B .Church—Flag .on Kitchen Floor Veterans of the Grand Army and other patriotic ons as- sembled at Trinity Methodist church last evening where their annual divine service was held. Members of Stan- ley Post were given an opportunity to compare the medical methods used in the Civil war with those of 1917 ‘when Dr. James F. Faulkner of West Main street, who has seen service in France, gave an address on modern methods of handling the 'sick and wounded of the armies. 'In speaking of the general situation Dr. Faulk- ner stated that he expects the great world war will last from three to five) years longer.

Dr. Faulkner spoke of handling ty- phoid fever and tetanus‘ of - which there are large numbers of victims in the allied armies. He also spoke of the numerous cases of trench: feet for which. the :men are always receiving treatment and which are caused by standing in the mud and water of trenches. When the’ British captured the trenches at Ypres they discovered over 6,000 cases of-typhoid among the Belglans. At the same time about 36,000 soldiers were vaccinated the medical corps took over the en- tire sanitary system. It is the duty of the corps to test both the food and water supply to see that they are pure and will in fio way affect the general health of the army, said: Dr. Faulkner. ‘When the lines are continuously advancing and retreating there is a general fluctuation which ‘makes it difficult to care for the wounded, satd Dr: the hospitals were stationary attention and care ‘could be provided for the men.' The bases are situated miles back from the fluctuating 'lines and at present there are four great bases located on the French coast. Dr. Faulkner stat- ‘ed that up to the time the submarine - | warfare became'so active the wound- & Marx Clothes Stackpolc -Moore- Tryon Co. 118 Asylum St., Hartford. ed men were sent back to England but at the present time théy are held at the base hospitals. In one place, said Dr. Faulkner, a large dye factory has been utilized for the purpose of bathing thé sol- diers. The huge vats are filled with hot. water and the men - receive a thorough cleaning. At various times there ‘are as many as 2,000 soldiers & day taking baths- In the meantime their uniforms are taken, given a cleansing with live steam which ster- flizes them and then are ironed. To the rear several miles are located the washwomen who handle the clothes of the.fleld .army.and, accordjng to. Dr, Faulkner, ' they' are workers who accomplish much under the most try- ing conditions. He stated that for the splendid work théy are doing the country should award them mml-. .Care of the We p of Dr. Faulkner's time' was spent at the Casualty clearing station where the wounded are sorted out and then sent to the rear- Here temporary relief is given the men. To the un- enlightened visitor there would be as big a surprise as is caused a child .when a large butterfly emerges from its cytula. From the time the men are picked kID they are never isolated from skilled attention. They are first seen by the!regimental medical of- ficer and this is followed by an exam- ination ' and dressing of the wound. Then théy are sent ~or carried’ on station.| T by ten medical officers and fifty non- commissioned officers and men. ‘Wounded men are generally -kept at the sdvance dressing station until darkness comes’ when they are trans- ported by motor ambulances to a ‘casualty clearing station a few miles to the rear of the lines. These sta- tions are located in old: factories, schools, huts and churches and in each is located a well adapted operat- ing room which is well lighted by electricity or some other artificial means. These operating rooms afford all that is necessary for good surgery. 1At the casualty clearing stations all cases, both sick and wounded, are treated. Not only are the bodies of the men taken caré of but their equipment is repaired at the casualty station so that it is not necessary if a man is slightly wounded to send him on =2 lonk railroad journey to the base. The men are so well cared for that at the clearing stations at least eighty per cent. of the cases never go any far- ther but are returned to the front, thus avolding a long absence from | their regiment that a journey would involve.

In order to be considered wounded & man has to be. hit or injured by a bullet or piece of a shell from a Ger- man gun. The ambulance cases are classified ‘as “sitters” or ‘“lers” | Stretoher cases are called “lters” and a motor ambulance will carry four of these while it will accommodate six to eight “sitters’” Casualties back of the line are caused by shell/fire: ‘When shell fire s started the most of these octur because the people or soldiers have not had time to get into their cellars and shell proofs. After the bombardment is over they return to the lines again. In telling of the intelligence depart- ment. Dr. Faulkner said he had as his patient & brother cf a man that worked in the census bureau and he 'told him of the many and varied ways that spys are caught by tracing mail. In one case a’ postal card ‘had a cipher written on the edge and when it was traced throygh the malils the man that received it was:found to be supplying gasoline to a submarine in the English channel. The department [also advised the people one night to be on the watch for German air craft byt they did not appear. The next day a similar warning was posted and late that night a number of English aiff craft were driven over the town. The result of the supposed raid was that a number of German spies were uptund as they nlnalad from vari- ous'roofs. In regard to the present ‘crisis Dr. Faulkner said that the submarine was a big question but the allles would meet it as it was not half the crisis that the” allles faced in 1915 when their ‘supply of shells ran short. In regard to the Russian situation he| stated that if the people were given time: to ‘work out their own salvation everything, would' turn out' all right. The people of this country must real- ize that the question is a serious one and Dr. Faulkner expressed the belief that the war might last from three to five years longer. The' only pre- ventative’ wotld be internal trouble in Germany and this was hardly possible &s the people believe all that the ofi- cers say and the government has ‘‘got he people where they want them.” 'o show the truth of this Dr. Fau ner; told of German prisoners who told ‘him that London had been cleaned off ‘the map and that he would never be able to reach America again as' the: submarines had lwmnd al ocean tn.vel. ! Oook’s Twlk. Bev. Warren F. Cook, pastor of the church, gave a short address to the members of the G. ‘A. R. and in his opening words caused surprise and anger. The anger, however, was not directed at Mr. Cook but at a story he told of a citizen in New Britain coming to him and telling him of a family that had the American flag on the kitchen floor 'and were walking all over .it. The man had been In- formed by his little daughter and had. investigated and found'it to be true. When he reported to the police they said that they could do nothing as it was inside. Mr. Cook said that ig<was Iove for haman liberty' and’ what the flagistood for that we were in the war and this country must get behind the cause and beat the enemy. He wished that it were posible to tell of experiences gone through and. of something that he had done to help the cause. Speak- ing to the veterans, Mr. Cook stated that they had born the brunt of the struggle of 61 and had beéen willing to make the sacrifice in order that the honor of the country might be upheld. The people owe the men a great debt and it is impossible to ex- press in words to what extent we are indebted to them. * “What would it mean today if this country were divided rather than united said Mr. Cook.’ “We would not be able to enter the present strug- gle with the proper might and force.. ‘We must make the same sacrifice for freedom of men as was done before, regardless of whether they are white or black. The men of the Grand Army sacrificed their health and lives and the same honor is due those that |} are living as is paid to those whose graves we dec rate. How can we pay the debt? © cannot expect it but we are all xutetnl for the sacrifice made and the tasks that were ac- complished. Those that went to the Spanish-American war and other wars of thig country have also earned the gratitude of the people, “The people honor vou and are teaching the boys and girls to revere the name of the veterans of the Civil and other wars. The country will continue to do so by deeds as well as words. In order to do the thing right a sacrifice has got to be made. In or- der to make thls war shorter, we should prepare for a long war. The country would fight for the liberties off all men everywhere and this in- cludes the German and Austrian working people. The country honors the date of the Civil and Spanish wars because they stood for the flag and all that it stands for. Our peo- ‘ple will' never allow the Stars and Stripes to trail in the dust no matter what may come."” Mr. Cook stated that there were a number. of ways in which people might help the causé and one of these was by Joining the Red Cross. This de- partmumt isgne of the best’ prepared in America today and everyone should get in line sometime during the next ten days. Another thing was the great war loan that the government is putting out and every one should make a sacrifice to get in it. There is hardly a family that can pot take at least one, he said, and by joining some of the clubs more could be we- cured. TALKS ON CITIZENSHIP. “Citizenship” was the subject of an address given last night by Regis- trar Thomas J. Smith before the members of the Polish - Citizenship club. .
