MODERN SURGERY HAS
BIG TRIUMPH in FRANCE
SINCE OUTBREAK OF WAR
Mortality In Hospitals Is Report
ed To Be Less Than In
Peace Times
ASSOCIATED Press BY Federal wtrolsss)


PARIS, December 2O.-The triumph
Of modern surgery and antisePtics
which his been scored by France since
the outbreak of the war is shown in
the report just is4ued by Jacques
Bertillon, director of the bureau of med
ical statistics. This report, which re-
cords the number of deaths in the
hospitals Of France amongst the sick
and wounded. shows that the mortality
has been reduced to eighteen in every
thousand cases treated, taking the
first eleven months Of this year as
the basis Of computation.
During 1914, when the hospitals were
not as wen established to care for the
rush of sick and wouaded from the
front, the death rate was City three
fOf every thousand, while in peace
times, in the hospitals Of Paris, the
death rate over series of years has
averaged lO6 in every thousand.
NJ. Bertillon attributes n part Of the
great Improvement TO the greater
skill aud care of the surgeons and
physicians, but says that the grea est
gain Is due TO the fact that the pa
tients are in generally better physical
condition, while the conditions in the
average hospital have been greatly i'm.

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirelo..J

LONDON, December 2O.-Sir John
French, who has been cOmmander-in-
chief of the British forces in France
and Flanders since the beginning of the
war, yesterday formally turned over
the command to General Sir Douglas
Haig, formerly commander of the First
British Corps. Sir John will return to
England to become commander-iR-c hief
of the forces in the United Kindom.
In turning over his command, Sir
John expressed his SORROWS at the
changes which are taking him away
from the front and from the army
which he had led for many months.
He stated that he left the command in
the hands of Sir Douglas Haig with
full confidence in the new commander,
in the army and in the ultimate Viz
tory that they would win. He praised
the officers and the men for the gallant
manner in which they had conducted
themselves in both defeat and victory.
Sir John reached Paris yesterday and
today will be received in audience BY
President Poincaire.

FOR CARGO CARRIER
Sought Eburna Of Union Iron
Works But Found Price Too
High Report Says

That the Togo Kisen Kaisha sought
to buy the steamer Eburna from the
Union Iron Works for the trans-Pacific
freight line but found the price too
great was stated by an officer of the
T. X. X. liner Persia Maru, here Sat
urday. The officer did not know the
name of the steamer, but he referred
to the twin ships building together, and
these were the Annette ROlph and the
Eburna, both of which were sold, the
former by Hind, Rolph & Co., for whom
she was built, and the latter by the
Union Iron Works, which laid her down
as a speculation.
The Annette ROlph was sold Morse
and renamed Pacific. She is of 1880
tons net Two more like her are being
built for Hnd.ROlph. The Eburna was
sold by the iron works for $750,000 and
IL about ready for service.
The officer of the Persia said he
thought it probable that the T. X. X.
would buy freighter in Japan instead,
probably to be in service In two or
three months.
Two hundred tons of freight from
HOngkong came in the Persia for Chi
hese hcTo' Inc hlyO Mafu, mere NOV
ember 20, had about IT'S tons; the
frst to come was in the Nippon Maru,

that the Tenyo Maru, due today, ran
ashore at Kobe and was delayed three
