As a consequence, n l'll..r line of the.ve lioij.-es of 1101has spnrm; t;p all alone the fn;.t. parallel with and from seven to Jo miles n-hin.l tiie irine line.

On the lower side, toward the river, were the disinfection and laundry and waste-disposal plants, while hie double water tanks, oiip for the chlorination and the other for the storage of the water supply, towered up in the center of the camp. The situation was a i harming one. On one side of the valley, behind the camp, the ground rose quite abruptly until it reached a hieh, rounded hill, crowned with a quaint old stone-walled, jrray -roofed villape. and topped by a ereat rouRh-liewn. thick-walled church, half cathedral, half fortress in appearance, which waH a land mark for '.'0 mile around.

in the blue, wooded crest elear-cut aloni? the horizon, of a very famous and much fought-nver ride. We climbed next day up to the fortress like church, and found that nearly a thiid of its massive- eihtfoot walls had actually belonged to an ancient cathedral, which the cure proudly assured us was ;i famous holy place before Kheims was ever thought of. Indeed, according to hini. while the early French kiniis used to hold t heir showy public coronations in the upstart, parvenue. over-decorated cathedral at Ilheim. they always used to come up here afterward for a second ceremony, to make sure that the crown was properly blessed on so that it would stick. We were first shown a perioral plan of the hospital by the surgeon commanding. and then taken through it from the beginning the point where the Held ambulances swims up to the platform and delivered their burdens. First of all the wounded man, or "blesse," as the French call him, i carried into the lirst so-called sali de triage, or sorting ward. Here his name and regimental number and, if he is in condition to plve it, the address of his family, are taken; his side arms and cartridge belt are taken off and stored away, and his kit ba and personal belongings and any money or other articles of value are tied up in a neat canvas bat: and deposited in a rack until h need; them In the wards, or is ready to he sent on from the hospital. Then a hasty look-over from the surgeon sends him into one of the other two salles de triage that of the petits blesses if he is enly slichtly wounded, ami that of the grands blesses if he is more severely so. In the petits blesses division there is a dressing room -with junior surgeon and staff, and the dressings already applied at the post de secours, or held ambulance, are examined and replaced if necessary. Then, if the wounds are quite light, the blesse is sent into the huts or tents which form a sort of rest-camp, which is not under full hospital discipline, but where he is very well taken care of until, after a week or 10 days, he is tit to go back aain to the tiring; line. To the same place are sent th men who have suffered slight accidents or strains, or whoso digestion has given way. or who are out of son-- generally, without any fever or serious illness, but who would probably break dwn into something more serious if they were not sive-t a hit Je rest and special care an 1 fee ling. These so-called rest-camps, -or eclope" huts, have been found ertremely useful in this war, as a means of relieving and quickly building up again men, particularly of the older classes, who seem io be getting, in the expressive parlance of the street, "under the weather" or "off their fei." under the strain of trench life. A week of rest and comfort with hot baths and massage and s'ne extra delicacies in the way of food oft n does wonders for them and :vr.ü them back feeling quite ;;t a train.

It was announced from an authorized source that the reorganization of the headquarters staff has been completed and that the new high commands will enter upon their functions forthwith. The war minister, den. Verkhovsky, has informed the newspaper . presentatlves that the povernmu. t .s about to realize a series of important reforms with the object of creating a strong revolutionary army. It is authoritatively gtated that the povernment considers the proclamation of a republic merely as a declaratory act and does not propose to form a republican administration before the constituent assembly ia convened. The commission of inquiry sitting at Pskoff has ascertained that Gen. Klembovsky did not participate actively in the Korniloff revolt. The commission, therefore, declares that he is not liable to arnst. The evidence in the case has boen forwarded to Premier Kerensky. Russia, having recovered in a preat measure from the- effects of recent internal ditflcuHies. is preparing to make a firmer stand against the common enemy. It is announced that the leadership of the Russian armie has ben reorganized and that the fruition of reformative plans in the armies themselv is expected shortly. Premier Kerensky ind the war and marine ministers in his cabinet have gone to Mohjley. Kussian great headquarters, to confer with the military leaders. They also will see Cien.
