BAYONET WOUNDS
MOST DANGEROUS
WOUNDED CAN ONLY BE TAKEN
OUT OF THE TRENCHES
AT NIGHT.

New York, Feb 12.-Shrapnel caus.
ing infection makes the most trouble.
some wounds of the present war. but
Oayonet wounds are The most deadly.
according to Prof Walton Martin OF
the department of surgery Of Colum-
bia University who recently was en-
gagged in the American hospital in
Paris and who was speaker today
at the alumni day exercises at Co
lumbia
The number of soldiers wounded by
bayonets who reach the hospitals is
very small the surgeon said and
from his experience behind the Brit
i'm and French trenches he was con.
vinced that few men thus wounded
ever left the trenches alive
Fragments of uniforms, splinters Of
wood and stone and chunks Of soil
were probed out Of the wounds OF
soldiers .elled by shrapnel DR.. Mar
tin said. The great danger is from
Infection he continued. "Shrapnel
makes big wound going in and big
wound coming out" Out OF 100 cases
under his charge. 81 wounds were
caused by shrapnel and every one Of
these vas infected. OF those due TO
rifle bullets ohe-fifth were cean AMI
the infection in the others was milder
than that made by shrapnel In the
100 cases there was only one bayonet
wound
One lesson taught by this war. he
stated, is the necessity for a large
base hospital behind the fighting
lines. as the fatality list increases ac-
cording to the distance the wounded
have to be moved deplorable cir
cumstance in this connection. he
added. is that the wounded can be
taken out Of the trenches on at
night

ENGLAND ANSWERS
AMERICAN PROTEST
FIRST lNSTALLMENT ON THE
NEUTRAL SHIPPING QUESTION
is RECEIVED.

Washington, Feb l2-Transmission
of the first installment of Great Brit
aims supplementary note in answer
to the American protest against inter
ference with neutral shipping bv the
British fleet was completed today and
the state departments cable experts
began decipherng IT,
About 5000 code words have been
received ana it is understood that
as twice as much more is to come. t
probably will be two or three days
before the communication is ready for
consideration by Secretary Bryan.
Beyond the fact that this supple.
mentary note is generally an expan-
sion of the arguments briefly set out
in the preliminary British note of
January 10, little is known here Of
its contents. 1t is understood. how
ever, that among the new matters IN
trOduced is the recent decree exprO-
priating the grain supply of the en-
pire. In the preliminary note the
British government admitted that
foodstufls should not be detained and
put into prize court without pre-
sumption that they were intended for
the armed forces of the enemy or the
enemy government But it was so
stated taat the British government
could not give an unlimited and uncon-
ditional undertaking in view of what
was termed Germany's departure
from accepted rules Of civilization.
The great length of the communica-
tion is accounted for by the mass Of
statistics embodied in its bearings on
the difference between normal and
war times trade by neutral countries
in such raw material as copper and
commodities which might be OF use to
the military forces Of a belligerent.
one Of the principal arguments set
out in the note is understood to he in
support Of the right of the British
government to take suspected ships
into port for inspection, to determine
the nature of their cargOes.

Gus COMPLICATIONS MAY FOL-
LOW HIS ACTIONS.

Washington Feb ~ The United
States today sent representations 10
General Carranza pointing out that
serious complications might fol ow
interference with the rights of the
diplomatic corps in Mexico City
1t is understood no specific refer
ence was made to the cases OF the
Belgian and Spanish ministers both
of whom have been expelled from
Mexico by Carranza The communi-
cation was of general character coy
ering the delicate situation of all the
diplomats in the Mexican capital
Late today the state department
was informed by Consul Canada that
Jose Caro-, the Spanish minister, had
reached Vera Cruz and had gone
aboard a Spanish transatlantic liner
Protection for him i'm his journey to
Vera Cruz has been requested by the
United States and be was not dis
turbed en- route The minister viii

While officials were retcent about
the communication sent to CFranza
il was understood the Washington
government pointed out that it would
be to Carranzas interest TO accord
the diplomats facilities for comnuni-
eating with their governments aud all
the usual courtesies Of their positions
No indication was given as to wat
course the American government
would pursue if this was not complied
with, but the implication that serious
complications might ensue if foreign
governments Withdrew their diplo-
matte representatives was sad to
have been conveyed
The Carranza agency here gave out
the following statement today sup-
porting the chiefs act in deportin8
the Spanish minister:
"Deplorable as the incident may
be. it should be thoroughly under
stood that Mr. Caranza as first chief
of the constitutioualist army and in
charge of the executive power in
Mexico. has not in any manner dis
regarded THE customs of international
law nor shown a lack OF consideration
of the cordial friendship and respect
he has for the government Of his
majesty Alfonso the Thirteenth and
the people of Spain. He had acted
merely in regard to al individual who
has trampled upon the privilege OF
hospitality during very hazardous
moments for the Mexican nation
The agency cited precedents in
which the American government dis
missed ministers accredited her
whose personal activities had been
disapproved.

Will be made in due course and if the
views repeatedly expressed i'm respon-

the German measure in making the

is a fully justified answer to the
British attempt to starye ont the Ger

sires a mitigation Of Germany's naval

Great Britain to lift her embargo on

in her embargo the campaan against

and that the Germans captured 26,O0D

upon the Russian retirement as a
wise move, declaring THAT it would
compel the Germans to fight the bat

RUssIA's HOPE.

Litoysk, the famous Polish quadrilateral, says
a study in war geography issued by the Nation
al Geographic society. The study deals with
the northernmost link in the interior chain of
Russian Poland'e defense.
Novogeorgievsk guards the western and
northern approaches to the capital, Warsaw,
just as Ivangorod guards the southern and
eastern approaches. Defensive works of lesser
Importance lie to the north end and to the west
of Novogeorgievsk, nearer to the German bor-
der, most of which have already fallen before
the advancing invaders hesnorthern angle to
the quadrilateral is fortress of the first class,
with strong plan of outworks and minor de-
lenses, situated upon the confluence of the Bug
and the Vistula rivers. It lies 25 miles to the
north and west of Warsaw.
A new circle of eight powerful forts has been
thrown around the old works of Novogeorg-
ievsk by the Russians. These forts form the
main strength of the post. The forts are built
to the rivers at a radial distance Of ten miles
from the enciente Novogeorgievsk commands

if the city is in earnest about finding it.
