HORRORS AS SEEN DY AN AMERICAN
TRAINED NURSE IN FRANCE
1 am so tired when night comes, I
crawl into bed and to sleep. Today I
called n halt and have had half a day
as my back and legs were getting be
yond use As you will guess 1 am
working with the “American Ambul
ance.” We have now fully three hun
dred—or had when 1 came off' at one
o'clock, but the ambulances, tel) in all
left for the front so by this time 8P.
M. We may have forty more, as that
is the number they can bring at one
time. It is very interesting but | will
not give you any particulars they are
too terrible. I was "relieving" in a
room. Englishmen They were brought
in yesterday I asked. "When were you
shot
"l.ast Sunday."
"Where have you been since as it
Is just a week?”
"Oh lying around here nod there."
They had not had their shirts or
clothes off for five weeks llieir legs
were shot to pieces; some were shot
through the cheat; others through the
eyes or jaw; each one so had it is hard
to say which is the worst, dirt, neg
lect, no food. I found one poor little
Englishman with a piece of dirty bis
cuit and two green apples In Ills pocket
and was told that was all an.\ of them
had had to eat for four days, as the
Qormutis kept them buss night and
day.
< >ne man, hit by a sharpnel, paralyz
ed from Ills neck down, thinks he Is
all there Is left of tils regiment They
were blown up by bombs from (Jerman
aeroplanes, 1 am trying to think which
one of the three hundred has a chance
to get out of here uncrippled Not one

We are all working without pay and It
is certainly a fine sight MrS W K
Vanderbilt is one of the foremost She
is on duty at 7 30 A. M. and one of the
last to leave. She serves food, emptlea
urinals, helps arrange the men, feeds
them, does In fact anything she can.
and Is a woman of resources and great
energy. Other men and women of cul
ture and means are here, cleaning up
the beds of those paralyzed, lugging
heavy trays of dishes and food, help-j
Ing with operations and dressings, al
ways ready, alert, anxious. sytnpa
thtic, and so gentle with some poor nlil
Algerian or member of the Cold stream
Guards The opportunity to help, to
cheer, to support and encourage, how
can I tell you what il Is! We had
news on Sunday that there were eight
thousand seven hundred at Limoges,
dying on stretchers or straw, with
twenty nurses and three doctors to
look after them. We came out here in
the last of August. Then after about
a week In which we put things In
order, our work began. Some times we
have tlfty or eighty brought in at oik
time Picture the work. Each man to
he undressed, bathed, wounds exam
ined and dressed, fed and operated on
Each and all say "No we do not want
to return t« the front. "We have had
enough." Now If there is another war
after this massacre, then the whole
human race should be blown to pieces,
and completely wiped out of existence
Sentiment and decorations are tine
things perhaps, if one likes wind and
talk, but come out and see the suffer

VA1.DKSS Senutor l!. b\ Millard
will leave on the steameY Mariposa for
Seattle to attend to the purchase of
Machinery for the different mining
properties in which he is Interested.
|-Mr. Millard will also interest capital In
the new claims which he has under
bond and intends to prospect to ascer
tain the value
The senator states that the report
of hard times in the t’nlted States will
not deter him: that there is plenty
of money Idle in the banks seeking
Investment provided the investment Is
certain and of that he is confident ns
the properties he has under bond are
i all exceptionally promising.
On his weekly trip from the lower
liver, Cy Noble, the expressman,
readied Fairbanks recently carrying
one passenger. Ho reports that the
| mining men of Hot Mprlngs are deeply
Interested In the new strike In the Tol
ovana, and fully 10 or 20 of them have
•started for the diggings or contemplate
stampeding within a short time
Noble reports that the men whom
John Campbell sent out from Mlnto re
port that an excellent winter trail is to
be had. There are a number of lakes
and the trail over these is nil that
could be desired The trip from the
Mlto roadhouse to the new diggings
was made In 18 hours actual traveling.
Under those conditions. Noble thinks
that freight could be hauled in more
cheaply by that route, and on Ills next
trip to Fairbanks will take in a load.
The majority of the Hot Springs men
who arc reported to have gone to tin
new diggings came to Fairbanks and |
left by way of Olnes, but Noble reports !
that the reason for this was that they
could not obtain their ouiliis along'
the To nuns - Fairbanks trail
