SULTAN UNDERCOES
SEVERE OPERATION
TO SAVE HIS LIFE

BERLIN, Sept. SIN an interview
published here the famous surgeon,
Mr.. James Adolph Israel, tells of his
trip to perform an intricate operation
en- the Sultan of Turkey, which :'roved
highly successful. He speaks of his
patients courage and of his confid-
ence in victory. Mehmed V. declared
himself true friend of Germany.
DR.. Israel said:
II was asked by the Turkish, en-
bassy in Berlin to go to CONSTANT
nople l found the Sultan in a very
serious condition. His condition was
so grave, indeed. that it took week
to decide whether to risk an opera
ton.
About this point had many con-
ferences with the Grand Vizier and
the Foreign Minister. and the final
decision was placed in my hands. In
view Of the fact that without an opera
ton the duration of the Sultan's life
would have been very brief. and be-
cause of the terrible tortures he was
suffering as a result of his alEnent.
finally decided to operate. The
operation consisted in the opening of
the bladder and the removal Of two
stones of the size of an egg.
LAS you know. the Sultan stood the
operation we'll, and the cure may be
called complete. l left the Sultan able
to walk about in his rooms. In view
of the patients age, the courage with
which he submitted to the operation
certainly is to be admired.
when the Oldest son told him he
could not understand how his father
could have the courage to lie on the
operating table the Sultan quoted the
words of Persian poet, which run
somewhat like this: An old thor
oughbred race horse still can stani
lot more than a young colt of lowly
blood"

A WORD FOR MOTHERS

II is a grave mistake for mothers to neg

silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.

excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that SCOTS
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.

very elements to invigorate the blood,

and build strength.

THE SUPREME CHANCE =

'Of my brother Philippe, my dear
father, l have heard nothing, though
family unhappiness cut him off from
our circle so many years l am sure
that he is fighting on the side of
France" ..
Capt. Jean Janvier laid down his
pen and stared out into the gathering
darkness. 1t was his eight hours off
duty, but, exhausted though he was,
and longing for the repose of his
straw bed in the excavation under the
hill, he was writing a letter home.
1t was odd that he was thinking so
insistently of Philippe, his hayward
brother. The family came from Al
SAGE. After the war of 1870, when
the Germans annexed that province,
they migrated to France, always hop
ing to return when the despoiled ter
ritory had been regained. Philippe
had visited Thanh, where their ex-
tensive interests were, to carry on
the wine business. But, after a bit
ter quarrel, he had cut himself adrift
for some years nobody knew what
had become of him.
Capt Janvier felt tenderly toward
the brother whom he had not seen for
so long. His own life had gone hard
ly. The girl to whom he had become
engaged, Celeste Paquin, had broken
off few months earlier, acknowledge
ing that she loved another Capt. |
Janvier had gone to war in a spirit |
of elation; having nothing more to
live for, he hoped to give his life for
his country.
He started; he had almost fallen
asleep. The sentries in the trenches
were exchanging fitful rifle shots
with the enemies. Some instinct,
which he could not analyze, impeDed
the captain to make the tour of the
lines once more 1t was now dark
and one could walk behind the
trenches, where the reserves were
