War has not callous ed or dulled the sensibilities of. the of American army surgeons. Noth ing standi out finer or nobler than the tender care and earnest solicitude with which American military doc tors handle their soTdier patients. In a three-day trip through the Saint Mihie! sector the correspondent i of the Associated Press had many opportunities of observing the work of the American medical men. He v.ited a number of field dressing stations and also severeal hospitals ju.t back of the battle line, through which hundreds of wounded Amrei cans were passing. Disabled Amer'can soldiers, from the time their wounds are dressed at the advance casualty station tc the time they arrive at the 'last base hospital, receive the most sympathet-1 ie and tender care at the hands of the army doctors. They get better care and more attentive treatment than an average person would in peace times. To render the soldier free from pain, to make h'm comfortable, to cheer nis spirit, the American military doc tor will exhaust every resource, will sacrifice sleep and food and all per sonal thought of himself. Thousands of instances occur ev ery day where army physicians, so absorbed and so sympathetically in terested in their patients, will keep nieht after nijrht an anxious and un broken vigil over the progress of their condition and will rest only 'hen ordered to do so by a superior officer. Besides the use 6( anea3thetics the Yankee doctor, caring for his fight- comrade only as he would care for a brother, resorts to a hundred ''ther means of relieving the woun jed men's distress. In the actual tott.e zone he has to act as physi tan and nurse, for no women ar Emitted in the front lines. It is ways impressive to see the gentle, cautious way he places his patients in bed, the infinite pains he takes to "use them as little suffering as pos sole when applying or removing iressinifs, and how kindly and reas ,u'ntrly he speaks to them. The ambulance drivers and stretch f bearers spare no pains to see that jj sick and wounded in transit from front over broken French roads uffer no hardship or discomfort. Mr. and Mrs. W. J.

Officers of the Ger man army who occupied Thiaucourt until they were driven out by the Americans jn the smashing of the St. Mlhlel salient enlivened their stay in the little French village by con suming large quantities of French wines which they confiscated from the cellars of the French proprietors. From the wrne cellar of one Frenh man alone the Germans took 5,000 bottles of champagne, 10,000 quarts of red wines in bottles and drained 30 enormous casks each containing more than 6,000 quarts of various kinds of wine. The advance guard of the Germans helped themselves liberally to the wine. ILater the greater part of it was shipped back to Germany as loot of the German army. None of the civilians of Th'aucourt wras ever searched for valuables and owing to this fact all of those who remained in Thiaucourt when the, Americans entered the vil.age still had their jewelry and other articles of gold and silver. Many of the women had sewed material over the French gold pieces and wore them up on their outer clothing as buttons. 'Manv of the keepsakes and piec- es of jewelry and French gold coins were offered to the Americans by the villagers as souvenirs, but the Am ericans refused to accept them. The villagers said that two years ago the Germans stripped the church es of Thiaucourt of their bells and even took the metal "of the pipe or gans, all of which was sh'pped to Germany to be turned into material for war. The electric light plant likewise was dismantled of its ma chinery, and every bit of metal con tainable, was sent back as fast as it .could be assembled.

QUARANTINE NOT RAISED HERE FOR WHILE City council last night suspended indefinitely the date for the raising of the quarantine in Hickory on ac count of the presence of Spanish in fluenza, but it is hoped that the ban may be lifted by the first of the week. This action was taken because the epidemic had obtained a neAv hold in this community, 31 cases be ing reported on Thursday and Friday. When the crowds began pouring into Hickory on Tuesday to vote and the men mangled together as if there had been no danger, at was re alized that the danger, which had been almost entirely eliminated through carefulness, had returned through carelessness. This fear was realized in the reports to the health authorises. Hickory pastors had made prepa rations for reopening the churches to morrow and Superintendent Carver had arranged for the schools to re open on Monday, but these plans will he deferrprl "for spvprnl mnrp rlavs It is believed, however, that con-1 ' uitiuxis w.ii again oecome normal in f that place by wireless withdrew a few days and that the quarantine) r , , , . ,. . , , can be lifted in at least another week. , Marsha!

Germany's armis tice delegates were met by Marshal Foch yesterday morning at 9 o'clock in a railroad car in which the com mander of the allies has his head quarters, according to the Petit Par isian. When the German envoys had met the marshal and Mathias Erzberger, speak'ng in French, had announced that the envoys had been authorized to act for Germany and they in turn had been assured that Marshal Foch was vested with authority, the con ference proceeded to business. Marshal Foch then read the terms in a loud voice, dwelling upon each word. The Germans were nrenarpd by semi-official communications for the terms as a whole, but hearing set forth in detail the concrete de mands seemed to bring to them for the first t'me the relaiaztion of the extent of the German defeat. They made a few observations, merely pointing out the difficulties in the way of carrying out quite secondary clauses.. Then lErzeberger asjked for sus pension of hostilities in the interest of humanity. This request Marshal Foch flatly refused. The delegates having received permission to send a courier to Spa and communicate to j menceau. The German delegates are lodged in a country mans'on at Rethondes, six : miles east of Comp:egne, and 30 mi'es from Marshal Foch's headquar ters. LINING UP BOYS IN Professor Carver is rapidly lining up th'e Hickory boys for the United War Work campaign. Every boy of proper age will be given an op portunity to back our American fight ers by enrolling in the "Victory Boys Division." The chief aim of the "Victory Boys" effort is the development of boys in intelligent sacr;ficial invest ment of their ilives in behalf of th "great cause." The appeal is to earn and give. The gift of morey should result in a challenge to fud preparation for the largest usefulness in the recon- ; f traction days ahead and in a grow ing consc ousness of the spiritual significance of the gift of life and talent in the cause of righteousness. The "Victory Boys" division of the campaign should prove an inspira tion and st'mulus to increased effort by men in the general campaign. Learning of the sacrificial price the boys (pay on the "earn and give" basis, men and women wi.l give large amounts and work harder. Enrollment consists in signing a statement of purpose to "earn and 'g've" towards the work of the seven organizations ment oned in the Presi dent's letter on the opposite page. Each boy states the amount he wiil plan to "earn and g've"toward the total. Thus the boys' purpose is to share in the raising of the entire $170,500,000. Upon signing up each boy will re ceeive an enrollment button, also a home window banner as illustrated on the front cover.
