CARGO BOATS
Which Carried Coal and Cereals,
Are Transformed into
Ambulances.

Correspondence Of Associated Press).
GENEVA, Dec 3.-The cargo boats
that formerly carried coal and cereals
on the Rhine have been transformed
into ambulances and are conveying
wounded soldiers from Colmarl to
Cologne.
The German wounded generally are
we'll cared for in the hospitals along
the Rhine, but their numbers have
increased to such an extent since the
middle of October. that there have
not heen enough doctors to give them
prompt attention, and many slightly
wounded have died on this account
So overworked are the surgeons that
they often fall asleep while on duty.
A story comes from Colmar to the
effect that we'll known surgeon, af-
ter having worked for fortnight
with very little rest, fell asleep over
an important operation. Pressing
calls have been made upon the doc
tors in Germany, including the most
aged, to remedy the difficulty.
