RHINE CARGO BOATS
USED AS AMBUlANCES
Associated Press1

GENEVA, Switzerland. The cargo
boats that formerly carried coal and
cereals on the Rhine have been trans
formed into ambulances and are con-
veying wounded soldiers from Colmar
to Cologne.
The German wounded generally are
well cared for in the hospitals along
the Rhine, but their numbers have in
creased to such an extent since the
middle of October that there have not
been enough doctors to give them
prompt attention, and many slightly
wounded have died on this account.
So oyerw0rked are the surgeons that
they often fall asleep while on duty.
A story comes from Colmar to the eff
feet that a well-Rnown surgeon, after
having worked for fortnight with
very little rest, fell asleep over an
important operation. Pressing calls
have been made upon the doctors in
Germany. including the most aged, to
remedy the difficulty.

 Again he lowered out of his chair and over to her. Her small hand was gripped in his big one as she arose to meet him, and after a fair, straight look into the eyes between them both glanced unconsciously at the elasped hands.
