GERMANY'S LAST PUNCH McClure Says Her Fate is Spelled FEither by Submarines Or Attitude of Russia. Cumberland, Gap, Feb. 12.—S. S. McClure, New York publisher, speak- ing today at the closing of the Lineoln birthday anniversary celebration at Lincoln university declared that the outcome of ‘the European war de- pended on the success of Germany’s new submarine campaign or the course of Russia. “If the U-boat is a success Ger- many would win the war.” he de- clared, “but Germany is beginning te doubt the practicability of the under- sea craft. Another possibility is that Russia will make a separate peace. Tn case the U-boat is a failure and Russia adheres to the allies, Ger- many is lost.” D TH KS GERARD.

EMERGENCY RELIEF HOSPITAL NEEDED Physician May Be Secured to Sleep at Police Station The tragic death of fifteen months old Staniey Kozlowski of Booth street early today from strangulation following desperate efforts on the part of his parents and the police to secure surgical aid in time has added mater- ial impetus to the agitation for ,an emergency hospital at police head- quarters, or some similar centrally lo- cated site. The tragedy is being;free- ly discussed among members of the police department today and the be- lief expressed that the city is large enough for such an institution or ar- rangemengs whereby a physician is easily available, especially from 8 or 9 o’clock at night until about the same time in the morning. During this time 1t is often difficult to secure speedy response. Parents of the dead child reported that they visited from six to a dozen offices of physicians’on their way to police headquarters and made frantic efforts to secure aid. They were unable to secure aid un too late. Policemen explain this by the custom of many physicians in having their office on a central street with residence in the outskirts of the city. Ameng those who belleve that some arrangement is necessary so as to be able to secure a physician quick- 1y at night and during the early morn- ing hours, in case of accident or emer- gency, is Chief of Police William J. Rawlings. As all available space at headquarters is now utillzed, it has heen suggested that some centrally lo- cated site be secured, fitted up and giv- en over to the use of some young phy- sician. who is just starting practice, with the understanding that he is to be on calli at all times during certain hours of the day and night. Later, if new accommodations for pelice head- quarters are secured, adequate provi- sions will undoubtedly be mad»s for a physician’s sleeping quarters an@ an emergency room. Only policemen on night beats rea- lize the difficulty many experience’ in getting a physician to respond to an emergency call between 9 o’clock at night and 8 or 9 o’clock in the morn- ing. Policemen are met frequently by hurriedly dressed people during early morning hours, asked as to where to get a physician quick and their aid asked. This is especially true among the_poor people of the city and conparative strangers: According to the belief of police cfficials, an emergency hospital or adequate arraxgements with .some physician would cost little and meet all requirements until more satisfac- tory arrangements can be made. Tt is not intended to cut in on the New PBritain General hospital and the in- 72 stitution would only handle first aid cases, where minutes often count foT | anvthing necessary in the life or death. Quite often at night ' there are emergency ambulance c: where the services of a physician needed.
