They have all a pointing finger in the one direction,—the need of an emer- ambulance at the New Britain General hospital. Such a vehicle and the necessary upkeep, coupled with the cost of maintaining a driver, will cost a goodly sum of money, The initial outla probably . be too much to ask the city budget ta bear. It will also be too great ajmrden for the finances of the hospital to meet. Yet, there is a way this ambulance can be purchased, and the way will | .soon be found when responsible men | and™ women the absolute necessity of such a thing.. The Herald stands ready to lend help in such a worthy project. It is also in posses- |'sion of suggestions that prove valuable when the work is started in earnest. It believes, however, that the momentum should be given by the hospital authorities who must know the futility of ever relying on the ser- vices of the city government's police patrol Every girl, at any or be con- | gent: will realize will man and woman, boy and who traverses the city’s streets time is vitally interested in this question of providing an emer- gency ambulance ‘for duty here. { Whether walking or riding, in auto or trolley car, no. one accident. At the particular mament there may be no medical aid at hand. There may be no wagon, cart, car- riage or other conveyance nearby to be prgssed into ambulance duty. Even the police patrol may be out of the station bn other work. Then would the blessing of a modern ambulance be appreciated. And the hospital must have one even if it starts off with an auto car as crude as those doing ambulance service\in the of European battle lines. rear RESTRAINT AND PR AUTION. de- upon the Government Lo sever relations Ausf Hungary.

The following arc some of the statements made by the gencral: “Our two mOst Serious preoccupa- tions at present are and ar- tillery. We have had to construdt within the last few months in the rear of our lines over 350 kilometers of railway lines, and recently I sent for the managers of the greatest rall- way companies In England. TI'showed them on the spot what had been done and what remains to be done. They understood the urgency and extent of the task. “As regards munitions, we have realized the maximum. At this mo- ment we can supply our allies in ex- cess of their needs. We must, haw- ever, have more artillery, especially heavy artillery. The point is not merely to be equal to the enemy, but to overwhelm him with the whole of our strength.” The journalists asked whother a great offensive was imminent and whether Sir Douglas thought the Ger- man lines would be plerced. The genoral replied: “Who will commence it, the French, the Germans, or ourselves, that mat- ters little. If the enemy commences cither in the north or south in salients which appear to him favorable, we are ready to receive him, and his ef- fort will cost him dear. We have armies trained and fully ‘equipped, S0 that at no moment will there be a possibility even jn the rear that he can be able to reintrench himself, “You ask me whether we shall break the German front. Most cer- tainly we shall, and severely and at many points. The Germang to de- fend themselves behind their front have a very powerful network of rallways. The first attacks of the general offensive may find themselves defeated at some points. But we shall strike with full force until we achieve the total destruction of the German army.” On being asked whether that would take place this year or not he replied: “The year will be decisive in the sense that one will see take place on the battleflelds the decision of the'war, that is to say, the event after which Germany will be shown to be beaten militarily. It may be that the year of decision ig also the vear of peace. We all desire and and shall do every- thing in our power to bring . about the desired result. “Peace can only come with abso- lute victory, which will be attained by the force of our aims. The allies must not allow themselves to be de- ceived by Germany's suggestions. In offering peace Germany only thinks of preparatioms for the next war. If we unfortunately yielded to the per- fidious appeals the drama would re- commence in three y¢ The sol- diers, with their good scnse and in- stinct, understand that. Those on whom it depends with their blood wish to create a peace by victory. In this respect T have the “entire con- fidence of our troops. Their morale is above all suspicion. With regard to peace we are all ‘squarely wed,” by which T mean the indomitable will to fight until the end.” SAFETY BOARD MEETS TONIGHT. Supernumerarics Will Explain Their Grievances in Full.
