SURGEONS STUDY WOUNDS.

War Giving Army Physicians Some
thing New to Ponder Over.
Correspondence OF Associated Press.
Berlin. Nov. 17.-The German sur
geons have begun to talk about their
experience in healing the wounded in
this war. Professor Payr of Leipsic
University. who is acting as surgeon
general TO the Saxon army, recently
tnprovsed hospitals on the line cf
fmprovtshed hospitals on the line OF
the German communications in which
ne gave much interesting information
on this subject
Payr pointed out that the balls used
in shrapneu shells produce much more
dangerous wounds than rifle bullets.
They carry into the body fragments OF
clothing. a corresponding quantity Of
dangerous germs; and they are much
more likely to be lodged in the body.
There was suppuration IN 20 to IS per
cent, OF cases. The same danger is
still more serious with wounds from
fragments OF shells. 1t was found too,
that this war has been especially
marked by the great number of such
wounds. Not only DO eil-fragments
carry germs into the body with bits
OF clothing. but the dangerous case
from the shrapnel explosion often ad-
here to the fragments and balls in
sufficient quantities 20 poison the
wound. Lock-jaw Is often produced by
wounds Of this character; but by vac
cinating patients with q tetanus serum
the German surgeons have materially
reduced the ratio Of deaths in such
cases since the first weeks of the war.
Especially dangerous are the wounds
nv f. cr1 n7tc ne
by aviators. Even very small frag-
ments often produce much more
dangerous wounds than much larger
pieces OF ordinary shells. These small
fragments penetrate very deep into the
body, cutting thru all blood vessels:
and thick masses OF muscle are cut
ihru as with sharp knife. Aeropiane
bombs also frequently cause bad
burns.
So far as simple flesh wounds from
small caliber rifles are concerned,
Payr found that these heal very rap
idly. In most cases the wounded were
able to return TO the ranks within
week or two. Even in cases Of chest
wounds, where the ribs are not touched.
healing is usually very rapid, even
though the lungs be penetrated.
A new kind Of wound has been
caused by the sharp steel arrows
thrown at great heights by French
aeroplanists- These arrows have about
the thickness OF an ordinary lead pencil
and when thrown from a height of
about 5000 feet strike their victim at
the velocity Of bullet just leaving the
muzzle Of q rifle Payr says they
produce very dangerous wounds.
u. Pay: declares that the small
bullet badly skaters the hollow bones
Of arm and leg when striking them

distances they tend more to bore q

seems no doubt the Russians are re-

expectations the allies may have held
of an early invasion of Germany must
be dismissed, considerable mystery
surrounds the reported decisive Ger
man victory which Berlin claims.
The claim is made tlat the Rus
slams have been driven from their po-

of railway in Galicia again is IN the

kow in central Poland has been
stormed, but silence is maintained as
to North Poland, where tie German
victory is said to have been achieved.
The German official report dis
misses this battle with the statement
that "in Poland We are still pursuing
the enemy, who continues to give
way"
Amsterdam dispatches serve to
heigaten the confusion, as no names
of battles, towns invested or captures
are given
The allies offensive in TIE West
continues to progress slowly, accord
ing to the Paris communication. The
aggregate claims during the week
show considerable advance in Flan-
ders.
The admiralty denies the German
report that German ships which raid
ed the east coast of England Wednes-
day sank two British destroyers, say
ing no British ships were lost.

towns still are holding inquests over
