NO TIME FOR DIVISION In a recent address Vice-Presider Thomas R. Marshall emphasized th importance at this critical time of th spirit of unity among the people. 1 is no time for division of sentimer or action, but now if ever, the Amer i.. _u I,i i... ?-a.j Tr LetII JJL'UfJIC SUUUIU UU UIUtLU. VJ mtv States should have a stronger mear ing ever before. Mr. Marshall said: "Our country i facing critical times. We are on th very verge of war. And unless w prove by our lives and actions tha we are worthy of being a self-govern ing people there is great doubt o the outcome. It is necessary that w prove to the world that we are i united people, with one thought, on ?im and one principle." It is to be regretted that a fc\ United States Senators took it upoi hemselves to give aid and encourage uent to Germany by opposing th President's plan to arm our ships fo Jefence against submarines. As President Wilson said, their ac tion made our government con temptible in the eyes of the world Instead of presenting a united fron to Germany's attacks upon the live ind property of our people, Congre^ ?nd the President had their hand tied by a few men who arrogated t themselves the right to carry th white llag of surrender to Germany invulntit (li.mnriilii siml mnrilorni' policy. There is an old saying that it tak< a great many kinds of people to mak a world. It also seems to take a fe abnormal statesmen (?) to make u the United States Congress.

The Panama canal was dug shovel full at a time and it is tl greatest work of civil engineering the world. While not quoting the exact wor of this philosopher the idea advanc< by him is worthy of consideration ai is an incentive and should be inspir tion to our scchool boys and scho girls to apply themselves so that em day they may gat some valuab knowledge that will be useful the years before them. Patience and perseverance a qualities that the young should pra tice, for oniy through these qua ties of mind and heart can succe be won in the pursuit of educath or any other aim in lite.

The count proper is cotnpc sed of members of tl cubinet; the advisory commission composed of civilians who are reeoi nlzed leaders In certain lines, and tl chairman Is Daniel Wlllard, presldei of tho Italtlmore & Ohio Railroad con pujiy, whose special attention is d voted to tho transportation probleii that would face the United States 1 time of war.

Approximately six thou* ;rcei. _ red* of preachers, missionaries and Chrii e ice to the Methodist Church and tho r Commonwealth of South Carolina j and have established their places in the educational work of the State. To pay their indebteness, add to h their endowment and better equip them for the great work of Christian education it is necessary to raise, at once, three hundred thousand dollars. In order to raise this needed sum an educational campaign has been i- planned for the entire month of April, i Rev. F. II. Shuler, commissioner of education, will be in charge. He . other specialists in the country. This Is being accomplished through the creation of a committee of nine medical leaders in every state, who will have 1 direct charge of forinulutlng country organizations. All physicians are being classified according to the work that they do E. best. Surgeons who are especially pro' flclcnt in abdominal operations are j listed as such; ear, eye, nose and I thrniit (ino/>tu1luta oil *?

P- Proper Sanitation Important. It Is the object of the commission to le get the best men possible In the lines 'n In which they are best. The group lu will be "hand-picked." When It Is completed the medical men who agree lQ to become members will receive a ratle lag In the army or navy and will have T any special Instruction us to military work that Is necessary. 13 One of the Importunt questions being 13 considered Is that of sanitation, and all e* medical men who ure students of this work will be listed as such. Proper T sanitation In the mobilization of any J* army will save thousands of lives, as ,n Is demonstrated by a very recent exII" ample. c* In 1808, at the outbreak of the Span s* Ibli-Americun war, when upproxiinutely 10.r?,000 troops were mobilized for >f service, there developed In the various Id camps 20,700 cases of typhoid fever, re y suiting in many deaths. Last summer, i when 110,000?almost twice as many? e* troops were mobilized for service along ft the Mexican border, only 1-1 cnses of o- typhoid fever developed. The clrcutn* itl stances, In a general way, were similar, h Men were taken from a temperate cllo mate to a warmer climate and were as 11 semhlcd In large camps. The remurkuble decrease In the num- J s ber of cases of typhoid fever was duo l>- to nothing more nor less than the ?? adoption of proper methods of sunltait tlon. The medical eori>s of the army saw the mistakes of the Spanlsh-Amer? lean war aud profited by them. It Is >8 for the further development of such Improved methods that the medicul section Is now striving. *y Lessons F.rom European War. ly In this connection object lessons are 0- being derived dally from the war In Europe. Hundreds of reports nre being received from medical officers, >y mostly Americans, who are at the bats' tie fronts and in hospitals, us memif hers of the American umbulance corps ts and with vurlous Red Cross units. | Is These refer to the new ways of handIs ling the HI and wounded, the treatment ie of wounds on the battle fields and In 1- hospitals. All of these suggestions are : being tabulated for use in the future, in Out of them the committee hopes to deie velop a thoroughly up-to-date system J. for the United States. ll For example, one of the suggestions >- which Is regarded us highly practical is t. that for conveying wounded soldiers e- back from the battle lines to far dis- J r. tant hospitals without removing them | in 1 mm him streicncrs on wmcn iney nrsi s- ure placed. This is accomplished by an Interchange of stretchers, a very g simple method which never had been ir- put in operation before. In this way >t the strength of the patient, an impord tant factor for the assistance of his is recovery, is conserved. 1- When a soldier Is placed on a I s stretcher at the battle line he Is card ried to a waiting ambulance. The aina bulance, In turn, receiving the patient,' e- does not place him on one of Its own 1 n stretchers, but gives a stretcher to the ' men who have carried the man. If tbe . Is ambulance drives to a hospital train,' a- which Is the general custom where the re I railroad lines are Intact almost to the I trenches, the train gives the ambulance . fed | a stratetytr. accepting at the same Uw> j tal Campaign; s $300,000 In .

This system works throughout the system of transportation, so that a British soldier arriving In London, perhups on the snrne day he Is wounded, arrives on the same stretcher that was at the battle front. It also is the aim of the commission to work out a system of modern hospital trains, carrying wounded soldiers as fur from the buttle front as possible, out of the way of the operations and to a pluce where his recovery Is most likely. Delicnte operations cannot always be conducted on these trains, hut It Is possible to do certuln things which are important In suving a man's life, nuv.li un niO|>|UHK (no HOW OI 0100(1 from h broken artery, the amputation of an arm or leg or the like. To Learn Full Medical Resources. When the commission obtains a full list of medical officers throughout the country they will be asked to supply elaborate statistics on the medicul resources of the various states, hospitals, schools for the re-education of wounded soldiers, and factories equipped to manufacture medical supplies. The question of fludlug schools is one of the great considerations. Men who have been blinded will be taught to become 1 self-sustaining at some new line of work; men without arms will bo Instructed in some line of endeavor which requires no arms; each case will he taken up and worked out In Itself, I In a general effort to reduce to a mini- I mum the number of hopelessly cripplod men as the result of war. Arrangements also are being made to effect a standardization of medical supplies. Companies manufacturing certain types of medicines, surgical Instruments, splints, bandages and similar things used in medical work will be invited to send samples to the commission, to be placed on exhibition In Washington. From these will be developed the best practical appliances, and the various companies will be informed on what will be the needs In time of wur.
