I have been informed that a movement is on foot to inaugurate the use of this remarkable discovery in the United States military hospitals, and that the Rockefeller Foundation has in view the erection at New York of a large hospital where the treatment may be studied and still further perfected for the benefit of this country.

APPEAL
TO THE POPULATION OF REIMS.
Dear Citizens:
To-day and in the days following, many from among you, both prominent citizens and workmen, will be kept as hostages to guarantee to the German authorities the quiet and good order which your representatives have promised in your name.
It is to your security and to the safety of the City and to your proper interests that you do nothing which may break this agreement and compromise the future.
Have realization of your responsibility and facilitate our task.
Men, women, children, remain as far as possible in your homes, avoid all discussion.
