An In cident In the work of tied C'ro-ia nurses called to a new hospital near the front Is told In a communication from Miss. Julia Stimson, chief nurse of the American Red Cross In France. The story follows: Summoned in an emergency to take care of American soldiers in a hospital near the front, 20 Red Cross nurses were packed In a large motor omnibus with an army nurse who was going up with her special team. When the town was reached about ten o'clock it was in such a state of darkness it was impossible to read the signs in the streets and difficult to keep In the roud. Soon two Amer ican military police stopped the truck and guided it to Red Cross head quarters where a captain directed us thru the black streets, which wore by this time full of heavily laden artil lery trucks carrying American troops. "V Air Ituid KlKiinllixl "By means of occasional flashes from a hand torch It was possible to follow the guide to the Ecole proffes- sionale, which had just that day he- come an American hospital. When we drove Into a courtyard the siren warning of the air raid, and guns were 'booming. The nurses hurried in across a cloister-like corridor into a pitch-black room because ft was explained that it was unsafe for them to stay out In the open. They could not see the faces of the people who were speaking and not even a cig arette light was allowed. "For a few minutes talk was rapid while the situation was explained. There were about two hundred Amer ican patients In the biUlding, also a few French soldiers left from the preceding organizations, for this building hud been a French hospital for some time. The severe raids of the day before had completely de moralized the civilian employes who had left. Gas, electricity and water mains had all been put out of busi ness and operations had been carried on the night before by the light of hand electric torches. A large num ber of patients, after 2 4. hours., were still on stretchers'. The six 'Amer ican nurses who had been collected from other places in the town had been working day and night, but they were still game, as were the Ameri can officers who were in charge. All Volunteer "It was stated that at least eight of the new nurses would be needed that night and volunteers were asked for. Every one of the 20 volun teered. The first eight women who could be touched In the darkness, much as children pick leaders In a game, were put over on one side, while the rest were conducted to an empty ward which conlulned abso lutely nothing but bed frames with metal slats and springs. The eight night nurses, discarding their hats and coats, were taken to pitch-black wards full of wounded men. As" the truck with all their bags had not yet appeared, they had tqjjoto work In their blue serge dresses. When the chief nurse saw them the next morn ing, with their hair dishevelled, with their faces and dresses covered with dust from their trip, with towels pinned across the front of their cloth dresses, she could not help thinking that some of the illustrators of mod ern magazines might change their opinions of wur nurses If they could see this group. As the other truck hod arrived, the day group of nurses was able to appear In fresh grey uni I 'mmm kiSteii JL 'nTT, Km.'"" 1 !l PAULINE FREDERICK f ' j i K 1 1 nr9-Dane,s Defense" ; L jWC'j ! I fij Awning J J VAJUdb LOSS OP MORALE PARIS, July 20. The cross exam ination of M. Malvy, former minister of the interior, who is on trial before the senate, sitting as n high court of justice on a charge of treason, was continued today. M. Jlalvy defended himself as hnv- Ing always acted In accord with each ministry of which he was a member. He creater a sensation by quoting from a letter dater .May 5, 191 from General Nlvellc expressing his gratitude and that of the army for M. Malvy's work. M. Malvy said the morale of the army was excellent before the April 1917 offensive, but that It was low ered sharply afterward owing to the results of the offensivtrand disap pointed hopes. The mutinies, he added, were due to defective canton ments and tho suspension of leaves and also to the Russian revolution and stories of the new Russian army discipline and the soldiers electing their own officer. .

Fashioned with a solid butt, to be jammed into the muzzle, it rendered a gun useless for tiring. The butt was soon changed to a socket, but not before the new f.infiled bayonet brought the F.nglish army to grief at Killiekrankie. The English noldicr found the bayonet a poor fit, hard to get into his gun; und when he got it in, hard to get out. When he had t; bayonet, he couldn't bayonet; when he had to uhoot, he couldn't shoot. The b.ror.ct experiment gave the Scots the battle.
