RE» CROSS SOCIETY,
It turn of Canadian Nurse From;
Freueb Hospitals.
Mss M. Lindsay, the first
purse to arrive in Canada
since 'die outbreak of tsar, and
a greats -4e of the Royal Vic-
toria hospital, Montreal, who for
the past five months has been nurs-
ing wounded soldiers .at the hospi-
tal at Netully, north of Paris, tl..
arrived in the city and paid a visit
to the head office of the Canadian
Red Cress Soviety yesterday after-
noen, when she gave a graphic de-
scription of her experiences.
Miss Lindsay was nursing m
ris at the outbreak of war, when j
she at o e her services tot
nc offered ex d
the French. Government, and was
sent to Neuilly, where the has
nursed British, French, Germain
Morrocan and Algerian wounded,
At one time when the German
forces arrived almost before the
gates of Paris in their mad dash for
that city, before they were thrown

was only nine miles from the filing
line, and ,he could distinctly hear
the firing of the big guns.
Asked to give a description of the
wounds that the allied soldiers re-
ceived and whether the report that
the Germans were using Dunn Dum
bullets were ' true, Miss Itindeay
said that while slue had never ac-
tually seen a Duni Dum bullet, she
saw a great many explosive bullets
from the shrapnel shells. These
bullets, she explained, exploded as
soon as they penetrated the body,
and in many cases left terrible
wounds. She mentioned, however,
that the percentage of deaths from
wounds was very low, owing mainly -
to the improvement in modern sur-
gery and the splendid Condition of
the men before they left for the
front.
"The French soldiers," said Miss
Lindsay, "were a revelation to us.
They area very fine type of men,
and all appeared very eheerful.
Even when suffering from bad
wounds they seemed satisfied with
everything that was given `bheni, and
never complained or grumnbled.
They seemed imbued with. the spirit
of victory, and even in the darkest
days of the war when the. Germans
were so near Paris, there, was not
the slightest panic among the
French."
Asked as to how long she thought
the war would last, Miss Lindsay
said she did not think it could last'.
beyond next autumn, 'and she did
not see how there could possibly',
be another winter eampaign. , 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 responsibility rested upon
those in diharge of the institutions..
For instance, sometimes word
would be received that 1,000 pa-
tientt would arrive ip about a quar-
tel of an hour and .everything had
to be got ready for their reception
in that time. She said that every-
thing that human ageney could do
for the -men was being done," Trains
Jointed with provisiozis 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 leavethe
worst cases at the nearest hospital.
The slightly wounded men are.
taken to the south of France.
^ "9.11 through France," said Miss
Lindsay, "little stations have been,
erected where there are Red Cross
r,i
,t ns , ,a nd the wounded and •sick'
are given stimulants and warm
elothirn;g at the depots, and the
worst erases are kept there or a

Possible to send too many. Anti-
tetanus serum is also being used
in large quantities as many 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
needed."
Miss Lindsay said that the sol-
diers greatly: appreciated slams can-
dies of a.11 kinds and tobacco in all
forms, especially cigarettes. The
first thing the soldiers ask for
when convalescent is a eigarette or
a pipe. One item that should not
be overlooked is money for the
purchase of artificial limbs far the
men who have had an arm or a leg
amputated. Money is badly need-
ed for. these.
Miss Lindsay spoke in high` terms
oI the Canadian ''hospital at Le T'ou.-
quer, near Boulogne, and also of
the 'hospital in the .Latin quarter
in Paris, width lis proi o

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 thein seemed
very surly and seldom spoke,even
to each other, though they were not
disagreeable, and seemed to be well
provided for.
Miss Lindsay raid she saw a
number of aeroplanes flying over
the hospital, and she also saw an
iron dart which the Germans had
thrown from one of their .airships.
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 shown the sur-
gical supply booklet, compiled by
Mrs. Plu'mptre., Superintendent of
Supplies for the Canadian Red
Cross Society, and she thoroughly
endorsed it and made afew sug-
gestions which will be added to the
next edition, which will be publish-
ed shortly. Miss Lindsay has ap-
plied to the Government for a posi-
tion as a nurse in the next contin-
gent of Canadian nurses which will
leave Canada for the front in the
near future. •
Miss Lindsay is the first nurse to
rez oh Canada from the front since
the outbreak of war, and her vivid
description of conditions existing
near the firing line cannot . but im-
press al 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
show badly warm clothing and 'little.
luxuries such as candies' and to-
bacco are neededby the men. We
feelsure that the people 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 Eanpare.

piety in this city five cases of~sup-.

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
raee.
In the Royal Pavilion at Brigh-
ton, on the south eoast of England,
in. the lovely county of Sussex,
whose glories have been immortal-
ized by Rudyard Kipling and other
writers,hundredsIn-
dian su of wounded Inldiers 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 roam
where he used to hold his state
banquets and grand balls, wound-
ed and stricken mess now lie, look-
ing forward to their recovery, when
they will once again 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 so splendidly 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 and
bring comfort to the soldiers of the
Indian Empire. There are per-
haps many in this country who
wonder where the comforts 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 llhames-side residence of
Major Waldorf Astor, M.P., others
have gone to the hospital at Le
Touquet in France, while thou-
sands of them are now being worn'
by the soldiers actually fighting in
the trenches.
Although thousands of pairs of
socks, shirts, sleeping -jackets, etc.,
have been sent away to those who
need them, it . is not possible to
send sufficient to supply the needs
of those who will shortly be taking
their -places in the fighting line.
In the course . of the . next month
30,000 Canadian soldiers will be in
the battle line, and probably 500,-
000 reinforcements from the new
K;itchener's army. For the past
three weeks large reinforceinents
have continually been streaming in-
to France, and all these troops have
to be amply provided with warm
comforts , if they are to perform
their difficult and arduous -duties.
It remains with the generous peo-
ple of Canada to give, NOW, and
to give with a large land open
heart, as Canadians have always
done when °ailed upon to support
a worthy ' cause. Me following
stirring :words will surely come
home to Canadians at the present
hour. They were :written by a

A UXILIA ICY CLASSES.
Mentally Defective Children Should
Attend Them Early.
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
be of so high a grade that they ap-
pear normal until we try to teach
them in school. Then we discover
that .what a normal child readily
masters they cannot learn. The
limit of their mental age may be
ten or twelve -.--but they cannot
climb the ladder any higher.
Perhaps the best way to describe
the difference between a normal
child and a mentally -defective
child is to say that the normal child
will, when grown up, be indepen-
dent ,and able to care for himself,
to make a (home, and to oarry 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 them sympathetically the fu-
ture of the feeble-minded child,
and they at once acknowledge that
"Somebody lnuet always look out
for John." This is what must,be
done for the feeble-minded. The
con:amenity 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 is allowed to teMpt, tease),
ex wrong them, and where some
wise and kind person will always
know . where they are and what
they are doing. • One of the great-
est' advantages of this plan es that

hope the boy or girl of thirteen
years, for example, will soon "get
more sense." Normal children do
so, but the mental defective never
does "get more sense," The higher
faculttes never develop at all, or
only in a childish or rudimentary
form. It is characte'ristie of the
mental defectives that they lack
judgment, foresight, understand-
ing, self-control, regard to the fu-
ture, and the capacity to adjust
themselves successfully to the so •
-
diad and •economic conditions of
their environment,
The Mental Deficiency Act 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 frons an early age as to be
unable to guard themselves against
common physical dangers.
'2. Imbeciles: That is to say. per-
-sons in whose ease there exist
from birth or from an early
aM
e
mental defeetiveness not amount-
ing to idiocy, yet so pronounced
that they are incapable of managing
themselves or their affairs, or, in
the ease of ' •children, of being
taught to do so.
3. Feeble-minded_ persons: That
ib to say, persons in whose ease
there exists from birth •or from an
early age mental defectiveness not
amounting to imbecility, yet so pro-
nounced that they require dare, ssu-
pervision, and control for theirown
protection or for the protection of
others, or, in the ease 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
sehools,
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 Ur -no deter-
rent effect.
Moral imbeciles are sometimes
recognized as such inschool, but
frequently their defect are more
evident in later life. Their vanity:,
lack of affection, anxiety to at-
tention, and desire to display the
little they know, as well -as the ab-
sence ef moral 'sense, are dharae-'
teristics. They usually do well in
institutions, land fshould always be
under permanent care; otherwise
they- are a great danger .to the
