Hollo- way, who has been business manager, and Mr. F. W. Prathcr, who has been editor. It appears that following a union meeting which had been attended by approximately two thousand people, an argument arose concerning. the la bor situation. The .result was that Mr, Prather lias withdrawn from the busH elopment of the town. MR. D. B. McRART RETIRING MAY OR OF ASHEBORO GIVES BAN r QET TO ADMINISTRATION On., last Friday evening Mr. D. B. McCrary, retiring, mayor of Asheboro gave a banquet at the Ashlyn Hotel to the officers of his administration and the Fjre Company of Asheboro. The heads, of the different departments told 4f the work in their department. Dr. EL L. MoflBtt emphasized the spirit of co-operation which had characteriz ed aU the . deliberations of the board, resulting in the inauguration of far reaching and fundamental policies and material accomplishments which would furnish a sound basis for future de nes 8 and has gone to his former home at Detroit, Michigan. It seems that Mr. Prather desired to suppress all news regarding the local union organ' ization while Mt. Holloway sought to" make public all the happenings in the realm of unionism. Ihey could not aferee so made each other the "keep or quit" propsition and cut the partner ship. Mr. Holloway, according to the announcement, is new the editor and general manager. He is also the ed itor of The Bulletin, of which Mr. Pra ther has been associate editor. The Bulletin for the past month has been published at High Point. with the quaint English custom of call ing all nurses "Sisters." A neat Eng lish lad, an orderly, came to where we were grouped in the salon and 'inquir ed "how many Sisters are there for dinner?" "One hundred and fifty," . I assured him gravely, "but we are not Sisters, we are nurses." He did not get the idea, however, and we continu ed to be Sisters right along, Later, we learned that this same little boat, with its lovable crew of bonnie Eng li sh lads, was sunk in the channel, with no survivors, on a return trip from Frr.nce. We crossed the channel that night somewhat in fear and trem bling, for no one was permitted to even lie down a moment without being fully dressed and wearing our life preserv ers. The captain did not even leave this to the chief nurses. He made al most hourly r6unds of inspection him self. At daylight, we anchored at La Havre and at last we were really in France.

I think-1 had forgotten to state that we bad left the men of .our own unit at a rest camp In England. A five mile ride brought us to our final des tinationBase Hospital No. e a full base unit from tho M. G. V, Boston. The hospital itself had been a French school for boyl and had been taken over first by the French themselves for a hospital and later turned over to the Americans. It was a large rambling stone structure, four stories high and the large school rooms and dormitories had been turned into wards. In addi tion to thia row after row of long wards had been built out from the main building and connected to It by board walks, until It looked like a small camp. The hospital was beautifully situated among the trees and flowering shrubs and we felt as if we had at last reached port The chief led us all duoty and tired to the nurses' mess hall, and, as It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, they served ta in regular New England fashiea, with de licious white beesxi and blackberry jam. I always knew after that junt how that bread and Jam tasted to the boys whenj?they came down from the front Aftenwe had refreshed ourselves we wereltaken some little way from the hospital grounds to our quarters a mostwonderful old chateau it was large and roomy, with wonderful grounds around it. We were all quar teredron the first floor as nearly all the Thorns were large enough to hold threeior four girls comfortably. So the net fay the "Southern QMs," as we were'Sfated-from "that day on,wwrtuir duty at Base Hospital No. 6 and with the exception of the two who were sent out on detached duty, one to a hospital camp during the "flu" epidemic, and one to a mobile unit at the front, there we stayed for the duration of the war. At first, our duties were very light. The Boston unit had been located here already for six months, so the hos pital was in good running order. Ad ditions to 'the same were constantly being made and our final number of wards was 101 with a capactiy of 5000 patients. Our work at this time consisted largely of patients from the neighbor ing camps the 18th. and 20th engin eers, and colored stevedores from the nearby docks, fractically all were suffering from pneumonia and a largo percentage of these had to be operated upon for empyemia. However, when I was placed on night duty I was given what we called the "Nut Ward" epi leptics, mostly, who had got by the ex amining board, thrown a fit on board ship, and had to be sent at once to the hospital on landing. Those patients stayed in the hospital for months some times before a return passage could be secured for them. A noticeable fea ture of this obscure disease was that when one patient fell into a fit prac tically all the others followed suit, so that my time was spent largely in stuffing wooden applicators between their teeth and in reviling the aston ishing inefficiency of medical boards in general, and in particular, those who made it possible for a nurse to travel 8,000 miles, at endless expense to the government, to nurse epileptics and mental deficients that a trained blind man should have recognized by touch ac being impossible for a soldier. C'est La Guerre, however. At this time, April, 1918, very few Americans were actually in the fighting but a little lat er our first convoy of wounded )en ar rived I rom t front and we went to work in good earnest These boys were mostly victims of hand grenade explosions and were wounded mostly sDout me legs and tups. One boy, a lad of 17, carried 13 separate wounds, be ginning with cuts behind his ears and on his cheeks, the muscles of his left leg were entirely paralysed. It usual ly took me thirty minutes to do his dressings. As the fighting grew fiercer at the front our convoys were more frequent and the wounds deeper and more serious, fractures and amputa tion became-numerotis and then the Balkan francos and Dakin tubes be came more popular than ever. After the morning dressings the nurse went around every two or three hours with a bottle of Dakia's solution and a large syringe and Injected enough of the fluid into the tubes to keep the dress ings wet This was done day and night so that the wet dressings did not ad here to. thewounds and consequently caused modi less palabesides keeping tre wound dean.
