Resigns to Join Service

Salary Increases Made. Increase in the city tax rate from $1.10 to $1.21 was confirmed at the meeting of the city council Monday evening. The Increase was provided In the 1019 budget for $204,722. pre sented last week. "This is the first time in the twelve years of my administrations that the taxes have been raised," said Mayor Zimmerman," and I am sorry that it has had to be done. But under war conditions, with the increase of cost of everything, it seems the only thing to do, since to borrow money and then pay interest would be Just throwing that much away." Salary Increases, for the park sup erintendent and assistant civil engi- . neer, as recommended by the board of works, was approved by council. The park superintendent is to receive $900 and the asslstent engineer $1,200. Funds for installing the new heating system for the city building, which amount to $4,200, as recommended by the board of works, will be transfered from the funds allowed for parks, bublie buildings, sewers, etc., instead of increasing the budget Provision also was made for $100 additional to be al1 lowed for market Improvements. ; Strict parking rules rpovlding for a safety zone 100 feet from the corner ! of all streets from Fifth to Tenth along Main etreet was passed on suspended rules, in order that it might go into effect at once. "Safety Zone" sign will be nlaced at all corners. i Councilman Richardson, In report1 lng on the bridge situation, stated that the cause of delay in finishing the twork was due to lack of men. A sug gestion was made that advertising be j used at once. W. W. Anderson, city physician, presented his resignation in order to enter the service. The council accepted his resignation, expressing appreciation of his patriotic action. Dr. F. D. Bushe. who formerly was defeated for the office by one vote, was unanimously elected to filll the office. Resignation also was received from Ben Bulla, concllman of the Fourth ."Ward, who Ib lu the government service. A special meeting wil be held i next . Monday evening to elect his I successor. , An Invitation from Muncie for the .Park Superintendent, the mayor and other interested city officials to attend a Park convention August 11 and 12, "which suggested that the city furnish 'a motor party for the men, was reJetced by the council. The appointment of Dr. T. Henry Davis as city health officer to succeed Dr. Hunt, while in government service, was approved. Dr. Davis wishes to reMrs. Hunt to do the clerical work, in order that a generous portion of the sa'ary may turned over to her. He stated that he will resign as soon as Dr. Hunt returns to civilian life. Vacation of thirty days was granted Mayor Zimmerman by unanimous vote of the council. During his absence, the mayor will visit Washington, Philadelphia, Atlantic City. New York and Niagara Falls, Instead of taking the western trip as he had formerly planed. During his absence, the mayor has provided for Justice Marsh to preside at police court. Council will elect its tehmporary president at each meeting. Renewed recommendation by J. P. Dillon, superintendent of the city light plant that $600 bomb Insurance be taken out, was discussed by the councilman. Appraising the value of a direct current machine at the city light plant which Is useless to the city now was ordered by the council in order that it may be sold at once. The police department was Instructed to notify property holders that untlghtly weeds both on North D street and on Fifth must be cut Immediately. WILL CONFER ON WAGE ADJUSTMENTS (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Aug 6 Important conferences looking to the adjustment of conditions and wages in shipyards on the Pacific coast began here today at which representatives from the western plants and officials of the emergency fleet corporation were present. The conference will not undertake the determination of wages, hours, or conditions but will confine Itself to discussion of the necessary machinery to give prompt and certain effect to the decisions of the Macy adjustment board. Final adjustment rests with the shipbuilding labor board. Among the complaints to be consld ered are the failure of some yards to classify workmen as given in the schedule of the adjustment board and the action of certain yards in bidding for labor and resorting to other means to attract men into their plants from other shipyards. A two days conference will be held here after which the meetings will be transferred to Washington. Twelve Applicants for for Mail Clerks' Exam Twelve applicants will take the civil service examination for mail clerks which is scheduled for Aug. 10. It was thought that 'there would be a smaller number taking this examination than there had been for a number of years, but six applications have come in this week from Richmond men and a number of applications nave been sent from nearby towns. The demand for mail clerks this year is larger than usual and any man who is capable of qualifying Is urged to apply. A rich deposit of asphalt has been discovered in the Philippines located so near the water's edge that no inland transportation whatever is necessary. pamoop sj o.uas oj sasBao jeA9)qA.

A Hotpltal Corps ana oi tne bw. and Army set ud another wara, and enlisted men of the Army Medical Corps just twenty-rive days from the moment the site a deserted race track was selected by the Army medical men. On the twenty-fifth day the completed plant was turned over to the Army Medical Corps; medical officers and Army nurses moved In and before night 160 slightly wounded and gassed men were safe in bed In the spotless wards. The new plant, thereafter, became a "half way station" for the less seriously injured and thus left the beds in other hospitals free for the badly wounded. , The first suggestion from the Army that such a hospital would be useful caused the Red Cross headquarters to mobilize its "hospital circus crews," stationed at various points, and to request from the Army Medical Corps long trains of Its motor trucks to be dispatched to various lied Cross warehouses. In each of the wurehouses,- awaiting just such an emergency call, was stored in knockdown form everything needed to erect tent hospital units of 200 beds. Framework, flooring, canvas, windows, foundation supports, all cut to size, numbered and packed with every screw, bolt and nut needed to combine them, were packed in groups ready to be loaded in proper order on motor George, Co.

trucks. At the hnyfleld the parts needed first were on top of the load, while those to be set up last were at the bottom. One truck In each train of eighteen camions carried a complete operating room and equipment and its trailer was a traveling sterilizing room ready at a moment's notice to prepare instruments. The Red Cross "circus crew" so called because it transforms vacant fields Into hospitals about as quickly as a circus gang gets the "big top" up on a city block, are picked men trained for the special Job of putting up hospitals, taking them down and moving them to new positions. . Each man is drilled for a special Job. As soon as the pole men get their skeleton shacks bolted, canvas men put over the double tenting, floor men lay the sectional floors and window men put in the sashes. Others string the electric light wiring and hang the drop lights, and a special group furnishes experts on equipping the kitchens, building the operating rooms, Installing fumigating apparatus and setting up heuting stoves in the wards. Still others look after the water supply and sanitary equipment, shower baths and tubs. In a few days after the truck train starts from the warehouse, the American Red Cross is able to turn ROTARIANS HEAR CHIEF CAUPOLIGAN

Discussing the proposed exchange of American and German war prisoners in the Nachrichten of Hamburg takes it upon itself to advice the German government to reject all such overtures on the following ground. First the Americans by this agreement, would enjoy exceptional treatment which, besides being unfair to other prisoners would enormously facilitate recruiting in America. Second, assuming that the Americans have taken fewer prisoners than the Germans it would be natural for tho allies of America to make up the requisite number of prisoners' "which would indirectly enhance American reputed achievements." This, the article says, "should be prevented." Tho newspaper further demands that "as a retaliation of America's disgraceful entry into the war the idea of an exchange should be entered cvly after all other prisoners are released."

The floors and Bides come in place on a ground - trame-work. the finished plant over to the . Army doctors and the nurses and the hospital corps men who make the beds, light the tires, start the sterilizers going and are ready to receive our wounded. Those are "tent hospitals," but they are by uo means as temporary as that description would Indicate. They consist of wards 20x60 feet, each containing twenty-four beds. The wards are connected with each other and with the operating rooms and diet kitchens by covered passageways. The Boissoneau type tents are double, with free air space between the two canvases. This makes them cool in summer and warm and dry In cold or rainy weather. The framework to which the canvas Is attached is sturdy and the glass windows open and close. Such structures will last without special care for three years or more. Their great advantage, however, is that they can be put up quickly and therefore close to the front. Similarly the hospital can be moved with the troops it serves, whether they make an advance or are forced to fall back. To describe these structures, a brand-new gasoline-medical word has been coined. They are called in France "autochirs," "the hospitals that move on motor trucks." The "auto" is plain ; the "chir" is the first syllable of the word "'chirurcical." LOCAL RED CROSS PRAISED.

the old fashioned spelling of "surgical." The term is particularly apt for the truck and its trailer, which carry complete operating and sterilizing rooms on one trip. The "autochir" erected in twentyfive days at this race track "somewhere in France" is to be used prin clpally for those cases who can be evacuated In ten days or two weeks. Many on discharge will go back to the nearby front and thus avoid a long journey from a distant hospitaL Those who need longer treatment or additional convalescence are sent further south to the army or navy hospitals with special facilities for handling each type of case. So satisfactory has this hospital proved that the Red Cross expects to build additional units which will double Its capacity. The French officers who have visited this hospital, which grew like magic, comment often on the great change In the use of this field. The old betting booths are filled with bales of hospital supplies., The little thatched roof shelters where bettors met have been transformed Into a smoking pavilion. The names of the horses are washed off the betting board, but, as the courteous visitors punningly point out, the course never had on It more real "thoroughbreds" than it has today I It has been estimated that Noah's ark was 547 feet long, 91 feet broad, and 54 feet high.

INTO SIBERIA Details of Plans for Co-operation With Japan in Russia to Be Given Out Wednesday. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 6 -De-tails of the plan for American military co-operation in Russia will be announced by Gen. March, the chief ol staff, Wednesday. Acting Secretary of War Crowell said today these plans had progressed to the point where an announcement can be made but be preferred to leave to Gen. March the discussion of the military movements Involved. Secretary of the Navy Daniels may at the same time make an announcement of the extent of naval participation In the plan of co-operation of the United States and Japan with Czechoslovak troops in "Siberia. Secretary Daniels said Admiral Knight, commanding the Asiatic fleet, is at Vladlvostock with his flagship. The secretary declined to discuss the part the navy might take. State, war, and navy officials avoided discussion of the question of supreme command of the interallied military force which will be sent to Siberia to assist the Czecho-Slovaks, who have been under attack from armed German prisoners of war. It waa pointed out that the senior officer of the allied forces would be expected to take command under the rules governing such cases. Gen. Wood May Go. Previously It has been indicated that Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who has been left without a permanent command since he was denied overseas service, might command the American forces. Although only a major general and ranked by March and Pershing, who have the rank of general by detail, and Bliss, who has the rank of general by brevet, Gen. Wood is by seniority the ranking general officer of the United States army. If chosen to lead the American, force he might, as a matter of courtesy , be given supreme command. In other quarters It was Indicated that Gen. Baron Uyebara, chief of staff of the Japanese army, will be made supreme commander. Take Ten Siberian Cities. Russian embassy officials confidently predict that the intervention of the United States, Japan, and the allies will result in re-establishing a battle front against Germany in the eastern theater of war. Consolidation of the political factions in Siberia opposed to the soviet government and the liberation of ten Siberian cities from the Bolshevik! through the combined efforts of the Czech-Slovaks and the military organizations of the Siberian government were announced in dispatches received today by the embassy frcm Omsk.
