Lincolu's Terse Remark Concerning
Re.nforcemonts.

General Horace Porter In his Scam
paigning With Grant" In The Century,
carries the narrative Ia the March num-
Der through the Cold Harbor campaign.
General Porter says: While at the mcss-
table taking our last meal before stsrtin g
upon the march to the James on the even
Ing OF the 18th, the conversation turned
upon the losses which had occurred and
the reinforcements which had been re-
ceived up to that time. The figures then
known aid not differ much from those
contained In the accurate Official reports
sfterward compilsd. From the opening
OF the campaisn, May 4, to the movement
across the James, June IL, the total casual
ties In the Army Of the Potomac. includ-
ing Sheridan's cavalry ana Burnside's
command, had been: killed 1921;
wounded, $3.50; captured or missing
8, 966; total 1926. The services of all the
men included in thess figures wers not,
however, permanently lost to the army.
A NUMBER OF them were prisoners who
were afterwsrd exchanged, and many
had bscn only slightly wounded, and were
soon ready for duty again. some were
doubtless counted more than once, as a
soldier VINO was wounded in a battle
twice, and afterwsrd killed, may have
been counted three tiues in making up
the lis. Of casualties, whereas the army
had really lost tut one man.
The losses OF the cmy have never
been sscertained. No preeisl informs-
tion on the subject hes b,on discovered.
ard not even general statement can be
made OF his C sualtics. In few of the
battles Of this campaign his lcsses were
greater than the lossts suffered by the
Union troops; in the greater part of the
BATHS they were less. Our reinforce.
ments bad amounted 10 just about tho
same number rs the less S. 1t was ssti-
mated from the best sources of informa-
tion that Lee had also received reinforce
ments equal to his losses, SO that the
armies were now Ct about the same sizs
as when the campaign began. All the
reiDforcements organized ia the North
and reported as on their way to the front
did not reach ne. There WAS a good deal
OF truth In the remark reported TO have
been made by Mr.. Lincoln: "we get a
large body of reinforcements toget her,
ard start them to the front; but after de-
Quoting the sick, the deserters, the strsg-
elers, and the discharged, the numbers
seriously diminish by the time they reach
their destination. It's like trying to
shovel beas across barnysrd; you DON'T
get 'em sll there"

REBUILDING NOSES.
Aluminium as Foundation and How IL
Used.


IL Used.
In this era Of reconstruction through
which New York Is passing even noses
come i'm for their share of remodeling and
rebuilding. SO many people are afflicted
with dis1guring disease which eats away
the bones OF the nose and face that "plas-
tic surgery" has felt called on TO find
means TO restore broken or decayed noses
to their original beauty or even TO i'm
prove on that.
DIR. Robert Weir was among the first to
discover practical solution. He expert
mcntcd with some success in transplant
ing bones of living fowls 10 the human
face. One Of his earlier operations was
conducted in a stuffy little Harlem fiat
His patient was stretched on the.tablc un-
der ether; her face was laid open and
streaming blood, but the duck, not receiv-
ing due attention, had escaped unnoticed
from the assistant. "Now, doctor" said
DR. Weir to dlgnifled participant, "oblige
me by half killing that bird and let me
have about three inches from it's breast
bone for this girls nose"
Amid the grcwsome surroundings there
we-e ter minutes of vigorous exercise in
catching tho bird and reducing it to
state Of inscnsibility. Since then he has
dispensed with live birds and has turned
his attention 10 gutta percha, rubber, sill
yer and gold for nose bridges All these
failed because electrical action was gener-
atcd requiring further operations. Finally
pure aluminium was resorted TO with sat-
isfactory results Now the nose bone is
made Of that metal.
tt has stout nook at the upper end, by
which it Is secured 20 the base of the fore
head, while the other end is held out from
the face by two short legs, terminating in
sharp spikes, which are anchored in tho
bone. There is no necessity for ugly scars,
because the operation is carried on entire
ly beneath the skin. A long incision is
made under the upper lip above the teeth,
so that the whole flap of the face can be
turned back like mask or an old glove
Then, when the metal framework is Sc
cured, the skin is drawn down again, and
the nose tissue is shaped into Grecian,
Roman or pug nose, az desired.
Seven years ago Dr. Weir got his first
ideas from French publications, but has
since made many notifications and inn
provements Other prominent surgeons
have followed his example, such as DIR.
Abbe, DIR. Powers of Denver and DIR.
knight. The operation is comparatively
simple, and al have succeeded in restoring
noses, which, If they are not of service in
distinguishing bad odors from good, are
ut least beautiful in looking natural. New

Unlike Cuba. Creto Is not in the fiIsl
instance fignting for Independence. The
spirit OF republicRnism Of the Western
hemisphere is not with the Cretans. They
| have not advanced so far as that. They are
essentially Europeans and believers in
monarchy with parliamentary attachment
in accordance with the enlightened belief
OF the major part of Europe, yet some
ways distant from Democracy.
measure OF home rule, Of representa-
tion together with taxation. in a word
nothing more and probably something
less OF self government than our fathers
demanded before they were forced to the
conclusion that it would be & bout as easy
to secure absolute INDEPENDENCE for the
American colonies as colonial represe nta-
tion la the government of their Affairs,
that is all the Cretsns demand. And
while their kinship incIines them natur-
ally to Greece they would doubtless have
remained content under Turkish rule or
the rule OF any other power providing
they had not been denied oil rights
and privileges in the handling OF their
local affairs. As, for the matter of that.
the American colonies in 1873, or Cuba in
our day, would have been satisfied to re-
main colonies ha i their rights been re.
spected.
Inc present troubles in Crete date back
to 1883 when the right OF modified
self-governmenf. that for mary wears had
been very satisfactory, was Withdrawn, the
occasion being the accession to rowor in
the elections of the Literal party, which,
IN all the years preceding, whilo under
the laws II had an equal right TO govern
with the Conservative party providing 1t
could carry the elections, actually had
not enjoyed power because it's opponents
up to 1889 invariably succeeded in keep
ing control of the administration. AT
this frst reversal OF the political instiiu-
tions as they had existed and the foil
development of self government as thus
the Sultan wus foolish enoue
to become alarmed and ever since then,
step by step, the rights enjoyed by the
Cretans have becn taken away from them.
And N q corresponding fashion the
Cretans, little by little, have been prepar-
Ing for revolutionl while frequent out
breaks have marked the various stages of
lhe resumption OF the complete power of |
5 he Sultan.
