21 IMPORTANT
OPERATIONS A
' DAT, HOSPITAL!
Report Says During the First
Month After First Wounded
Began to Arrive at Vichy
Hospitals, This Was Average
of 8,000 Cases Treated.
Paris.—The Journal Des Debats says'
that during the first «onth after the
first arrival of wounded at the Vichy !
hospital, where the most important
operations are performed, the average
of the operations was 20 per day out I
of 8,000 cases treated.
Of these six hundred operations no!
among the ten were some of single fin- !
among the ten wer some of single fin- !
gers and parts of fingers only. Two |
iegs, one arm and one wrist were all
the serious amputations that proved
necessary at this great hospital.
This very small proportion of am
putations in comparison with wounded
of preceding wars is accounted for, 1
first, by the difference in the effects
of modern projectiles, which have not
so much tendency to produce slivers of
bone. bhe wound is more localize 1
and cleaner cut than formerly. In the
second place surgical science has pro
gressed and wounds that would have
seemingly required the amputation of
a member of forty years ago are now j
treated with a view to saving it.
Shrapnel Wounds.
J In connection with the treatment of
I bullet and shrapnel wounds The Temps
that experiments made in a
Lyons hospital have demonstrated
that the German bullets are magnetic
and are in many cases easily extracted
by the application of a powerful mag
net.
In one case at the Desenettes hos
pital at Lyons a bullet was extracted
from a depth of three and a half inches
by an electric magnet powerful
enough to lift a ton, while its extrac
tion would have been extremely dif
ficult by any other process. The mag
net Is also being used together wit t
radiography to locate bullets, splinters
of shells, etc., under the flesh, ren
dering Immense services to the sur
geons.
There is less sickness in the French
army after two months on the battle
field than in time of peace, due to the
efficiency and preparedness of the
military health service, according to
Professor Bdmond Delorme, medical
inspector general of the army and a
member of the Academy o i Medicine.
Since the beginning of the war he
has been on an official mission of in
spection of field and other hospitals
where the French wounded have been
treated.
Lesi Than in Peace.
"He established in the first place,"
says The Figaro, “that sanitary con
ditions la our army are perfect. The
wounded Frenchman Is a healthy man.
Sickness Is exceptional. During this
war the number of cases of sickness
is less than in time of peace.”
Complications from wounds cause
the most serious trouble. They occur
with surprising frequency and gravitv,
says Prof. Delorme. They chiefly re
sult in gaseous gangrene and tetanus.
k injections of oxygenated water are ef
ficacious in both cases, but for tetanus,
injections of anti-tetanic serum are
being used as a preventive. More than
six hundred thousand doses of this
serum have been turned over to the
army health service by the Pasteur
Institute since the beginning of the
war. By this mean it is expected that
the H”es of thousands of wounded will
be saved.

WAR WILL BL
END OF KINGS
Will Be the Abolition of
Militarism and Monarchy,
According to Rev. John H.
Holmes.
New York.—The European conflict
will prove a blessing to mankind in the
abolition of militariasm and monarchy
A\hich will follow it, according to the
Kev. John Haynes Holmes, who de
voted his sermon in the Cburch of the
Messiah; yesterday, to the war.
Here we have the promise and as
-Bl;rfnce that there will come the end
of kings and emperors and czars and
kaisers.” he said, “and the establish
ment of the rule of the people.
Iwo of the great nations wer©
dragged into this wax unwillingly. One,
France, is a republic; and the other,
England, in spite of its king, is the
greatest democracy the sun shines on.
At the head of the other nations is a
poor, weak, doddering old man in his
dotage; at the head of another a poor,
leeble, half-witted czar; and on the
throne of the third one of the supreme
groat men of our time made mad by
the superstition of militarism.
“One of the greatest blessings t’/at
could come at the close of this war
would be the outbreak of revolutions
tn Austria, Germany and Russia, when
the emperors would be driven from
their thrones and compelled to earn a
decent living for themselves.
“The hatred of war has never been
a genuine and fundamental thing. Al
ways there has lurked in our hearts a
furtive, belief that there is glory and
honor in war. It has needed this to
show us just what war it.”
GHENT, BRUGES
ART IRKS SAFE
Churches and Museums Intact.
Had Feared For Michael
Angelo’s Statue of the Ma
donna.”
Berlin, (via The Hague and London,
11:40 a. m.)—The cities of Ghent and
Bruges in Belgium, having been occu
pied by the Germans without fighting
were in no way damaged. The
churches and museums are intact.
The famous art treasures in the
two cities were moved to places of
safety, last month when a bombard
ment was feared. These include Mi
chael Angelo’s staute of the "Madon
na," which was in the Church of No
tre Dame at Bruges. The art treas
ures in the hospital of St. John near
the Church of Notre Dame also were
saved. A number of pictures were
placed in a safe deposit vault. The
mausoleum of Charles the Bold in
Notre Dame was not damaged.
PLENTY OF PURE BLOODED
DRAFT HORSES IN U. S.
Washington.—The European war
lias virtually placed an embargo on
the importation into the United States
of pure blooded draft horses for
breeding purposes hut the standard of
the draft horses in America will not
suffer as a consequence, in the opinion
of Department of Agriculture experts
today. According to the department's
experts there is a sufficiently large
amount of pure blooded already in
this country to suffice all require
ments and the American draft horH«
will now have an opportunity to dem
onstrate its own qualities.
17 SURVIVORS ARRIVE.
London, 8:50 a. m.—Captain John
son and 16 men of the crew of the
British steamer GUtera which was
sunk by a German submarine, have

Good Roads for Telephone Talk
npHE good roads movement has not been confined to the
highways.
The Bell Telephone system has covered the country with
“good roads” for telephone talk, reaching every nook and cor
ner.
There are more than 12,000,000 miles of these “good roads
in the Bell system. Some of them are strung in single pairs or
in aerial cables from pole to pole; others are hidden away in
und rground conduits; they reach the heart of each industrial
and commercial center of the nation and to the most remote
habitations.
These “good telephone roads” of the Bell system, all oper
ated by one system, under one policy, forming one continuous
system of intercommunication, connect more than 7,500,000
telephones for universal service.
