Lindsay, the first nurse to arrive in Canada sinco °^e outbreak of war, and a gradirjita of the Royal Vic- toria Hospital, Montreal, wlio for the past five months has been nurs- ing wounded soldiers at the hospi- tal at Neuilly, north of Paris, h«>; arrived in the city and paid a visit to the head oSice of the Canadian Red Cross Society yesterday after- noon, when she gave a graphic de- scription of her experiences. Miss Lindsay was nursing in Pa- ris at the outbreak of war. When she at once offered her services to the French Government, and was sent to Neuilly, where she has nursed British, French, German, Morrocan and Algerian wounded. At one time when the German forces arrived almost before tilie gates of Paris in their mad dasli for that city, before they were thrown back by the Allied forces at the battle of the Marne, Miss Lindsay was only nine miles from the fixing lino, and she could distinctly hear the firing of the big guns. Asked to give a description of tihe wounds that the allied soldiers re- ceived and whether tbe report that the Germane were using Dunj Dum bullets were true. Miss Lindsay said that while she had never ac- tually seen a Dum Dum bullet, she saw a great many explosive bullets from the siirapnel shells. These bullets, she explained, exploded as soon as they penetrated tiio body, and in many cases left terrible wounds. Siie mentioned, however, that the percentage of deaths from wounds wais very low, owing mainly to the improvement in modem sur- gery and the splendid condition of the men before they loft for the front. "The French soldiers, " said Miss Lindsay, "were a revelation to us. They are a very fine type of men, and all appeared very cheerful. Even wlion suffering from bad wounds they seemed satisfied with everything that was given them, and never complained or grumbled. They seemed imbued with the spirit of victor.v, and even in the darkest days of the war wlien the Germans were so near Paris, there was not the slightest panic among the French." Asked as to how long aha thought blie war would last. Miss Lindsay said sihe did not think it could laat beyond next autumn, aoid she did not see how there could possibly be another winter campaign. The general feeling in France appeared to be that the war would be over by the autumn of this year. Miss Lindsay spoke in high terms of the condition of the hospitals, but remarked that at times a heavy responedbility rested upon those in charge of the institutions. For instance, sometimes word would be received that 1,000 pa- tients would arrive in about a qiiar- ter of an hour an<l everything had to be got ready for tiheir reception in that time. She said that every- thing that human agfcncy could d« for the men was being done. Trains loaded with provisions go as near to the firing line as possible, and those trains take on them one nurse, one doctor and two auxiliar- ies. They bring the -wounded back from the trenches and leave the worst cases at the nearest hosupital. The slightly wounded men are taken to the south of France. "All through France," said Miss Lindsay, "little stations have been erect.ed where there are Red Cross trains, and the wounded and sack are given stiimulants and wanm clobhlng at the depots, and the worst cases are kept there or a few days until they are fit to tra- vel." Miss I^indsay said the motor am- bulances have done a magnificent work. They go close to the firing line and bring back the wounded as quickly as pos«ible, so that they are attended to with all poAsihle speed. We hod 100 motor amibu- lonws in our hospital and they were sent to the firing line in tinits of twenty. When they rciacilied the ^ne of operations warm olotiliinK n'as distnouted to the men and tlso KMxl, and the wounded were roupht back. Our hospitals gwn erally went io the battle zone round Soisson*.

Anti- tetanus serum is also being used in large quantities as noany of the soldiers have suffered from this disease. Flannel shirts, socks and money for cholera belts are badly needed. It is hard for those who have not been to the front to fully realize how badly these things are .,ee4ed." Miss Lindsay said that the .sol- diers greatly appreciated hard can- dies of all kinds and tobacco in all forms, especially cigarettes. The first thing the soldiers ask for when convalescent is a cigarette or a pipe. One item that should not be overlooked is money for the purchase of artificial limbs for the men who have had an arm or a leg amputated. Money is badly need- ed for these. Miss Lindsay spoke in high terms of the Canadian hospital at Le Tou- quet, near Boulogne, and also of the hospital in the fjatin quarter in Paris, which is provided for by La Press of Montreal. Both these institutions are doing an excellent work. In regard to the attitude of the German wounded. Miss Lindsay said the majority of them seemed very surly and seldom spoke, even to each other, though they were not disagreeable, and seemed to be well provided for. Miss Lindsay said she saw a number of aeroplanes flying over the hospital, and she also saw an iron dart which tlie Germans had thrown from one of their airsliips. She was shown a piece of iron from one of these darts, about an inch long, which had been taken from a little girl's leg. This little child had to have her limb amputated. The missile struck her while she was playing in the streets of Paris during one of the air raids of the Germans. Miss Lindsay was sihown the sur- gioal supply booklet, compiled by Mrs. Plumptre, Superintendent of Supplies for the Canadian Red Cross Society, and »he thoroughly endorsed it and made a few sug- gestions which will be added to the next edition, which will bo publish- ed shortly. Miss Lindsay has ap- plied to the Government for a posi- tion as a nurse in Uie n^xt contin- gent of Canadian nurses which will leave Canada for the front in the near future. Miss Lindsay is the first nurse to reach Canada from the front since the outbreak of war, and her vivid description of conditions existing near the firing line cannot but im- press all Canadians, especially as so many of 'our brave soldiers are probably now, if not in the actual firing line, very near it. She has come right from the scene and tells how badly warm clothing and little luxuries such as candiei! a.iid to- bacco are needed by the men. We feel sure that the i)eople of Canada will rise to the occasion, as they have done so often before, and take the words of Miss Lindsay to heart. Amongst ,the gallant soldiers of the Empire who are now fighting for the cause of freedom, and to whom the Red Cross Society is sending a large assortment of com- forts of all kinds, are the intrepid fighters from the Indian Jimpire. From the licadquarters of the' So- ciety in this city five cases of sup- plies have been sent this week to the Indian soldiers, and from now SEEDS sow FBROUSON'S HiaH QRADB It !â-  Important lliat you buy th« bent BBodB. tlie Boeds that ar« sure to grow.

No men have borne the trials and sufferings of this terrible war with greater fortitude than the 'brave members of the Indian expedition- ary force. Day after day they have crouched in the water-logged trenches side by side with their British comrades, and they have suffered perhaps more than those from the old land, for they are used to a warmer and drier coun- try, dotted with mountain ranges, where battles are fought without the need of digging trenches. Yet these men have not complained, but have performed their duty with a spirit worthy, of a splendid race. In the Royal Pavilion at Brigh- ton, on the south coast of England, in the lovely county of Sussex, whose glories have been immortal- ized by Rudyard Kipling and other writers, hundreds of woimded In- dian soldiers are now under the treatment of Red Cross nurses. This palace was once the country home of King George IV., who erected it himself, and in the room where he used to hold his state banquets and grand balls, wound- ed and stricken men now lie, look- ing forward to their recovery, when they will once agafn be able to draw their kukris in the name of the great Sahib or die for the Sir- kar. It will be a source of gratitude and satisfaction to the people of Canada, who are sosplendidly sup- porting the Red Cross, to know that the comforts that they have made and those purchased with their donations, will find their way to the hospital in Brighton Aand bring comfort to the soldiers of the Indian Empire. There are per- haps many in this country who wonder where the comfort* they have made have really gone. It will not be necessary to say that everyone of them has been sent where most needed, but it may be of interest to them to know that many of them have gone to the Duchess of Connaught Hospital at Cleveden, Taplow, Bucks, the beautiful THiamefi-side residence of Major Waldorf Astor, M.P., others have gone to the hospital at Le Touquet in France, while thoti- sands of thcan are now being worn by the soldiers actually fighting in the trenches. Although thousands of pairs of socks, ahfirts, sleeping- jackets, etc., have been sent away to those w^ho need them, it is not possible to send sufficient to supply the needs of those who will shortFy he taking their places in the fighting line. In til" '.ourss of the next month ;10,000 Canadi«i' soldiers will-be in the b.».ttle l!>'e, und probably 600,- 000 reinforcements from the new Kitchener's army. For the past th'-oc v.-eeVa large reinforcements have continually been .streaming in- to France, and all these troops have to be am,ply provided with warm comforts if they are to perform their difiicult and arduous duties. It remains with the generous peo- ple of Canada to give, NOW, and to give with a large and open heart, as Canadians have always done when called upon to support a worthy cause. Tlie following stirring wordis will surely come home to Canadians at the present hour. They were written by a nurse who has for nmny weeks been performing her task among the wounded not far from the firing line. She says :â€" "They were up to their waist* in water in the trench- es. Anything that can lye sent will be very welcome, as they need socks, shirts, and woollen gloves. One of our men with a huge hole in him was singing 'The Maple Leaf when carried on a stretcher." The following interesting account is given of the life among the In- dian wounded in the Brighton pavilion :â€" "Should anyone be dis- p()8ed to regard a visit to our In- dian sick and wounded as some- thing sad and unpleasant to be faced for duty's aialce, it would be well t-o aasure him at t>ncB that he will be agreeably surprised.

Ever since the Red Cross Society started its ac- tive work on the outbreak of hos- tilities, the appeal sent far and wide has been answered in no un- certain manner. But great is the need still, perhaps greater than it ever was before. The more men that take their places in the firing line, the more comforts will be needed, and as the war continues so will be tlic need for comforts and money continue. It is the ambition of the Society that in every village and town in Canada should be a branch of the Red Cross Society. In the majority of large towns and in many of the villages branches have already been formed, but there are still a good number where no branch has been started. The Society will be glad to hear from anyon einterested in the work who may be willing to | organize or assist in the organiza- ' tion of a branch in some place where this has not already been done.

Mentally Defective Children Should Attend Them F.arly. Mentally-defective children may be of so low a grade mentally that any one can see at a glance they belong to the class formerly called idiots, or imbeciles, or they may l>e of so high a grade that they ap- pear normal until we try to teaoh them in school. T\ien we discover that what a normal child readily masters they cannot learn. Tlie limit of their mental age ma.v be ten or twelveâ€" but they cannot climb the ladder any higher. Perhaps tlie best way to describe the difference between a normal child and a mentally-defective child u, to say that the normal cihild will, when grown up, be indepen- dent and able to oare for himself, to make a home, and to carry on work without continual direction and supervision. This the feeble- minded child cannot do. Mental defectives never grow up. They are always dependent. Even their own parents recognize this, though naturally one does not press them to say it in words. But discuss with tliem sjinpathetically the fu- ture of the feeble-minded child, and they at once acknowledge that "Somebody must always look out for John." This is what must be done for the feeble-minded. The community must provide a perma- nent home for them where the best may be made of them, where they may be trained to good and useful work and so be made happy and at least partly self-supporting, where no one i» allowed to tempt, tease, or wrong them, and where some wise and kind person will always know where they are and what they are doing. One of the greats est advantages of bhia plan is that mental defectives so cared for would have no posterity. Ilhe earlier these children are taken into Auxiliary Classes the more can be done for them, and the more can be done by them. When they are in their teens much more can be done for them than when tliey are over twenty, but the best time for training is before they enter their teens. Numerous in- vestigations by experts have sihown that the mental age of nearly all the feeble-minded is less than twelve years. They age early, sometimes appearing to be sixty years old when they are less than forty. The higher faculties are the last to develop. ParenU and friends express this in speaking of their normal children by aajdng that they hope the boy or girl ot thirteen years, for example, will BOOn "get more sense." Normal cbjlldireii do so, but the mental defective tiever does "get more sense." The higher faculties never develop at all, or only in a childish or rudimentary form. It is characteristic of the mental defectives that they lack judgment, foresi^t, understand- ing, self-control, regard to the fu- ture, and the capacity to adjust themselves sucoessfuUy to the so- cial and economic condition-s ol their environment. The Mental Deficiency .\ct gives legal definitions of the different grades of mental defect as follows : 1. Idiots: That is to say, persons so deeply defective in mind from birth or from an early age as to be unable to guard themselves against CT>iBB10n physical dangers. 2. Imbeo'iCS-: That is to say. per- sons in whose case- there exista from birth or from an early ago mental defectiveness not amount- ing to idiocy, yet so pronounced that they are incapable of managing themselves or their affairs, or, in the case of children, of being taught to do so. 3. Feeble-minded persons : That is to say, persons in whose case there exists from birth or from an' early age mental defectiveness not amounting to imbecility, yet so pro- nounced that they require care, su- pervision, and control for their own protection or for the protection ol others, or. in the case of children, that they by reason of such defec- tiveness appear to be permanently incapable of receiving proper bene- fit from the instruction in ordinary schools. 4. Moral imbeciles : That is to say, persons who from an early age display some permanent mental de- fect, coupled with strong vicious or criminal propensities on which pun- ishment has had little or no deter- rent effect. Moral imbeciles are sometimes recognized as such in ^school, but frequently their defect are more evident in later life. Their vanity, lack of affection, anxiety t-o at- tention, and desire to display the little they know, as well as the ab- sence of moral sense, are cdiarao- teristics. They usualilv do well in institutions, and should alwaj-s be under permanent care ; otherwise they are a great danger to the community. â€" Helen MacMurchy, M.D., Inspecto-r of Auxiliary Ctasses for Ontario. ♦ .
