SEVERELY
BATTERED

The steamer Yosemite which
sailed recently from Tacoma with
a cargo of lumber for California
returned to Seattle yesterday
after a terrible battle outside Of
Cape Flattery with a terrible
North Pacific storm.
Capt. Nelson managed to turn
the vessel about after 1t had
sprung leak and began listing.
For a period, 1t is said, the crew
gave up hopes of ever reaching
port again. Only the heroism of
the crew and the master seaman

have the latter had the benefit of all
the curative science that was unques-
tionably exercised on behalf of the
former? This is another thing which
France is openly demanding.
In addition French surgeons are
pointing out that surgery as practiced
in France is distinctly Of the "eon-

soldiers. Whether or not her scar
city of food is responsible for this is
not known. The entire number of
1900 are now gathered at Constance,
where arrangements have just been
completed by the Swiss government
for their transportation into France.
This will begin next week.
Special trains have been provided
each one of which will carry $50 of
the helpless men. They will not only
be in charge of sisters of the various
Catholic orders and Red Cross nurses
but each train will have at its head
military commander. They will trav-
ell only at night and will have the
right of way over all other traffic on
the Swiss railways. The last posi-

But what France wants to know is
that even if German surgeons as a
rule are followers of this method
something Of which French surgeons
are openly doubtful-was it applied
with the same impartiality to the
French wounded who fell into the
hands of the Germans as It was to
their own.
Great light is expected to be thrown
upon this subject when the French
wounded finally arrive from Germany.
A thorough investigation will then
