By WILLIAM G. SHEPHEBD
GHENT, Sept. 21
There Is no way to get lo Ghent but
bv the Red Cross tialn, and the doctor
told me to climb In. Ghent was four
miles away.
Tour miles back the German artillery
was booming. German shells were smash
ing buildings In Mechlin, thev had
wrecked the cathedral altar, entering
through the gteat, colored windows,
houses and homes were going down at
every deep booming sound that i cached
our cars. And in this Red ( ross train
were the 2o0 patients who had been in
,I.A U!..l- l ....1.11..
i Liit.- iiusiuiuia at -Hcimui.
"We had to take them out," explained
the doctor, "because the shells were fl-
ing around the building. It's probablj
blown up by this time
i "But there's a big hospital waiting for
I them at Ghent," the doctor said, "and
we'll fix them up all right."
We walked thiough the car and aeios
the platfoims to the next car. The doc
tor pointed his finger toward an uppct
sti etcher In a coiner.
"Dead," he said.
I looked and saw nothing but a sheet
1 covering a form that swayed giueaomob.
. "It's a soldier who was shot through
I tho head. He was djlng thN afternoon."
the doctor continued, "but we biought him
along. I suppose moving has killed him,
hut what were we to do' We could n t
stay at Mechlin " He showed me anothor
wounded oUllri, who was oty neatly
gone Theio were great bandages about
his chest.
"Shot thiough tho lungs," oxplalned the
doctoi. "Those muses nro trying to stop
tho pain Tor him n.nd let him out easily
They II probably give him too much, but
ho can't live anyhow "
When we reached Ghent two hours later
there was a sheet ovei him Tor him the
greatest war In tho hlstoty of the world
had ended during the ilde on the ttnln
FDW TATAI.I.Y WOUNDED
Theie were not manj serious!) wounded
8-oldlers Moat of them had been shot In
the hands, or arms One man tojd me why
all Jie Injured seemed to be onlj slightl
huit.
"It's because Us only the fellows who
can get ivwny without help that aio able
to escape. Vv e had to leave our wounded
on thr field I've had some who weio onlj
thot In the teei beg me to kill them ns
wo ipfrented. tn s-avo them fiom tho Get
irnn1' You innt usi out icvolver on
a comrade Tho onlv thing wo could do
was to stlik out Unguis in out eaia and
ki.p on, hoping that the Germans wonIJ
move yourself, you're through dead."
THE AG CD IN FLIGHT.
Ten cars of the train were filled with
old men and women. Some of them
were Incredibly old and bent They
came from the homes for the aged at
Mechlin A nurse pointed out one woman
who wa3 more than 100 years old nnd
who had been nllvc when Napoleon's
conquest of Eutope was slipping away
from him. These old folk, who years
before had quit their work and had
found a quiet, peaceful corner In beau
tiful Mallnea In which to die, were being
taken away by the Red Cross to save
from German shells the few short
dajs of their ending lives.
AVe drew into Ghent late In the eve
ning. Soldiers and nurses took the help
less from the cars and started them In
automobiles and vehicles of all sorts for
the hospital. They lifted down the two
white-sheeted forms and a black wagon
took them uivaj
Even while this was being done and
while the old folks waiting in wheel
'chairs were chattering like children
about the Prussian war in 1S70, the citi
zens of Ghent were crowding the depot
ttylng to get awny from the city be
cause they had heard that the Germans
were coming.
'There's panic everywhere," said a
would-be fugitive. 'I can't find any
plnco to live "
"And I can't find anj place to die.'

Secretary McAdoo's Stric
tures Not Aimed at East
ern Institutions, Which
Have Aided Business.
1 "Secretary McAdoo had better mind his
own business and not meddle with the
business of the banks. He Is nosing nbout
too much." This observation was made
yesterday by a Philadelphia banker In
discussing the assertion of the Secretary
of the Treasury that some banks were
hoarding reserves and exacting exorbi
tant Interest for emergency currency.
This banker Is comparatively a oung
man and, perhaps, that explains the heat
of hlH utterance. Older bankers were not
so vehement In their oxpresslons All
united In saying that the secrotar)'s as
sertion wns not aimed at nil) Philadel
phia hank, because the banks of this
clt), as their statements show, are not
hoarding their reserves
A fact that throws, what seems to bo a
convincing light on this mnttei, was men
tioned b) a bank president This was
that the conjoined cash reserves of all
tho Philadelphia National banks nro
little, If at all, above tho legal require
ments I-'or seven weeks after tho closure
of the Stock Exchang", the cash reserves
sank steadily. Before that sinking spell,
thev were unusually high, but the long
drain reduced them to a point, probably,
below the legal requirements Fot the
last three weeks they have been gaining,
hut the gain has come nowhere near
making up the losses
Tho bank statement has omitted the
Items of legal requirement and surplus
foi the last 10 weeks Attention wns
called also to the fact that the cash
reserves of tho New York Clearing House
bdnks are far below tho legal require
ment, the deficit at present being nearlv
tX,0 000.000.
'That shows piett) plalnlv that the
banks In the large Eastern cities hae
not been remiss in their dut nnd are
not hoarding, a banker remarked
The piesldent of a leading national
bink said that no Philadelphia national
bank could be Included among those at
tacked b) Seeretar'v McAdoo It Is onl)
Western and Southern banks which are
in question.' he said Ono Western in
stitution, I have learned, has a 10 per
cent, reserve
B inkers here agreed In sajlng that the
Phllndeljjhli banks weio looking after
their customers Chailes S Calwell

Bank, said

piactlce. 1 think that the Seeretarv Is
Justified In reprimanding them a little
anil that his announcement will probablj
have good effect As tdr as Philadelphia
is concei noil, the Soeretar) remarks have
