nished a car comprising an essential unit of the train. One of these cars has been fitted up as a .modern operating room with every facility enabling surgeons and nurses to perform operations, while the other cars have -been converted Into wards with rows of beds for the accommodation of patients'. Complete surgical and ituvlical equipment similar to that found in large hospitals has been installed on the train, including stores of medicines, bandages, clothing, etc.. to provide, for the comfort of patients. The wards are equipped with an overhead conveyor for moving patients through the cars or to and from the operating room without interfering with others. Accommodations ar also provided for the corps of surgeons, nurses and hospital attendants. In arranging the general design Pr. IHinott has the assistance of other eminent Baltimore surgeon.". Oeneral Carl It. Cray, chairman of the Maryland Preparedness and Survey commission and president of the Western Maryland railway, under whose personal supervision the train was equipped. Is authority for the statement that the train will be held in readiness for any emergency. The train is a valuable unit in the gov ernment's preparedness program. Should warfare to be brought to our Chores, the hospital train would he of great assistance to the medical staff as a Meld hospital or for conveying the seriously wounded to base hospitals. It Is also likely to be used for relief work tn times of national disaster such as occurred recently at Eddyr y stone. Pa. The patriotic women of Maryland have completely equipped the train j with bed-clothing, bandages, convalescents' cloths, and through their efforts medicines have been furnished and other equipment installed. The train will be taken to Washington In the near future for an inspection by officers of the Medical Staff of the army and members of the War College.

.V MOHTIIV I'lUIUliVM." To the Kditor of Thh Times: Since our country has in ado a common cause with the Allies in their war against German military despotism, it would seem fitting that It eluuild endorse their terms of peace given In the note, to President Wilson, dated January These terms express in concrete form the. general principles proclaimed by our president on several occasions, namely, security for the rights of small nations and recognition of the principle that each people should determine for itself tha government under which It shall liv.j. Peace terms of the Allies do not threaten the integrity of Germany, guilty though it be of awful crime ngainst humanity. They provide merely for the rpturn of districts which had been taken from the French and the Poles. The principle of nationality is observed even as against Germany and, there is no intention of partitioning it. But the case is different with Germany's partners, Austria and Turkey. Both these empires are collectins of nations and fragments of nations, hold together by brute force and ruled by minorities. The Allies show their -thorough comprehension of the difficult racial problems of Central and Kastern Europe when they provide for freedom of Poland, the emancipation of Armenians and other Christian races of Turkey, the creation of a Jugoslav state, combining Serbia with the Serbs, Croatian."? and Slovenians of Austria-Hungary, the maintenance of the principle of nationality by Joining Austrian Roumanians to limimania, Italians to Italy, Russians to Russia, and finally fhe erection of independent Bohemia, which means the liberation of ten million Czecks and Slovaks from the Ilapsburff yoke. This is a program worthy of the high Ideals with which America entered the. war. We should endorse It! FERniXW'n YAT.KSCN'. iPS S. llrihman St.. Hammond. Ind.

this giant of the West, contemplating thesu figures for the first time really became conscious of his greatness. Tlipn Uncle Sam began to investi gate the debit accounts of his neighbors. Ho found that since the beginning of the, war August 1. 1914 (Jreat Britain had borrowed in excess of nineteen billions of dollars which. added to the natlonAI debt previously existing, made a total indebtedness In excess of twenfy-flve billion dollar, and which, by the end of 1917 would approach thirty billion dollars. lit; discovered that t!nce 1914 France had borrowed approximately eleven billion dollars, that fjerrnany had borrowed fourteen billions, which added to Its previous deht of one billion two hundred million dollars, made a new total, Ineludlng accrued interest, of appro Una U ly sixteen frlllion dollars. I! noted that since 1914 Itussla had borrowed about eight billion dollars; that A tin' i la ha1 borrowed In excess of six billions; Italy two and one-hnlf billions, and Hungary almost two billion dollars. He. computed that by the end of 1917 'Irent. Britain would have practl -ally one-third of her national wealthmortgaged; that France would have easily one-fourth, und that Germany, the chief of the Central powers, would soon have approximately one-fourth of Its assets mortgaged. He noted that Germany alone paj'S an annual Interest charge of approximately $s?,;.noo,nnn. Then Unele Pain realized that to date he had borrowed less than one two-hundredth, of his assets; that to go into debt to the extent his European neighbors have borrowed would require borrowing to the extent of nearly fifty billions. This volume of money would enable him to conduct five years of warfare with an annual expenditure equal to that which Great Britain is now making. Fo, in spite of the fact that the Liberty Ixian multiplies the national debt by seven, in spite of the fact that it Is the largest loan ever offered in the world's history, a comparison of the proposed debt, with our resources, compels the conclusion that such a volume of borrowing, under present conditions, will hardly impair, to the slightest degree, the nation's credit, and the successful consummation of this loan will not require anything like the financial strain that most European nations have already successfully undergone.
