Corpselike Silence of the Still Living
Paralyzes One With the Icy
Horror of a Hideous
Nightmare.
By J. H. PHILLIPS.
(Chicago Evening Post.)
Montereau, Northern France.—It Is
the unearthly silence of the wounded
which appalls one!
The ambulance trains—strings of
rough box cars—pull in from the front.
And there on the floor, amid the straw,
lie the bandaged men, voiceless and
motionless.
If only the nondescript lumps cf hu-
man flesh writhed about and moaned,
the ghastly spectacle could not be so
hideous as Is this corpsellke silence of
still living men! It paralyzes one with
the Icy horror of a nightmare. Charnel
trains, not hospital trains, those con-
voys might be called.
Two cars’stand sidetracked at the
station of Montereau, where there is
situated a hospital base organized by
Dr. L. Haden Guest, the famous Eng
lish surgeon, and his wife, In co-op
eratlon with the French Red Cross.

night.
About two tn the morning—It was
black outside and bitterly cold—we
heard a commotion on the adjacent
track—whistles and the creaking of
brakes. And before the Incoming train
of wounded had jerked itself painfully
to a standstill our head doctor was
hurrying up the rails, a flickering lan
tern tn hand.
"How many?” he called In French to
the guard.
"About two hundred, monsieur,”
came the reply from a dim silhouette,
fumbling at the door .of a car. “The
worst cases are in here, monsieur
Some of em's dead, I guess, by now."
The doctor clambered into the car
and picked his way among the men
with his lantern. The nurses and a
number of bearers with stretchers had
already gathered about the door.
The worst cases were taken out to
an ill-smelling freight shed across the
tracks—the emergency hospital, where
the nurses, kneeling on the ground,
dressed the wounds. A hundred oth-
ers were sent uptown to the main

Glendale, Cal.—In honor of her
birthday anniversary and because she
had succeeded in losing forty pounds
as the result of a strict dieting sys-
tem. Mrs. Mattie Wood of No. 212
North Isabel street, served a dinner to
seventy-five of her friends recently,
the dinner being arranged on the scale
of calories.
Each guest drew a number, corre-
sponding to a certain dish on the ta-
ble. Each dish measured exactly 100
calories. Consequently, some of the
guests drew half a dozen beans, some
a diminutive piece of pie, others a
huge tray of lettuce.
The meal was % replica of those
which Mrs. Wood was allowed when
on her diet, and Is absolutely guaran-
teed to take off superfluous avoirdu-
pois.
Some of the guests were seen hur-
rying around to the restaurants and
Ice cream parlors when the party
broke up, and all admit that they lost
weight.

VII.—Hon. Elihu Root
On Woman’s Sphere
The question of Woman Suffrage is an issue before
the American people. Twelve states have adopted It,
four more states vote upon It this fall and It is strongly
urged that it become a platform demand of the national
political parties. It is therefore the privilege and the
duty of every voter to study carefully this subject. Hon.
Elihu Root, In discussing this question before the Consti-
tutional Convention of New York, recently said in part:
"I am opposed to the granting of suffrage to women,
because I believe that it wo aid be a loss to women, to all
women and to every woman; and because I believe it
would be an injury to the State, and to every man and
every woman in the State. It would be useless to argue this if the right of
suffrage were a natural right. If it were a natural right, then women should
have it though the heavens fall. But if there be any one thing settled in the
long discussion of this subject, it is that suffrage is not a natural right, but Is
Blmply a means of government, and the sole question to be discussed Is
whether government by the suffrage of men and women will be better gov-
ernment than by the suffrage of men alone.
Into my Judgment, sir, there enters no element of the inferiority of
woman. It Is not that woman Is Inferior to man, but It Is that woman is
different from man; that In the distribution of powers, of capacities, of
qualities, our Maker has created man adapted to the performance of certain
runctloni In the economy of nature and society, and woman adapted to the
performance of other functions.
Woman rules today by the sweet and noble Influences of her character.
