictive, filled with concrete, in the neck of the harbor channel. The Vindictive is three hundred feet in lengUi and the channel 320 feet wide, the hulk, therefore, does not entirely close the chan nel, but it does close it for submarines and light surface craft, except under conditions of the most slow and careful navigation. Vindictive Haymaker? "As we grow older we can't see why pushing the lawn mower is not Just as good exercise for young folks as dancing the turkey-trot to ragtime music." Thus moans 5M.

FISHING Asserting that any further reduction in ship ping assigned to the Italian trade would menace the Italian people and "their army with starva tion, F. Quattrone, Italian High Commissioner to the United States, has made an urgent pro test against the proposal. Mr. Quattrone de nies that Italian shipping is lying idle in Italian ports and makes an especial denial of certain newspapers reports that ships which might be diverted to the trans-Atlantic line of supplies are being used to export from Italy cargoes of spaghetti made of American wheat. Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the Shipping Board, has written the Italian High Commissioner that the published stories referred to did not emanate from the Shipping Board.
