FORREST. (Cnited Press Staff Correspondent.) LONDON. Aug. 18. (By Mail) The finest reling hospital in the world ife somewhere in France today. Known as the "Princes ChristiaH Hospital train.-' it was built from subscriptions solicited by the sisters of the late King Edward, who pro vided a similar equipment, though smaller, during the Boer war. Every requirement necessary for the care of 400 desperately wounded soldiers is provided in eight coaches of the TOO foot conveyance. Six ad ditional carriages provide lounging quarters for the sick and slightly wounded on their way to base hospi tals from the front. Several coaches are equipped with beds, a kitchen, lockers, hot and cold water and elec tric and gas appliances Including Il lumination. Another affords sleeping accom modations for nurses and doctors while another Is a complete operat ing room. Hundreds of details throughout the moving hospital are supplied from the latest knowledge of hospitals and surgical supplies. If necessary It can be sidetracked at an isolated wavstation near a battle front and be employed as a stationary hospital. A joint committee of the leading railways 'if France and England su perintended the construction of the train at Birmingham. Much has been said of the famous American hospital of Paris but little Ik known of the "American Hospital of Indon." America is the Greatest Country in the World Because there are more homes owned in America than in any other country. The man who owns his own home makes the best citi zen. The boy who grows up in his own home makes a better man than one who is dragged from pillar to post, lie has more self respect and more respect for his par ents. It isn't so hard to get a home as it used to be nor as hard as some people think it is. We have been in the home furnishing business a long, long time and we can make home owning easy for those who want to try. Don't wait until prices go up, see us now. "WE MAKE IT RIGHT."

It is equipped with light airy operating rooms, medical and surgical stores, labratories and x-ray rooms. embracing all the latest In medical science.

Mail advices from Ghent, Belgi um, tell that Germans sentenced Countess Dejongh Dardoye, aged II, to three months imprisonment recent ly. She was walking In Ghent with her 1 Goods grandmother and both were wearing medals with King Albert's picture. A German officer tore the medals from them, saying "Away with that king without a country." The young Countess picked up the medals, and answered hotly: "We Belgians prefer a king without a country to an emperor without hon or." She was immediately arrested and subsequently sentenced by court martial. WARSAW, Aug. 8. (By Mall) "Small arms and bullets are playing no role In the present war. The rifle is the infantryman's toy. The infan tryman does not. fight. When the big guns have finished the 'infantryman merely scrambles into the trenches they have won and occupies them." This is the statement of Surgeon Major Leshintseff. who has just re turned from the scene of the big bat tle in Gallcla. "Seven eighths of the wounds are from shells, half of these from big calibre shells and the rest from field howitzers and field guns.'' The shell that the Russians fear is the Skoda 42 centimetre projectile weighing 280Q pounds. They are known to the soldiers as "Pilseners." The normal projectory of the Skoda gun is 4 1-2 miles high and in soft ground the shells penetrate 20 feet before exploding. The "Pilseners" are howitzer guns and the projectiles except in diameter do not represent the famous Krupp 42 centimetre shells, also used by the Germans. Describing the effect of a "pilsen er" shell." the surgeon said: "It kills everyone within 150 yards and kills others who are further off. The mere pressure of gas breaks in the partitions and roofs of bomb proof shells. Scores of men, who es cape metal fragments, stones and showers of earth, are killed, lacerat ed or blinded by the pressure of gas. Men who are only a short distance away are torn asunder. Sometimes only the clothes are stripped off. Of men close by not a fragment remains the clothes disappear' and only small metal articles are found. If the shell Is very near the explosion melts rifle barrels as If they were struck by lli'htnfng. Men who disappear In such explosions are often reported miss- inir. as there Is no proof of their death." ANOTHER PLOT TO BLOW UP PLANT DISCOVERED GARY, Ind..

ENGLAND GOES 10 SECOND YEAR OF M WITH EC0I.1Y IDEAL KAYlXfi BF.trMi:s NOT ONLY NATIONAL IHTY HI T ST HUT NECESSITY. (iovornmcnt Must Havo $3.000 000, OOO a Wear to dairy on the Con flirt Premier Asquith Heads lat ltamcntary war Sitvlivrs committor, to Promote the Habit, BY WILBUR S. FORREST (United Press Staff Correspondent.) LONDON, Aug. 19. (By Mail.) Kngland has entered the second year of war on a strict basis of economy. Saving Is not only a national duty but a bald Imperative necessity. Tho government must have $5,000,000,000 a year to carry on the war. The gov ernment's annual revenue is only $1, 350.000.000. The balance $3.650, 000,000 must be furnished by the nation the people. . The answer Is: Strict economy starting right away. This is the keyaote of a stern mes sage to the people from the parlia mentary war savings committee, headed by Premier Asquith, Bonar Law and other notables. Assisted by experts on national economy, tha comm'ttee is telling the people what to save and how to save it.' A booklet for nation-wide distribu tion, soon to be published by the committee will place the issue be fore every- British citizen, rich and poor, high and low. The language is simple and to the point. Here Is the little problem in arith metic that the government economists write on the national blackboard for Mr. John Bull: Eliminate the millions and Just suppose that the British government were an every day garden variety ot man John Bull. John has been en Joying a comfortable income of $11. 600 a year. After spending money for household necessities, week-end trips to the seashore and furnishing gasoline for his automobile he has been able to save $1500 a year. Then suppose, suddenly, he finds himself enmeshed In a lawsuit with his ag gresslve neighbor, Herr Johann Schmidt, of Berlin. To carry on the lawsuit he must spend $5000 a year. How can he find the money? He has four alternatives, the gov ernment experts say: 1. Sell his investments. 2. Borrow from other people. 3. Draw on money he has In the bank. 4. Save out of the money he usu ally spends. But If he employs any of the first three suggestions he will come out of the lawsuit poorer than he went In There is but one logical suggestion and that Is to save eliminate the lux uries. It means that he'll have to economize, to eat, drink, smoke and dress less expensively; keep fewer servants, travel less, go to the the ater less; utilize his garden to grow the flowers that he formerly bought of the florist, and the potatoes and vegetables that he previously took Irom the grocer; garage his automo bile and do without innumerable un necessary things that eat Into the family exchequer. If John Bull does all this he can keep on with his suit against Johann Schmidt indefinitely and when it is all over he will be no poorer. He can then revert to the original and more comfortable mode of living. This jay the parliamentary econ omists, is the government's plan In a nutshell. It means to save and scrape to keep up its battlefield law suit to the indefinite end and to emerge with unimpaired credit. It is pointed out to John Bull col lectively and individually that to sell stocks and bonds abroad means a poorer England; to borrow from other nations means a greater and heavier national debt; to draw on the prevailing national fund means send ing gold abroad and endangers Brit ish world-wide banking. Tne proo lem that Johann Schmidt's lawsuit puts up to John Bull is the same problem that the government puts up to the people. It means use less ano save more, all of which makes it possible for the government to Im- nort less and export more. During the first six months of 1915, Kngland imported $3,Ho,uiju, 000 worth of goods from other coun tries and sold them only ll.175.uuu, 000 worth. Duly subtracted and di vided these figures show that England bought from other countries at tn rate of $5,000,000 daily more than he sold them. In normal times, normal British business supplies the deficit, but now that there Is war, the elements of trade and commerce that supply tne. difference are being u?ed for war Thus say the government economist. Is shown the Imperative necessity for thrift And the only solution of the problem Is a revolution of national habits. The government thrift campaign Is to enter every BritlKh kitchen and garden. "Each commtinity will elect It committee and outline its Individual thrift campaign," said If. E. Morgan chairman of the parliamentary com Ittee today. "Everyone wants to help his country at a time like this. Flower gardens and lawns must go. Vegeta bles must take their place. Every luwn mustybecome a potato patch."
