LOST SENSES
WHEN SHELL
LONDON, July 1.—When he found
that speech, which had been lost
through concussion, had returned to
him. Private Pointer of the Txmdon
Rifles, spent a whole night in the
general hospital nt Lincoln talking to
himself. He feared to lose it if he did
not keep it up, yet he did not want
to call out to the night sister for fear
she might faint. So he waited until
the attendant came around with his
morning cup of tea, then remarked:
"Shove It down there, old chap." For
this he wns showered with tea by the
agitated attendant.
Pointer’s case has been of intense
interest in the hospital, as a case of
loss of speech, taste and hearing, due
to the explosion of a giant shell near
him in the battle line. He now seems
to be recovering his hearing also.

ENGLISH WIVES
sura
LONDON, July 1.—Much of the
breaking nnd looting of sho"ps during
the anti-German riots was due, says
Sylvia Pankhurst, to the Increased
cost of living. The English shops to
suffer had all created hostility among
their customers by putting up prices,
in most cases without warrant.
In the suffrage organ. Votes For
Women, it Is pointed out that a large
number of the wives of Germans, In
nocent sufferers because of these riots
are English women. While these
English women must live on greatly
reduced incomes through the inter
ment of their husbands, the German
wives of Englishmen, who by reason
of blood nnd education might very
well be supposed to have pro-German
sympathies, are free and unmolested.
Suffragists tried to have the allies
act amended so as to protect the Eng
lish wives of alien enemies, but failed
when the bill was put through last
August.

times during the year.
