COMMITTEE URGES MORE FUNDS TO
ESTABLISH PARIS HOSPITAL FOR THE
RESTORATION OF SOLDIERS FACES

The committee wishes the public to
know that this undertaking has re-
ceived the full endorsement of the
American Dental Association. and that
there is an almost unlimited demand
for funds for development Of the
special American Hospital in Paris,
which will specialize in the upbuilding
and restoration OF the faces Of soldiers
injured at the battle fronts.
While this work has been receiving
the best possible attention under the
circumstances. it has OF necessity
been subordinated to general surgical
work among wounded soldiers. IN
view of the fact that there are more
than 10000 cases of wounded and mu-
tilated faces Of soldiers requiring at
tention az this time in France, il s
needless to dwell upon the great inn
portance and urgency of this work. Il
is all-mportant that every person who
is in any way able to contribute to the
relief Of those sufferers should do 50
at the earliest possible moment as
considerable more money will be need
ed for the establishment and support
Of the hospital in Paris.
