PULLAR NIVEN SITINBATHTUBS AND WATCH MOVIES Septic Wounds Dressed While Patient Sees Pictures London, Dec. 18.—aA moving ple- ture audience in bath tubs through which warm water flows is the enter- tainment oddity provided in film shows by the American Y. M. C. A. at the hospital under the shadows of King's college, Cambridge, where wounded men from France are treated. In one vard certain of the patients who have had very serious, septic wounds are having the water treatment. To look at these men you might think they were lying comfortably in bed, propped up with pillows. They are really sitting in bath tubs in water to their waists. A constant stream of water with a temperature of 98 is kept running through the tub, purifying and cleansing the wounds, which have no other dressing. A kind of magnified lapboard covers the top of the tub and is in turn covered by a long, bright patch quilt. And there the men sit on air cushions, leaning azainst air pillows, day and night, sometimes for weeks at a time. Only the most serlous cases are put into _these baths—men who otherwise have little chance of recovery and none without the ammputation of a «limb. But never yet has a case so treated been lost. “It's beastly uncomfortable the first * sald the record case of the ward, a British Tommy who was for 11 weeks in the bath. “Your legs ache and you have the water rash. But in a week, at most, you get over that, and then it is more comfortable than, being in bed. In fact, after they put you back in bed you can’t sleep for a while, it's so hard.” The American Y. M. C. A. has been sending these men “movies” twice a week. A screen has been arranged at one end of the hut and there all the screen favorites play their parts while the men sit comfortably in their warm tubs. And when the show is over all they have to do is to turn out the lights and go to sleep. ARMENTANS NEED HELP Victims Are Utterly Destitute, Relief Committec Reports—Of 2,000,000 Deported, 400,000 Have Survived. Saloniki, Dec. 16—Charles A. Dana, former execulive secretary the Armenian anrd Syrian Relief commit- tee at Beirut and Constantinople and William 8. Nelson, former American vioe consul at Tripoli, Syria, who have returned here from Syria, declare re- lief is urgently needed among the survivors of the deported Armenians now in Asia Minor. The Armenians are gathering at towns and railway stasions hoping to be able to return home. Both men :gree that out of the 2,000,000 Armenians deported by the Turks, 400,000 survived, snd that not more than one-fourth of the present Armenian population can survive un- til the next harvest unless there is outside help. of HONOR ROLL GROWS BIGGER EACH DAY: | | Red Cross Workers Meeting With Generous Response RED CROSS HONOR ROLL.

SIXTH WARD. Almena Stone. Gerald Leghorn. Thomas Crosby. Today was a busy time with the Red Cross headquarters. The far- reaching results of the canvass are now beginning to be realized and ev- erything is ruaning ahead, only a little behind schedule time. A lot of speeding up has got to be done to reach the 30,000 membership en- rollment before Christmas. The Fifth ward is the banner ward, and if the others do a5 well as this district and as Plaiaville, there would be no par- ticular call to put an more speed. It is hoped that the canvassers in the other wards will put in more effort so as to catch up with Plainville and Al- derman Paul Nurzack’s ward. The alderman-captain is certainly making a fine record for himself in his dis- trict, and is receiving words of praise on all sides. Splendid work is being done by his assistants.
