ell Imperio aleman pede todavia poner

millones de hombres un maximum de

He aqui 10 mas saliente del artlculo
del coronel britanico:
"Ha llegado la hora de examinar las
condolences en- que va a encontrarse ell
poderio militar aleman en- Ell trance de

vista de que las tropas de primera llnea

Alemania la invasion; pero no obtuvo
ell resultado que ambicionaba, toda vez
que los Ej6rcitos alados resistieron ell
empuje del enemigo y permanecleron
dispuestos proseguir la lucha. No
ouedaba a Alemania otro recurso q. el de
movilizar los hombres sin practlca al

apariencia como en- igual case huble-

LEGO, pues, ell momento para noso

de reclutas, la autoridad militar ale
mana concede aplazamientos de un ano,

"Es precise admitir-dice ell autori.

FATHERS AT FRONT HEAR TWO. REPORTS
 FROM SAME RIFLE

Berlin, Sept. 5-one of the. curious phenomena connected with the sounds of flying bullets is the appertn- ly double report from the. shot of 8 single gun This is observed with especial frequency by the Austrians fighting in the Alps against the Ita1- tans. They were disposed to. believe the second report was the echo of the first, but the curious fact remained that the second report was louder than the first. Moreover, the German soldiers fighting in Belgium, where the land lies as level as a table, often heard two reports.
 The explanation now put forward is that of the flying bullet compaets the airt in front of it, and that this produces sound waves which, when they first strike the ear, give the eff feet of an explosion. AS the small >caibre bullet of the modern rifle flies considerably faster than sound travels, the main report arrives later, and is naturally louder than the first.

BULLET FROM SOLDIERS
 HEART; HE LIVES
Delicate Operation Reported Through German Med

Berlin, Oct. 5-The opening of a cham Der of the heart and extracting a bullet is reported by Professor Freeund and Dr. Casperson in the current number of the Munich Med icaI Weekly. The patient was a young soldier who had recovered from a bull let wound through the liver. Upon N-ray examination preceding his dis charge from the hospital a foreign object was diScerned in the heart. It heved synchrinously with the hearts l. rulsations, and thep hysiciansa decided that it was~a shrapnel bullet
 To prevent possible dangerous applications it was determined to remove the bullet. The breast was opened, the perfcardium slit suff1-. ciently to permit the heart to be brought forward, quick incision was made in the right ventricle and the bullet was immediately found and removed. Much blood was lost, but the bleeding stopped after prompt stitching, and the patient made complete recovery.
 The bullet, which weighed 12' grams, had taken a most cratic and extraordinary course. It struck the soldier on the left shoulder from above, as he was storning rorwaro,. in1icting but a, flesh wound.
