FOES UNITE AT COTS
German Wounded Treated as
Own Men by French.
CAPTURED COMRADES . AID
Sled leal Service In Improvised Hob-
pltal at Bordeaux Is in Charge
of American Homesickness
; Is Common Ailment.
BORDEAUX, Sept. 24 "Treat the
German wounded the same as our own."
said President Polncare during- a recent
visit to the hospital here. That his
recommendation is being carried out to
the letter was seen by the correspond
ent today at the Bordeaux high school,
which, after weeks of hard work, has
been converted into a 700-bed hospital.
Mere are 60 of the worst cases of Ger
man wounded, most of the wounds having-
been received in the battle of
IJarne.
In charge of the hospital is an Amer
ican. Dr. Melville Wastermann, of San
1'ranclsco, and a Bordeaux doctor who
has given up a large part of his ex
tensive private practice to devote him
self to aiding the wounded.
Dr. Wastermann and the Bordeaux
physician are being assisted by a well
known Dresden surgeon.
German Captives Aid.
Eight members of a German hospital
corps, who surrendered to the French
and were requested to care for the
wounded and came on here with them,
soon will be sent back to Germany, as
provided for by the Geneva convention.
The Germans are being treated in the
lofty classrooms of the high school,
which look over the sunny school gar
den. The men seem to suffer more
from homesickness than their wounds,
which they bear with patient resigna
tion. The cheeriest of all men is a Berlin
streetcar driver, who has a dreadful
wound in the head which already has
destroyed one eye and threatens the
other. He always has a smile for the
doctors and nurses and his delight
when a kindly doctor places a cigarette
between his lips is pathetic.
Shrapnel Wounds Numerous.
In another ward is a young giant,
the back of whose head was almost
shot away by a fragment of a shrapnel
shell. He tosses about on his cot call
ing out in his delirium for his mother.
Near him lies an emaciated youth with
& shattered thigh. In most cases the
men in the high school hospital are
suffering from shrapnel wounds.
As a rule the Germans in the hos
pitals here are .more seriously hurt
than the French soldiers. The first
dressing of the German wounds has
been inadequate and the wounds also
are infected. The physicians say a
large majority of the wounded will re
cover, however.
Baroness Imprisoned in Kngland.
LONDON, Sept. 24. Baroness Marie
von Neubere was sentenced bv a Lon
don Police Court Magistrate today to
imprisonment for three weeks for fail
ing to register as an alien enemy. The
baroness Baid her husband is the Gen
eral commanding the Eighth German
Army Corps, while his son is a mem
ber of the officers' training corps at
the Westminster School. The Baroness
for years kept a private hotel in the
Bloomsbury district.
American Artists in Hospital Corps.
PARIS, Sept. 24. Several American
artists are serving as hospital order
lies in the American ambulance corps
organized here. Included in their num
pber are E. M. Macadams, K. O. Fierske,
R. L. Stewart, Eugene La Chaise and
Cameron Grant. Macadams was obliged
to abandon his'study in the fighting
zone. Fierske has many pictures held
up beyond the German frontier and is
unable to get any news of them.
Berlin Baying: Bacon and I-'ish.
LONDON, Sept. 24. A dispatch to
Reuter's Telegram Company from Ber
lin, coming by way of Amsterdam, says
that the Boersen Courier of Berlin an
nounces that the municipality, which
prior to mobilization began to buy corn
and flour, is now buying' all the fish
and bacon available. -
WILSON INDORSES BILL
REPORTED ANTI-TRUST MKA&URE
REGARDED AS ADEQUATE.
Administration Leaders Think Presi
dent's Approval Will Dispel
Some Opposition.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. President
Wilson let it be known today that he
indorsed the Clayton anti-trust bill as
agreed to In the conference report
which will be taken up for disposition
in the Senate probably tomorrow. The
President, it became known, does not
agree with some opponents of the re
port that the conferees "took the teeth
out of the bill" and regards it as a
measure that, will respond adequately
to the demand for regulation of mo
nopolies in supplementing the Sherman
act.
Administration leaders were agreed
tonight that the President's approval
of the bill would go a long way toward
limiting opposition to the conference
report. Republicans, led by Senators
Nelson. and Clark of Wyoming, will be
aided in their position by Senator Reed,
Democratic member of the Judiciary
committee, who insists that the con
ferees erred in striking some specific
penalties from the bill in the sections'
to prohibit price discrimination and ex
clusive contracts. He also decries the
action of the committee in killing the
amendment authorizing the courts to
dispose of property of convicted cor
porations. Democratic leaders do not expect the
debate on the report in the Senate to
occupy more than two or three days
at the most. In the House little oppo
sition is anticipated. By- the end of
next week the trust legislative pro
gramme, it is expected, will be on the
statute books, the President having de
cided to sign the Federal trade com
mission bill before Saturday without
waiting for the Clayton bill to reach
him.
