MEDICAL HEROES UNDER FIRE
Daring Adventure OF English SUR
geons IN the Field During
the Late War I'm India.

When the medical history Of the last
war In India Is written Il will prove
interesting reading. There were many
difficulties overcome and hardships en-
dured with the usual element Of dan
ger. A good instance Of this was when
Gen. Woodhouse was wounded early
In the war. "A bullet struck him In the
thigh, passed down below the knee,
broke into pieces and lodged. The
Roentgen ray apparatus revealed the
exact conditions and II was determined
to extract the pieces. In the middle
Of the operation, artificial light being
used, the Afridis crawled up and sud-
denly blazed into the tent, sending IS
shots through the canvas. Now that
might have been very disturbing

the perfect application of the aseptio

penedP The operation went on and
was successfully completed us II there

As usual we Ind many examples Of
great personal bravery and devotion
to duty In the midst Of danger. Sur
geon Captain Beyts arrested hem
orrhage under very hot fire, and Sir
William Lockhart, speaking Of the in
cident, said that no one ever better
merited the reward of the Victoria
cross than he. lie got nothing; but
that Is another story. Another med
ical officer greatly distinguished him
self. Surgeon Lieutenant Hugo.
Lieut.. Ford was dangerously wound
ed in the shoulder. The bullet cut the
artery, and he was bleeding to death
when Surgeon Lieutenant V. Hugo
came to his aid. The fire was too hot
TO permit of lights being used. There
was no cover Of any sort. 1t was Mt
the bottom of the cup. Nevertheless,
the surgeon struck q match Mt the
peril OF his life and examined the
wound. The match went out amidst
q splitter Of bullets which kicked up
the dust all around, but by its uncer-
tain light he saw the nature Of the in
jury. The officer had already tainted
from loss of blood. The doctor seized
the artery, and rs no other ligature
was forthcoming he remained under
fire for three hours holding mans
life between his finger and thumb.
When ut length II seemed that the
enemy had broken into the camp, he
picked up the still unconscious officer
in his arms, and without relaxing his
hold. bore him to place of safety.
His arm was for many hours para
lyzed from cramp from the effects of

The War Situation.

The country is anxiously asking, Will
there be war with Spain? Even the most
conservative must admit that there is a
str ong probability that there will be war.
Both countries have put their fleets and
coast defenses in the best condition posi-
BILE; both countries have spent millions Of
dollars for warsbips and war supplies.
The report of the court of enquiry re-
garding the loss of the battleship Maine
reached Washington Thursday night, but
its contents will not be made public before
next Monday. Meanwhile both the United
States and Spain are making every prepa-
ration for war. The Spanish torpedo flo
tilla sailed from the Canaries for Porto
Rico Thursday and this is regarded by
some as a hostile demonstration against
this country.
The important events in congress during
the week were notable speeches by Sena-
tors Challenger of New Hampshire and
Thurston of Nebraska. Both senators
painted narrowing scene Of the situation
in Cuba and both declared that Spain's at
tempt to subdue the insurgents had proved
utterly futile.
