attorneys for the coal operators. At
ter that it Is expected one of the high

The Denver hearing has continued
considerably longer than was anticipat
ed by the committee. Chairman Eos

KAISER'S SURGEONS
 BEST ON. THE FIELD.

New York. Sept. 16--Surgeons in this city who have pursued higher courses of study in universities in Germany and have had an opportun- ity to become acquainted with the eff nciency and equipment of the hospf- tai corps of the Kaiser's army say to- day that should the report be true wounded on the field, their retreat must indeed be most precipitate. Some of the surgeons express amazement at the reports as the hospital arm of the German army is looked after with as much scientific care and precision as is the offensive branch of the army. .s
 For years war surgery has been special branch of study in the Ger man universities. and no physician completed that course So expert have Germans become in emergency surgery and in the invention Of emer- gency instruments and medicines that the Red Cross units of the allies and those sent from this country are us absorbent scottonl and bandages as part of their field equipment.

 The German war surgeon he said. ..is a finished product. For a hundred years there has been spe- cfal school for military surgery in Berlin, and there annually hundreds of, young physicians from all parts of the world go to study
