the wounded soldiers In German
field hospitals do not emanate from

made by Or. L. Edwald, well known
surgeon and professor OF Fordhan,

Edwald Is a sonin-law of the United

his wife's family as far back rs four
generations were United States ma.

important part in the establishment
Of the independence of the United
States. The statement of DR.. Ewald
gains in value on account of the fact
that he spent considerable time in
the foremost surgical clinics of
France, England and Germany. He
returned only q few weeks ago to
this country.
Germany is accused of having
made systematic preparations for the
present war for the last three de.
cades. She is accused of having
technically perfected, not only fire
arms and all kinds of hitherto un-
known devices to destroy the prop
erty and lives of enemies but she IS
accused of having supplied the whole
world with its deadly weapons; but
none Of her accusers seems to re-
member that she has worked with
the same diligence and thoroughness
and with the same efficient results
at the ways and means of healing
the wounds of those that suffered
from her arms; that for the last fifty
years she has been the center Of
the world in everything pertaining to
war surgery.
WAR surgery is special branch
Of medical science in Germany with
an established chair at each of it's
universities. No physician who did
not pass his examination in war sur
gerry Is given his diploma and per-
mission to practice his profession.
The education of German war surg.
cons is in every respect much more
thorough and complete than that of
the French. Germany has possessed
special school of military surgery
for more than a hundred years in
the institution of the Pepiniere in
Berlin. The Pepiniere has a con-
slant attendance of 600 medical stu
dents who during the whole course
of their studies are being taken care
of by the funds of the institution.
Even their spending money is sup.
piled by the government. These men
are especially trained for naval and
military surgery and follow the col
ors as soon, as war is declared.
"All leading surgeons of Germany
especially the chiefs of the surgical
departments of all universities, are
put a la suite OF the army, and in
case OF war they as well as the whole
staff OF their assistants, follow the
soldiers in the field. To doubt the
efficiency of German surgery and
their clinical achievements is to
doubt the surgery and the surgical
treatment of all the physicians and
surgeons of the world combined.
There isn't a clinic or a surgical de.
partment in Germany that is not
frequented constantly by hundreds OF
French, English, American, Japan
csc, Chinese and Spanish physicians.
They come to perfect their knowl-
edge. They take advantage of the
studies and experiments of German
