FEW MAJOR OPERATIONS
ON THE FRENCH WOUNDED
Surgeons at Lyon Hospital Report
Great Successes-Pasteur Treat
ment Used for Gangrene.

Of the Associa ted Press.
PARIS. October 4.-The journal des
Debats says that during the first month
after the first arrival of wounded at
the Vichy hospital, where the most i'm
portant operations are performed, the
average of the operations was twenty
per day out of 5000 cases treated.
OF these six hundred operations no
more than ten were amputations, and
among the ten were some of single
fingers and parts of fingers only. TWO
legs. one arm and one wrist were all
the serious amputations that proved
necessary at this great hospital.
This very small proportion of ampu-
tations in comparison with wounded
Of preceding wars is accounted for,
first, by the difference in the effects of
modern projectiles. which have not so
much tendency to produce slivers of
bone. The wound is more localized and
cleaner cut than formerly. In the
second place, surgical science has pro-
gressed and wounds that would have
seemingly required the amputation of
member forty years ago are now
treated with a view to saving II
In connection with the treatment of
bullet and shrapnel wounds the Temps
states that experiments made in a
Lyon hospital have demonstrated that
the German bullets are magnetic and
in many cases easily extracted by the
application of a powerful magnet.

TWO HURT, ONE MAY DIE
Men Drive Through Barricade at
End of Kenyon Street, Fall
ing Into Hole.

Joseph A. Turner of Baden. Md, and
George King. jr., of 1927 Clifton street,
in an automobile, tore through barri-
cade at the top of a 75-foot precipitous
drop at 18th and Kenyon streets last
night. about midnight Turner was
terribly injured on the head and neck.
his shoulder was dislocated, and his
Jawbone crushed. and King was badly
bruised on the head and shoulders.
The automobile which hurtled
through the air after leaping through
the barricade. struck the ground at the
foot of the perpendicular embankment
and was broken to splinters. Both the
men were rushed to Emergency Hos
pital In the car of Lewis CAROLS, and
1t was reported early this morning that
Turner. who is fifty years old, was in
critical condition.
Drops IS to 100 Feet.
Kenyon street between 18th and 18th
streets is an improved thoroughfare,
but at 18th street it stops and its con-
tinuation is nothing but a jumping
of place. with the perpendicular en-
bankment dropping to a depth of from
70 to 100 feet. This hole in the ground
is of great proportions and is on the
property of southwick Briggs, accord
ing to the police. The square bounded
by Kilbourn place, Irving street, 18th
and Mt. Pleasant streets is partly uti-
lized by Mr.. Briggs for greenhouse
purposes. The barricade through which
the automobile tore was placed at the
end of Kenyon street by Mr.. Briggs
in the hope that it would prevent just
the kind Of accident which occurred
there last night.
1t is supposed the two men were
driving east on Kenyon street in the
belief that the thoroughfare went
straight through to Mt. Pleasant or to
18th street.
A watchman employed by Mr. Briggs
heard the crash of the automobile as
1t struck the ground, and when he in
vestigated found the two men en-
deavoring to crawl up the embank-
ment. He helped them to the top and
Mr.. CarrolIs automobile carried the
injured men to the hospital.

ecutor made his closing address today
in the trial of the alleged assassins of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Ans

The evidence, he said. had irrefutab bly,
proved that the Servian ministry. even
the heir to the throne, had often been
in communication with men hired to
kill leading statesmen and the Aus

The latter was hindrance to the

officials and they had decided upon his
destruction. he said. He charged that
