Fatalities Among the Wounded.

A report to the army commission,
made by the director of the medical
department at the ministry of war in
France, discloses the wonderful re-
suits achieved by modern surgery.
The wounded, between September
Is and November 80, numbered $780,
600. approximately. Fifty-four and one
half per cent of them returned to the
firing line. Twenty-four and one-half
per cent were sent out on furlough
during convaleseence and have since
returned to the front Seventeen er
cent are still in hospital, to complete
their recovery. One and forty-o' hit
hundredths per cent are unfit for fur
Their service. Two and forty-eight
hundredths per cent died from the
effects of their injuries.
The mortality would probably fall
as low as one I~ cent If the wound
ed could be reedved from the battle
lines with less delay and there were
enough professional surgeons to treat
them all.

EXECUTION OF LEO N. FRANK
Will BE LEGAL MURDER, SAY
CONDEMNED MANS FRIENDS
How the Mob
Hungered For
Leo Franz Life

The trial was a maelstrom In
which all the lower attributes OF
humanity, In It's passion, seethed
and withered with poisonous IA
tality.
The Judge felt the impending
danger of hostile mob action-and
continued the trial.
The sheriff felt it-and had arm
ed deputies scattered among the
crowds in and out OF the court
room.
The jury must have felt II, for
the attitude OF the crowd was un-
mistakable. Men In the crowded
courtroom badgered the jurymen
during the trial with threats that
should a verdict freeing Frank be
rendered the jurymen would suffer
personal violence and business
bankruptcy.
Full page newspaper accounts
told of all the women that had
m killed In Atlanta during the last
few years. and demanded the con-
viction OF Mary Phagan's slayer.
This newspaper hysteria was but
one element in the storm cloud OF
passion and politics that surround
ed the case.
The police were panic stricken
by their own sense of official in
competence.
The result was the conviction Of
Leo Frank upon the evidence OF
Jim Conley, drunken Negro, a
self-confessed perjurer, and six
time convicted criminal.
