VAN DYKE PRAISES DUTCH
NEUTRALITY AND CHARITY
Expresses Appreciation for Hollands
J Help Of American Refugees.


I NEW YORK, Nov. 2i.-The Rev. DR..
Henry Van Dyke, American Minister to
II Wand upon his arrival here today,
said:
An American diplomats first talk
must be with his chief. | have just
learned another language, the Dutch. but
its main use Is to hear and not to talk.
The reason for my coming homa on a
/ brief leave of absence is very simple. The
lunbroken strain of nearly four months OF
day and night work has seriously inn
paired my sight. I have come back to
get my eyes patched up. When that is
done ] hope to return to my post and go
on working for our country and the cause
of peace i'm the spirit of our Presidents
declaration,
II have, of course, my own opinions
Of the war, but cannot submit to any
interview of this subject. The position OF
Holland is absolutely unchanged since the
beginning, neutral, firm and friendly. The
kindness of Holland to American fugi-
tives and it's helpfulness to the poor Bel
CLAN refugees are beyond praise.
with all reasonable people, believe
the position of America is better than
ever. They trust us to be- fair and they
know that we will be generous to help
in the spirit OF humanity. The work that
the American commission for the relief
in Belgium is doing to save the women
and children from threatened famine is
a proof of this, When the madness that
began this war has spent itself, I hope
that the United States will have a good
part to play in the restoration Of last
ing peace. wherein all the peoples of the
world, great and small shall rejoice to-
gether. Then this nightmare of blood
will be over. and the palace OF peace will
have its opportunity"
Doctor Van Dyke said he did not know
how long he would remain here

LACK SUPPLANTS
WHITE TO RELIEVE
GLARE IN HOSPITAL
'urgeons at Jefferson Use
Sombre-hued Sheets and
Wear Dark Gowns While
Operating.

The characteristic white Of the hospital
operating room is being replaced by
tombre black. Surgeons at the Jefferson
Hospital, realizing the advantages OF new
Sypes OF surroundlngs. have adopted black
sheets for the operating table. and con-
template Introducing further reforms
which have been demonstrated as aids
TO the proper distribution OF light
The Jefferson Hospital Is the first nsti-
tuition IN the East to use the newly
conceived black accoutrements. Shortly
after the introduction of the lnnova tion
In a California hospital, two months ago
Dr. Francis T. Stewart, physician in
the Jefferson Hospital substituted black
sheets for the customary white swathlnE
during a surgical operation. The expert
ment was so successful other surgeons at
the hospital have become interested and
many OF them now prefer the black sheets
TO the white
About 95 operations have been success
fully completed with the use Of dark
sheetings
BLACK GOWNS FOR SURGEONS.
AS a result, the walls and ceiling of
one of the smaller operating rooms will
be painted black and the surgeons at
tendants and nurses will wear black
gowns instead of the white clothing now
prevalent.
An operation under the new system is
described as a weird sight with the pa
sent draped in black and the nolscess,
black figures lowering over the table and
moving silently about.
The advantages OF using black surround
ings are entirely of an optical nature.
The chief advantage lies in the contrast
between the black sheets covering the
patient and the field OF operation, the
wound or incislon standing out prom-

affected by the white reflected light as
the black cloth absorbs all light which
would otherwise disturb the eyesight The
only light rays fall directly down from
the overhanging electric light upon the
field of operation.
When the surgeons eyes are memen-
tarily raised the shock of facing many
rays of reflected light is gone; in its place
the black walls and surroundings exert a
restful effect The blackness has no de-
pressing effect on the patient it is sald
for the latter is under ether.
AN AID TO STUDENTS.
In ward classes the jefferson Hospital
has found the new accoutrements OF
value. Because of the contrast, students
at the clinics say they can more clearly
see the field Of operation.
The only possible disadvantage of using
the dark sheetlngs physicians say lies
in the fact that stains are not percep-
tlble. as in the white cloth. But this ;ilf
fculty may be obviated by thorough
washing which is certain to remove all
dirt The sheets are sterilized before
being applied
Advocates of the elimination OF white
favor extending the substitution of black
10 convalescent cases, where. they main
tain, the effect of white-clad nurses and
other white surroundings is irritating.
This phase of the reform is open to argu-
ment, as many physicians assert that by
substituting black the sense of absolute
cleanliness would be lost and the patient
would be morbidIy affected by black sur
lroundings.
