Experiment in Humanity
By DAVID SCOTT
News Chronicle War. Correspondent with the Franch Army
I HAVE just visited one of the curiosities of this war-a Red Cross town de- voted entirely to the care of the sick and wounded of the Army.
The town Is Phalsbourg, in Alsace, 25 miles behind the Front. It contains a casualty- clearing station, permanent hospitals, a great number of local ambulances, Red Cross, transport' parks, and store rooms for medical supplies-and nothing else belonging to the Army.
Not a single soldier in uni- form who does not belong to the Medical Service is allowed to enter Phalsbqurg. The town contains no military headquar- tors except those of the Red Gross Services.
Not a gun, not a machine-gun, not! a rifle, not an army lorry, not a single Item of combatant equipment is to be seen in its streets.
No member of a fighting unit (un- lesa sielt or wounded and disarmed),

But the stars fell down..

Normally the French Censor does not allow war correspondents to mention place names, but in this ense there is no objection.
No Excuse for Bombs

Dr. Isaac Harris, heart speela- list, gives the rules.
Ife is a director of Liverpool's "Keep Fl" hospital, where people of more than thirty-five can enrol as out-patients for regular ox- amination.
He said. at the first annual meeling of the hospital that since war began many women suffer- ing from war-strain had enrolled as out-patients.
Or 200 people examined at the hospital sixty-seven were suffer- Ing from definite illnesses: most of them had high blood pressure.
Lord Leverhulme made K pos- sible for this hospital to be open- ed after Dr. Harris had told him, that high blood pressure was the greatest disease of to-day, that it was more deadly than cancer.
