Shaw Declares Critics

LONDON, Dec. &c. Bernard
Shaw. in a letter. to the Dispatch,
makes yet another reply to his critics:
2 LAS to the general reception of my
pamphlet" he says, II wish that those
who denounce it without having read
it would make up their minds firmly
as to whether am a negligible per-
son or not. If 1 am the sensible course
is to neglect me, not to fill columns
with all sorts of fussings about me,
from demands that I should be shot
apparently for high treason to Russia
Ito mere abuse.
IF, on the other hand, am writer
of some Importance, 1t is clearly a di-
rect playing into the hands of the
enemy to announce in all directions
that my pamphlet is a justification of
Germany and a declaration that she
is in the right in this war. Several
English journalists are claiming all
my weight for the Germans in an in
sane determination to damage me at
any cost, even that of circulating
falsehoods and preventing people from

AMERICANS WILL
EXTEND HOSPITAL
WORK IN GERMANY
kaiser's Medical Authorities
Show Greatest Confidence in
Labors of Yankee Doctors.


GLEIwITZ, Germany, Nov. 16
Correspondence of the Associated
Press, by courier to Holland)-An
extension of activities is eontem-
plated for the two American Red
Cross hospital detachments assigned
to Germany and now located at Glei-
WITT and Cosel, in this extreme south
eastern tip of silesia, only a few
miles from the Russian and Austrian
frontiers.
The American surgeons and nurses
have stood the first months test so
well that the German medical au-
( les have the greatest confidence
il leir skill and devotion. They
have assigned to the American hos
pitfalls only serious and iicate cases
among the wounded reaching the
two towns from the Polish battle-
fields.
The unit at Gleiwitz, under COM
mand of Dr. Charles II. Sanders, of
Washington, already has taken over,
in addition to the emergency hos
pital in the city theatre, a private
clinic. with accommodations for more
than one hundred patients. If the
request of the German Red Cross for
three additional American surgeons
is granted they are to be given en-
tire charge of the large city hos
pital with two hundred beds. DR..
John F. Spearman, of Baltimore, as
signed to this unit, has been called
upon frequently to operate in other
hospitals in Gleiwitz, particularly in
cases requiring delicate head opera
tions, his speciality.
The second unit, under DR.. D. f.
bradbury, of Norway, Me-, has charge
of the large garrison hospital at Cosel,
quaint old fortress town whose
framparts are now levelled. The
town, with a population of barely
1000, provides accommodations for
200 wounded. A new hospital, with
$50 beds, is about to be opened there,
and one ward, with ninety beds, will
be entrusted to DR.. John Lancer, of
New York, and a German assistant.
DIR. r. II. Newman, of Knoxville,
Tenn, attached to this unit, is acting
as general consulting surgeon in Co
sci, and his time is largely occupied
with operations in other hospitals.
Foreign hospital attachments, by
rule of the German government, are
not assigned to work beyond the from
tiers of Germany, but the Americans
have been brought as near the front
as possible under this regulation.
Gleiwitz is barely fifteen miles from
the Russian frontier and the roar of
cannon is occasionally heard in the
streets. Cosel is twenty-five miles
further east, but also receives its
wounded from the front. Most of tho
cases cared for in both places are of
the dangerously wounded, those able
to bear longer transportation being
sent by hospital train direct to the
interior.

Germany Not to Occupy
South African States.
Permanently, Says Berlin

BERLIN. Dec. (by wireless to
London).- Solf, the secretary of
colonies, states that the German gov
ernment does not intend to occupy
the South African Union permanent
ly. Germany desires, he says, that
the hostilities which /. were forced
upon her by the South African Union
shall cease.
DIR. Solf further declares that if the
Union government abstains from fur
Their hostilities against German ter
ritory, and If the territory which has
been invaded is evacuated so that
the South Africans may establish a
neutral State Germany would Off
cially recognize this condition, and
would respect the territorial integ-
rity and political independence of the
neutral State.

Mine Dangers Likely to Close
Finnish Coast as Ship Route
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. Dec. .S.-A dispatch from
Stockholm to Reuters Telegram Com
pany reports that the entire crew Of
twenty men of the Swedish steamer
Nora Sverige persisted when the
ship struck a mine off the Finnish
coast.
Two Swedish steamers, the Luna
and the Everilda, were reported yes
terday as having been lost in a
similar manner in the same vicinity,
and 1t is probable that this route
will now be closed to traffic by the
government, because of the danger
from drifting mines. The Nora
Sverige was a vessel of 759 tons, and
was owned in Haparando, Sweden.
